“My family and I have worked tirelessly for the past fifteen years to build DMC Broadcasting Inc. into one of New Mexico’s largest independently-owned radio groups.

Although Brenda and I are still too young to retire, we are thrilled that we can enter into the next phase of our lives and spend more time with our family and new granddaughter. We are very excited that the radio stations will continue to be family-owned and operated by LMNOC Broadcasting.
Christopher Muñoz, the radio group’s next President/CEO has a stellar radio and television career, specializing in sales and management. Chris has a serious passion for radio broadcasting and supporting the local community and businesses. I have no doubt in my mind that with Chris’s passion and ambition, that these radio stations will excel and continue to the next level. We are truly blessed to have had the tremendous support throughout the years from our community, listeners and from our advertisers” Darren Cordova stated.

Christopher Muñoz President/CEO of LMNOC Broadcasting LLC and LMNOC Media Group LLC has entered into his first opportunity to become a broadcast owner with the acquisition of DMC Broadcasting. Chris’s broadcast career includes 25 years of radio and TV sales and management. LMNOC Media Group is a full-service advertising agency with English and Spanish expertise. “When the opportunity to purchase DMC Broadcasting was presented to me I was very enthusiastic. While visiting Taos, my wife Lori and I met with Darren and his wife Brenda and were immediately impressed with the quality of the radio stations they built. Lori and I both fell in love with the people and the community of Taos and being avid skiers ourselves it was an easy decision for us to join into this venture. Taos Ski Valley offers world-class skiing and we expect to see big changes in the upcoming years. Mr. Louis Bacon has committed up to 350 million dollars to make Taos Ski Valley rival one of the best ski resorts in North America. The Town of Taos has also approved a 25 million dollar improvement to the local airport, which has already seen a positive impact on the local economy.”

“Darren and his family have done a great job building quality stations with hyper-focused formats that reflect the unique listening habits of Taos. My goal is to continue servicing the needs of all of the communities that we serve while providing quality broadcasting that will help local, regional and national clients reach this diverse and unique audience” Stated Christopher Muñoz.

DMC Broadcasting Inc. and LMNOC Broadcasting LLC have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement which will be filed this week with the Federal Communications Commission. The parties, pursuant to FCC rules, have also entered into a Local Marketing Agreement, (LMA) which allows LMNOC Broadcasting to begin programming and marketing the stations as early as this week.
