TeleFutura
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Infobox Network Telefutura is a Spanish-language television network owned by Univision with headquarters in Miami, Florida.
The network started on January 14, 2002 a month behind Telemundo's launch of its second network, the bilingual mun2, with programs such as the 3 hour gossip/Entertainment show Escandalo TV, designed to compete with similar offerings like Cotorreando from NBC Universal's Telemundo. The Spanish channel often has their commercials on Univision.
Telefutura has in its programming Venezuelan telenovelas from Coral Productions, RCTV, and game shows from Televisa and Venevision. The network also airs movies (mainly recent American releases dubbed into Spanish), boxing, Futbol Liga Mexicana broadcasts, news (including Contacto deportivo) and game shows (like Cien Mexicanos Dijeron).
In late 2005, Telefutura started a newscast at 7pm called En Vivo y Directo (opposite the taped 4pm news on Galavision).
There were rumors that Tribune Company would buy Telefutura from Univision Communications and creating duopolies in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Miami and Sacramento. As of 2006, this has not occurred.
