More mergers...
One day we will all be watching 3000 channels owned by one company--and it looks like Disney (scary since they are monopolizing BROADWAY, but I have better things to think about like how the hell do I get to FLUSHING, NY this week and not get lost or bump into the World's Fair sphere)
But yes my friends, we will now have a 24 hour CNN type "espanol" version brought to you by those famous ears, DISNEY & CO.
"Walt Disney Co. and Univision Communications Inc. said Monday they have
agreed to launch a 24-hour cable news channel targeting Hispanics that
will broadcast in English..."
The joint venture between Disney's ABC News and
Univision News aims to reach the rapidly growing US-born Hispanic
population, which often speaks English more than Spanish and is now
fueling the group's growth more than Spanish-speaking immigrants.
The still-unnamed channel is slated to begin in
2013, the companies said in a joint statement. A website, as well as
mobile and social-media content, are set to debut this summer ahead of
the presidential election, in which the Hispanic vote is expected to
play an important role.
