Salem Media Group has agreed to to purchase the assets of 5kW Spanish Sports WMYM-AM (990) and its translator W254DT (98.7) from Actualidad Media Group. Salem has a long history in Spanish-language broadcasting beginning in 1984 in New York with WNYM-AM, which was sold in the late 1980s and remains in the Spanish-language format today. Currently Salem owns Spanish-language outlets in KLTY-FM-HD2 (94.9) and translator 102.5 in Dallas, KTNO-AM (620) in Dallas, KRYP-FM (93.1 El Rey) in Portland, OR and KBJD-AM (1650) in Denver.
Salem Media Executive Chairman Edward Atsinger commented, "Salem is beginning a new chapter in Miami as we expand our conservative and family themed programming to the Spanish-language audience. Miami is an obvious market for this expansion, and we're excited to add great signals like WMYM-AM 990 and FM 98.7 to our portfolio."
Actualidad Media Group President Adib Eden commented, "Actualidad will continue to own and operate our other South Florida stations, WURN AM 1040, translator FM 103.9 'Actualidad Radio' (Spanish News/Talk) and WURN FM 107.1 'Exitos' (Spanish Contemporary Music) and WLVJ AM 1020. We remain committed to our audience, our advertisers, and our community."
