Univision expands news programming

by

Beginning April 28, the Univision O&O’s in Los Angeles (KMEX), Miami (WLTV), New York(WXTV) and Sacramento (KUVS) will add another hour of morning news programming. The stations, which currently air news between 5 and 7 am, will also produce news from 7 to 8 am… but on Telefutura.

The news expansion takes advantage of the duopolies in those cities. By adding the news hour on Telefutura, the local stations will not interrupt “Despierta América,” which runs from 7 to 10 am.
