Eddie "Piolín" Sotelo (born December 1, 1972) is a Mexican radio broadcaster. He is the host of the nationally syndicated radio show El Show De Piolín on Entravision.[1] His nickname means "Tweety" in Mexican Spanish, a nickname he acquired as a child. Fans of his and his cast also call him "papuchón", which means "big daddy".[2]
Early life
[edit]Sotelo was born in Ocotlán, Jalisco, on December 1, 1972. He moved to the United States with his family when he was 6 years old in 1978. He graduated from Saddleback High School in Santa Ana, California in 1990.
Career
[edit]In 2003, Piolín became host of Piolín Por La Mañana. The morning radio show was broadcast entirely in Spanish for a Spanish-speaking audience and was nationally syndicated to 50 markets.[3] In 2006, the Los Angeles Times ranked Sotelo among the 100 most powerful people in Southern California.[4]
Piolín was removed from Univision Radio on July 22, 2013,[5] after the Los Angeles Times reported allegations of sexual harassment,[6] claims that Sotelo denied.[7]
SiriusXM launched “Piolín” Radio in 2013,[8] and in 2014, he launched his current show El Show de Piolin on 40 radio stations.[9][10]
Piolín was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2013.[11]
