Sun, Aponte Renew Vows

Sun Broadcast Group has signed a multi-year extension with Chief Operating Officer, Julio Aponte. Under the agreement Aponte will continue to head the daily operations of Sun’s offices in New York City and Boca Raton and oversee the company’s sales department. Aponte joined Sun in early 2013 as Director of Hispanic Sales and was quickly promoted to SVP of Hispanic Initiatives, where he helped launch the Sun Latino Network. Under Aponte’s direction Sun Latino has grown to more than 400 affiliates and serves great companies like vCreative Hispanic, PromoSuite Latino, Envision Radio Network and Radio Express. In 2014 Sun elevated Aponte to COO.

Jason Bailey, CEO of Sun Broadcast Group said, “The stories I could share about the ride Julio and I have been on. I know everyone says they work with the best people, but Julio and I have truly become amazing friends during our time together. We’ve shared some of the highest of highs during our growth and, like others in this industry, we’ve been through the lowest of lows. Today as we continue our journey with the dozens of people here at Sun who put up with our craziness all day, I can honestly say I could never imagine anyone else by my side but my friend, my brother, the mayor of everywhere… Julio Aponte.”

Aponte said, “I am honored to renew my vows with Sun Broadcast Group. This is a testament to my believe that the vision and passion I saw in Jay Bailey, the day we met, as an industry visionary, is still alive today and stronger than ever. I thank my family here at Sun and our amazing partners for standing with me over the years. The best is yet to come for the radio industry and for SUN! And with that said… I do!”
