MVS Radio from Mexico coming to the USA?

A Spanish language radio board has a news item saying that Clear Channel and MVS, a powerful and large radio, TV, cable, web and content provider in Mexico, are doing a joint venture. I have no confirmation, but feel this is interesting.

Radionotas, September 10. After making a careful marketing study and concluding that there exist excellent posibilities for success in the US, the executives of MVS in Mexico have determind that the Hispanic community in the principal American cities can be won. The operator of formats like Exa (pop) and La Mejor (regional) has decided that in the next few weeks they will begin operating on 30 frequencies in the whole country and it is assumed this will be on frequencies of Clear Channel.

MVS Radio can definitely conquer the US.

For many incide the industry in the US, this news is already well known and nobody is surprised that it should happen, but what is still not known is how well La Mejor will do in the US, but we can predict that the results will be impressive. This is what an important Los Angeles radio executive, who asked to remain anonymous as he is an important person at a major US Hispanic company, has predicted. “ Once somebody told me that everyone who comes fromMexico believes they know all the secrets of radio, and I say honestly that this is true, because there the listeners are (seen as) flesh and blood, but here they are not because they are seen as numbers. If MVS radio comes with a well structured strategy, I am almost certain that in a few months we will see favorable results for this company, replacing the big (stations) that have earned millions thanks to the listening of the worthy listener.

With the arrival of La Mejor, radio Hill have to reinvent itself to (remain) competitive and to be as good as the well structured strategy that MVS is about to launch, said some of the radio executives who attended the RadioNotas convention recently. The arrival or creation of more Hispanic radio companies in the US will make those already here work harder to improve, reinventing ourselves for the listener, studying our potential and, overall, looking for our shortcomings so that we can continue to keep the audience (we have). We should not be afraid, but, to the contrary, be happy that we have more competition, said Pio Ferro, an executive of SBS.
 
With exiting formats like Exa FM and La Mejor,...............just wow.

So now the rumor of La Mejor 101.1 is probaly true (unless it's Exa FM 101.1).
 
heard and repeat heard that mega 101 is going to be La Passion 101. But its all good I hope they take alot of bussiness from univision. But I thought that Mexican stations cant own stations here in the US. I read one time when univision was for sale that Televisa was trying to buy univision but it was going to be hard. Because of that law.

That would be "Pasión" and not Passion... no "La" in front, either.

And I think MVS aall ready has a station in San Diego California 99.3 fm
 
I was present in LA and their was some talk of EXA soon extending to major us cities they did mention that their already is a exa in california.. but houston will not be part of this exa project! my guess is that the mega djs will be let go in the next week or so and then the pd will make the change and bring in his own team! the imaging and slogan is ready to go they just need a few last touches to the music rotation but other then that the mega morph is almost ready!

I hope the report of the name "Pasión" is true, as another company has the national service mark to this name... should be fun.

MVS has a cluster of stations in Tijuana, BCN. 99.3 is XHOCL and part of the cluster.

Pasión is Univision's service mark, so it would be a good name for a Univision station.

Yeah but thats the name I somebody told me. Well this guy who told me this is friends with the guy who told him about when Mega was about to start.
 
Hey what about SBS
Spanish Broadcasting system?? Why arent they here? I tought that guy El Cucuy was very good. So why isnt he here??
 
Well, MVS is not owning them, it's more of a partnership with Clear Channel from what I understood.
 
Maybe because they are not interested in entering the Houston Market. It's like asking why Emmis is not in Houston.

If I am not mistaking, El Cucuy was taken off from Houston.

Oh I dont remember that. But back to that other subject is that MVS coming to houston?

Cucuy is down to about 5th of all the Spanish stations in LA... after La Nueva, KLVE, KBUE an KRCD in the morning. It's over.
