IIls one of the areas most popular and controversial Spanishlanguage radio shows. and so it is with great personal pleasure that I extend my congratulations to Miguel for achieving WSKOs highest ratings. Miguels record of service to the Spanishspeaking community is outstanding. He came to this country in 1962 as a refugee from his native Cuba at the age of 11. without speaking a word of English. But through his hard work and an avid interest in journalism. he became a writer for his high school newspaper. the editor of two college newspapers. and in 1978 earned his masters degree from the Columbia University School of Journalism. Miguels career in journalism has brought him success and accolades In television. radio. and print. both In English- and Spanishlanguage media.
