NEW YORK (Adweek) – With double-digit ratings growth this season, Spanish-language broadcaster Univision is off to a better start than any of the major English-language networks, and the future is promising as well.
The new census is expected to show a nearly 45% increase in the number of Hispanic Americans since 2000, to a total of 50 million. This couples with continuing audience erosion at the major networks and Univision's recent deal with Mexican programer Grupo Televisa, which locks up the source of much the network's popular programing for at least another decade.

A huge warm front.
Last year one of the wife’s relatives was in the hospital and the waiting room TV was on Univision. I explained to her their “all boobs all the time” business plan, at the time they were running some talk, your basic Regis and Kelly ripoff, of course the Kelly clone had double Ds and her blouse almost showed her navel. The funny part was for the bumpers in and out of commercial breaks they cut over to 3 women wearing really small dresses “dancing”. Then the next show was womens bikini skiing. The wife was laughing pretty good.
Maybe the “big 4” networks should learn the lesson, get the boobs out of the board room and onto the screen.
I don’t understand the complaints on this thread. Univision becoming the top U.S. broadcast network is probably more a reflection of the demise of ABC, CBS and NBC than the hegemony of multiculturalism.
Using hot babes to effectively advance an agenda is an age-old trick.
“Official language” has no meaning. If the “official language” was English there would still be non-English TV and radio and newspapers. And if you think the only foreign language stuff out there is Spanish I suggest you find your nearest Chinatown, Greektown or Little Italy. We used to have a middle Euoropean restaurant in Tucson, in their lobby they had newspapers in half a dozen different languages, local rags as far as I could tell (looking at the papers in languages I could muster); the restaurant owners retired but I bet those papers still exist.
But you know how that crowd is. Everything that includes any Spanish is evil. All the people complaining here are the same folks that if they see a Spanish language billboard will boycott that company... or at least will SAY they will on our convenient anonymous message board where nobody can prove otherwise.
“I must admit I do enjoy sitting down and watching Sabado Gigante, Don Francisco”
Me, too. Don Francisco is also one of my favorite TV personalities. He can be a clown when called for; but
also full of gravitas (as when he interviews US presidential candidates).
And, the news on Spanish TV shows you a lot more of what is taking place in the world than our idiot brain-dead networks (even if I mostly only look at the pictures).
Just like their population.
That would be for the LA programming portion.
This started out as a San Antonio TX operation. I've seen programming originating from every part of the US and Latin America over the years.
They claim number one broadcast status in many categories. Cleavage is certainly El Numero Uno.
I never really learned to write Spanish, or speak it, but I can listen to it and read it, and for the tough stuff there's the internet with very good on-line computer translation services.
Have you ever seen the American flag on univision or the red-white-blue colors?
We were driving around Chicago with the boys and I wanted to show them the old Italian neighborhoods, and the Czech neighborhoods (and we have a Serb neighborhood so they didn’t need to see that one) BUT everybody has anglicized the signs and menus and it looks like everywhere else now.
The invasion continues unabated. Hopefully they are ‘conservative’ even if Spanish, Hispanic culture and Santa Muerte become the norm.
Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio...
I haven’t seen an American flag on any of the networks in ages. Not since I stopped staying up late enough for sign off.
America’s growing fondness for foreign food probably caused that. But they probably still had stuff in their language in there somewhere, probably newspapers those seem to be the big foreign language thing. Probably because newspapers are pretty cheap to make, design them on any computer, sell some ads, print up 5000 to 10000 and you’ve got yourself a paper.
We have english speaking broadcast networks that slam religion, traditional values and American exceptionalism every day. But folks complain about a Spanish speaking network and refer to it as part of an invasion? Uh, I don’t understand the outrage.
And likely double digit drops when we deport ALL the illegals AND their anchor babies.
Could be. I hadn’t driven around in any of those neighborhoods in maybe 25 years, but removing the old languages from all the windows and signs definitely changed the city-scape.
That blouse is ready to explode!
