ESPN Deportes as well as its English counterpart ESPN Radio were retained by Disney in the sale of ABC Radio to Citadel Broadcasting. Despite the separation of ownership, ESPN Radio & ESPN Deportes are still listed as part of the Cumulus Media Networks (formerly ABC Radio and Citadel Media; now, as of 2014, merged into Westwood One) family because Cumulus Media (new owners since September 16, 2011) sells the advertising time on both services.
