Raul Alarcon Sr., founder and Director Emeritus of Spanish Broadcasting System, has died.
Alarcon, a pioneer in Spanish-language broadcasting, left Cuba, and the radio company he had founded there, following Fidel Castro’s rise to power. He re-established his radio career in the United States, and in 1983, he purchased his first radio station.
Spanish-language radio broadcasters Spanish Broadcasting System, Entravision Communications Corporation, Univision Communications and Border Media Partners have formed an industry-focused committee to voice concerns about Arbitron’s proposed rollout of the Portable People Meter (PPM) and the potentially harmful impact it could have on the Hispanic marketplace. The newly created group has been named the Spanish Radio Association (“SRA”).
