Entravision (NYSE: EVC), a leading media and advertising technology company, today announced the multi-market expansion of its groundbreaking AI-co-hosted show starring Geraldine "GeeGee" Guzman and Coyotec, the industry’s first Latino AI radio personality.

Building on the proven track record of their hit show Al Aire y Sin Permiso on José 97.5 FM in Los Angeles—which drove audience growth, particularly among younger Hispanic male listeners—the program is scaling up to reach a broader, highly engaged bicultural audience. To align with the vibe & sound of the Fuego Network, the expanded show features an increased English-language mix, tapping into the natural, bilingual energy of young Latino listeners alongside the hottest Latin Urban and Música Mexicana hits.

The show is now airing across the following Fuego stations in these markets:

"This expansion is a prime example of how content innovation drives our industry forward,” said Eduardo Maytorena, President of Audio. “GeeGee and Coyotec represent the future of multi-market audio—delivering authentic culture, seamless versatility, and unmatched value for our brand partners."

Bridging Human Talent and AI

At the heart of the expansion is the ability to adapt cutting-edge AI technology to diverse regional audiences while preserving authentic human connection.

“Hearing GeeGee and Coyotec together in English has been one of the most exciting parts of this expansion,” said LeaAnna Hernandez, EVP of AI Strategy. “We intentionally created Coyotec to be our ‘amigo inteligente’ ( intelligent friend )—a trusted companion that informs, entertains, and connects with listeners. Their chemistry shows how naturally AI can adapt when paired with great talent, and it’s a powerful reminder that AI isn’t limited to a single language, platform, or audience.”

A Home for Bicultural Listeners

For lead host Geraldine "GeeGee" Guzman, stepping onto the Fuego Network represents a natural evolution in reflecting how modern bicultural audiences communicate.

"For me it's less about switching gears and more about getting to show up as my full self," said GeeGee Guzman. "So many of us grew up bouncing between English and Spanish without even thinking twice about it. So getting to bring that same energy to Fuego feels like a blessing honestly, like I finally get to sound like the people who raised me. I'm thankful for the opportunity to grow with an audience that already feels like home.”

By pairing human emotional intelligence with AI’s ability to rapidly adapt, process information, and scale across regions, Entravision continues to redefine the future of localized radio with national and cultural impact.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California man who was arrested at President Donald Trump’s Los Angeles-area golf course was pretending to be part of the security detail preparing for Trump’s visit and had a stash of illegal weapons in his car and home, authorities said.

Jeanine John Taele, 38, was due in court Wednesday on a federal weapons charge but the hearing was cancelled. He is being held at a downtown LA jail on state charges, according to booking records and not yet in federal custody, said a spokesperson for the U.S. attorney’s office.

Taele was arrested Sunday at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, two days before Trump visited for a fundraising dinner.

Taele was first seen on the property Friday, walking throughout the course wearing an earpiece and taking photos and videos of federal agents' activities as they conducted a security assessment, according to a federal criminal complaint.

Taele drove away but then returned to the course Sunday. He approached federal agents and said he was employed by the State Department and was there for a security detail. Taele said he had a loaded weapon in his vehicle and was arrested after it was searched, according to federal officials. Authorities also found a 16-round magazine with ammunition in his pocket.

He already appeared in court on state weapons charges and a second-degree robbery charge for an unrelated incident.

Taele is charged federally with possession of an unregistered short-barreled rifle that was found at this home, authorities said. The complaint alleges the firearm is an illegally modified AR-style rifle with a barrel that was cut down to 10 inches (25 centimeters) from 14 inches (35 centimeters).

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said a search of his pickup truck in the club parking lot turned up a loaded 9mm pistol, binoculars and a badge that read “security protection agent," according to federal prosecutors.

Law enforcement searched his home in the nearby city of Downey on Monday and found a rifle and other firearms, magazines and ammunition, body armor and notebooks with “concerning statements," federal authorities said. No details about the statements were released.

“Mr. Taele’s troubling behavior at the President’s public golf course merely days before the President was expected to arrive raised serious red flags for law enforcement,” Patrick Grandy, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said in a statement. “There is no room for error, particularly in light of previous attempts on President Trump’s life.”

In brief remarks about Taele's arrest to Fox News on Tuesday, Trump said “only consequential presidents” are targeted, “and I am definitely consequential," which he said brought him “a little solace.”

Taele was a corporal in the U.S. Marines who was deployed to Iraq in 2008 and Afghanistan in 2010 and worked as a warehouse clerk, according to the U.S. Marine Corps. He earned numerous commendations, including an award for good conduct, during his service from 2008 to 2016.

The Los Angeles County public defender's office, which is representing Taele in the state criminal case, did not immediately return an email seeking comment Wednesday. Family members could not immediately be reached for comment.

Last year a jury found a man guilty of trying to assassinate Trump at the president’s Florida country club. And while a candidate in 2024, Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by a shooter on a roof at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
