La Reina

La Reina is broadcast in Barranquilla and Cartagena, the two most important cities of the Colombian Caribbean coast. At a national level, it registers a 2% of preference among all the listeners in the country. It manages a mainly musical programming, mainly based on vallenato genre. However, in Barranquilla it broadcast three news stations.

 

It belongs to the ORO Radio Network, which has four radio systems and about 30 frequencies. Besides, the Organización Radial Olímpica has two brands with presence in Panama (La KY and Radio Mil).

The ORO Network (to which the station belongs) is owned by the Char Family, one of the most influential families of the Colombian Caribbean coast. The Char’s are owners of several companies on different sectors like trade, financial, industrial, real state, among others. In fact, Alejandro Char Chaljub who appears as owner of media in Barranquilla, was elected Mayor of that city in the last elections for the period 2016-2019. It should be noted that he had already served in that same office during the period 2008-2011.

 

It is in 1969 when the Char Family purchases Radio Regalos, the seed of the Organización Radial Olímpica ORO. For the period 1972-1973 the Olímpica stations expand with Radio Príncipe (am) and Emisoras Atlántico. In 1998, the station that we know today as station La Reina emerges. Seven years later it will expand its coverage to Cartagena de Indias, the second most important city of the Colombian Caribbean.
