"Jorge's winning attitude and track record of success makes him the perfect person to lead our multi-cultural sales effort with a focus on Rumba 106.5 and Accion 1250 & 105.9."

"I have worked alongside Jorge Lopez for over 6 years now, and I can say that he is a dynamic, savvy, ethical, hard-working leader in the truest sense of the word," added Senior VP for Hispanic Strategy Hector Marcano. "He has the ability to do things quickly and motivate others to do the same. We look forward to further milestones in the very near future."

"I've been with iHeartMedia for more than 6 years and I think it's great to have this distinguished opportunity where I contribute with my experience and skills to the expansion and growth of the brand. With the continuing growth of the Hispanic population in Florida it is very important that we serve our community with an authentic voice and a compelling product."
