Milestones in Spanish-Language Television

Some milestones in Spanish-language television to report today.

The Business Journal publications report today that Spanish-language television leader Univision's local news broadcast on KUVS in Sacramento, California has beat out all English-language news in the market during weeknights (6:00 and 11:00 pm broadcasts) throughout February with audiences under 50 years old.

Univision local news has reached this milestone in a number of other markets including Los Angeles and Miami and other television markets with high Hispanic density.

This is another reminder of the growing reach and influence of Spanish-language media, even while an English-dominant Hispanic television audience continues to grow.
