Noticed this paragraph in a story about the Univision sale:
Televisa, which owns 11.4 percent of Univision, has a programming deal with Univision that expires in 2017. But relations between the two have soured over program royalties and the rights to air Televisa’s shows online.
It sounds like Televisa wants more money for it’s programs, or it’ll sell it’s part of the network and look to get out of the deal. But we’ve got a while to go before that happens.
But what about “the rights to air Televisa shows online”? That sounds promising:
Despite complaints from Univision, Televisa plans to air its television programs over the Web in the United States once a provision in its 17-year deal with Univision expires in December.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Hmmm. (I won’t say it.)
Who the heck signs a 17 year deal, by the way?
This is lazy day speculating for a lazy day. I blame CMLL dropping the ball.
Digressing: If you haven’t been checking, Rudopolis did a big June update with *8* TV show recaps. Reading what’s actually airing helps fill in the gaps of what we’re hearing – like, apparently Brandon is the guy Gran Apache thinks is really Fabi Apache’s baby daddy. I had no idea.
