ADN

What ADN does

ADN is a Chilean news, sports, and entertainment media platform operating primarily as ADN Radio, broadcasting on FM 91.7 under the Prisa Media network. The company produces live radio programming across categories including national news, politics, economy, international news, science and technology, health, sports (football, tennis, basketball, motorsport), and lifestyle/entertainment content. It distributes content across multiple channels including FM broadcast, the adnradio.cl website, mobile applications, Spotify-hosted podcasts (ADN Hoy, País ADN, Los Tenores, Tu Nuevo ADN, Mediodía en ADN, La Prueba de ADN, Tecnociencia, ADN Moneda), and social media platforms (Twitter/X at 2.6M followers, Facebook at 2.5M, TikTok at 1.5M, Instagram at 1.1M, YouTube at 330K subscribers). ADN also operates a weekly editorial newsletter subscription service and dedicated event programming hubs such as Mundial 2026 (FIFA World Cup coverage).

The business model is fundamentally advertising-supported and free-to-air, monetizing audience reach across broadcast inventory, digital ad placements, social media engagement, podcast reads, and commercial partnerships. ADN serves Spanish-speaking general audiences in Chile seeking news, sports, and entertainment content, with advertisers as a secondary B2B segment buying reach across platforms. Headcount is reported at 251–500 employees, with corporate affiliation to PRISA Media, S.L. — a Spanish media conglomerate (Grupo Prisa) headquartered in Madrid that also operates sister stations including Radio Corazón, Rock & Pop, Radio Activa, Los 40, Concierto, and Futuro. ADN Radio benefits from shared infrastructure, cross-promotion, and centralized commercial sales within the Prisa network.

The company was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in La Dehesa/Santiago, Chile. Its growth posture is digital extension of a traditional FM radio franchise — building first-party data (newsletter), expanding into short-form video (TikTok, YouTube), and layering event-driven content (World Cup 2026). Limitations: the input material contains no disclosed revenue figures, no AI/ML capability signals, no management team roster, and no customer logos beyond advertiser relationships managed at the corporate Prisa layer. Note: source material also contains data on a separate entity called ADN.vc, a Peruvian venture capital fund focused on fintech/proptech pre-seed investments in Latin America (Fund I closed at $2.5M in 2026, led by Alberto Arrieta and Diego Alfageme with 60+ LPs); this VC fund is a distinct organization from ADN Radio and the two share only a name.
