But if that suggests Dallas' Spanish-language radio stations are in trouble, that is news to Jose and Lenard Liberman. The father and son are the beneficiaries of Entravision's exit from the market; their company, Liberman Broadcasting of Dallas Inc., is forking over $95 million to buy KTCY-FM (101.7, Super Estrella), KZZA-FM (Casa 106.7), KZMP-FM (104.9), KZMP-AM (1540) and KBOC-FM (98.3). The sale has to be approved by the Federal Communications Commission and probably won't close till the end of the year, but when it does, Entravision won't have any local Dallas media outlets, while Liberman will have a total of seven. Liberman already owns KNOR-FM (93.7), which recently switched formats from a hip-hop station to "La Raza" rock, and KMPZ-Channel 29 on your TV dial.
News of this transaction has to thrill the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) and other local and national lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organizations who last year went after the Libermans for "promoting physical violence against and verbal abuse" against the LGBT community. Go here to watch the video GLAAD was mad about. --Robert Wilonsky
