Orlando Salazar talks about Voz Media’s purchase of Mega TV: We will be the premier conservative alternative to Telemundo and Univision

"I have no direct contact of any kind with Trump’s people, DeSantis’ people or anyone else. In 2020, I did support Trump, but it is a new era and we are now neutral."

This week, Voz Media unveiled the latest achievement in its mission to become the premier media outlet for the Hispanic community: the acquisition of Mega TV for $64 million.

Orlando Salazar, founder and CEO of Voz Media, was interviewed by W Radio's Julio Sánchez Cristo on Wednesday. He spoke about the group's plans after the resounding acquisition. "Why were you encouraged to make this million-dollar investment?" asked Sánchez Cristo. Salazar, after thanking Raúl Alarcón and Albert Rodríguez for giving him the opportunity to take over Mega TV, said:

I think it was very important for them to keep the company in the hands of someone like me, someone Hispanic, with similar values. I really appreciate what they have done for me. And we're going to keep going, taking Mega TV to places it has never been.

Orlando Salazar insisted that Voz Media will be guided by conservative values, which led Sánchez Cristo to ask him if he believed that this was not already a foundation of Mega TV. Salazar clarified that the intention is to expand upon what Mega TV had already been doing:

We want to add, and we want to improve and bring more variety. For example: there are three key male presenters at Mega, and we want to add women as well. There are very talented women who can offer their opinions and points of view. They are conservative, and we want to make a mix of different people and perspectives.

In Salazar's opinion, Voz Media will make a substantial contribution to the informative and entertaining work already being done by the Florida-based network:

There is plenty of room to add more content, more opportunities to communicate with our people. Also on weekends. We want to produce more content and give more information to our people. For example, financial information.

Salazar made it clear that Voz Media’s mission to strengthen Mega TV relies on the great programs that the network already has, but that others will also be added. The goal is to build a formidable alternative to Telemundo and Univision, which both see the world through a leftist lens, said the Texan businessman.

Does Voz Media support Trump?

"I have no direct contact of any kind with Trump’s people, DeSantis’ people or anyone else. In 2020, I did support Trump, but it's a new era and we are now neutral." When asked about Voz Media's affiliation, Salazar stated:

It is not a religious enterprise, it is secular, but our foundations are Judeo-Christian. That is who we are, and that is what will guide us in everything we do.

At another point in the interview, Sánchez Cristo asked if the media outlet and business were political operations to support Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential elections. Salazar, executive vice president of the Republican Party in Dallas County, said:

I have no direct contact of any kind with Trump’s people, DeSantis’ people or anyone else. In 2020, I did support Trump, but it is a new era and we are now neutral. We are not supporting anyone. I know there is another media outlet that is very close to Trump, and their investors are very close to Trump, but we do not. ... I have invested the money in our company. I do not have those relationships. So that's not the reality; not at all.
