CHANGE (IT BACK): Newsmax Buys Historic Miami Anti-Communist Radio Station from Soros-Linked Network.
Radio industry outlets reported this weekend, and the Newsmax network confirmed on Monday, that Newsmax Radio LLC purchased two major Miami radio stations — WAQI Radio Mambí and WQBA — from Latino Media Network, an organization with ties to left-wing political entities whose purchase of the historic anti-communist stations caused an uproar in 2022.
Both radio stations had for decades broadcast anti-communist talk radio programs for the local Hispanophone listenership, which is a plurality Cuban and Cuban-American. Radio Mambí in particular was known for hosting popular conservative radio personalities and giving a platform to conservative and anti-communist ideas. Organizations advocating for freedom for Cuba from its communist dictatorship heralded Radio Mambí in 2022 as a critical pillar of the Miami community’s political ecosystem and expressed concern that its takeover by an organization with left-wing associations would dilute, or potentially silence, those voices.
More anticommunism, please.
