"MUNDO FOX"-SPANISH TELEVISION ON FOX

MundoFox is an over-the-air Spanish language American television network set to launch on August 13, 2012. The network is a joint venture between News Corporation's Fox International Channels and Colombian broadcaster RCN TelevisiĆ³n.

The launch of MundoFox was announced on January 23, 2012. Hernan Lopez, president and CEO of Fox International Channels, said the network will cater to "an increasing demand for quality Spanish-language content in the U.S. from  both viewers and advertisers.

A signature format on MundoFox will be "teleseries," which compared to traditional Spanish TV telenovelas have fewer episodes (80 versus 120) but emphasize action-oriented storylines, diverse locations, and increased production values. Two such teleseries that will appear on MundoFox include  El Capo and Corazones Blindados. Once-a-week series will also be featured, including Kdabra and Tiempo Final. MundoFox will also include movies and already existing Fox series.


Many of the initial original scripted series that will air on MundoFox  are produced in Colombia, though the network hopes to produce US-based series by its second year at the latest.


NEWS:
MundoFox will have its own news division, Noticias MundoFox, which will produce a weekday evening news program that will be anchored by Rolando Nichols of KWHY-TV. Two live half-hour newscasts will be produced every weekday, one for the east coast and the other for the west coast.
