SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE: EVC) and Stardome Radio Networks today announced the launch of the highly popular syndicated morning show, "El Show de Alex 'El Genio' Lucas," on Entravision's Jose radio stations in nine markets including Los Angeles, Denver, Phoenix and Sacramento.

"The recent Census results have made it clear that the Hispanic demographic is continuing to grow and flourish. With an increasing number of U.S. Hispanic households being comprised of multiple generations, we feel it is extremely important to invest in high-quality, family-friendly programming that the entire household can enjoy," said Jeffery Liberman, President of Entravision's Radio Division. "We believe 'El Genio' will help Entravision's already successful Jose format reach new audiences and provides advertisers with an attractive opportunity to target the lucrative Hispanic demographic."

"'El Show de Alex 'El Genio' Lucas' and the Jose format complement each other because they are both unique entertainment properties and play the greatest hits of the past three decades," said Nestor Rocha, Vice President of Programming for Entravision. "'El Genio' brings a TV-style morning show to radio, which consists of news, entertaining banter and true journalistic reporting from Mexico and other parts of Latin America."

"Bringing our branded and successful Alex Lucas franchise to Entravision's stations truly combines the strength of innovative programming concepts in family-friendly radio with one of America's leading Spanish-language radio broadcasting platforms," said Anthony Hernandez, Chief Executive Officer of Stardome. "This partnership provides Stardome Radio Networks with an entry into a collection of vibrant Hispanic markets and we look forward to continuing to work with Entravision."
