Spanish-language conservative talk radio show debuts

Here is an interesting development and more evidence that not all Hispanics are Democrats. Most of them, in fact, are social conservatives.

From Politico:

A former Bush administration official is launching a Spanish-language talk-radio show in hopes of bringing a conservative political message to a medium popular with many Hispanics.

"It will be like Rush Limbaugh but with a little Piolín flavor," said host Alfonso Aguilar, referring to the godfather of conservative talk and the country’s dominant Latino broadcaster.

Last Saturday, Aguilar began what will be a weekly, hourlong show in 11 top Univision radio markets by interviewing Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio. An interview with Newt Gingrich will air Saturday morning, just four days before Florida’s primary. The show airs live and features newsmaker interviews as well as listener phone calls.

It;s the first national conservative talk show in Spanish and the idea is to reach Hispanics on a station that draws millions of listeners — but doesn't often include a conservative perspective.

In a few years you might be able to trace the birth of Hispanic conservatism with the debut of this show.
