    Weekly survey offers exclusive, real-time data on Latino voter priorities ahead of November election

    SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
    Entravision, in partnership with AltaMed Health Services and BSP Research, announces the launch of the 2024 National Latino Tracking Poll, beginning September 11, 2024. This timely initiative will provide critical insights into the political perspectives and engagement of Latino voters as the November election approaches.

    “Entravision is committed to amplifying the voices of the Latino community, and this poll is an essential tool for understanding the political landscape as it relates to Latino voters,” said Michael Christenson, CEO of Entravision. “By partnering with AltaMed and BSP Research, we are offering a unique resource for candidates, organizations, media, and voters to see how key issues and candidates resonate with Latino voters.”

    “At AltaMed, we recognize that healthcare and civic engagement are deeply intertwined, especially within the Latino community. We understand that access to healthcare and social determinants of health are linked to policy, politics, and elections and that’s why we launched our
    My Vote. My Health.
    initiative,” said Cástulo de la Rocha, President and CEO of AltaMed. “Nearly 80% of the patients we serve are Latino and our partnership allows us to hear from our community in real time, and ensure that policy makers and candidates address the healthcare and social determinant issues that are most important to Latinos.”

    My Vote. My Health. was launched by AltaMed to mobilize patients, families, and residents in their Southern California service areas to address the social and political determinants of health. My Vote. My Health. partners with other community healthcare providers and local civic engagement organizations to help increase Latino civic participation to improve the quality of life of underserved and underrepresented communities.

    As the only weekly national poll focused specifically on Latino voters, the survey will track the opinions of 500 registered Latino voters each week over an 8-week period, ending right before the November election. Participants will be asked about a range of political topics, including voting intentions, key issue support or opposition, healthcare concerns, and candidate favorability in both presidential and senate races. Each survey will include approximately 45 questions.

    The first set of results will be released on
    September 18, 2024
    , with weekly updates every Monday thereafter continuing through Election Day. This poll will offer a real-time view of the issues and candidates most important to Latino voters.

  • Entrevista con Héctor Guerrero: componiendo en el futuro

    Entrevista con Héctor Guerrero: componiendo en el futuro

    ¿Cómo se sentirá escribir canciones para Becky G, Oscar Maydon o Los Tigres del Norte? Que Grupo Firme te pida una rola ardida o que Gerardo Ortiz te hable sobre su próximo single. La vida de Héctor Guerrero gira entorno a la pluma, las emociones y la magia… pocos tienen el don de transmitir lo que el corazón siente.

    Y es que en una industria musical como la de México, en la que tienes que ser amigo de todos para crecer, tiene especial merito sobresalir por el talento.

    Héctor ya sabía que sus letras eran buenas. Sus amigos, su familia e incluso su novia lo alentaban a compartir su trabajo con el mundo. Un buen día se animó, escribió un mensaje a Rancho Humilde, disquera que lanzó a artistas como Natanael Cano, Junior H y Fuerza Regida, y el resto es historia.

    De a poco se fue volviendo uno de los compositores más solicitados y empezó a codearse con los número uno. Hoy es autor de muchos de tus temas favoritos y su carrera va en acenso.

    Si te gusta lo nuevo de Los Tigres del Norte, estás escuchando un tema escrito por Héctor. Si eres fan de Becky G y te sabes alguna de sus canciones, te aprendiste una canción escrita por él.

    Checa la plática completa y disfruta de la dinámica con el compositor mexicano que está escribiendo en el futuro.

    ¿Cómo fue crecer entre México y Estados Unidos y qué tipo de choque cultural enfrentaste?

    Yo llegué acá a los Estados Unidos a los 11 años. Vine a conocer cosas que en Culiacán no se nos daban y creo que como niño fue duro dejar a la familia. De crecer con mis primos, con mis tíos, mis tías. Yo siempre fui muy cercano a toda mi familia, entonces cuando se hace la transición para acá, el golpe más fuerte fue pensar que no los volvería a ver.

    Definitivamente funcionó de la mejor manera. Gracias a Dios tuve la oportunidad de regresar unos años después a mi tierra que es Culiacán y fue muy bonito volvernos a reunir, platicar de todo lo que pasó en estos años y también llevar ese orgullo a casa que es lo que estamos logrando en la música.

    Y en cuanto a la música, ¿escuchabas una cosa en México y luego otra cosa allá?

    Musicalmente creo que siempre he traído el gusto bien arraigado. De toda la vida he escuchado a Los Canelos de Durango, Los Tigres del Norte o El Potro de Sinaloa. Me tocó de hecho entablar escenarios con algunos de ellos. No soy de escuchar lo que se está escuchando solo porque toda la gente lo está escuchando, yo escucho lo que a mí me gusta en el momento. Depende también cómo uno se va sintiendo. Si ando muy tristón, pues ahí anda uno escuchando canciones que lo ponen más triste  en lugar de escuchar algo alegre. Nunca me he guiado por lo que escuchan las personas ni lo haré.

    Pero estabas bien chico, me estás hablando de que te fuiste para allá desde pequeño y comentas que desde que estabas acá, ya estabas haciendo proyectos con artistas.

    Mira a los siete años me nació el gusto por la música. Escuché una canción con guitarra y me llamó la atención aprender ese instrumento, Mi padre con esfuerzo y todo me compró una guitarra de Paracho ahí en el centro de Culiacán, lo más básico que podías encontrar, me sacaban callo porque estaba la cuerda bien separada del cuello de la guitarra, pero aprendí con eso. Fui a una escuela de música, poco tiempo, pero lo poco que aprendí lo seguí desarrollando en casa y ahí entre la familia poco a poco se empezó a correr la voz de que “mi hijo toca la guitarra y canta”, y cualquier fiestecita del primo que del tío, “tráigase la guitarra y cante”, una cosa me fue llevando a la otra y cuando menos pensé ya estaba ganando dinero con esto.

    ¿Recuerdas cuál fue la primera canción que escribiste?

    La primera vez que yo escribí algo fue a los 14 años, de hecho aquí tengo el disco mira…

    Este es mi primer disco como solista. Se llama ‘Corridos Pa’ La Clika’ y es un disco de 10 corridos que hice cuando estaba el movimiento de los alterados. Es donde me di cuenta que también traía eso dentro de mí, la composición. Antes de eso ni por la mente me pasaba.

    ¿Cómo es tu proceso para componer canciones para otros artistas? ¿Te pones un poco en sus zapatos  o cómo nace esa magia?

    Me gusta mucho estudiar al artista. Cuando un artista me gusta, no le mando temas de inmediato aunque se me presente la oportunidad. prefiero hacer amistad con ellos, además a la mayoría los conozco solo por Zoom, no los conozco en persona porque se la llevan de arriba para abajo. Hemos coincido con algunos en los premios o eventos a los que me invitan, pero prefiero darles su espacio. Eso sí, por videollamada o mensajes siempre intento estar activo con ellos, transmitirles que no solo estoy aquí para hacer los temas si no para hacer amistad. ‘Si me ocupas llamar, tener un plática de lo que sea, si te puedo ayudar en algo aquí estamos’.

    Eso me ha abierto la confianza con ellos para que cuando llega el momento de trabajar, yo ya los conozco y sé lo que buscan;  de hecho me ha tocado meterle letra a temas, unos corridos hace poco, y lo hice en la manera en la que el artista habla, uso palabras que son parte de su vocabulario. Es una estrategia entre comillas, lo hago simplemente porque esa es mi persona, así soy, no me gusta exprimir a la gente, para nada, quiero considerarlos mis amigos.

    ¿Qué pasa cuando ya tienes una canción, cuál es el siguiente paso para conectar con un artista?

    Curiosamente a mí se me dio esto de la composición totalmente distinto que a otros colegas. Me han platicado que ellos pasaron cinco años de que componían y les grabaron su primera canción después de cinco, ocho años, de hecho me han contado historias de que 10 años, imagínate 10 años componiendo y no te graban nada.

    En mi primera canción que es la que estás mirando aquí, ‘No Te Pido Mucho’, que fue la primera canción romántica que escribí, se la canté a mi esposa y le gustó y me dijo ‘¿sabes qué?, la canción no está fea, es una canción bien hecha, hay que buscar en internet para ver qué se puede hacer con ella’. Te estoy hablando del 2016, hace ocho años, en ese entonces yo desconocía el mundo de la composición, no sabía si te pagaban por componer, si vendías las canciones, lo que es la palabra regalía yo la desconocía por completo, pero por ahí indagando en internet en Instagram, mi esposa se topó con la página de Rancho Humilde, que es la compañía de Jimmy Humilde, un gran amigo mío. En ese entonces tenían por ahí el correo electrónico y un número de teléfono de la compañía entonces mando un mensaje a ese teléfono y da la casualidad que era el WhatsApp de Jimmy Humilde.

    Me contesta, pero fíjate pasaron siete días, pasó una semana de que yo me presenté, le mandé la canción y a la semana me llega un WhatsApp diciéndome, ‘sabes qué, la canción está muy buena la escuchó Alta Consigna’, Alta Consigna estaba en su mero momento en ese entonces con la canción número uno, y me dice ‘la van a grabar ellos’ y yo así de ‘wow’, yo los escuchaba todos los días trabajando.

    Después de esa canción, yo no tuve que estar enviando canciones a otras compañías, esa misma canción como fue tan popular, me dio para que otros artistas me contactaran, Escuchaban la rola y veían los créditos y me contactaban por Instagram. Por ejemplo me llegó Legado 7 y ellos me contactaron con Enigma Norteño y ellos con Gerardo Ortiz. Hasta ahorita te podría decir que cada artista me ha ido recomendando con otro y eso se siente muy padre porque me hace creer que estoy haciendo un buen trabajo.

    Es un sueño tener un número uno pero ya que pasó, ya que lo tienes, ¿Qué te dicen los artistas por ejemplo Los Tigres del Norte?

    A mí me dieron la noticia a las nueve de la mañana este martes y yo me levanto y veo que está en todos lados y me meto a WhatsApp, veo que tengo mensajes de parte de Los Tigres del Norte, del Señor Hernán, de mi amigo Luis, de las personas de la compañía, de Diego Montalvo, yo estaba sin palabras, estaba en el teléfono sin saber qué decir, porque una semana antes ya habíamos llegado al número uno con ‘Mercede’ de Becky G y Oscar Maydon, así que imagínate. No se me pasaba la emoción de una cuando ya había llegado la otra.

    ¿Qué piensas de que hay muchas personas que creen que los artistas deberían escribir sus propias canciones?

    Yo creo que el artista se debe enfocar en ser artista y en no perder esa esencia. Me ha tocado ver carreras en las que el artista se enfoca en ser el compositor, el artista, el manager, el director de video y empiezan a bajar su calidad musical y se refleja en los números, en las vistas y en la popularidad. Creo que es muy importante el trabajo en equipo, si estoy en un equipo de fútbol, no me puedo enfocar en ser el defensa, el mediocampista y el que mete el gol porque imagínate voy a acabar agotado.

    Cuando yo comparto sesiones con los artistas, ellos agregan mucho porque ellos te dicen literalmente lo que quieren interpretar. Me han dicho, ‘traigo una idea pero no sé cómo desarrollarla’, entonces llega el compositor y como yo estoy completamente enfocado en desarrollar esa idea, no estoy pensando en un show, en una fiesta privada, en que tengo un video que grabar o una entrevista que dar, llego yo con la mente relajada y la desarrollo.

    Es muy importante que el artista se enfoque en ser artista y deje el resto al equipo.

  • Entravision Reveals Crucial Latino Voter Insights in Nevada and South Texas Ahead of the 2024 Elections

    Entravision Reveals Crucial Latino Voter Insights in Nevada and South Texas Ahead of the 2024 Elections

    Latino voters are highly engaged but face an information gap, according to a recent survey

    SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
    As the United States approaches a pivotal election day, Entravision is taking the lead in empowering and mobilizing the Latino electorate. In collaboration with BSP Research, Entravision conducted a comprehensive survey of Latino registered voters to uncover the priorities, concerns and voting factors of Latino voters in key battleground regions, including Nevada and South Texas.

    Latino voters in Nevada and South Texas are poised to make a significant impact, with an overwhelming majority planning to go to the polls on November 5th. However, the study reveals a strong demand for more information about the candidates and their platforms. The poll surveyed 800 Latino Registered Voters—400 from Nevada and 400 from South Texas which include the cities of Harlingen-Weslaco-Brownsville-McAllen, Corpus Christi, and Laredo. The margin of error for both regions is +/- 4.9%. Conducted online between July 24 and August 6, 2024, the survey was offered in both English and Spanish and followed the withdrawal of President Joe Biden from the Presidential race.

    “Our findings underscore the undeniable influence of Latino voters in this election cycle,” said Michael Christenson, CEO of Entravision. “Latino voters are not just participants; they are key decision-makers whose voices will shape the future of this country. We are proud to provide critical insights that will guide campaigns in engaging, connecting and messaging to the powerful Latino community.”

    Key Findings from the Entravision-BSP Research Poll:


    1. Latino Voters are Engaged and Ready to Vote

    • Latino voters are highly engaged, with 62% stating they are “almost certain” to vote in November and nearly 80% indicating they probably or almost certainly will vote. This strong engagement is consistent among high Spanish-language media users and those in Spanish-speaking households.


    2. A Hunger for Information

    • Despite their eagerness to participate, more than half of Latino voters feel they lack sufficient information to make informed choices for the Presidential or Senate elections. Voters are receptive to campaign messaging, with 50% reporting that an advertisement influenced their view of a candidate, and 66% seeking additional information after exposure to campaign ads.

    • Notably, 28% of Latino voters rely on Spanish-language TV or radio for crucial information, with 67% watching Spanish entertainment programming on TV and 73% listening to Spanish music.

    Presidential Candidates:


    3. Head-to-Head Matchups

    • In Nevada, Harris leads Trump by 18 points (53% to 35%), and in South Texas, by 13 points (50% to 37%).

    • However, only 28% of Latino voters feel “very well informed” about Harris’ policy agenda, compared to 36% for Trump.

    Senate Candidates:


    4. Nevada: Jacky Rosen vs Sam Brown

    • Incumbent Senator Jacky Rosen holds a comfortable 30-point lead over challenger Sam Brown (53% to 22%) in a head-to-head match-up, though a quarter of Latino voters remain undecided. Rosen’s favorability (45%) outpaces Brown’s (27%). Additionally, Brown has room to grow with his base, as 23% of Nevada Latino Republicans are still
      completely undecided.


    5. S. Texas: Colin Allred vs Ted Cruz

    • Congressman Colin Allred leads Senator Ted Cruz by 19 points among Latino voters in South Texas (48% to 29%), with significant undecideds. Nearly half (48%) of Latino voters in South Texas have yet to form an opinion about him (Allred) or have no opinion at all.

    “These results reflect a profound engagement among Latino voters, who are not only eager to participate but are demanding the information they need to make informed decisions,” said Dr. Gary Segura, Co-Founder at BSP Research. “This data is crucial for campaigns looking to connect with Latino voters, particularly through Spanish-language media, which continues to be a trusted source of information.”

    As the 2024 election day draws closer, the significance of the Latino vote cannot be overstated. Entravision and BSP Research are dedicated to ensuring that the voices of Latino voters are at the center of the national dialogue. Through this proprietary research and our media platforms, Entravision will continue to empower Latinos to help them make informed choices that reflect their values and aspirations.

    As a result of the communication from Meta on March 4, 2024, that it intended to wind down its Authorized Sales Partners (“ASP”) program globally and end its relationship with all of its ASPs, including us, by July 1, 2024, we conducted a thorough review of our digital strategy, operations and cost structure, and during the second quarter of 2024 made the decision to dispose of the operations of EGP, our digital commercial partnerships business. The disposition of EGP will allow us to enhance our strategic focus on our media business and our advertising technology business. The results of the EGP business are reported as discontinued operations in our financial statements.

    Quarterly Cash Dividend

    The Company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share on the Company’s Class A and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of $4.5 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on September 30, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2024. The Company currently anticipates that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis; however, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to approval by the Board.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. These non-GAAP financial measures include Consolidated EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each of these non-GAAP financial measures, and a table reconciling each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included beginning on page 8.


    Consolidated EBITDA

    We use the term “consolidated EBITDA” because that term is defined in our 2023 Credit Agreement. Under the terms of our 2023 Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA is a measure that governs several critical aspects of our 2023 Credit Facility, including, among other things, financial covenants with which we must comply and financial ratios which we must maintain in order to borrow funds needed for the operation of our business and with respect to the interest rates that we pay on our 2023 Credit Facility. For example, our 2023 Credit Agreement contains a total net leverage ratio financial covenant. The total net leverage ratio, or the ratio of consolidated total debt (net of up to $50.0 million of unrestricted cash) to trailing-twelve-month consolidated EBITDA, affects both our ability to borrow from our Revolving Credit Facility and our applicable margin for the interest rate calculation. Under our 2023 Credit Agreement, our maximum total leverage ratio may not exceed 3.25 to 1.00. In addition, our 2023 Credit Agreement contains an interest coverage ratio financial covenant (calculated as set forth in the 2023 Credit Agreement), with a minimum permitted ratio of 3.00 to 1.00.

    Therefore, we believe that it is important to disclose consolidated EBITDA to our investors to understand our compliance with these, and certain other, terms of our 2023 Credit Agreement. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance and liquidity prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as operating income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities. Consolidated EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important financial line items as noted above. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.

    We calculate Consolidated EBITDA as net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, net interest expense, other operating gain (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses, syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments, revenue from the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, spectrum incentive auction less related expenses, expenses associated with investments, change in fair value of contingent consideration, non-recurring cash severance and restructuring charge, EBITDA attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest, acquisitions and dispositions and certain pro-forma cost savings.


    Free Cash Flow

    We use the term free cash flow as a measure of our liquidity and we believe that it is a useful indicator for potential investors of our ability to implement growth strategies and service our debt. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, information contained in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

    We calculate free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.

    Balance Sheet and Related Metrics

Net of total cash and marketable securities, total leverage was 2.2 times.

    Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in our 2023 Credit Agreement was $10.5 million and $15.0 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024.

This extension marks a significant milestone, celebrating a decade of collaboration between the two organizations and securing the partnership through the 2026-2027 NFL season.

    This expanded partnership aims to deepen engagement and foster greater affinity for the sport among Latino communities across the U.S., where 71% identify as being fans of the NFL, the largest Latino fan base of any U.S. sports league. The collaboration will continue strengthening efforts to deliver culturally relevant and high-quality sports content that resonates with Latino fans.

In addition, Entravision will provide endzone to endzone postseason coverage broadcasting every NFL Playoff game, the AFC and NFC Championships, and Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February 9, 2025. All games will air on Entravision’s O&O radio stations plus affiliate partner stations, such as TUDN (TelevisaUnivision) and Latino Media Network.

    Entravision’s game day broadcasts will include a pre-game show, live game broadcasts, and post-game analysis. Sunday broadcasts will commence with a 30-minute signature analysis pregame show,

  • Entrevista con Duplat: Entre teclas y nostalgia

    Entrevista con Duplat: Entre teclas y nostalgia

    Me queda claro que Colombia no es solo reggaetón, además Bogotá y Medellín no son lo mismo.  Una ciudad oscura, lluviosa y por momentos gris, produce artistas magníficos, sobrados de talento. Y es que Duplat se volvió en una especie de obsesión desde que lo escuché por primera vez.

    Todo comenzó cuando un amigo me mandó su música y me ofreció una charla para El Botón. Aunque no tenía el gusto de conocerlo, Duplat ya tenía un background bastante completo con cuatro discos y decenas de sencillos. Ese sonido nostálgico, las armonías pegajosas y su imagen art pop, conectaron conmigo y no paré de seguirlo.

    Hablamos de un genio del piano y un compositor fuera de serie. Un disco por año no es suficiente para saciar su creatividad, y es que es de esperarse cuando se trata de un artista de conservatorio que sabe cómo funciona la música y entiende su complejidad.

    Cuando hacer música es más que un hobbie, más que una pasión y más que un estilo de vida, se siente. Duplat vive por ella.

    Aunque este año sigue preparando una nueva producción y los videos que estarán acompañándola, pudimos hablar de la escena colombiana, los artistas mainstream que producen y sus deseos de tocar en México. Para alguien como Duplat la cima no es lejana. De hecho, difícilmente podría pasar desapercibido para los enormes festivales del norte y centro del país.

    Salas llenas, discos vendidos y una creciente fanbase en plataformas, el trabajo de Duplat está creciendo como la espuma.

    Si eres fan del indie pop y además quieres escuchar algo nutrido de sonidos y efectos, el bogotano es una excelente opción. Date un clavado en su Spotify o en su canal de YouTube que tiene grandes videos que él mismo dirige. Toda una joya del arte, ¿a poco no?

    Mientras tanto disfruta de nuestra charla y prepárate porque este año va a arrasar la escena.
