Raúl Alarcón is the Chairman, CEO and controlling shareholder of Spanish Broadcasting System (SBS), a publicly-traded multimedia corporation serving Latino audiences and advertisers throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Under his direction, SBS has grown from a single AM radio station in 1983 to a portfolio of media assets that include a radio division comprised of heritage FM outlets (including America’s most-listened-to Latino station, WSKQ in New York City) in the top Hispanic markets of New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco and Puerto Rico; the 100+ affiliate AIRE Radio Networks; Mega TV, a network television owner/operator with over-the-air, cable and satellite distribution; SBS Entertainment, the largest independent producer/promoter of Hispanic concerts and events; and LaMusica, a music and video streaming app catering to Hispanic millenials.
For over three decades, Mr. Alarcón has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to fostering and promoting Latino talent and artistry.
He has championed Hispanic ownership of the media and its economic parity with the general market.
