The Cuban-American Concern Over Radio Mambi Purchase by Soros-Tied Democrats

Radio Mambi distanced and differentiated itself from other Spanish-language media in Florida. However, today this historic radio station, according to Cuban exile voices, is in danger of being silenced

FOR MORE THAN three decades Radio Mambi has established itself as one of the most listened to radio stations in all of Miami. With its admirers and detractors, Mambi became a myth of Miami culture, establishing itself as the leading voice of the Cuban American community.

Latino Media Network is a media startup that a couple of days ago announced the historic raising of $80 million to break into the country’s radio industry, focusing on the Latino audience.

Its first big move was to acquire, for $60 million, 18 radio stations belonging to the Televisa-Univision conglomerate. One of them is Radio Mambi.

According to the group’s announcement, the 18 stations are distributed among ten cities — Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Houston, Chicago, Dallas, San Antonio, McAllen, Fresno and Las Vegas — and would thus have a direct reach to 33% of American Hispanics.

It is also the only one that has received threats from Democratic politicians, as well as raised the alarm on various traditional media outlets. The rest of the stations, for the most part, are dedicated to music, entertainment or sports, Axios reported.

Concerns about the purchase arise because of who is behind Latino Media Network: personalities, activists and companies linked to the Democratic Party and progressive organizations.
