History

Orlando Salazar, who founded Voz Media in 2022 and is its CEO, is also a commercial real estate developer and beef company owner.[1] He was vice chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly as of 2023, according to his Facebook page.[1] He has described Voz Media's content as "right-of-center".[1][2] According to The Dallas Morning News, Voz Media aims to become a conservative rival to the dominant Spanish-language channels Univision and Telemundo.[1] Voz Media contributors include members of conservative Hispanic groups, former officials who served in Donald Trump's presidency, and members of the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump think tank.[1]

In February 2023, Voz Media announced it would buy Mega TV, the Spanish Broadcasting System's (SBS) network television operation, for $64 million, but SBS declared the deal terminated in September 2023 and said it would try to sell Mega TV to other buyers.[1][4][2][3][5][6] The deal, if it had been completed, would have quadrupled Voz's workforce and included Mega TV real estate in Florida and Puerto Rico.[1][3][4][2][7]

As of 2023, Voz Media had offices and studios in the Dallas area, Miami, and Madrid.[4]
