Affiliates unexpectedly learned Monday that Univision was no
longer distributing Sotelo's Spanish-language radio show. Instead, the company
encouraged stations to play music during Sotelo's regular time period.
“It’s been a great run with Univision,” Sotelo said in a
statement distributed by Univision. The message noted that the Los Angeles based DJ was recently elected to
the National Radio Hall of Fame.
Sotelo, whose nickname means Tweety Bird, is an immigrant
from Jalisco , Mexico ,
who crossed illegally into the United States
from Tijuana in
1986 as a 16-year-old. He rose to become one of this country's top-rated and
best-known radio personalities.
Allaccess.com is speculating Sotelo may be starting his own
syndicated morning show.
KCET PBS Los Angles aired this profile during Hispanic
Heritage Month in 2010.
