WADO-AM NEW YORK, 1280 {HISPANIC TALK RADIO} {KOSOFSKY ETHNIC RADIO COLLECTION -- SPANISH} (RADIO)

Summary

One in this series of Spanish-language programs, offering two hours of news and interactive talk and hosted by Jose Ramon Coti and Malin Falu. The first news items covered include the Federal government's announcement that the economy is solid and a new law against assisted suicide in Michigan. Another major topic is the scoring of a fifty-fifth home run by Sammy Sosa, who has thus caught up to Mark McGwire. Horoscopes are then cast by Walter Mercado, and traffic (with Isabel Montero) and weather news follows. The hosts resume, bringing up a number of new topics, including the successful U.S.-Russian economic summit, the second most severe fall in the U.S. stock market, and the crash of an Uruguayan plane. They move on to an extensive analysis of assisted suicide, drawing parallels between this issue and that of abortion. Salvador Cruz then reports on the world of sports, giving early results at the U.S. Open, returning to the topic of Sammy Sosa, and bringing up a violent incident involving Mike Tyson. Further news follows, including stories about the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Cuba; plus traffic and weather reports. Listeners then learn that Kennedy Airport has just reopened after a brief closing and that publishers are competing to put out a book by former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The hosts go on to take calls about Sammy Sosa and about the U.S.-Russian summit. A final news summary includes a discussion of U.S. security measures against terrorism, the successful marketing of the videotape of the film "Titanic," and a report by Cesar Regueiro on elections in Puerto Rico. Includes commercials, promos, and public service announcements.

(This program is in Spanish.)

The acquisition and cataloging of this program were made possible by Marvin and Jacqueline Kosofsky.
