"The leading Spanish-language radio broadcasters in the U.S., including Spanish Broadcasting System (Nasdaq: SBSA), Entravision Communications Corporation (EVC), Univision Communications Inc. and Border Media Partners, have formed an industry-focused coalition to voice concerns about Arbitron’s proposed rollout of the flawed Portable People Meter (PPM) and the potentially harmful impact it could have in the industry as it relates to measuring Spanish-language media. The newly created group has been named the Spanish Radio Association ("SRA").

The group held a meeting with Arbitron on June 6, 2008 during which they advocated the importance of properly evaluating the Hispanic audience measurement capabilities and effectiveness of Arbitron’s PPM before its full-scale implementation."

The Final Say: Tom Castro

Tomas — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 16:36:53 +0000

"Learning that those who have the gold make the rules didn't poison an idealistic Tom Castro as he applied his Harvard degree in international relations as a Senate aide. It just made the scholarship student from the Watts neighborhood in Los Angeles realize that he could do more good as a capitalist than a wonk. He focused on creating and then selling radio chains. His latest, 37-station Border Media Partners, founded in 2003, is the largest privately owned Hispanic-focused radio company in the country – and the best capitalized Hispanic startup company in history, having raised more than $275 million in its first 30 months.
