Univision Renews Cox Deal, Brushes Off PPM
Posted by iTVX Staff on June 25th, 2009
This week’s news from Univision might be categorized as “the good, the (sort of) bad, and the ugly,” as the national Hispanic TV network announced new, expanded deals for carriage with Cox Communications; projected more revenue declines in the second quarter, but smaller than previously feared; and escalated its high-profile dispute with radio ratings firm Arbitron over its new electronic measurement service. Taking the good news first, Univision said Wednesday that it has signed a multi-year agreement with Cox Communications renewing a deal for carriage of Univision broadcast and cable content, including broadcast nets Univision and TeleFutura and its cable property Galavision. The deal covers affiliated stations owned by Entravision Communications and Equity Media Holdings; it also provides for the launch of a new VOD service, Univision on Demand.
