It's true, there's a new Houston radio station rockin' the airwaves playing all of Selena's greatest hits 24/7.
I heard the rumors about a new station continuing the legacy of the "Queen of Tejano" playing her songs, but had to listen for myself. Imagine my surprise when I turned on the radio to 105.3 FM and the first song I hear is "Como la Flor."

It wasn't just any version of the song playing, but the one she sang at her last performance at RodeoHouston in 1995 with the roar of the crowd in the background, which I am "muy excited" to say I attended.
Fresh off the heels of the new Netflix Selena: The Series comes another early Christmas present for Selena fans across the area as you can listen to all your favorite Selena hits "without commercials, and without DJs," according to Joey Guerra with Preview.
Guerra also said some of the taglines being used to promote the radio station include: "La leyenda continua" or "The legend continues," and "La casa de la reina de Tex-Mex"- "The home of the Tex-Mex queen."
The station is also featuring short interviews between tracks with interesting tidbits about the beloved Texas singer.
From classics to live performances, duets, and even covers of other songs Selena did, all you have to do is tune in to take a trip down memory lane.
Recently, Selena made news as Billboard's top Latin musicians of all time. And Funko Pop! unveiled its new Selena action figure, which will debut in March 2021. I'm not ashamed to admit I already pre-ordered mine!
You might say the holidays just got a little more merry and bright as you "Bidi bidi bom bom" your way over to 105.3 FM.
