?KQUE 1230 AM has a 15 year heritage in the Houston market and is the only
one of two powerful 50,000 watt AM stations with coverage of the entire Houston
metro. Soon, KQUE will carry our Asian format full-time. I have personally listened
to this station in San Antonio, Austin, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, and of course,
Houston. From the moment I heard this radio station, I had a dream to make this
a 24-hour, Asian-formatted station. I know that our community is rapidly growing
and it deserves a great station which represents our music, culture, traditions,
and most importantly? our voice. The mission of ASIA VISION is to serve, fulfill
the needs, and bring together the local Asian community now. Many people talk about
