About Radio Bilingüe

RADIO BILINGÜE’S MISSION is to serve as a voice to empower Latinos, Indigenous Mexicans and other underserved communities. Our programming centers Latino arts, culture and languages as the fabric of our communities, and puts critical information in the hands of audiences ignored by other media.

Farmworkers, activists, artists and teachers in California’s San Joaquin Valley brought Radio Bilingüe to the public airwaves in 1980. They called it “La Voz que Rompió el Silencio/The Voice that Broke the Silence.” Today, Radio Bilingüe owns and operates 30 non-commercial stations in California, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, New Mexico and Texas, with an additional 75 affiliates across the U.S., airing our national Spanish news on health, immigration, worker rights, climate resilience, voting, racial justice and more. Radio Bilingüe champions equitable access to the public airwaves, bringing news and information to those who need it most: essential workers, immigrants and other Latino working families. Programming connects listeners in many isolated communities with one another on-air, coast to coast and across the US-Mexico border.

Radio Bilingüe is supported by a wide range of partners including private foundations, public agencies, businesses, fellow nonprofit organizations and individuals committed to keeping the airwaves open to our growing audience. Our funders advance Latino health, culture, education, civic engagement and responsive news coverage that our audience cannot otherwise access.
