Guadalupe Radio

What Guadalupe Radio does

Guadalupe Radio is a non-profit, Spanish-language Catholic media organization headquartered at 12036 Ramona Blvd. in El Monte, California. It operates the 87.7 FM terrestrial station in the Los Angeles market and distributes its programming through a multi-platform digital footprint that includes iOS and Android mobile applications, Smart TV applications on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Google TV, a web platform at guadaluperadio.com, and active social media presences on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Its content portfolio spans live radio, live TV, on-demand podcasts and series, daily devotional readings (Lecturas del Día), spiritual life plans (Plan de Vida), and structured faith-formation programs through Centro Misión and Escuela de la Fe. The organization also operates the Tienda e-commerce store selling Catholic books, rosaries, jewelry, and branded merchandise, and runs large-scale community events such as the annual "Mujeres de Fe En Encuentro" conference at The Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles.

The business model is donation-driven rather than commercial. Revenue streams include monthly recurring donations, one-time gifts, special campaign contributions, vehicle donations (Dona tu Auto), Amazon Smile affiliate contributions, and the Guadalupanos por Siempre legacy giving program, supplemented by merchandise sales and event ticket revenue. Distribution is self-serve across digital channels, with the mobile app distributed via a country-aware SMS download flow covering the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The primary customer segments are the Spanish-speaking Catholic community in the United States and Spanish-speaking media consumers more broadly, with a secondary segment of donors and supporters. Guadalupe Radio is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no publicly available financial statements. There are no documented partnerships, acquisitions, patents, or AI/ML capabilities, and the headcount is in the 11-50 range. The organization describes itself as a recently consolidated digital media entity, with a copyright notice dated 2021 even where the originating station traces further back.
