Spanish-language broadcaster Liberman Broadcasting has picked up another station. TVNewsday reports an FCC filing shows Liberman has agreed to buy low-power KVPA in Phoenix for $1,250,000.
KVPA is owned by Latin American Broadcasting, a Spanish-language network which folded back in May after barely two years of operation.
Liberman Broadcasting is headed by Lenard Liberman, which also owns KRCA-62 in L.A., as well as stations in San Diego, Dallas and Houston.
These are aweful, AWEFUL news. As a guy living in L.A., I’m sadly familiar with the kind of content the Lieberman stations put out.
Channel 62:
Jose Luis sin censura – the latino version of Jerry Springer only raunchier and shamelessly staged.
Estudio 2 – Crude sex jokes and innuendo, women and bikinis dancing in cages.
Secretos – fictional, sick situations being portrayed as “reality TV” – often heavily relying on sex.
Alarma TV – An even yellower version of “Al Rojo Vivo” and “Primer Impacto”…the show is presented as a “News” cast, but the basic question they teach you in Journalism 101 are NEVER answered – Why, Where, What, When, How and Who.
I could go on…but what’s the point? What a shame!
