Cristina Radio officially goes on the air tomorrow Thursday, January 12, 2012. The National Latino Broadcasting (NLB) channel, built around talk show icon Cristina Saralegui , is part of a two-channel agreement with Sirius XM Radio.
Cristina signed an exclusive radio contract with NLB in May of 2011, marking her satellite radio debut.
Cristina Radio will air 24/7 on SiriusXM channel 146. Its programming roster includes: an interactive morning talk show; “Cuerpo y Figura,” nutrition and fitness; health news with “Dr. Martiza Fuentes…Contigo ; “Querer es poder,” personal motivation; “Al Gusto,” cooking; and “Cristina entre amigos,” a weekly one-hour live broadcast hosted by Cristina herself.
Sirius XM Radio selected NLB in April of 2011, to lease two channels on a long-term basis to air on the Sirius and XM satellite radio platforms.
Cristina Radio is the second channel from the media entity on SiriusXM; En Vivo, a music channel featuring a mix of top-charting Latin hits and live performances, will also launch this week.
