An funding group affiliated with the leftist tycoon will purchase the historic Radio Mambí and 18 different Spanish-language stations characterised by their right-wing, anti-communist programming.
A George Soros media group acquired the go-ahead this week from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to purchase a complete of 18 Spanish-language radio stations distributed all through the United States, regardless of complaints that this could create a monopoly in radio broadcasting.
Among these 18 stations is the emblematic Radio Mambí, a station traditionally linked to the Cuban exile group and of anti-communist ideology, which Soros’ allies will now management as soon as the deal is finalized.
The Soros firm that can monopolize Hispanic radio is Latino Media Network, a media firm run by Jess Morales Rocketto and Stephanie Valencia, two former Obama White House staffers and advisors to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential marketing campaign.
Biden’s FCC, which rejected a request to dam such transactions filed by Latino listeners, reported that the quantity to be paid by Soros’ funding fund for the radio conglomerate could be over US$60 million.
In addition to the historic Radio Mambí, Radios Hispanas de Nueva York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Antonio can be bought.
There is little question that its content material, so much more pro-Trump and pro-Republican Party, will start to have a tone way more in favor of Joe Biden.
This huge media acquisition by Soros comes as a determined try to win again Latino voters that the Democratic Party misplaced within the final election because of the profitable insurance policies of former President Donald Trump, who turned them into Republican supporters for the primary time in a very long time in a number of states.
“With the last major hurdle cleared, the Soros-backed Latino Media Network can finalize its purchase of Univision stations, neutralizing or killing the anti-communist bastion Radio Mambi, and attempting to exert influence over the 2024 elections in the nation’s top Hispanic markets,” analyst Jorge Bonilla instructed Fox News.
Even although the takeover of Radio Mambi represents a tough blow for the anti-communist group in Miami, the principle broadcasters of the community introduced that they refuse to be managed by Soros and guaranteed that they might resign from their jobs when the sale is finalized.
Some of them have already stepped apart and fashioned the model new Radio Libre 790 on Oct. 3, which has among the finest stars of Radio Mambí and can be a Spanish-language various to the change in programming that’s anticipated within the networks purchased by Soros.
