A growing number of hosts are leaving a Spanish-language radio station
after it was bought by a group backed by billionaire leftist George
Soros.

Nelson Rubio announced his resignation from Radio Mambi on July 12,
following Dania Alexandrino and Lourdes Ubieta.

Radio Mambi “has been the voice of the Cuban exile, the voice of
conservative men and women who defend freedom, democracy, family
principles, truth, and faith in God,” Rubio said during a press
conference in Miami. “Many in this community have felt betrayed by the
acquisition of this radio by a company financed by the left liberal
extremist, George Soros.”

Rubio and Ubieta are joining Americano Media, where Alexandrino
already had a show.

“Being faithful to my principles I couldn’t accept being part of any
business associated with these leftist activists and their socialist
agenda,” Alexandrino told reporters.

Radio Mambi was one of 18 radio stations in 10 cities that was
recently purchased by the Latino Media Network from Univision. The
stations were said to reach about one-third of U.S. Latinos. The deal
was $60 million, all cash, according to the network.

The network, which did not respond to a request for comment, said its
funding came from “leading Latino investors” and Lakestar Finance LLC,
an investment entity affiliated with the Soros Fund Management, one of
the many entities owned or linked to Soros.

‘Relevant Content’

Jess Morales Rocketto, one of the network’s founders, said in a
statement that the group “hope[s] to create relevant content for radio
and other audio platforms with content that our community can trust
and rely on” and “is going to ensure that the Latino community
continues to be served with the news and information that local
communities deserve.”

The transition to the new ownership will not happen until the Federal
Communications Commission approves the deal. The network said the deal is
expected to finalize in quarter four of 2023. The network also said it
intended to retain employees who work at the stations.

Americano Media bills itself as the nation's first national conservative
Hispanic network in Spanish. It launched in March and broadcasts on Sirius
XM, GETTR, and applications, with plans to launch on television soon.

CEO Ivan Garcia Hidalgo said during the briefing that the purchase of
Mambi "indicated to us that the Left is trying to silence truth and the
conservative narrative, and we offered an opportunity to these great hosts
and talent to come to Americano and continue their work."

"These individuals make up a powerful team that has fled from what will
become a voice of oppression and disinformation, to come join a strong
network of Hispanics that care deeply about their communities," he added.

Brazilian journalist Paulo Figueiredo was among others sounding the alarm,
telling EpochTV's "Crossroads" that the Latino Media Network move stemmed
from a desire to get Hispanics voting for Democrats again, as more and
more have shifted to Republicans in recent elections.
