El Meneo de la mañana, commonly known as El Meneo, is a morning radio show that began in Puerto Rico's west coast at a station then known as Cosmos 94. Not at all surprising many of the island's top radio performers began their careers here. Among the most popular radio talents to have participated in this morning show were: Antonio Sanchez (el gangster), José Vallenilla (Funky Joe), Luis Antonio Shanom (Shanom), the DJs Known as Red Shadow and Frankie Jay, Also Raulito Carbonell, Víctor Pagán, Gilbert Merle and also Erick Williams in the early stages. El Meneo later was taken to WCMN-FM (Delta 107.3 FM Actually known as [Toca De To' 107.3 FM]http://www.tocadeto.com) by Shanom where he hooked up with Santos Rodriguez (Dusty) and later with his former radio partner Gilbert Merle. This team of Shanom and Gilbert Merle established a few records that still hold to this day and gained recognition internationally. At WCMN El Meneo became the first truly interactive electronic radio show. This show became the first ever to be broadcast outside of the island and to the US mainland. "El Meneo" ran until 2004. It was Puerto Rico's longest running modern morning show and has been credited by having established the formula for Latin morning radio. Many if not all the DJ's that formed part of this show are still some of the most recognized radio talents in the island.
