By Jackie Madrigal Photographs By Fernando Leon /RETNA LTD.

"Amor Temprano en la Mariana" on Spanish Broadcasting System Latin pop WPAT (Amor) /New York features four talented personalities: Reyis, Claudia, Alfredito and El Gordo, who not only entertain and inform a massive Hispanic New York audience in the mornings, but also go far beyond their radio duties to support the city's Latino community. With an impressive résumé, each has been instrumental in the show's ratings success. According to the fall 2007 Arbitron, "Amor Temprano en la Mañana" is No. 7 12+ (3.7 share), No. 8 25- 54 (3.6) and No. 9 18 -34 (3.4).

Multimedia personality keeps it fun and fast -paced in Amor's afternoon drive El Bacán Bacán: Making Afternoons Interactive By Jackie Madrigal

Pedro Luis García has a lengthy list of accomplishments as a radio/ TV personality but he is best -known as "El Bacán Bacán" during afternoon drive on Spanish Broadcasting System (SBS) Latin pop WPAT (Amor) /NewYork. Fun and fast -paced, Garcia's "El Show Grande del Bacán Bacán" allows the audience to participate directly with the station. He encourages listeners to interact with him as much as possible and during the show's "Hora Celular" -cell phone hour-he says, "We're all connected." García opens up about what makes his show tick, the things that he loves about radio -and what he might change.
