Radio Caracol is one of Miami s rare moderate Spanish-language stations. Democrats fear a new owner will use it to broadcast more right-wing disinformation.
Radio Caracol, 1260 on the AM dial, has long been a staple of Spanish-language radio in Miami. This month, Caracol is being sold to a Hialeah-based media company called América CV, which also owns a Spanish-language TV station in Hialeah, América TeVé, Channel 41.
In years past, that radio sale might not have turned heads. But as it’s being finalized, Caracol has booted former Hialeah Mayor Raul Martinez and his popular, four-hour daily talk show La Hora del Regreso (Afternoon Rush Hour) from the airwaves.
