Dear Listener to Tertulia,

Thank you for contacting WFCR with your concerns about the program "Tertulia."  We always welcome listener comments, and appreciate hearing your thoughts.

I am writing to let you know about some new developments: "Tertulia" will continue to be broadcast on Sunday nights from 8:00 to 10:00.  We recognize that "Tertulia" has served the Latino community well for many years, and we are pleased to be able to allocate some resources to keep it on the air.   It will continue to be the mix of music, talk and pre-produced features you have come to know.

The first hour of "Tertulia" has always been the most popular, with the majority of listeners tuning in between 8:00 and 10:00 PM, so the new schedule for "Tertulia" will keep it on the air during its own "prime time."

In addition, WFCR will be taking two other steps to increase its service to the Latino community.  First, we will add a bilingual reporter to our News Department.  He or she will be based in Springfield and cover stories throughout the region, but will also be assigned to focus special attention on the Latino community.

Also, we will be adding a new program, "Epicentro Político," at 10:00 on Sunday nights.  Its producers describe it as "a groundbreaking national Spanish-language radio program focusing on news analysis and political debate [featuring] interviews with Latino members of Congress, roundtable discussions with prominent journalists and commentators, on-location reports from correspondents based in major U.S. cities, and in-depth conversations with Latino writers, actors, and musicians."  You can learn more about "Epicentro Politico" at www.epicentroradio.com/index.html

Because of your interest in "Tertulia" and WFCR, I am letting you know about all of this before we inform the general public and the press. 

Thank you again for contacting us about this very important matter. 

Helen Barrington
Program Director, WFCR
