Audacy flips all-Sports WAXY-AM (790 The Ticket)/Miami to "Radio Libre," effective October 3. The new Spanish Conservative Talk station is in partnership with Americano Media, the nation's first national conservative Hispanic network in Spanish. The station will feature Americano Media's talent, which includes former Radio Mambi hosts Nelson Rubio, Dania Alexandrino and Lourdes Ubieta.

"We're proud to introduce Spanish radio to our South Florida portfolio for the first time ever and empower the voice of so many of our neighbors in this community," said Audacy Regional President and Market Manager Claudia Menegus. "With the launch of this station, we aim to not only serve our listeners but give them a reliable home for the news they seek and the information they rely on every day."

"The joint endeavor with Audacy is a natural fit for Americano," added Americano Media Founder and Chief Executive Ivan Garcia-Hidalgo. "We provide the best Hispanic News/Talk programming in Spanish, with the best hosts covering important current events, and Audacy's audience is demanding that information. This is the first of many terrestrial radio syndication agreements for Americano, and we look forward to a strong partnership with Audacy."

Americano Media produces 18 hours of original programming each week day, with diverse Spanish-speaking hosts from 6am to midnight.
