Univision’s new Detector de Mentiras (Lie Detector) is the first U.S.-based Spanish-language fact-checking project. The network launched the fact checker during Wednesday night’s Democratic debate.
Wednesday afternoon, Univision requested that AT&T continue to distribute its signal to AT&T’s U-Verse subscribers for 24 hours immediately following the conclusion of Wednesday night’s Washington Post-Univision Democratic Presidential Debate. Univision said it “is hopeful that AT&T will show good faith in the parties’ ongoing [retransmission consent] negotiations by treating Univision’s top-rated Hispanic content on par with its English-language broadcasting counterparts in order for the companies to continue to collaborate in serving the growing U.S. Hispanic community.”
Univision has agreed to temporarily lift its blackout of AT&T U-verse so that the service’s Spanish-language viewers would have access to Wednesday night’s Democratic presidential debate.
Two months out from the presentations, it’s shaping up as a good year for Spanish-language TV. Though the Hispanic upfront usually wraps up after the English-language broadcast networks are done, the Spanish-language upfront often breaks first.
Don Francisco, former host of Univision’s Saturday night mainstay Sabado Gigante, has set a wide-ranging pact with rival Telemundo to serve as a senior news correspondent and to launch a production venture.
ESPN Deportes may have had just six weeks in which to line up advertisers for its Spanish-language simulcast of Super Bowl 50, but with the Panthers and Broncos set to kick off in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, buyers say el Gran Juego is sold out.
