I dont believe its been talked about on here. But ABC NEWS and UNIVISION, which is American Spanish Language network. Launch a news and information channel. Initially the talk was that it was going to be geared more toward English-speaking young Latinos. Well focus shifted before launch and they now aiming to speak to youths across the spectrum, still with a Latino focus (or something like that). Anyway the channel is headquartered in Miami sharing a facility I beleive with UNIVISION. They are created a large open newsroom and several sets surrounding the newsroom. I have the channel but dont watch. They sets are interesting but a little OTT. I dont like the channel content. Viral video, pop stuff. blah blah blah.
Have a look

I dont get the point of the channel. I frankly cant see this working long term. Youth-focused news channels have been tried and havent really taken off. But with the mainstream news channels doing pop culture stuff now and viral videos and discussing crap endlessly, I dont see where this channel will take off. They dont cover breaking news persay. So i dont really get it. I feel it a bit jaring to hear english being spoken and then suddenly the adverts are in spanish. I dont know...I'll just say the whole experiment is interesting albeit expensive venture.
