Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (SBS), a company that owns and operates radio stations located in major U.S. Hispanic markets, has sold the rights to its Latino television network  MegatTV to the renowned Voz Media, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, but also with offices in Madrid, Spain, and Miami, Florida.

Raúl Alarcón, chairman and CEO of SBS, stated:

I am very proud of the nearly two decades of award-winning programming, community dedication, and industry accomplishments achieved by Mega TV, a network operation that succeeded in forging its own unique position among Hispanic viewers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

MegaTV, with affiliates in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, is a network television operation with over-the-air, cable and satellite distribution that produces a national lineup of concerts and live events.

It also owns a number of digital properties, including LaMusica, a mobile app that provides audio streaming and video content focused on Latinos, and HitzMaker, a new talent destination for aspiring artists.

“I am especially pleased to leave this unique asset in the hands of a dedicated Hispanic owner, Orlando Salazar, the founder of Voz Media, who will continue the expansion of MegaTV and the overriding commitment to faithfully serve our nation's burgeoning Latino population,” added Alarcón.
