KGLA (830 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Norco, Louisiana, and serving the New Orleans metropolitan area. The station is owned by Crocodile Broadcasting and airs a Spanish-language tropical radio format, known as "Tropical 105.7." The studios and offices are on the Interstate 10 Service Road in Metairie, Louisiana. The transmitter is on Lower Guide Levee Road in Laplace, off Interstate 10. KGLA has a power of 5,000 watts in the daytime. Because 830 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WCCO in Minneapolis, KGLA must reduce power at night to 750 watts to avoid interference. Programming is carried on two FM translators, 94.7 W234DH in Baton Rouge and 105.7 K289AM in Timberlane. History On December 11, 1987, the station signed on as WADU with an Adult Contemporary format targeting the western suburbs of New Orleans. It became a Spanish Contemporary outlet with the WFNO call letters on March 25, 1996. For much of WFNO's existence under the moniker "La Fabulosa 830," programming was very general and centered on Regional Mexican and Tropical Music formats along with a variety of drive time programs that included local and international news updates. Other programming included sports talk programs airing in the afternoons, religious programming, public affairs programs, and radio news magazines that included news and reporting from CNN en Español. Near WFNO's largest format change on July 1, 2011 to a strictly Regional Mexican station under the moniker "La Raza 830am" along with the consequent changes to sister station KXMG to a Spanish Contemporary Hit Radio formatted station, WFNO played a music format more closely aligned to Spanish Contemporary Hit Radio format with announcements in Spanish between songs that included "...the best is yet to come," possibly alluding to the soon-to-come KXMG "La Mega 107.5" on the FM dial. Also during this transitional time, a short-lived Rock en Español formatted program aired on weekday afternoons called "Órbita 830", but was subsequently canceled after WFNO and KXMG switched formats. Programming on formerly WFNO's La Fabulosa, included shows such as "El Vacilón de la Mañana," which later aired on sister station KXMG "La Mega 107.5" with radio personalities Nasty and Potris. El Vacilón on KXMG, as it was known on WFNO, is still a morning drive time show. However, when the program aired on WFNO, it included local news updates and international news bulletins from CNN en Español
