Julio Aponte

Sun Broadcast Group inks a multi-year extension with Chief Operating Officer (COO) Julio Aponte. Under the agreement Aponte will continue to head the daily operations of Sun's New York City and Boca Raton offices as well as oversee the company's sales department. He joined Sun in early 2013 as the company's Director of Hispanic Sales and was promoted to Senior VP of Hispanic Initiatives where he helped launch the Sun Latino Network. In 2014 Sun elevated Aponte again to serve as its COO.

"The stories I could share about the ride Julio and I have been on," said Sun Broadcast Group CEO Jason Bailey. "I know everyone says they work with the best people, but Julio and I have truly become amazing friends during our time together. We've shared some of the highest of highs during our growth and, like others in this industry, we've been through the lowest of lows. Today as we continue our journey with the dozens of people here at Sun who put up with our craziness all day, I can honestly say I could never imagine anyone else by my side but my friend, my brother, the mayor of everywhere... Julio Aponte."

"I am honored to renew my vows with Sun Broadcast Group," added Aponte. "This is a testament to my believe that the vision and passion I saw in Jay Bailey, the day we met, as an industry visionary, is still alive today and stronger than ever. I thank my family here at Sun and our amazing partners for standing with me over the years. The best is yet to come for the radio industry and for Sun."
