Artesia News
RTA celebrates 18 years on air
Radio Television Artesia, is a non profit Portuguese organization that is dedicated to keeping the Portuguese community of Artesia and local cities informed with news and events happening in Portuguese communites worldwide, including the Azores and Portugal.
It is with great pride and satisfaction that thousands of Portuguese, Brazilian, Mosambiquians, Angolan, Timorese, and Verdianos, Guinenses, healthy Tomenses, Macaenses and Goenses, for the first time view a Portuguese speaking Television program in Southern California.
RTA began on October 19, 1990 on KNXT channel 18 of Los Angeles. It started with the dream of two students from California State Fullerton, David Martins and José Sive, among all dificculties and obsticles they encounterd they pursued this dream. They were soon enthusiastically joined by a corresponding acquaintance of the then " Jornal Português", Fernando Dutra. It was then that these three pioneers on the historical day of October 19, 1990 presented the first Portuguese based television program in southern California. The program developed, grew and became RTA, Radio Television Artesia. This is an organization which is run by an Administrative Board and has a large impact in the Portuguese community. The radio program, "Memories of Portugal", driven by Manuel Ivo Cota and Manuel Aguiar, is the longest airing program on RTA and to this day still has great popularity.
This television station consists of several live programs and a vast range of recorded events, documentaries etc. Of the live programs and by his excellence and originality, "Crónica da Semana" and "Noticias da Comunidade", stands out and is presented by Manuel Aguiar, who still oversees the operations of the station and holds the title of General Manager and Director of Programming.
