79 (2) S.R. 3 (2005)
SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 3
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join citizens across the Rio Grande Valley in paying tribute to
radio announcer and program director Hugo de la Cruz, who is
celebrating his 38th year with Univision Radio; and
WHEREAS, Popular performers in the Tejano, Norteño, and
Conjunto music industry will honor the popular radio personality
at the Festival de Estrellas y Tributo a Hugo de la Cruz, which is
being held in Hidalgo on July 26, 2005; and
WHEREAS, As program director for KGBT-FM and KGBT-AM,
Hugo has kept KGBT-FM at the number one spot in ratings for years,
not only among Spanish-language stations but in the total market;
KGBT-AM, with a broadcasting range that reaches all of South Texas
and deep into Mexico, consistently ranks among the top 10 radio
stations in the market; and
WHEREAS, Hugo has long believed that every person,
regardless of social or financial status, deserves respect and
compassion; he obtained medical assistance for a 500-pound man
whose obesity confined him to his house for years, and he found a
home for a family living in a cardboard shanty; he has assisted
many people and raised thousands of dollars to help others in the
community; and
WHEREAS, He is well known for his ability to laugh at
himself and with others during his highly rated show, Y Ahora
Usted Opina, and hundreds of callers express their opinions
during his popular Football Scoreboard on Friday nights; and
WHEREAS, Hugo de la Cruz has brought enjoyment to thousands
of listeners of radio stations KGBT-FM and KGBT-AM, and he indeed
deserves legislative recognition on the occasion of his 38th year
with Univision Radio; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby commend
Hugo de la Cruz on his exemplary career on Univision Radio and
extend to him best wishes for continued success; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
