Re: Registration of Securities of Liberman Broadcasting, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement (“Registration Statement”) on Form S-1 (File No. 333-112773) of Liberman Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $184,000,000 (the “Securities”).

Subject to certain proposed additional proceedings being taken as contemplated by the Registration Statement prior to the issuance and sale of the Securities being offered by the Company, we are of the opinion that the Securities will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, upon payment for and delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the countersigning of the certificate or the certificates representing the Securities by a duly authorized signatory of the registrar for the Company’s Class A common stock, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/    O’Melveny & Myers LLP
