Her new show, 'Levantate' (Wake Up), co-hosted with Denise Reyes and built around romantic songs and giveaways, is part of a sunrise rebranding effort by the radio station.
When KLVE listeners woke up and tuned into L.A.'s oldest Spanish-language FM station on Sept. 14, they heard two voices as intimate as those of family members. Those warm, welcoming voices belonged to María Elena Nava and Denise Reyes, who hit the airwaves of the syndicated morning show 'Levantate' with a variety of Spanish love songs, giveaways and congratulatory phone calls from listeners and family members.
'My family reminds me how I was rewriting radio or TV commercials, write them down and revoice them back in my hometown in Michoacán, Mexico.' After high school, Nava studied broadcasting at Columbia College Hollywood, now called California College of ASU . 'I took their two-year program. I went without my parents' permission and I started working full time at a factory and studying at the same time,' Nava said.
