Profile
Runs Audio and Video businesses centered on radio brands and the Estrella Media portfolio. A former radio-focused carve-out, it expanded into network, content, and digital operations through Estrella.
Operates Audio and Video businesses built around radio brands and the Estrella Media portfolio. The company grew from a New York radio-focused carve-out into a multi-platform operation through the Estrella acquisition.
Audio and Video provide the current operating frame. EstrellaTV, Estrella News, Cine EstrellaTV, Estrella Games, the EstrellaTV app, and FAST channels expanded its network, content, and digital presence.
The public company originated through an Emmis shareholder distribution rather than a conventional IPO. Estrella became a wholly owned subsidiary, making its integration and acquired assets and liabilities structural parts of the business.
