KMXO
- ... that KMXO near Abilene, Texas, aired the region's first Spanish-language radio program and later became its first full-time Spanish-language station? Source: [1] + [2]
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Bridget Partridge
- Comment: One of the hook fact sources has an issue with dates, saying that the radio program aired in 1961 when the station was not yet built.

Overall: @Sammi Brie: Nice work. Regarding the conflicting source, I interpreted it as "In 1961, Hernandez started working for Curtis, who would then work for KWFA, which later became KMXO". However, the explanation you provided makes sense. Epicgenius (talk) 18:13, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- Curtis was the receiver for KWFA in 1967–68. He might have been involved beforehand. But KWFA went on the air in 1963, so it can't possibly be the case that he was on that station in 1961 (when the station was still in hearing status at the FCC).
