Carmen’s Calls is celebrating its twentieth anniversary as it returns to Los Angeles and Phoenix.
Created by Raul ‘Rico’ Colindres, Carmen’s Calls is a daily two minute prank call segment delivered by FTP for CHR, Rhythmic, Hip-Hop and Urban stations. It is adding new clearances on Meruelo Media’s 93.5 KDAY Los Angeles and Sierra H Broadcasting’s “101 The Bounce” KZCE Phoenix. Colindres commented, “I’m beyond grateful to be celebrating this milestone and the return of Carmen’s Calls to the airwaves in LA and Phoenix. Cheers to our affiliates and PDs that believed in the benchmark – here’s to 20 more years!”
Mereulo SVP/Programming and Content Pio Ferro said, “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Carmen’s Calls back to LA! Carmen is funny, entertaining, and brings exactly the kind of energy that resonates with our listeners, making the show a perfect addition to our programming lineup.”
Skyview President/CEO Steve Jones added, “Next time you are driving in Los Angeles or Phoenix don’t be surprised if the person in the next car is laughing hysterically. That’s what happens when Carmen’s Calls is on the radio! Carmen creator, Rico Colindres, turns everyday scenarios into appointment listening. Thanks for your partnership, Rico. Here’s to another 20 years of Carmen making each day better!”
