History

Orlando Salazar, who founded Voz in 2022 and is its CEO, is also a commercial real estate developer and beef company owner.^[1] He is a former vice chair of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly.^[1] He has described Voz Media's content as "right-of-center".^[1][2]

His first employee and chief content officer, Pablo Kleinman, was the host of a daily talk show on Univision Radio until early 2021. He previously founded several technology and media enterprises, and was a congressional candidate and member of the Executive Committee of the California Republican Party.^{[independent source needed]}

According to The Dallas Morning News, Voz aims to become a conservative rival to the dominant Spanish language channels Univision and Telemundo.^[1] Voz contributors include members of conservative Hispanic groups, former officials who served in Donald Trump's presidency, and members of the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump think tank.^[1]

In February 2023, Voz Media announced it would buy Mega TV, the Spanish Broadcasting System's (SBS) network television operation, for $64 million, but the deal fell through acrimoniously.^{[6][7][1][4][2][3][5][8]} A lawsuit by SBS against Voz, Salazar and his wife, Kleinman, and Ryan Morfin was settled in 2024 in what SBS described as a "multimillion-dollar agreement", though the exact amount was not disclosed.^[7][6][9]

As of 2023, Voz had offices and studios in the Dallas area, Miami, and Madrid.^[4]
