Mega TV is an American free-to-air television network based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, that is owned by Spanish Broadcasting System (SBS). It was launched in 2006. The network's flagship is WSBS-TV, a television station licensed to Key West, Florida, with studios also in Miami.
In 2023, SBS said it would sell Mega TV to Voz Media, a conservative Spanish-language news media firm, but the deal fell through due to Voz Media CEO Orlando Salazar’s inability to come up with the funds he had committed to, to close the operation. SBS canceled the purchase agreement and said it would seek another buyer. Orlando Salazar and “his billionaire wife” ended up paying SBS a multi-million dollar fine for Mr. Salazar’s nonperformance.
