From his office and studios on the fifth floor of "The Freedom Tower" in Miami, Italian-American businessman Louis J. Boeri and his company, America's Productions, Inc. (API), formed a radio programming empire, selling their shows to government, to more than 200 radio stations throughout Latin America and Spain, and to Spanish-speaking radio stations in the United States during the second half of the 1960s. With scripts written by acclaimed exiled Cuban screenwriters and Mexican writers, America's Productions, Inc. produced two types of programs: the first with political content and the second, of a more general nature, distinguished as "pure entertainment." Designed for a Latin American and Latino audience residing in the US, the pure entertainment included radio soap operas/dramas, comedies, advice and self-help programs, biblical dramas, mysteries, spy stories, and variety shows.
