The financial issues at Americano Media has led Audacy Spanish Conservative Talk “Radio Libre 790” WAXY South Miami to move to Spanish Oldies.
Audacy launched “Radio Libre” in October 2022 with programming supplied by Americano Media. Americano, which had not been paying its employees for months, ceased its audio programming in early September. MiamiWire reported that the company had been in talks to Voz Media about a buyout, but owner Ivan Garcia-Hidalgo did not consider Voz’s offer of $1 plus assuming all debts to be a real offer. Voz itself has had financial issues as it was unable to complete its $64 million purchase of Spanish Broadcasting System’s television assets.
Audacy has two job openings pointing to a return to the Spanish Conservative Talk format under their control as they are seeking a talk host and producer for the station.
