LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE: EVC), a diversified media company serving Latino audiences and communities, today announced that its super-station Jose FM, which is a simulcast of KLYY Jose 97.5 FM, KDLD 103.1 FM and KDLE 103.1 FM, is the #2 ranked Spanish-language radio station in Los Angeles in Prime Time (Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) among Latino Adults 18-49 and 25-54, according to the combined September, October and November 2014 ratings reports released by Nielsen Audio.

Entravision's Jose FM's ratings triumph is driven by its wildly popular drive time programming and one-of-a-kind on-air personalities. In Afternoon Drive Time (Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.), Jose FM's El Show de Erazno y La Chokolata program dominates the time slot. El Show de Erazno y La Chokolata is number one in three key Latino demographics, leading all other Spanish-language Afternoon Drive programs among Latino Adults 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54. In November, the program was also #2 among all Adults 25-54 in the Los Angeles market, regardless of language. Jose FM's other top program, El Genio Lucas, is second place among Spanish-language programs in Morning Drive Time (Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.) with Latino Adults 25-54.

"Jose FM's ratings excellence in Los Angeles over the past three months is a huge milestone for the station, our employees and Entravision. This success demonstrates our priority of delivering dynamic Spanish-language programming and top-rated original content to our listeners not only in Los Angeles, but in the entire country," said Jeffery Liberman, Chief Operating Officer for Entravision. "Jose FM's exceptional performance during the past three months shows Entravision's ability to deliver consistent ratings in one of the country's largest and most competitive radio markets. We are committed to building on this success to make Jose FM an even more powerful force in the Los Angeles market in 2015, so that our audiences and advertisers can truly feel the KLYY difference."

Entravision's continued focus on content creation and the growth of its radio network "Entravision Solutions Network" has resulted in a diverse and expanding portfolio of programming that generates strong ratings on both a Spanish-language and general market basis across markets in the United States. Beginning on July 28th, Nielsen recognized Entravision's "Jose FM" stations as KLYY-FM only, combining the three signals into one station for its radio reporting. Through the creation of this "super-station," Entravision's Jose FM increased its coverage across Central Los Angeles, Orange County and the San Fernando Valley in recent months.
