MEDALLAS DE CORTEZ
Awards sponsored by:
The Medallas de Cortez awards are named in honor of Raoul Cortez, founder KCOR, the first Spanish-language radio station in the United States, in 1946. His passion, dedication, and visionary nature are not only the stuff of which dreams are made, but serve to inspire and carry forward those dreams and continue to make Hispanic radio a compelling force in media and the communities it serves.
