NBC isn’t the only network that abandoned the upfront format, only to announce a return to it this year, B&C reports.
Univision Communications, which opted out last year in favor of regional meetings, is scheduling a full presentation during upfront week, on Thursday, May 20, the same day as The CW.
B&C says the Spanish-language network, which this year hosts the World Cup, is targeting more mainstream advertisers; the network is hoping the upcoming census numbers will also persuade more marketers to come on board.
