Thread: Univision In Financial Trouble

It would be nice to have one less Spanish TV station here in Miami. We seem to get more of them with our cable package. I already told Comcast that why should we get their TV stations but have to get a dish and pay for programming in other languages. Even the Haitians don't have a fully Creole TV station here and we have lots of them here.

Univision is the grand-daddy of the Spanish language media....and if it fails it means many of the lesser stations will too.....too bad, so sad...so much for their market studies touting the spending power of their La RAZA viewers...apparently not enough to convince their advertisers to continue to buy air time....and lots of lousy programming as well...mostly bad take-offs on really bad American shows anyway..and the so-called "news" ...hardly.

Man. No more hot latinas on the "Gordo Y La Flaca" gossip show . Oh well, there's always the Bikini Desitination channel I guess (sigh).

It seems it's not just Univision struggling. NBC, FOX, and ABC have seen a slowdown in their reatings revenues as well. The only good thing that will come out of this recession is less stupid programs like Terminator ,Knight Rider, Bones, etc.

Univision isn't a STATION. It is a NETWORK like ABC, NBC or CBS. If it goes under they will loose stations all over the country and I think other countries too.

Sounds like restructuring needs to be done everywhere. Too many bloated payrolls (mainly in the CEO areas) in many industries. TV is another bloated industry as well as movies and sports.
What bothers me most is that the BAILOUT had NO oversight and the Senate will probably roll over about the auto industry. The Senate is playing games to appease the American taxpayers...That bothers me.
But, the politicians have been playing games for years. They and the entertainment industry are experts at it.

Austa La Bye ~ Bye

Count your blessings. Actually it's not the station, it's all the foreigner invaders who watch the station! The more invaders there are, the more Spanish TV and radio stations there are. No station means not many invaders.

Maybe they should move to Mexico where they would have the biggest audiance?

Boohoohoo! You think they will have the nerve to ask for a bailout. Maybe they shoudl ask LaRaza of LULAC for a little money. Perhaps Mexico can send them some cash. Maybe all the illegal aliens that watch their pathetic broadcastings can pitch in a little.
