From Tony Reflex of the Adolescents:

INDIE (corp) WE LOVE YOU!
AND HBC, CLEAR CHANNEL, ENTRAVISION, and UNIVISION!!!!
We aren't telling any one what to think. We encourage dialogue and research.
same tools, same ideas, same interest groups, different name on the letterhead......
keep in mind we get mail insisting absolutely NO AFFILIATION WITH CC
GO FOR IT.
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO FIND THE LINKS, POST THEM ON OUR BLOG, AND CONTINUE THIS DIALOGUE WITH "Indie" (corp)
if i call it a burger, but you call it a beef patty- is it the same thing?
Here's what we found: These are direct quotes from the sources below.
QUOTE:
Univision, which owns 53 television stations around the
country, is seeking approval from the Federal
Communications Commission to add more than 60 radio
stations to its properties by merging with the Hispanic
Broadcasting Corporation of Dallas, whose biggest
shareholder is the radio giant Clear Channel
Communications. Univision officials said the move
would help them compete more evenly with big Englishlanguage
media companies like Viacom Inc. and Disney
for ad dollars.
from 2002. yes. old news. yes, we know.
QUOTE:
Already a substantial media group, Los Angeles's Univision owns the Univision and TeleFutura television networks as well as 50 television stations, Galavision cable network, Univision Music Group and Univision Online.
"Univision's entrance into [the radio] business will provide us with revenue enhancement and earnings diversification as well as significant growth opportunities through coordinated sales and promotional efforts," said A. Jerrold Perenchio, Univision's chairman and chief executive. "In addition, Hispanic Broadcasting has essentially no debt, which will strengthen Univision's balance sheet."

FROM 2003:
In Washington, a Univision affiliate, WMDO, Channel 30, in Silver Spring, is owned by Entravision Communications Corp., a Santa Monica, Calif.-based media company in which Univision owns a stake. Hispanic Broadcasting owns no radio stations in the region.
Hispanic Broadcasting already is part of a huge media conglomerate: 26 percent of its stock is owned by Clear Channel Communications Inc., the nation's largest radio chain with more than 1,200 stations. Clear Channel will own about 7 percent of the combined company.

FROM 2004
Clear Channel Communications Inc., which is based in San Antonio, owns six radio stations as well as the NBC television affiliate in the city. Clear Channel also owns a small piece (about 4 percent) of Univision by virtue of Univision's controversial merger with Hispanic Broadcasting Corp.

2006. things to come?
Entravision, which owns more than 50 Spanish language radio stations, a billboard business and TV stations that are affiliated with the Univision network, could be an interesting acquisition target for whoever winds up purchasing Univision, said Marla Backer, an analyst with Soleil – Research Associates.
"It is interesting since Entravision accounts for about 25 percent of the distribution of Univision. I'm not sure if there is a compelling need for someone to buy them now, but it could be an interesting tuck-in deal for whatever party buys Univision," she said.
However, antitrust concerns could put a snag on such a deal. Univision actually just sold a portion of its Entravision stake back to the company as part of an agreement struck with the Department of Justice after Univision bought Hispanic Broadcasting Corp., an Entravision competitor, in 2003.
With that in mind, Philip Remek, an analyst with Guzman & Co., said that a more likely candidate to take a look at Entravision would be radio giant Clear Channel Communications.
