Thank you, Clemenseando! That’s just the kind of information I couldn’t find (and yes, traffic stats are always a point of dispute).

I know that the various regional syndication agreements between networks are running into static as the owners choose to or not to distribute online. It just seems that you’d want to renegotiate those contracts to everyone’s satisfaction sooner rather than later — because fans will begin to distribute that content for you.

Hello,

You mention Univision is “not taking advantage” of its Web site to showcase their content outside the U.S. Well, at least, in the case of their most popular programming they can’t. Univision’s entire primetime and much of the rest of their airtime consists of shows (mostly telenovelas) from the Mexican broadcaster Televisa. The two networks are locked in a legal dispute over online transmission rights, among other issues.

Best,
Clemenseando

PS You might want to double-check the traffic stats as I believe Yahoo!Telemundo actually has more page views than Univision.com.
