Thirty years on the air is no small feat, and for Radio La M in Oxnard, it’s a milestone worth celebrating. Salvador Ceja Gonzalez—known to listeners as Gerardo Ceja—was honored Wednesday at the Marez Event Center, just a block from the station’s longtime home in downtown Oxnard. The recognition came from West Coast Cultura Arts, local elected officials, and the Mexican Consulate, a testament to how deeply La M is woven into the fabric of our community.
For decades, Radio La M has been more than just a station—it’s been a lifeline for the Spanish-speaking community, sharing music, news, and culture that connect us to our roots. As Oxnard grows and changes, having a voice like La M helps preserve our heritage and keep neighbors informed. We tip our hats to Gerardo and the whole La M family, and we thank Vida Newspaper for spotlighting this well-deserved honor. Here’s to 30 more years of keeping our community connected.

Ventura PD Investigating Shooting Homicide
Neighbors, the Ventura Police Department is investigating a fatal shooting that happened early Tuesday morning on the west side of the city, near West Ramona and Riverside streets. Officers were called to the area around 1:05 a.m. after reports of gunfire, and sadly, the incident is now being treated as a homicide. Our hearts go out to the victim's family and friends, and to everyone in that quiet neighborhood who woke up to sirens instead of sleep. This hits close to home for all of us in the 805. While Ventura and Oxnard are separate cities, we share more than just the freeway — we share the same concerns about safety and the same hope for peace in our communities. We'll be following this story as more details come out, and we encourage anyone with information to reach out to Ventura PD. Thanks to Vida Newspaper for bringing this to our attention — it's a reminder to hold our loved ones a little closer today.
