La Pura Onda

La Pura Onda - Saturday 6:00 a.m. - Noon on KNTU.

La Pura Onda has ended its run on KNTU.

Host Tony Garcia continued a musical effort that began more than 40 years ago when the program first aired on KNTU for a half-hour.

The show became a Saturday morning staple feeding your desire for fresh new Tejano, puro squeeze box traditional conjunto, and the timeless Tejano sounds of yesteryear which brought back memories.

While the show underwent a few name changes over the years, so did the University of North Texas which was known as North Texas State University when the program first went on the air.

Tony had been continuing the show with the help of a few UNT students since the 2013 death of his co-host Art Garcia, but decided it was time for the show to come to an end.

All of us at KNTU thank Tony Garcia for keeping us entertained for the more than 20 years he gave to hosting this incredible program.
