- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mexico City, March 3, 2004 - Grupo Radio Centro, S.A. de C.V. (BMV: RCENTRO-A,
NYSE: RC) ("Grupo Radio Centro" or "the Company"), Mexico's leading radio
broadcasting company, announced today that has already discontinued its use of
the Infored-produced news program anchored by Mr. Gutierrez Vivo and produce the
Monitor program itself. Although the Company cannot predict the effect of the
replacement of Mr. Gutierrez Vivo on the program's audience share and
advertising revenue, it believes that any resulting reduction in advertising
revenue will be more than offset by a reduction in programming costs.
Company Description:
Grupo Radio Centro owns and/or operates 14 radio stations, 11 of which are
located in Mexico City. The Company's principal activities are the production
and broadcasting of musical and entertainment programs, talk shows, news and
special events programs. Revenue is primarily derived from the sale of
commercial airtime. The Company also operates a radio network, Organizacion
Impulsora de Radio, which acts as the national sales representative for, and
provides programming to, Grupo Radio Centro-affiliated radio stations.
