Uforia Audio Network ( /juːˈfɔːriə/) is the radio broadcasting and music events division of TelevisaUnivision USA.
Later station purchases were KIFN in Phoenix, Arizona; WGMA in Hollywood, Florida; & WACO-AM-FM and TV (construction permit) in Waco, Texas.
He began focusing on its Spanish Language stations; Waco, Hollywood, and Phoenix were sold to their local managers.
The KLAT purchase gave Tichenor access to top Spanish Radio talents Chuck Brooks, Ricardo del Castillo (who later became COO, retired and has since passed) and Gary Stone (former President of Univision Radio-retired).
His Heftel Broadcasting in the 1950s and early 1960s was anchored by KIMN in Denver and KGMB AM and KGMB-TV in Honolulu.
Cecil Heftel was elected as a congressman representing Hawaii's first district in 1976; he would hold that office eleven years before resigning in 1987.
In the early 90s, Heftel began to expand into more Spanish stations, and took steps to go public (new executive Carl Parmer).
Heftel set up shop in Miami with local stations WAQI and WRTO, taking a minority interest.
HBCi created a network of bilingual radio station web sites and a network of bilingual local city guide sites focused on the local Hispanic consumer in each of the markets the radio stations operated.
HBCI achieved the rare milestone of reaching profitability in the dotcom industry just prior to the merger with Univision.
There are also plans to use the Uforia brand more extensively across platforms, including live events, as well as television programming.
On June 3, 2022, Latino Media Network, a new media company founded by social entrepreneurs Stephanie Valencia and Jess Morales Rocketto and backed by several Latino luminaries including former Univision co-anchor Maria Elena Salinas announced it would acquire TelevisaUnivision’s radio properties in ten markets for $60 million.
