Hope Media Group has appointed Tony Luna as Network Program Director for its Spanish Christian “Vida Unida“.
Luna joins Hope Media Group after exiting as Program Director of Audacy Spanish CHR “Mega 101” KLOL Houston in the company’s April layoffs. Luna spent twelve years at KLOL after previously programming in New York at SBS’ “Mega 97.9” WSKQ and “93.1 Amor” and launching Univision’s “Caliente 105.9” WCAA as well as over a decade in his native Puerto Rico. He will be based at the company’s Houston headquarters starting in late June.
“Vida Unida” is currently heard on 91.7 KHVU Houston, 90.9 WLFE Miami, and 93.5 WNVU New Rochelle/New York along with multiple HD2s and translators across the country. Current Program Director Sadiel Castro will become co-host of “Myrka en la Manana” with Myrka Dellanos.
Luna said, “I am incredibly excited to join the amazing team at Vida Unida. As a deacon with over 30 years of experience in radio, I am delighted by this opportunity to work with such a passionate group of individuals. Together, we will continue to spread messages of hope and faith through our uplifting music and programming. I can’t wait to connect with our listeners and be a part of this wonderful community, sharing the Gospel’s transformative power with everyone.”
Hope Media Group Chief of Programming Scott Herrold adds, “Tony Luna’s extensive radio background in two of our most prominent markets positioned him perfectly for this role. Yet, it was his dedication to coaching and fostering community involvement that truly distinguished him from the other candidates. I’ve already received glowing feedback from numerous radio personalities who attest that Tony is one of the best bosses with whom they have ever worked.”
