Conservative radio star Lourdes Ubieta has quit Miami’s iconic, Spanish-language conservative talk station Radio Mambi ahead of a planned takeover by a George Soros-linked liberal group and will move to upstart Americano Media on a full-time basis.
Radio Mambi, which is historically linked to the Cuban exile community and offers an anti-communism view, would be controlled by a group of liberals partially funded by Soros, a far-left billionaire, if the $60 million deal is approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
“I would never cut a deal with these people,” Ubieta told Fox News Digital. “Never, never, never.”
Latino Media Network, a new network set to be made up of 18 Hispanic radio stations including Radio Mambi, was partially financed by Lakestar Finance, an investment group affiliated with Soros Fund Management. The stations, currently owned by Univision, would be controlled by Jess Morales Rocketto, a former Hillary for America and AFL-CIO employee, and Stephanie Valencia, a former Obama White House staffer, if the venture receives FCC approval.
