Most people know John Leguizamo as an actor and comedian. But for decades, the star of the recent Broadway one man show “Latin History For Morons” has also focused on the business side of entertainment. A vocal critic of the underrepresentation of Latinos in the entertainment industry, Leguizamo is a founding partner of NGL Media, a company that produces digital video content and marketing for bilingual and bicultural U.S. Latinos. "The face of America has changed, and media and entertainment hasn't kept up to reflect the growing number of Latinx and other multicultural faces that are driving growth in this country in so many ways,” says Leguizamo. That’s why he and NGL Media founder and CEO David Chitel are doubling down on the audience they’ve been catering to since they launched the company in 2010. They are expanding their joint venture, which will now be called NGL Collective. As part of a restructuring, NGL Media and NGL Studios will be divisions of NGL Collective. “It's a step towards making the company an even bigger player in the Latino media, marketing and entertainment space,” says Chitel. “Currently we have three projects in the works together including a non-scripted TV show, a documentary and a soon to be announced project involving an iconic Latinx intellectual property.” To help further their expansion goals, they hired advertising industry veteran Joe Bernard as Chief Revenue Officer of NGL Collective. Chitel, who coined the term "New Generation Latino" (NGL), and has worked in the Latino media space with Leguizamo for 18 years, believes they can fill a void and address the needs of a long-neglected audience - in both Spanish and English. “Our goal is to make sure that NGL is the best positioned in the Latinx marketplace to serve our audience and advertiser partners who are so eager to reach it at sale through video from programmatic to branded entertainment on the open web, social, OTT and even linear TV.” — Título: Vicepresidente, América Latina.

Maybe that's because Galarza, 31 -- named one of Business Insider's " 13 Badass Immigrants in Tech" -- hails from Mexico, the country which Trump has publicly accused of exporting murderers and rapists to the U.S. And, Galarza notes, is home to a growing number of successful entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley. VIVA MEXICO -- POLITICO spoke this week with Galarza, who came to the U.S. from San Luis Potosi at age 23, and is today a graduate of the Founder Institute -- and the founder of a Menlo Park-based firm specializing in providing new automated services to help firms manage their accounting. With an estimated 40 percent of the Fortune 500 companies have been founded by immigrants, Galarza said, Trump's divisive rhetoric is "very disappointing -- and discouraging." -- THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE -- "Immigrants have been part the infusion that you need to create in a place like Silicon Valley, that you need in order to have a successful ecosystem. And what he's saying it doesn't reflect Americans, in my experience,'' Galarza told us. "They are very welcoming. That's why I was able to create my company in the United States.'' —— Abrego now solo CEO at Endemol In a surprise move, Charlie Corwin is exiting as co-chairman and CEO of Endemol Shine North America, leaving co-chairman and CEO Cris Abrego to fly solo.

That action accuses Angulo and Liberman Broadcasting of sex discrimination, quid pro quo sex harassment and other wrongs. That complaint singles out Angulo's "morally bankrupt and illegal sexual harassment" of Amezola that "continued to escalate in levels of depravity" from 2012 into 2016. In addition to conditioning a raise on sex, Amezola claims that he showed her nude photos of women — including other Estrella employees — with whom he boasted he had been intimate. http://www.mediamoves.com/2016/02/estrella-tv-hires-ferriz-hijar-as-national-anchor.html The anchor claims the VP of News told her she didn’t look sexy enough and had “a beautiful pair of tits” she should show more. She says she took her case to the HR and legal department, eventually ending in her termination. http://www.mediamoves.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Sexual-Harassment-suit-Estrella-TV.pdf July 2013 to April 2016 was news anchor with LBI July to October 2013 worked as a news reporter, promoted to 5:30 and 11:30 pm local news anchor in Oct 2013 in 2014, co-worker tells her she had been sexually harassed by Angulo for a long time, going as far as offering her an assignment in exchange for sexual favors. Angulo continued to sexually harass co-worker until spring 2016 plaintiff promoted to national news anchor at 5:30 pm in April of 2015. Angulo told her that LBI owner Lenard Liberman wasn’t too convinced about her appointment, because she looked too conservative and said Liberman wanted her to look sexier. According to the suit, when she asked for clarification, Angulo told her she had “a beautiful pair of tits and should show them more.” Plaintiff says she refused to “lower her image for television ratings” and he allegedly responded that he would deny ever asking her to expose her breasts if she ever took the issue to court. She accepted national news anchor position in May 2015. According to the terms of the employment agreement, LBI agreed to pay her $105,000 per year, plus a $25,000 bonus if LBI ranked fourth in the Nielsen ratings sweeps with at least 100,000 viewers from 18 to 49 years. The agreement was renewable annually for four years until April 30, 2019. Suit says she was asked to anchor the late Enrique Gratas’ national 10:30 pm newscast when he took a medical leave of absence. Since LBI classified her as an exempt employee, there was no limit to the number of hours or work assignments she could be given. She began national newscast at 5:30 pm on or about May 1, 2015.; took over 10:30 pm August 26, 2015; October 5, 2015 she was assigned to do a 7 am radio show on La Que Buena, an LBI-owned station. From Oct 5 to 23, 2015 she was doing three jobs for LBI: news commentator at 7 am for radio, and national anchor for the 5:30 and 10:30 pm newscasts with the same salary. She was required to wake up at 5 am and work until midnight or later. Adriana Yanez was hired in October of 2015 to anchor 5:30 pm. Plaintiff was told the plan was to keep her at 10:30 until a replacement was found for Gratas and that she would eventually return to 5:30 pm. Lawsuit alleges that she maintained Gratas’ high ratings and managed to have LBI rank No. 4 during November 2015 sweeps with an average of over 100,000 viewers among adults 18 to 49, as required in her employment contract to receive the $25,000 bonus promised. However, LBI refused to pay the bonus, saying it only applied to the 5:30 pm newscast, although that’s not stipulated in the employment agreement. When she insisted on her bonus in December, Angulo allegedly threatened her, saying that if she pursued it she could be replaced by Yanez. In retaliation, the lawsuit states she was then excluded from all editorial meetings with the producer of her newscast and “intentionally caused members of the news team to lose respect” for her opinions and abilities. In January of 2016, Angulo told her that Liberman planned to permanently replace her with Yañez and she would not return to anchor the 5:30 pm newscast. This implied that as soon as a replacement was hired for the 10:30 pm newscast, she would be out of a job. Angulo recommended against her talking directly to Liberman. His actions created a hostile work environment, the suit alleges. In February of 2016, LBI hired Pedro Ferriz to anchor the 10:30 pm. According to the suit, Ferriz couldn’t be on the air because he didn’t have a work permit. She continued to anchor the 10:30 pm newscast, but Ferriz took over editorial control of her program. Former employee Nelsie Carillo previously accused Angulo of sexual harassment During a February meeting with Pat Cabello, VP of Human Resources, plaintiff says she suggested the company should investigate Angulo’s treatment of all the women at the station. The suit details she met with LBI’s general counsel on February 10, 2016 to complain about her troubles with Angulo. At the time, Simmons allegedly told her Angulo had “not handled the situation correctly” and promised to call her “when he decided what he was going to do.” She was terminated on April 20, 2016. Since her termination, she has not been able to find work. Seeking past and future lost wages, bonuses and benefits. She also seeks “general damages for mental pain and anguish and emotional distress,” as well as punitive damages to punish LBI for wrongful conduct and “deter such conduct in the future.” Also attorney’s fees. — — LOS ANGELES (CN) — A former evening news anchor for Estrella TV claims she was sexually harassed and ultimately fired when she complained about how the Spanish-language network mistreated her and other female employees. The plaintiff — identified in the complaint as Jane Doe — says she was told that Liberman Broadcasting leaders thought "her appearance was too conservative" and that she should "look sexier." "When Doe asked for clarification," network news vice president Andres Angulo "replied that she had a beautiful pair of tits and should show them more," according to the lawsuit. The Los Angeles Superior Court complaint also says Angulo repeatedly harassed another female employee, and Doe claims Estrella owner Liberman Broadcasting and LBI Media ignored her complaints — instead firing her because she complained and refusing to pay her a performance bonus she earned. Angulo is named as a defendant in the complaint. LBI Media general counsel Nicholas Simmons and outside defense attorney Tracey A. Kennedy of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton in Los Angeles could not be reached late Monday. Entertainment news publication Variety identifies Doe as former Estrella anchor Adriana Ruggiero, and information in the lawsuit exactly matches Ruggiero's career with the network. In her lawsuit, she says Estrella promoted her from reporter to anchor of its Southern California evening newscasts in October 2013. Soon after, her suit says, she learned that Angulo had been sexually harassing another employee for some time, including offering that woman an assignment "in exchange for quid pro quo sexual favors." In fact, Doe's Los Angeles attorney, Lisa Maki provided Courthouse News with a copy of a lawsuit filed in June by former Estrella reporter Karla Amezola. That action accuses Angulo and Liberman Broadcasting of sex discrimination, quid pro quo sex harassment and other wrongs. That complaint singles out Angulo's "morally bankrupt and illegal sexual harassment" of Amezola that "continued to escalate in levels of depravity" from 2012 into 2016. In addition to conditioning a raise on sex, Amezola claims that he showed her nude photos of women — including other Estrella employees — with whom he boasted he had been intimate. Amezola claims the company ignored her complaints until her attorney got involved. Her Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit now appears headed to arbitration. Her attorney, Jonathan Delshad, could not be reached late Monday. In the current case, Doe says that in April 2015 — despite Angulo's comments about her breasts — she accepted the post as anchor of the national news broadcast at 5:30 p.m. Her contract required that she would receive a $25,000 bonus if her show ranked fourth and pulled at least 100,000 viewers among the 18-to-49 age group in the next Nielsen ratings sweeps. She took on an additional nightly newscast and an early morning radio show that summer and fall. Soon, the company brought on Adriana Yanez to fill in temporarily as anchor of the 5:30 newscast. Doe says she hit her ratings goal in the November 2015 ratings sweeps, but LBI refused to pay her the $25,000 bonus. "Instead, LBI told plaintiff that the bonus was intended to apply only to the 5:30 p.m. national newscast, even though the agreement contains no such limitation," Doe says in her complaint. When she asked about the bonus, Angulo threatened Doe by telling her "it was not a good time to ask for money because Liberman liked Yanez and had suggested that Yanez could replace plaintiff." She learned that prediction had come true in January 2016 during a conversation in which Angulo "again repeated how beautiful Yanez was on camera," according to the complaint. This past February, Doe brought her complaints to human resources executives and, separately, general counsel Simmons. "In response to plaintiff reporting sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and hostile work environment, LBI wrongfully terminated or failed to renew her employment agreement with LBI as of April 30, 2016," Doe says in her complaint. "Defendants terminated plaintiff's employment because she was a woman who was engaged in protected activity." Doe has not found a new job, Maki said in an email. "She seeks just compensation for her losses," the attorney said. Doe asks for unspecified general and punitive damages, labor code penalties, a court order barring further discriminatory practices in the future and a declaration from the court "reaffirming plaintiff's equal standing under the law and condemning defendants' discriminatory practices." - Claiming She Was Fired for Exposing Payola Scheme, Hispanic Radio’s ‘Chiquibaby’ Sues SBS For Millions Popular radio personality Stephanie “Chiquibaby” Himonidis, who was at the top of her game on Univision Radio, jumped ship to SBS in 2014 to host her own morning show.

The settlement ends a 3 year investigation. Univision Services, Inc. today pleaded guilty to one count of “conspiracy to commit mail fraud in connection with a scheme to obtain increased radio broadcast time.” A Department of Justice press release has the details in the case. According to court documents, executives, music promoters and agents of Univision Music Group (UMG) used fake contract invoices and payments to obtain and hide the nature of the cash that funded the scheme. In a statement obtained by RBR.com, Univision said “the agreement relates to a payola scheme by an isolated group of employees at UMG” and that the actions, which took place between 2003 and 2006, were “undertaken without the knowledge of anyone at Univision outside of UMG.” Univision states the company self-reported the activities to the U.S. Attorney’s Office when it found out and has cooperated with law enforcement throughout the investigation. Univision sold UMG in 2008. - ESPN is launching its first bilingual sports news show, aimed at the growing audience of Latino viewers in the United States. Starting Sept. 26, cable network ESPN2 will air “Nación ESPN,” a one-hour weekly program with Los Angeles sports radio host Jorge Sedano, boxing reporter Bernardo Osuna and ESPN Deportes online journalist Marly Rivera. Although the show will be presented in English, guests appearing on “Nación ESPN” can speak in Spanish if they prefer. The bilingual hosts will summarize remarks in English in such cases. Taped interviews conducted in Spanish will have English subtitles. Sedano is a Cuban American from Miami. Osuna was born in Mexico and grew up in Los Angeles. Rivera is a New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent. “Nación ESPN,” which has aired on the Spanish-language channel ESPN Deportes since 2011, will attempt to attract Latino viewers to the Walt Disney Co. unit’s other sports channels. Both English and Spanish are spoken in 79% of Latino households. Recent studies have shown that U.S.-born Latinos, especially in the millennial age group of 18 to 35, routinely alternate between Spanish-language and English-language programming. “Their consumption trends are to pick and choose language both on personal preference, authenticity and which one gives them the most information,” said Freddy Rolón, vice president and general manager of ESPN Deportes. “We see them going between ESPN and ESPN Deportes. We see a potential for growth with them.” Advertisers for the program can choose to run their commercials in Spanish or English. Toyota has signed on as the presenting sponsor through the NFL season. “Nación ESPN” will air Mondays at 5 p.m. ET, giving the show’s on-air team the opportunity to analyze the past weekend’s NFL and soccer match results. It will also serve as a preview for the upcoming “NFL Monday Night Football” telecast on ESPN. ESPN said soccer and NFL contests are the most popular sports among Latino viewers. ESPN Deportes produced and presented the Spanish-language telecast of the Super Bowl earlier this year. “Nación ESPN” will also be available on demand through the online platform WatchESPN. A podcast version will also be available for digital devices. The new program also gives ESPN the opportunity to focus on the one TV audience segment where the cable and satellite subscription business isn’t eroding. In the first quarter of 2016, Nielsen put the number of Latino households with video subscriptions at 12.16 million, an increase of 1% compared to 2015. The slight uptick occurred while the overall number of video subscribers in the United States declined by 1.5% to 99.2 million homes, a result of more consumers turning to online streaming for their TV needs. Long term, the cord-cutting trend is a troubling one for ESPN, which receives the highest fees per subscriber of any ad-supported cable network. ESPN is also losing subscribers as consumers choose to buy smaller bundles of cable channels to reduce their monthly bills. - iHeartMedia announced it has joined forces with Hispanic radio legend Enrique Santos of Magnus Media to develop Hispanic multi-platform initiative that will leverage iHeartMedia’s reach of more than a quarter of a billion listeners monthly.

(UCI), the leading media company serving Hispanic America, will make media history next week with the launch of “Noticiero Univision Edición Digital” (Noticiero Univision Digital Edition), the first network newscast conceived, designed and produced for LIVE simulcast on digital/social platforms plus broadcast television, and the only noon network newscast in the United States. Beginning on Monday, September 12, “Noticiero Univision Edición Digital” will be broadcast LIVE on the Univision Network and streamed LIVE on Univision.com, Facebook Live, YouTube, and Periscope, Monday-Friday at 12:00 p.m. ET/PT (11:00 a.m. Central). The one-of-a-kind digital edition of Univision’s flagship network newscast “Noticiero Univision” will break new ground by filling the noon news gap for Spanish speakers across the nation while catering to millions of Hispanic digital natives and adopters who increasingly prefer to get their information through diverse platforms. Using state-of-the art digital and broadcast technology, the newscast will provide something no other network news show has offered before: a daily 30-minute round of uniquely presented national and international news coverage that viewers can watch directly on their TV sets, computers, mobile phones or tablets without the need for subscriptions of any kind. Dynamic, informal and highly interactive, “Edición Digital” will deliver the news in a refreshingly bold, out-of-the-box format that matches the vibrant style of its two new anchors, accomplished young journalists Javier Olivares and Carolina Sarassa. Along with a talented team of reporters, Sarassa and Olivares will present the day’s most relevant stories from the floor of the Univision newsroom in a candid, conversational tone while staying connected with viewers via social media throughout the broadcast. Going even further in its unique style, the show will take viewers behind the scenes to see how the news reporting process works, and will actively engage its audience through the new #reporterodigital, which will enable users to become part of the news team by reporting breaking stories. “This new show totally breaks the mold of traditional newscasts in its scope, reach, content, production, style, and even schedule, making it another first for Univision News,” said Patsy Loris, executive vice president and executive news director, Univision News. “From what’s happening in the U.S., Latin America and the world to what’s trending on social media and what videos are going viral each day, it’s all there in one single broadcast, accessible to anyone on any device, and airing in the middle of the day when no other network newscast is available. ‘Edición Digital’ will a fill a need in the Latino audience and will also be another important piece of Destino 2016, Univision’s comprehensive election coverage, as we enter the final weeks in the race for the White House.” Follow “Noticiero Univision Edición Digital” on social media via @UniNoticias, and its anchors via @CarolinaSarassa and @JavierOlivares.

Los cerca de 160,000 inmigrantes residentes en Nueva York que se estima son elegibles para participar en el sorteo tienen hasta el 23 de septiembre para registrarse en esta lotería, que responde al nombre de NaturalizeNY. En caso de no tener suerte este año, en el 2017 otros 1,500 vales serán sorteados, explicó Rosado en una conferencia de prensa. La lotería está dirigida al inmigrante que ya tiene 'green card' (tarjeta de residencia) y tiene bajos recursos económicos. Específicamente, cuyo ingreso anual está entre los $17,000 y $35,000 dólares, en el caso de una sola persona. Entre los propósitos del programa, explicó la funcionaria, se busca que los inmigrantes puedan obtener los beneficios de ser ciudadanos de Estados Unidos, al mismo tiempo que el estado de Nueva York registre un aumento en el pago de impuestos. Rosado explicó que el costo de NaturalizeNY, estimado en 1.25 millones de dólares, será financiado, en parte, por donantes privados que creyeron en este programa, “único en toda la nación”. A través de todo el estado habrá 27 centros en los cuales los inmigrantes podrán solicitar su entrada en la lotería, proceso que también se puede hacer a través de internet. — - — Victoria Sosa resigns from Telemundo 47 — Cox Media Group Tulsa Names Mary Garcia as Digital Sales Manager for Tulsa Radio TULSA – July 20, 2016 – Cox Media Group (CMG) Tulsa has named Mary Garcia as Digital Sales Manager for Tulsa Radio.

Los Angeles—The Univision Building was recently acquired by CBRE Global Investors’ U.S. Managed Accounts Group on behalf of one of its separate account clients. Following the acquisition, an immediate lease-back agreement was completed with seller Univision, with the broadcaster set to occupy the property for the next decade. The transaction total was around $102 million, boiling down to a price of $586 per square foot. Univision Building Univision Building Part of the Howard Hughes Center at 5999 Center Drive, the property offers a total of 174,084 square feet of space. Developed in 2000, the Univision Building is operating at 61.5 percent occupancy, in a highly desirable submarket. The Silicon Beach area of the L.A. metro has become one of the hottest tech areas in the country, amassing companies from a wide variety of sectors such as media, entertainment, electronic gaming, advertising, biomedicine and green tech. The submarket now benefits from a highly educated workforce, a dynamic concentration of tenants, as well as heightened demand for space, and offers proximity to LAX. The property is home to Univision’s West Coast offices and houses state-of-the-art digital broadcasting equipment, satellite transmission facilities, and SoCal radio stations along with corporate office space. The property’s large floor plates make it attractive to the profile of tenant that the new owner will be looking for. A capital improvements program is slated for the facility as the new owner looks to bolster occupancy. A new lobby, a tenant lounge, and event space, as well as outdoor amenities will be added in a push to attract creative tenants. http://therealdeal.com/miami/2016/04/19/univision-wants-12-75m-for-its-old-doral-offices/ Univision wants $12.75M for its old Doral offices Company moved to new Doral offices last year April 19, 2016 12:00PM Spanish media giant Univision has placed its Telefutura program’s former Doral offices on the market with an asking price of $12.75 million. The listing, announced by brokerage Avison Young, covers Univision’s old two-story building at 1900 Northwest 89th Place, from which the media company recently moved. With 79,271 square feet of offices, Univision’s asking price for the 1980s-era property and its separate parking lot breaks down to about $160 per foot. County records show the company paid $5.25 million for the building in 2001 — roughly $66 per square foot — plus the 1.84-acre parking lot across the street. A year later, Univision launched its Telefutura programming out of those offices, featuring treasures like “Escándalo TV,” a talk show all about celebrity gossip and news. The programming was later rebranded as UniMas before Univision’s office move. John K. Crotty and Michael T. Fay of Avison Young are handling the listing. The listing announcement said the asking price was reduced, but Avison Young declined to say by how much. Because the building is already outfitted with broadcast infrastructure, it would be a good fit for another media or broadcast company, according to the announcement. Other possibilities include a corporate headquarters, medical offices or an investor who wants to subdivide the space for multiple tenants. In October, Univision signed a 12-year agreement valued at $14 million for 40,000 square feet of space at the 9250 Doral building. As The Real Deal previously reported, the move was an expansion of Univision’s existing offices across the street. — Sean Stewart-Muniz —- add: Update: 5/9/16 (she wrote it on May 8) Neida Sandoval addresses her dismissal from Telemundo https://www.facebook.com/NeidaSandovalOficial/posts/1028795900508557 — — Telemundo scores legal victory blocking Mintz from working at Azteca legal doc; still have time to file motion for rehearing — — — — - DAYLINA MILLER / WUSF PUBLIC MEDIA - photo Julio Ochoa Julio Ochoa is editor of Health News Florida.

The companies say that CNN will use Xmedia to measure a total unduplicated view of audience across its television, desktop and mobile properties in a single metric. According to a report from the companies, xMedia data measured CNN as reaching 117 million people monthly with TV, 43 million via desktops, and 56 million from mobile, accounting for an unduplicated audience of 174 million. MEASUREMENT CNN is onboard with comScore syndicated measurement service Xmedia, designed to measure a total unduplicated view of audience across its TV and digital in a single metric. A study of CNN’s cross-media audience is “a great example of how a media brand with a strong footprint on TV, desktop and mobile can demonstrate its full value proposition to advertisers, while at the same time getting a better understanding of how its own viewers engage across different media touchpoints,” said Gian Fulgoni, co-founder and chairman emeritus, comScore. Among the study’s findings: CNN’s presence on TV, desktop and mobile reaches an unduplicated audience of 174 million, more than half the U.S. population, and the network reaches 40 percent of Millennials from its digital platforms, rising to 60 percent when combined with TV. — — — Univision online revamp http://www.mediamoves.com/2015/07/univision-ipo-filing-reveals-fusion-multimillion-dollar-losses.html — — — — — Rodríguez starts at Digital Trends Sal Rodríguez freelance contributor for now.

The information will enable clients to study how much time people spend with these gadgets—including streaming video devices and game consoles—and form Nielsen-measured content and link viewing of programs to these specific devices. Nielsen is creating a new viewing source bucket called Total Use of Television (TUT) that adds TV-connected device usage to traditional television usage for a complete view of the use of the TV set. The move is part of Nielsen's attempt to broaden the amount of viewing information it collects on all screens and devices and incorporate it into the reports it gives its media and advertising clients. — http://www.tvtechnology.com/news/0002/nielsen-to-provide-tv-connected-device-data-by-brand/278240 Nielsen To Provide TV Connected Device Data by Brand TV metric provider Nielsen announced that, effective April 25, 2016, it will make brand-level data for streaming video devices and game consoles available. The sampling will include connected peripherals such as Xbox, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, Nintendo and Wii boxes. In addition, Nielsen will add information from enabled smart TVs. Clients will be able to track how many homes across the country own TV-connected devices, which brands that they own, and the growth of these brands over time. Clients will also be able to study how much time people spend with these devices overall and, for Nielsen measured content, link viewing to programs to these specific devices. This new data is from Nielsen’s national television panel. The 40,000 households that comprise the National panel contain over 100,000 TV sets and over 50,000 TV connected devices measured by Nielsen, the firm said. In addition to brand-level data, Nielsen is creating a new viewing source bucket called Total Use of Television that adds TV-connected device usage to traditional television usage for a complete view of the use of the TV set. “The granularity of the brand-level data for TV-connected devices provides clients with in-depth insights into which devices consumers are using to access video content through their TV screens,” said Sara Erichson, executive vice president of Client Solutions and Audience Insights for Nielsen. “The ability to know how many consumers use which brands of TV connected devices, for how often and for how long, is critical for clients who need to make informed content decisions and understand their total audience.” http://variety.com/2016/digital/news/nielsen-tv-viewing-roku-apple-tv-connected-tv-devices-1201737565/ Nielsen promises to give clients a look next month at usage metrics for connected-TV devices — including Roku and Apple TV set-tops — segmented by individual brand and device type. All viewing of Nielsen-measured TV content on over-the-top devices is already included in the company’s C3 and C7 television ratings. With the new data, TV networks will now be able to get a more detailed view into that usage on specific OTT devices. Starting April 25, 2016, Nielsen said it will make available brand-level TV connected device data for Roku (pictured above), Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google Chromecast, Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Wii. In addition, it will add information based on device type such as media-streaming player, game console, Internet-enabled DVD player and smart TV. The data will let Nielsen clients track how many homes across the country own TV-connected devices, which devices they own and how much time consumers spend with them overall. For Nielsen-tracked TV content, the company said, media customers will be able to track program viewing by device. Nielsen also is launching a new metric called Total Use of Television (TUT) that adds connected-TV device usage to traditional television usage “for a complete view of the use of the TV set.” “The ability to know how many consumers use which brands of TV-connected devices, for how often and for how long, is critical for clients who need to make informed content decisions and understand their total audience,” said Sara Erichson, Nielsen exec VP of client solutions and audience insights, in a statement.

On another front, Falco says he’s “optimistic” that Univision will be able to negotiate new carriage terms with AT&T, which bought DirecTV last year. Although it “remains to be seen how people behave,” the telco “seems to be saying the right things.” Univision says that it’s in a government-mandated “quiet period” limiting it’s ability to discuss its prospects for the FCC’s auction of broadcast airwave spectrum to wireless broadband providers. The agency will share the proceeds with local stations that agree to give up some of the spectrum they currently use for TV transmissions. Although Univision is privately held, this morning it reported that it made an $8.8 million net profit in the last three months of last year, up from a $136.2 million loss in the period in 2014, on revenues of $735.9 million, up 1.1%. If you take out political ads — which helped in 2014 — and content licensing, revenues would have increased 3.6%. — Univision Communications on Tuesday said it swung to a fourth-quarter profit amid lower impairment losses and lower interest expenses and other items. Its quarterly revenue edged up only slightly, as higher subscriber fees and a gain in content licensing revenue was mostly offset by lower "other" revenue "primarily due to revenue associated with special events in 2014 that did not reoccur in 2015 and other contractual revenue decreases." Its programming costs increased as content companies across the industry continue to spend more on shows they hope will draw a bigger audience. The Spanish-language media giant, which is planning an IPO, also disclosed on its earnings conference call details of its recent acquisition of a stake in the company behind satirical news outlet The Onion. Management said it paid $27.1 million for a 40.5 percent stake. The stake in The Onion was a "complementary" extension that helped the company expand its reach and scale in multi-cultural millennial audiences, as have Univision's stakes in the El Rey and Fusion networks, Univision president and CEO Randy Falco explained on the call. Management also got a question on the Fusion network joint venture with Walt Disney. CFO Francisco Lopez-Balboa said Fusion, which targets millennials, was "growing nicely," but wouldn't discuss "rumors that you may read in the press." Wall Street chatter has said that Disney was looking to sell its 50 percent stake to Univision amid losses at Fusion. Sources have told THR that Univision, which is in charge of Fusion content, feels it could better control the further growth of the network if it had full ownership and took over sales and distribution from Disney. Univision on Tuesday posted earnings of $8.8 million for the fourth quarter, compared with a year-ago loss of $136.2 million. Quarterly operating earnings of $90.3 million compared with a year-ago loss of $88.2 million. Adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA), another profitability metric, rose 2.7 percent to $335.2 million. Quarterly revenue climbed 1.1 percent to $735.9 million. Advertising revenue edged up just 0.1 percent to $502.2 million amid lower political and advocacy advertising, while subscriber fee and content licensing revenue on a combined basis rose 3.4 percent to $233.7 million. Subscriber fee revenue was the key driver, with an increase of 8.5 percent to $183.2 million, primarily due to contractual rate increases and additional distribution of the Univision Deportes network. —— Melody Mendez - last show Chicago Feb 7 Melody Mendez is the co-anchor of FOX 32's Good Day Chicago.

YuppTV, best known for streaming Indian TV and movies, is debuting in the U.S., Canada and Latin America in 2016. Expected to be priced at $10 a month, the service will include a package of Spanish language content, including local Argentine programming. - Long known for bringing live TV channels and movies from Bollywood to Indian expats via their Smart TVs, Blu-ray players and media streaming devices, this U.S. company now has Argentina in their sights as they expand their reach to more expats around the world and address the lack of programming those expats get from their cable and satellite providers. “We didn’t have to look too far when we thought about our target audience,” said Damon Johnson, Senior Vice President and G.M. for the Americas for YuppTV. “My wife and kids were born in Argentina. Our satellite provider has no Argentine TV channels. The other satellite provider has only two channels and we would have to pay US$30 for a special Spanish-language package. We can’t get cable in our neighborhood, but the cable operator in our area has only one Argentine channel and we would have to pay extra for a Spanish-language package. It was pretty obvious that we had to address this underserved market.” YuppTV Argentina will target the U.S., Canada and Latin America* initially and then focus on other markets in 2016. The YuppTV app is free to download on Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, Hisense, Sharp, Apple TV, Tivo, Amazon Fire, Google Chromecast as well as on Google Play, Apple iOS and Win 10 platforms. “We’ll announce the channels soon and most are among the top 10 highest rated Argentine channels,” said Johnson. “Everybody’s talking about cord-cutting, but we really see this as ‘additive’ or as a ‘replacement’ for cable and satellite packages targeted at customers that want more choices. We will start out with a small package of around 10 channels for a reasonable $10 dollars per month. We think these channels are the ones most Argentines are longing for and can’t get anywhere else.” *(Excludes Brasil and Argentina) — — - Elisa Torres will head SBS’ Aire Radio Network, becoming one of the first women to helm a radio company in this country.

This is why I'm so excited to partner with Shutterfly in their efforts to infuse Hispanic culture into the products and services that I love and have used for years." said Maria Canals-Barrera. Some of Maria’s favorite Shutterfly projects include: · Personalize your Halloween – Picking the perfect Halloween costume is just half the fun, accessorizing with unique touches will bring the experience to a new level. With Shutterfly you can personalize your children’s candy bag by adding a photo of them striking their scariest pose using Shutterfly’s Reusable Shopping Bag. · Create priceless keepsakes – Turn your photos into memorable Holiday Cards, or Personalized Ornaments that make for festive and unique gifts for the Holidays. Starting in late October, Maria will appear in four videos showcasing her favorite products, focusing on special occasions and ways to personalize everything from fall season home décor and Halloween trinkets, to Christmas cards and calendars for the new year. The videos will live on Shutterfly.com/mivida. — — El Rey 3rd season pickup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55CXal_vxH8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgpVN_f_YoU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcJ_Y8Vj-4c — — YouTube unveiled its long-awaited ad-free subscription-video service today, dubbed YouTube Red. The service will cost $9.99 per month, matching the current subscription price of Netflix’s standard two-stream HD plan. Beginning on Oct. 28, U.S. subscribers can access the content on any device. Why This Matters: Many in the industry question whether YouTube can convince people to pay for a service they’ve been using for years for free. — The man behind the success of Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is now putting his might behind a digital studio dedicated to creating digitally distributed Latino-targeted comedy content. Broadway Video next January will open the doors to Más Mejor, a new entity formed in collaboration with NBCUniveral Telemundo Enterprises. Though its content will be designed to appeal to general audiences worldwide, its output will be squarely targeted to U.S. Hispanics, the company said. Furthermore, the partnership calls for Telemundo’s digital and social platforms to serve as the key distribution platform and for the Spanish-language network to create “exclusive sponsorship opportunities” around Más Mejor content. To help jump start Más Mejor, Broadway Video has partnered with popular comedians and digital influencers including SNL alumni Horatio Sanz and Fred Armisen, as well as Vine sensation David Lopez. Additionally, Más Mejor will work closely with Mexico City-based production studio What a Bear, run by Adriana Bello (Days of Grace) and Lemon Films’ Billy and Fernando Rovzar (Casa de Mi Padre). Each will recruit talent and produce short-form comedy content “in keeping with the Broadway Video brand,” the company said. While its specific programming plans haven’t been finalized, Broadway Video indicated that it would produce weekly short-form comedy series, along with topical videos. Content will be available in both Spanish and English. “We’re excited to work with Telemundo Digital and our other soon-to-be-announced distribution partners to provide a platform for the many talented Latino performers and creators here and abroad,” Broadway Video president Britta von Schoeler said. Peter Blacker, executive vice president of digital media and emerging business for NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, added, “Partnering with Broadway Video on this launch represents our first move into multiplatform comedy and should be very well-received by audiences and advertisers alike.” — — Mark Dante Senior Vice President Business Development Univision Communications Inc.
