PROXY STATEMENT

        The accompanying Proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Radio Unica Communications Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”) to be held at the Grand Hyatt New York, Park Avenue at Grand Central Station, New York, New York, on June 20, 2000, at 9:00 in the morning, or any adjournment thereof, at which stockholders of record at the close of business on April 23, 2000 shall be entitled to vote. The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. The Company may use the services of its Directors, officers, employees and others to solicit proxies, personally or by telephone; arrangements may also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, fiduciaries and stockholders of record to forward solicitation material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons. The Company may reimburse such solicitors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in soliciting, but no compensation will be paid for their services.

        There is being mailed herewith to each stockholder of record the Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. It is intended that this Proxy Statement and form of Proxy will first be sent or given to stockholders on or about April 28, 2000.The Company will provide without charge to each of its stockholders, on written request of such stockholders, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Written requests for such Form 10-K should be sent to Investor Relations, Radio Unica Communications Corp., 8400 N.W. 52nd Street, Suite 101, Miami, Florida 33166. Additionally, a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K is available for download at our web site www.radiounica.com.

        Each proxy executed and returned by a stockholder may be revoked at any time before it is voted by timely submission of written notice of revocation or by submission of a duly executed proxy bearing a later date (in either case directed to the Secretary of the Company). The powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if the person executing the proxy attends the Meeting in person and so requests. Attendance at the Meeting will not, in itself, constitute revocation of a previously granted proxy.

        If the accompanying proxy card is properly signed and returned to the Company and not revoked, it will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Unless contrary instructions are given, the persons designated as proxy holders in the proxy card will vote FOR the slate of nominees proposed by the Board of Directors, FOR ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 and as recommended by the Board of Directors with regard to all other matters or, if no such recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

        Pursuant to the By-laws, the Board of Directors has fixed April 23, 2000 as the time and date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Company thereafter. On April 23, 2000, the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote with respect to all matters to be acted upon at the meeting 21,152,535 shares of Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such holder. The presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders representing a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting will constitute a quorum. In accordance with Delaware law, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting. All other items on the agenda must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted at the meeting in order to pass. Abstentions are counted in the calculation of the votes cast with respect to any of the matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, whereas broker non-votes are not counted in determining the votes cast with respect to any of the matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

        It is expected that the following business will be considered at the meeting and action taken thereon:

1.   ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        Pursuant to the By-Laws of the Company, the number of Directors of the Company has been set at eight members. It is proposed to elect eight Directors at this Meeting to hold office for a one year term until the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. It is intended that the accompanying form of Proxy will be voted for the nominees set forth below, each of whom is presently a Director of the Company. If some unexpected occurrence should make necessary, in the Board of Directors’ judgment, the substitution of some other person or persons for any of the nominees, shares will be voted for such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may select. The Board of Directors is not aware that any nominee may be unable or unwilling to serve as a Director. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the nominees.

Options Granted

        The table below shows information regarding the grant of stock options made to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The amounts shown for each officer as potential realizable values are based on arbitrarily assumed annualized rates of stock price appreciation over the term of the options. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the Company’s Common Stock. There is no assurance that such potential realizable values will be achieved.

The grant date present value per option was calculated using a modified Black-Scholes American Option Pricing Model. Assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes valuation were as follows:

1-

Expected Time to Exercise = 5 years;

2-

Expected Dividend Yield = none;

 3-

Risk-free rate of return = 6.50%, based on grant date U.S. government bond interest rates reported by the U.S. Federal Reserve;

4-

Expected Volatility = 13%;

 5-

The Black-Scholes options valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models, in management's opinion, do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's stock options.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation 

        The members of our Compensation Committee have no interlocking relationships as defined under SEC regulations.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

        The Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of Directors who are not employees of the Company, will review and approve all renumeration arrangements for the Company’s executive officers and Directors, and will review and approve compensation plans in which executive officers are eligible to participate. The Compensation Committee presently consists of Messrs. Santoleri, Coleman and Dillon. The Company’s philosophy for compensating executive officers is designed to attract, reward, motivate and retain key executives who are capable of achieving the Company’s objectives.

        The Company’s compensation program for executive officers consists of the following key elements: salary based on individual performance and contributions to the Company; an annual bonus that is directly related to the performance of the executive’s business unit and the Company as a whole; and grants of stock options designed to motivate individuals to enhance the long-term value of the Company’s stock. The amount of compensation to be paid to an executive officer is based on the Committee’s subjective analysis of each individual’s performance, contributions and responsibilities. The Committee did not use any specific qualitative or quantitative measures or factors in assessing individual performance.

        The grant of bonuses to executive officers is entirely discretionary. Mr. Blaya makes his recommendations to the Committee for each of the other executive officers based on his perception of the individual’s performance, responsibility and functions and how his performance may have contributed to the Company’s performance.

        The Company has the Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) which is designed to link the interests of the executive officers with the Company’s stockholders and provide such executives with an equity interest in the Company. The options are designed to enhance stockholder values by benefiting executives only if other stockholders of the Company also benefit. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage executives and others to acquire a larger stock ownership and proprietary interest in the Company and thereby stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company. All options granted in 1999 were granted at the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The number of options that the Committee grants to executive officers, including Mr. Blaya, is based on individual performance and level of responsibility. Stock options were the only long-term incentives granted to executive officers in 1999. Since stock options are tied to future performance of the Company’s Common Stock, they will provide value only if the price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.

        The Chief Executive Officer’s compensation for 1999 was based on the same performance and other criteria as summarized in the preceding paragraphs relative to all executive officers.

        In 1993 the tax laws were amended to limit the deduction a publicly held company is allowed for compensation paid to the chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers. Generally, amounts paid in excess of $1 million, other than performance-based compensation, may not be deducted. In order to be considered performance-based compensation, one of the criteria imposed by the tax law is that the plan relating to such compensation must be approved by a company’s stockholders. The Committee will continue to evaluate maximizing the deductibility of executive compensation, while retaining the discretion it deems necessary to compensate executive officers.

Stockholder Return Performance Presentation

        The following line graph sets forth for the period October 19, 1999, the date on which the trading of the Company’s Common Stock commenced, through December 31, 1999, a comparison of the percentage change in the cumulative total stockholder return on the Company’s Common Stock compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and the Standard & Poor’s Broadcasting Index for TV, Radio and Cable.

        The graph assumes that the shares of the Company’s Common Stock were bought at the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share and that the value of the investment in each of the Company’s Common Stock and the indices was $100 at the beginning of the period. The graph further assumes the reinvestment of dividends.

        The stock price performance shown on the graph below is not necessarily indicative of future price performance.
