Televisa, UNI Reunite for Latino Media Gigante

[Mark Jeffries]

The dominant force in Mexican TV for decades actually started Univision in the 70s (as the Spanish International Network), but had to sell it due to limits on foreign ownership of stations--the number one force in Latino media in the U.S. has reunited with Televisa in the hopes of getting into--guess what--a global Spanish-language streamer:

Besides television, Univision also dominates Spanish-language radio in the U.S.  This move seems to seal the fact that they are not interested in English-language media right now, after attempts at cable channels aimed at younger, predominately English-speaking Latinos (Fusion, El Rey) busted and they sold off the former Gawker Media (including the Onion) to G/O Media, which since then has seemed to do everything to kill those enterprises (just ask the now-former Chicago-based staffers at the AV Club).  (Gawker itself was sold off before UNI bought the parent company).

If they don’t bring back Sabado Gigante, I don’t care
