MediaCo Holding Inc. reported a 17.9% increase in fourth quarter revenue, driven by continued digital growth and contributions from its Estrella Media acquisition, while posting a wider net loss for the period.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, revenue rose to $38.7 million, up from $32.8 million a year earlier. Digital revenue accounted for 53.5% of advertising sales. However, the company reported a net loss of $32.3 million, compared to a $4.2 million loss in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA fell to a loss of $3.7 million from positive $1.7 million a year ago.

For the full year, revenue increased 39.5% to $133.3 million, reflecting the addition of Estrella Media assets and gains in digital revenue. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $7.3 million from a $1.6 million loss in 2024. Net loss widened to $66.2 million, largely due to non-cash items including impairment charges and changes in warrant liabilities.

CEO Albert Rodriguez said the company's first full year following the Estrella acquisition produced "substantial gains" across its operations, citing revenue growth and expansion across television, radio, digital and streaming platforms.

The company also highlighted audience growth across its EstrellaTV network and radio portfolio, along with recent initiatives including the launch of Sigma Audio Networks and new programming on HOT 97.
