WFNO (AM)

WFNO (1540 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Gretna, Louisiana, and serving the New Orleans metropolitan area.

[3] Because AM 1540 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations KXEL in Waterloo, Iowa, and ZNS-1 in Nassau, Bahamas, WFNO is a daytimer, required to be off the air at night to avoid interference, when radio waves travel farther.

The founders of KGLA's Spanish-language programming were Luis Alberto Carrillo of Costa Rica and Julio Guichard, from Cuba.

The station has remained faithfully committed to serve the New Orleanian community's interests even while successfully transforming itself into a viable enterprise.

KGLA has been awarded all sorts of accolades after its prompt recovery from Hurricane Katrina, reportedly using a small gasoline-powered generator to broadcast emergency messages for those who had no other means of communications in the first few days following the storm.
