Spanish-language radio broadcaster cha-cha-chás through bankruptcy with a prepack
On May 11, 2026, Miami-based Spanish Broadcasting System Inc. and 54 affiliates (collectively, the “debtors”) filed prepackaged chapter 11 bankruptcy cases in the District of Delaware (Judge Shannon). The debtors own seventeen radio stations in NYC, LA, Miami, Chicago, Houston, SF, Orlando, Tampa, and Puerrrrrrrto Rico, focusing on — if you couldn’t tell by the name of the business — the Hispanic market.
They also dabble in a national radio platform, a network TV operation (OTA, cable, and satellite), a digital app because everyone has one in ‘26, the talent-discovery app HitzMaker, aaaaaaaand produce live concerts and events and provide digital marketing.
😮💨, that’s a lot of fingers in a lot of pies.
