MediaCo Q3 Revenue & Net Loss Increase Following Estrella Media Acquisition

MediaCo Holdings Estrella Media Hot 97 WBLSMediaCo has issued its Q3 2025 earnings report noting a 51% growth in year-to-date net revenue to $94.7 million following the addition of Estrella Media’s properties in 2024. The company also had a net loss of $33.9 million following a net income of $2.9 million last year, which the company stated was primarily due to change in fair value of warrant shares liability; partially offset by higher revenue and lower corporate costs related to the April 2024 Estrella Acquisition.

President/CEO Albert Rodriguez said, “We continued to execute at a high level during the third quarter, driving tangible gains across virtually every facet of our strategic plan. Building on the strength of our brands and talent, we drove a substantial gain in our revenues, including a surge in our digital revenue to $17 million, which now accounts for 49.2% of our total advertising sales, ranking among the top in the industry. All-the-while, we continued to maintain a disciplined approach to managing our expenses and efficiently allocating our resources to the most promising growth initiatives. Looking ahead, we are in growth mode, as evidenced by our expansion in New York, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Arizona, the addition of our FAST channels and our focus on strategic mergers and acquisitions. We are committed to delivering ratings growth and increasing our share of advertising in key markets, while securing important content and distribution partnerships that will allow us to efficiently grow our broadcast and digital audiences nationally. As we build on our momentum and continue to pursue synergies across our dynamic multi-channel platform, we remain well positioned to drive growth in our revenues, cash flows and margins to the benefit of our shareholders.”

MediaCo also announced the promotion of CFO/Treasurer Debra DeFelice to Executive Vice President. She stated, “I look forward to continuing our momentum as we work towards the next phase of MediaCo’s growth. The third quarter further validates the strategic value of the Estrella acquisition and the strength of our operating model. We delivered significant year-to-date revenue growth and a meaningful swing to positive Adjusted EBITDA, driven by both scale benefits and tighter cost management. We expect to build on this momentum as integration efficiencies continue to materialize and as we further optimize our audio and video portfolio and expand our distribution channels.”
