But will “Radio Soros” be a commercial and political success, though? Hard to tell.
The former Univision America launched and folded at a time when Hispanics trusted their media institutions and the sitting Democrat president enjoyed the support of over 70% of Hispanics. This is not that time, and Joe Biden’s Hispanic support is nearly inverted in comparison to that of Barack Obama. Furthermore, “Radio Soros” can’t fill shelves with baby formula, bring gas prices down to $2/gallon, fix the border crisis or reduce crime in the cities.
In sum, the move appears to be primarily fueled by panic over Democrats’ continued loss of influence over the Hispanic vote ahead of the 2024 presidential election. This is a significant development inasmuch as it lays a marker down, but not one that is permanently transformative or even a game-changer, given the left's current existing near-monopoly on Spanish-language media. One does not imagine that this venture will successfully wokeshame folks along the Rio Grande Valley into changing their existing voting patterns, or that the potential shuttering of the Cuban-American flagship radio station will go unanswered. Time will tell as to what the conservative countermove looks like, or whether one is even made.

Remember the "Air America" effort to create a liberal radio network that was supposed to destroy Rush Limbaugh? How did that work out for them?
“Conservative response should be to supply quality, decent entertainment, and simple, clear, factual news.”
All that, but in Spanish. That’s always been the sticking point. The large majority of US “Hispanics” understand English and stick to English language media, but there is a large minority that don’t, all those abuelitas looking for their telenovelas, among 1st Gen arrivals.
As if Univision wasn’t bad enough already???
People either stream music or listen to podcasts.
I bet the "proles" still listen to it. Lowest Common Denominator.
Me either
Of course in Spanish. I thought that was what we were talking about.
Confiscate his filthy lucre and take him, his offspring and his grandchildren out with a drone.
When is Soros going to die?
Pretty soon, here’s hoping.
He, and people allied to him, mean this country ill.
It looks like the communists are finally desperate enough to show whom they really are. They seem to be hoping that this approach will get Hispanics fired up for Free Shiite.
It won’t work.
They say “allegations of sexual impropriety”. And yet one wonders how that falls on the grand scale of leftist deviancy.
Ha! That’s usually a resumé benefit!!
