Asian Pacific, All the Time

Architect of Seattle’s Spanish radio hopes to build 24-hour ‘Asian Station’

By Erik Derr
AsianWeek Pacific Northwest Correspondent

The man credited with giving Seattle its first 24-hour Spanish radio station wants to do the same for the Asian Pacific American community.

Ed Ramirez, lead developer of Radio Sol, or Sun Radio, announced plans last month for a Seattle-based AM station devoted to APA news and issues. The station’s format would include programs in a variety of Asian and Pacific Islander languages.

“The Asian community needs a radio station,” said Ramirez, an executive for Salem Communications, which owns about 90 radio stations across the country. “I just feel it’s a great necessity.”
