                       RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER 2004

     - SBS Exceeds High End of Previously Announced Third Quarter Guidance -

COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA, November 8, 2004 - Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc.
(the "Company" or "SBS") (NASDAQ: SBSA) today reported financial results for the
three- and nine- month periods ended September 30th, 2004.

QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS *

Net Revenue for the quarter was $41.1 million compared to $35.7 million for the
same prior year period, resulting in Net Revenue growth of 15%, exceeding our
previously announced guidance of mid-single digit net revenue growth. This
growth is mostly attributable to the double-digit growth in our Miami and New
York markets. These markets had increases in all sales categories. Additionally,
the Los Angeles and Chicago markets had mid-single-digit growth mainly from an
increase in local and network revenue.

Year-to-date Net Revenue was $110.7 million compared to $100.2 million for the
same prior year period, resulting in net revenue growth of 10%. This growth is
mostly attributable to the double-digit growth in our Miami and Los Angeles
markets primarily due to network revenue. Additionally, the Chicago and New York
markets had mid-single-digit growth mainly from an increase in local and network
revenue. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in the Puerto Rico market
mainly in local revenue and promotional events.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $16.5 million compared to $12.1 million for
the same prior year period, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA growth of 36%. To
provide more clarity on our quarter-end results, the prior year period's pro
forma Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the non-cash programming expense related to the
KXOL-FM warrant issuance of $(1.3) million, was $13.4 million, resulting in pro
forma Adjusted EBITDA growth of 23%, exceeding our previously announced guidance
of flat-to-low single digit pro forma Adjusted EBITDA growth. The increase in
pro forma Adjusted EBITDA resulted mainly from the increase in Net Revenue and a
decrease in Corporate Expenses.

Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA was $39.2 million compared to $28.7 million for the
same prior year period, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA growth of 37%. To provide
more clarity on our year-to-date results, the prior year period's pro forma
Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the non-cash programming expense related to the
KXOL-FM warrant issuance of $(2.9) million, was $31.6 million, resulting in pro
forma Adjusted EBITDA growth of 24%. The increase in pro forma Adjusted EBITDA
resulted mainly from the increase in Net Revenue and a decrease in Corporate
Expenses.

Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes and Discontinued
Operations for the current and prior year quarter was $5.2 million.

Year-to-date Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes and
Discontinued Operations was $6.1 million compared to $3.2 million for the same
prior year period, an increase of $2.9 million. The increase is primarily due to
the increase in Adjusted EBITDA (as discussed above), offset by an increase in
interest expense, net and a decrease in other income.

of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures.

Raul Alarcon, Jr., Chairman and CEO, commented, "We are successfully translating
the investments we have made in our station group into significant improvements
in our operating and financial results. Our third quarter revenues grew
robustly, exceeding our forecast and ranking SBS among the best performing
companies in the industry. Leveraging our strong ratings, all of our core
stations posted revenue growth with our Miami, Los Angeles and New York markets
generating double-digit gains. Moreover, we are increasingly translating our top
line growth into improving cash flows as evidenced by our third quarter Adjusted
EBITDA growth of 36%. Going forward, we remain focused on translating our
ratings gains into greater revenue shares, while seeking avenues to maximize our
strategic position in the nation's top Hispanic markets. Through our alliance
with Viacom, we have prudently agreed to acquire a full power radio station
covering the San Francisco and San Jose markets, while laying the foundation for
a cross-promotional partnership with tremendous potential. At the same time,
through our pending and recent sales of non-strategic assets, we will strengthen
our balance sheet and enhance our financial flexibility. As a result of all
these efforts, we are very optimistic about our ability to drive future returns
for our shareholders."

SALE OF STATIONS CLASSIFIED AS DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On September 18, 2003, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Border Media Partners, LLC to sell the assets of radio stations KLEY-FM and
KSAH-AM, serving the San Antonio, Texas market, for a cash purchase price of
$24.4 million. On January 30, 2004, the Company completed the sale of the assets
of these radio stations consisting of $11.3 million of intangible assets, net,
and $0.6 million of property and equipment. The Company recognized a gain of
approximately $11.8 million, net of closing costs and taxes on the sale.

On October 2, 2003, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with 3
Point Media -- San Francisco, LLC ("Three Point Media") to sell the assets of
radio station KPTI-FM, serving the San Francisco, California market, for a cash
purchase price of $30.0 million. In connection with this agreement, Three Point
Media made a $1.5 million deposit on the purchase price. On February 3, 2004,
the Company terminated the agreement; however, on April 15, 2004, the Company
reinstated the agreement and entered into an amendment to the asset purchase
agreement and a time brokerage agreement under which Three Point Media had been
broadcasting its programming on KPTI-FM. In connection with this amendment,
Three Point Media made an additional $0.5 million deposit on the purchase price.
On September 24, 2004, the Company completed the sale of the assets of this
radio station consisting of $12.0 million of intangible assets, net, and $0.3
million of property and equipment. The Company recognized a gain of
approximately $17.0 million, net of closing costs and taxes on the sale.

The Company determined that, since it was eliminating all significant revenues
and expenses generated in these markets, the sales of these stations met the
criteria in accordance with SFAS No. 144 to classify the stations' assets as
held for sale and their respective operations as discontinued operations. The
results of operations in the current year and prior year periods of these
stations including the gains on sales have been classified as discontinued
operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In addition, pursuant to the credit agreement governing our senior secured
credit facilities, one-half of the net cash proceeds received from these sales
were offered to the noteholders to repay our borrowings under the senior credit
facilities, but the prepayment was rejected.

SALE OF STATIONS NOT CLASSIFIED AS DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 26, 2004, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Newsweb Corporation to sell the assets of radio stations WDEK-FM, WKIE-FM and
WKIF-FM, serving the suburban Chicago, Illinois market, for a cash purchase
price of $28.0 million. In connection with this agreement, Newsweb Corporation
made a $1.4 million deposit on the purchase price, which is being held in
escrow. The agreement contains customary representations and warranties and the
closing of the sale is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including renewal of the FCC licenses and receipt of regulatory approval from
the FCC. The Company intends to sell the assets of radio stations WDEK-FM,
WKIE-FM and WKIF-FM; however, there cannot be any assurance that the sale will
be completed.

On August 17, 2004, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Styles Media Group to sell the assets of radio stations KZAB-FM and KZBA-FM,
serving the Southern California market, for a cash purchase price of



                    SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC.        PAGE 3

$120.0 million. In connection with this agreement, Styles Media Group made a
$6.0 million deposit on the purchase price, which is being held in escrow. The
Company intends to sell the assets of radio stations KZAB-FM and KZBA-FM;
however, there cannot be any assurance that the sale will be completed.

The Company determined that since the sales were not eliminating all significant
revenues and expenses generated in these markets, the pending sales of these
station did not meet the criteria in accordance with SFAS No. 144 to classify
the stations' operations as discontinued operations. However, the Company did
reclassify the stations' assets as held for sale in accordance with SFAS No.
144. On September 30, 2004, the Company had assets held for sale consisting of
$84.9 million of intangible assets, net, and $2.0 million of property and
equipment for radio stations WDEK-FM, WKIE-FM, WKIF-FM, KZAB-FM and KZBA-FM. In
addition, pursuant to the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit
facilities, the net cash proceeds received from these sales, when and if
completed, must be offered to the noteholders to repay our borrowings under the
senior credit facilities. Therefore, the Company reclassified the senior credit
facilities balance from long-term debt to current debt.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Merger Agreement

On October 5, 2004, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Infinity
Media Corporation ("Infinity"), Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of San
Francisco ("Infinity SF") and SBS Bay Area, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
SBS ("SBS Bay Area"), pursuant to which Infinity SF will merge with and into SBS
Bay Area, and SBS Bay Area will be the surviving entity. Upon the closing of the
merger, SBS Bay Area will continue to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBS and
will acquire all of the rights and obligations of Infinity SF, including the FCC
license of Infinity SF for radio station 93.3 FM, serving the San Francisco and
San Jose, California market. In connection with the merger agreement, in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Infinity SF, the
Company will issue to Infinity (i) an aggregate of 380,000 shares of the Series
C convertible preferred stock (the "Series C preferred stock"), which are
convertible into shares of the Company's Class A common stock; and (ii) a
warrant to purchase an additional 190,000 shares of the Series C preferred stock
at an exercise price of $300 per share. The merger agreement contains customary
representations and warranties and the closing of the merger is subject to
certain conditions including receipt of regulatory approval from the FCC and
expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR"). Although the Company
intends for the merger to close upon satisfaction of the conditions, there
cannot be any assurance that the merger will be completed in a timely manner or
at all.

The Company's Series C preferred stock to be issued upon consummation of the
merger will be issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of a certificate of
designation. Upon conversion, each share of Series C preferred stock will
convert into twenty fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A common
stock, which shares will be exempt from registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as a transaction not
involving a public offering. The shares of Series C preferred stock issuable at
the closing of the merger will be convertible into 7,600,000 shares of Class A
common stock, subject to adjustment, and the Series C preferred stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrant, will be convertible into an additional 3,800,000
shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment.

Stockholder Agreement

In addition to the merger agreement, SBS, Infinity and Raul Alarcon, Jr.,
entered into a stockholder agreement, whereby, among other rights, Infinity was
granted (i) a right of first negotiation in the event that the Company decides
to transfer to a third party any radio station that it controls in either the
New York or Miami markets, and (ii) in the event Raul Alarcon, Jr. proposes to
transfer a number of his shares, that in the aggregate would result in a change
of control, a right of first negotiation and a tag-along right. Raul Alarcon,
Jr. is the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of the
Company and holds a majority of the voting control of capital stock of the
Company.

Registration Rights Agreement

Each of the shares of Series C preferred stock, the Class A common stock
issuable upon conversion and the warrant to be issued to Infinity will be
restricted securities, and the holder thereof may not sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of such shares without registration under the Securities Act
or an exemption therefrom. In connection with the merger agreement, the Company
will also enter into a registration rights agreement with Infinity, pursuant to
which, following a period of one year (or earlier if the Company takes certain
actions), the Company will file up to three registration statements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") providing for the registration
for resale of the Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C
preferred stock upon demand of Infinity. Under the terms of the registration
rights agreement, the Company has also agreed to grant "piggyback" registration
rights to Infinity for registered offerings which include the sale of shares by
Raul Alarcon, Jr. Additionally, the registration rights agreement stipulates
that the Company will indemnify Infinity against liability arising in connection
with the resale of their shares registered in accordance with the terms of the
registration rights agreement.

Local Marketing Agreement

On October 5, 2004, SBS Bay Area also entered into a local marketing agreement
with Infinity SF, pursuant to which SBS Bay Area is permitted to begin
broadcasting its programming on radio station 93.3 FM on the fifth day following
the expiration or early termination of any waiting period applicable to the
merger agreement under HSR. SBS Bay Area will pay Infinity SF $100,000 per month
plus the cost of expenses paid by Infinity SF under the local marketing
agreement. The local marketing agreement will terminate upon the closing under,
or termination of, the merger agreement.

Barter Agreement and Service Agreement

On October 5, 2004, the Company also entered into operational agreements with
affiliates of Infinity. The Company entered into a barter agreement with CBS
Broadcasting Inc. ("CBS") and Viacom Outdoor Inc. ("Viacom"), pursuant to which
the Company will provide CBS with advertising airtime on one of its radio
stations, in exchange for which, Viacom will provide outdoor displays (such as
billboards) promoting the Company's radio stations. Each of CBS and SBS will be
responsible for producing and providing copies of their respective promotional
messages.

The Company also entered into a service agreement with Infinity Broadcasting
Corporation ("IBC"), the parent of Infinity, on October 5, 2004, pursuant to
which IBC will (a) instruct Infinity Radio Sales, a division of Interep National
Radio Sales, Inc., to include Spanish-language radio stations controlled by us
when making general market presentations to existing or potential accounts, and
(b) cause its national sales group, Infinity Sales and Beyond, to include the
Company's stations whenever Infinity Sales and Beyond makes presentations to
advertisers or potential advertisers or their agencies about the benefit of
buying time or sponsorships on a group of radio stations. In consideration for
IBC's services, commencing on the date of the closing under the merger
agreement, the Company will make monthly payments to IBC of $100,000, for the
first twelve months, and $50,000 per month thereafter, until the third
anniversary of the closing.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To provide greater comparability of our operating performance, SBS excluded the
prior year period's non-cash programming expense related to warrants issued
under the terms of the asset purchase agreement for KXOL-FM. This item was
excluded due to its significant non-cash impact. Included below are tables that
reconciles the quarter-end and year-to-date reported results in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to pro forma results, as well as
a table that reconciles Operating Income from Continuing Operations to: Adjusted
EBITDA, Station Operating Income, Pro forma Station Operating Income, Pro forma
Same Station Operating Income and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA.

(1)  Pro forma Same Station Results reflect stations operated during the same
     periods on a COMPARABLE MONTHLY BASIS. In addition, they exclude non-cash
     warrant expense and LaMusica.com Internet results.

(2)  Station Operating Income is defined as Operating Income from Continuing
     Operations before Corporate Expenses and Depreciation and Amortization.
     Station Operating Income replaces Broadcast Cash Flow (BCF) as the metric
     used by management to assess the performance of our stations. Although it
     is calculated in the same manner as BCF, management believes that using the
     term "Station Operating Income" provides a more accurate description of the
     performance measure.

(3)  The Company issued warrants in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement
     for KXOL-FM. For the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30,
     2003, non-cash warrant expense was $1.3 million and $2.9 million,
     respectively, which was included in Station Operating Expenses.

(4)  Pro forma Station Operating Income is defined as Station Operating Income
     excluding warrant expense.

(5)  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Earnings Before Interest expenses, Interest
     Income, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and Discontinued
     Operations. We calculate our EBITDA differently. Our "EBITDA" is EBITDA as
     defined above but excluding Other Income or Expense, or alternatively, GAAP
     Operating Income from Continuing Operations before Depreciation and
     Amortization. To distinguish our calculation of EBITDA from other possible
     meanings of EBITDA, for periods ending after March 31, 2003 and going
     forward we changed references to "EBITDA" in our financial reports to the
     term "Adjusted EBITDA." Although our "Adjusted EBITDA" and what we formerly
     referred to as our "EBITDA" are calculated in the same manner, management
     believes "Adjusted EBITDA" is a more accurate description.

(6)  Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding warrant
     expense.

Station Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Same Station Results are not
measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP.
However, the Company believes that these measures are useful in evaluating its
performance because they reflect a measure of performance for our radio stations
before considering costs and expenses related to our specific corporate and
capital structure. In addition, the Company believes Same Station Results
provide a useful measure of performance because they present Station Operating
Income before the impact of any acquisitions or dispositions completed during
the relevant periods, which allows SBS to measure only the performance of radio
stations it owned and operated during the entire relevant periods. These
measures are widely used in the broadcast industry to evaluate a radio company's
operating performance and are used by management for internal budgeting purposes
and to evaluate the performance of the Company's radio stations and its
consolidated operations. However, these measures should not be considered in
isolation or as substitutes for Operating Income, Net Income (Loss), Cash Flows
from Operating Activities or any other measure for determining the Company's
operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP.
In addition, because Station Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Same Station
Results are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they are not necessarily
comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

FOURTH QUARTER 2004 OUTLOOK

For the quarter ending December 31, 2004, the Company expects net revenue growth
to be in the mid-to-high teens range and Adjusted EBITDA growth to be in the low
double-digit range over the comparable prior year period. This outlook includes
the operations of the new radio station in San Francisco. The Company's fourth
quarter capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $1.4 million.
