HARLINGEN, RGV – Each weekday, RGV Public Radio 88 FM presenter Mario Muñoz produces a local news segment called Afternoon Update.
The Rio Grande Guardian will be running these segments in digital format from now until 88 FM goes off the air. The station is being sold by the Diocese of Brownsville within the next month or so and the new owners, Relevant Radio/Immaculate Heart Media will not be running NPR or local news programs.
Muñoz’s popular two local news segments, Closer to Home, which runs on his morning show, and Afternoon Update, will continue after 88 FM changes hands. They will continue to be broadcast in digital format by the Rio Grande Guardian. More on this in a later edition.
