José Villafañe Inks LMA Deal For ‘La Nueva’ In D.C.

0

On September 1, Hispanic media veteran José Villafañe, the 70% equity interest holder of Costa Media Boston LLC, completed the purchase of WFAX-AM 1220 and FM translator W264DB at 100.7 MHz, each licensed to Falls Church, Va., for $800,000.


This made Costa Media an active competitor in the National Capital Region against both Audacy Corp. and Hubbard Radio, as well as the owner of a “Franken FM” that enjoys a sizable Spanish-language listening audience of its programming on Channel 6, and as such on 87.7 MHz.

Now, Costa Media will be taking on management of that audio service, giving them a second property in the D.C. region — one that has higher ratings than any of its peers.
