On a warm, bright summer day the news being shared was just as hot and scorching as the weather. Battle long and hard enough for what you believe is right and chances are good you will prevail. It's the American way. Today Tejano Music lives in Austin because people cared enough to share mere words but calculating actions. The Austin Tejano Music Coalition is responsible for firing up the questions, ideas and influence to rationalize the reason why Tejano music belongs to the people. More importantly as true leaders Jose Jaime Garcia (Encino Broadcasting) and Leonard Davila (President - ATMC) found a path to rationalize the intrinsic value Austin radio services the hearts and wallets of the Tejano community. ATMC has made Tejanos all over the world even prouder today. Their tenacity, dedication and resolve willed them to win a simple unassuming victory in one voice for their Tejano culture. The playbook has been written and now it's up to each Tejano to begin thinking like a loyal consumer honoring the efforts of a few for the greater good of many by purchasing from Tejano merchants and Tejano friendly brands. They'll have to go out of their way but the support will guarantee today's victory was not in vain. Today, Tejano lives in Austin and come Friday turn up the volume at KTXZ 1560 am to cheer on the great news.
