AI DJ Coyotec Becomes a Radio Star in LA
Los Angeles station José 97.5 FM uses synthetic co-host Coyotec, built on ElevenLabs with a voice cloned from Entravision Audio president Eduardo Maytorena. The show Al Aire y Sin Permiso moved to weekday morning drive, and Entravision is expanding the format to six US cities.
- Coyotec is an ElevenLabs-based AI co-host with a cloned voice
- The AI degrades after ~10 minutes, so the show is recorded in four segments
- Entravision claims a 75% rise in weekly cume among men 25–54
- US radio employment fell from 85,000 in 2019 to 66,000 in 2025
