Over the past year, a flurry of activity in Miami has resulted in a plethora of new conservative-leaning spoken word programming en español on the radio dial. Now, a Texas-based entrepreneur who in 2022 began a website designed to appeal to Spanish-language television viewers seeking an alternative to Univision News and Telemundo has made the big leap into broadcasting with the acquisition of Spanish Broadcasting System’s Mega TV unit for $64 million.
Why did Orlando Salazar buy Mega TV, and what is his motivation for the creation of VOZ Media, having no media experience whatsoever? Political viewpoints are certainly one reason for this Republican, who may be seeking to create a “Newsmax in Spanish” for U.S. audiences.
In this InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM, Salazar opens up about his plan for Mega TV, and why he believes the time is ripe to take the content on his website and place it in front of the cameras.
