Radio Bilingüe

Radio Bilingüe stands out as the premier Latino public radio network and content creator within the U.S. public broadcasting landscape. Its core mission is to amplify the voices of Latinos and other marginalized communities. The organization operates 13 full-power FM non-commercial stations across California and the Southwest. It is also known for producing the first and only daily national Spanish-language news and public affairs programs in public broadcasting. Numerous affiliate stations nationwide broadcast the award-winning journalism featured in Radio Bilingüe's Noticiero Latino news show and the Línea Abierta call-in talk show, which are unique in both public and commercial radio. Radio Bilingüe offers a 24-hour national satellite content service that showcases lively music and cultural programming, along with regular productions aimed at enhancing Latino community education, civic engagement, and health awareness. All of this content is available for live streaming at radiobilingue.org. Visitors to the radiobilingue.org website can listen around the clock, stay informed with updates from Radio Bilingüe’s news service that focuses on Latino issues, provide feedback, explore an archive of significant Latino figures and events, and receive notifications about special events and programs. Founded in 1976 by volunteer farmworkers, activists, artists, and teachers as La Voz que Rompío el Silencio — The Voice that Broke the Silence — Radio Bilingüe began as a single non-profit station in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Today, it plays a vital role in addressing disparities in access to public airwaves, serving as an essential platform for reaching socially, economically, and linguistically underrepresented populations.
