Entravision's AI co-host Coyotec came with a 75% rise in weekly cume among Hispanic men 25-54
Problem
Entravision wanted to reach Hispanic men aged 25 to 54 on its Los Angeles Spanish-language station, José 97.5 (KLYY).
Approach
The company launched Coyotec, which it calls the first Latino AI-powered radio personality. Coyotec co-hosts the show Al Aire y Sin Permiso with human host GeeGee Guzman. The show debuted in September 2025 and gained two hours in April 2026. Eduardo Maytorena and LeaAnna Hernandez, EVP of AI Strategy, oversaw the project.

Takeaway
Entravision paired the AI voice with a human host and a longer show slot. The audience gain it reports follows the April expansion, so the AI's share of it is not separated.
