NYTV 107 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Per the trade publication Media Moves, Spanish-language Estrella TV'S O&O KRCA channel 62, has laid off its entire news department and will instead have México-based Multimedios produced newscasts. Estrella had also closed down their Dallas hub previously. https://www.mediamoves.com/2022/03/estrella-tv-lays-off-staff-outsources-local-newscasts-to-mexico.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankees4life 529 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Bankruptcy Part II Electric Boogaloo for Estrella IMO. They really don't have a chance really to stay on. Azteca threw in the towel US-wise for a reason. Soon Estrella will learn why too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 2050 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 More work for Multimedios/Milenio for the LA area; they already produce and broadcast some shows on KWHY, so now technically in the news sense, they've got a duopoly. There is just no more room in the market for the no-effort Spanish networks that have clogged cable dials when you've got much better Spanish product from Latin America, the Philippines and Spain coming in and much easier to access on English services (along with one-button English caption access for those who speak both), and a desperate need for news services that aren't just 'let's recap the car accidents and murders that happened today'. Spanish speakers deserve much better than the American networks are giving them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
