Actually, "Live Nation" was created when the spinoff happened ... ten years ago. It was simply known as "Clear Channel Entertainment" before that.

David,
You seem to appear with your anti rock rants every time there is a thread about a rock station in a hispanic dominant market.
You come bearing obvious, but lame, demographic percentages,
Even if there are 35 existing spanish speaking stations, you are out to discredit the one rock station trying to make it.
Why don't you go to a Los Lobos or Paladins show, and tell those artists how you think they are going down the wrong path

There is nothing "anti-rock" about stating that in many markets today the ethnic composition of the audience makes it a hard go financially for most rock genres.
There is nothing "lame" about showing the percentages of African Americans and Hispanics in such an argument since those groups underindex in usage of rock formats.
While I don't know what "35 orhe" means, I will guess that you mean that there are "35 other stations" to do whatever in the market. The issue here is not the "other" stations but whether a rock format can generate enough listening to be attractive to advertisers. In recent decades, save for classic rock, this has not been the case.
It's really not even about the music. It's about the economics of owning a station.
There are not 35 Spanish language stations to begin with, and that is not the point. Again it is whether a rock station can get enough listening to be attractive and effective for advertisers.
I don't know what Los Lobos has to do with it. That's a band that gets the majority of its fans from non-Hispanics and, in fact, is just about totally unknown in Latin America.
You guys are speaking different languages (unintentionally).
One is coming at this as a fan of a particular genre of music, the other as a business owner.
If money was no object, and a station made the same income regardless of genre, then rock might be more successful.
Unfortunately, that's not the case here. Radio stations do not pick format based on their own personal taste.
