Texas' First All-Spanish Radio Program

The International Goodwill Program

On October 28, 1928, "Radio Sam" (KGCI, now KMAC) initiated a two-hour nightly program entirely in Spanish. The station's owner, Sam Liberto, wth Studios located at St. Mary's Univeristy, and Edward Buckely, a businessman, persuaded Julian F. Lozano to produce and announce the program. Until his death on January 31, 1951, Lozano promoted cause of international understanding. In the tradition he established, San Antonio radio stations schedule many hours of programs in Spanish each day.
