Report: Why Univision Is a Teetering Giant

Dec 29, 2016  •  Post A Comment

A new report says Univision, which has been the dominant Spanish-language broadcaster in the U.S. for decades, is a “teetering giant,” saddled with a huge debt load and facing increased competition from NBC-owned Telemundo.

The report by Media Life, part of the publication’s series “Catching the next big wave: Hispanic media,” says Univision is “living through its own real-life telenovela,” with the end game apparently looming in a power struggle for control of the company that has been going on for decades.

“As in any heart-pumping telenovela, the drama is intense, personal and bitter, the characters larger than life,” the story reports. “It’s a story of vengeance and redemption. And the stakes are huge, and not just for the actors involved. They are big for Hispanic media, and indeed the entire media marketplace.”
