OTHER STORIES IN THIS ISSUE:
David Archuleta on Top
David Archuleta, the first Hispanic contestant to make it as a finalist on American Idol, talks to PEOPLE en Espanol about his newfound fame, how he almost did not make it, and his plans for the future. “I’ve always imagined myself on stage,” says Archuleta, who at 17-years-old, placed second, after David Cook, on the hit reality show series.
Even after millions of votes and his “Archie” fan club, he still remains humble. “I thought nobody liked to hear me sing,” says Archuleta. However, his accomplishments are nothing short of a miracle. About a year and a half ago, Archuleta received medical treatment for paralysis in his vocal cords. “The doctor said there is somebody up there who wants him to sing because, medically speaking, he should not be able to,” says Archuleta’s father.
He’s now gearing up for the American Idols Live! Tour 2008 and will also start recording his first album as a solo artist. “I feel a connection when I hear other people singing. If I can accomplish that, it would make me feel so good,” says Archuleta. (Page 143)

July 30, 2008Comcast Expands Spanish-Language Coverage of the 2008 Democratic National Convention
Filed under [ Media ] [ Politics ] [ Press Releases ] [ Election 2008 ] [ Language Issues ]
Tags: basketball, democratic national convention, Entravision, Spanish-language, telefutura, Univision
As part of the partnership, Comcast will provide Spanish-language translation services for content and programming from the Democratic National Convention, which will give Entravision up to eight hours of content per day to air across its network of radio and television stations and stream on its websites.
In addition, Comcast Latino, the online destination for Latinos, will stream video content of the Democratic National Convention on its popular site, Comcast.terra.com, which is powered by Terra.com. Terra is the largest original digital content producer for U.S. Hispanics and includes 29 channels in Spanish featuring News, Music, Entertainment, Sports and Terra TV, as well as community areas, blogs and services. Terra.com has 2.6 million unique viewers in the U.S. per month.
“We are excited about this partnership with Entravision and Comcast Latino to provide this important content in Spanish to Latinos across the country,” said David L. Cohen, Executive Vice President, Comcast Corporation. “Many more Latinos will now have the opportunity to be a part of the electoral process and experience the messages conveyed during the Democratic National Convention.”
“The translation and technology services offered by Comcast and Entravision will play an important role in equipping our citizens with the tools to more fully participate in the Convention,” said U.S. Senator Ken Salazar. “For communities who have not engaged in the political process due to language barriers, this partnership provides a tremendous community service.”
“Entravision is pleased to be partnering with Comcast to provide this valuable content to the Latino community,” said Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Entravision. “We are committed to encouraging the Latino community to become engaged in the political process and providing information from the Democratic National Convention through our outlets will allow the messages to reach hundreds of thousands of Spanish-language radio listeners and TV viewers.”
Last month, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) announced that Comcast Corporation will produce simultaneous, online streaming coverage of the Convention in Spanish at DemConvention.com and make available a broad range of Convention content through its signature video on demand service. The DNCC also announced that Comcast has been named the Convention’s Official Cable Television and Video-On-Demand (VOD) provider. The 2008 Democratic National Convention will run from Monday, August 25, until Thursday, August 28, in Denver, Colorado.
“From day one, we set out to make this year’s Convention different – one that is more accessible to the American people and more inclusive of our Party’s ‘big tent,’” said Leah D. Daughtry, CEO of the Democratic National Convention Committee. “Working with Comcast to expand the reach of our unprecedented Spanish language simulcast is yet another example of how we are throwing open the doors of this Convention and bringing all Americans into this historic experience.”

Going beyond their journalistic duties, Univision “Aqui y Ahora” correspondent Victor Hugo Saavedra and photographer Jorge Solino were the first to arrive to this devastated region and not only gave a voice to the victims of this disaster known as “the forgotten ones,” but also transported injured civilians to safety when neither government officials nor humanitarian aide had yet to arrive.
“We are extremely honored to once again receive this recognition from The Academy,” said Alina Falcon, executive vice president and operating manager, Univision Network. “‘Aqui y Ahora’s’ first on-the-scene coverage of this devastating natural disaster not only exemplifies our commitment to excellence in journalism, but also our commitment to coverage of issues and events that are most important to our viewers.”

As part of the partnership, the mayors will participate in public service announcements (PSAs) to run on Univision, Univision Radio and Univision.com (Keyword: Ya es Hora), which will support local grassroots activities taking place in their communities. In addition, Univision will also launch new PSAs focused on informing its audiences about absentee voting.
“The fact that today we are able to engage the mayors of cities with large Hispanic populations in this effort means that we will be able to further enhance our reach and mobilize our community,” said Cesar Conde, executive vice president and chief strategy officer, Univision Communications Inc. “Hispanics will be instrumental in electing the next president of the United States and we are committed to doing our part to empower this important constituency.”
”Our ability to ensure our constituents are informed and able to participate in local, state and national elections is critical,” said Mayor Diaz. ”One of our priorities at the U.S. Conference of Mayors is promoting civic engagement which makes the partnership between the mayors of these Hispanic cities, Univision and the ‘Ya es Hora’ partnership crucial to our efforts.”
“We have seen unprecedented engagement by Hispanics in the primaries because of the ‘Ya es Hora’ campaign,” said Arturo Vargas, executive director of the NALEO Educational Fund, a national “Ya es Hora” partner. “This speaks to the power of ongoing outreach and information efforts. Most importantly, it once again highlights the commitment of Hispanics across the country to become active, and have a voice, in their communities.”
“In the last few months we have had thousands of Hispanics become naturalized citizens in the Los Angeles area because of the ‘Ya Es Hora’ campaign,” said Mayor Villaraigosa. “By helping these new citizens, as well as any other eligible voters to register to vote, we will increase participation at the polls and enhance civic participation, which is vital in a thriving democracy.”
“Latinos comprise a powerful and growing segment of voters in America,” said San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. “In this day and age, candidates for the most powerful offices in the country know that to win, they must appeal to Latinos. Thanks to the great work of Univision and NALEO on the ‘Ya es Hora’ campaign, I expect Latinos to flood the polls this November and play a major role in deciding who becomes the next President of the United States.”
The Peabody award-winning “Ya es Hora” initiative is a national civic engagement campaign developed to inform, educate and motivate Hispanics to participate in the American political dialogue by leveraging the power of a coalition of the nation’s largest and most established Hispanic organizations and the country’s largest Spanish-language media companies. Since January 2007, the campaign has mobilized close to 1.4 million eligible immigrants to apply for citizenship, secured more than 400 local community based organizations as partners, generated more than 40,000 calls to the 888-Ve-Y-Vota toll free number, driven more than 94,000 unique visits to www.yaeshora.info, distributed more than 110,000 brochures and conducted more than 200 citizenship workshops. Univision, the NALEO Educational Fund, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), National Council of La Raza, ImpreMedia, Entravision Communications, Mi Familia Vota Educational Fund and more than 400 organizations are partners in this effort.
About the NALEO Educational Fund:
The NALEO Educational Fund is the leading nonprofit organization that facilitates the full participation of Latinos in the American political process, from citizenship to public service.

The group held a meeting with Arbitron on June 6, 2008 during which they advocated the importance of properly evaluating the Hispanic audience measurement capabilities and effectiveness of Arbitron’s PPM before its full-scale implementation.
Representing the major Spanish-language broadcasters were Raul Alarcon, Jr., chief executive officer and president of Spanish Broadcasting Systems; Gary Stone, president and chief operating officer of Univision Radio; Jeffery Liberman, president of Entravision’s radio division; and Jeff Hinson, president and chief executive officer of Border Media Partners. Senator Robert Menendez (D-New Jersey) also attended the meeting to support the group’s strong concerns, and he reminded Arbitron’s chief executive officer Steve Morris that PPM will not only affect Spanish-language broadcasters but every Hispanic in the country.
“Ensuring that the next generation of audience measurement is accurately developed, tested, accredited, and ultimately accepted by the entire radio industry, is of critical importance,” said Alarcon. “The Hispanic population in the U.S. is growing rapidly and becoming more influential, while Spanish-language radio is becoming one of the most popular formats in the country. With that in mind, Arbitron must take the necessary steps towards understanding the impact this audience measurement tool will have on one of the industry’s most important constituencies.”
“Hispanic buying power is growing substantially and was estimated to be in excess of $840 billion dollars in the United States in 2007. Based on this growth, it is extremely important that Arbitron ensures sound methodology and representation of Hispanics,” added Liberman. “We urge Arbitron not to move forward with the rollout of PPM until all ethnic broadcasters are satisfied that the principles of fair market representation are being fulfilled.”
“We are 100% committed to ensuring accountability to advertisers, viewers and partners,” said Ceril Shagrin, executive vice president, Corporate Research Division, Univision Communications Inc. “However, this means we need to have accurate and actionable data. It is imperative that Arbitron ensures PPM effectively measures all audience segments before implementation. Any inaccuracy will impact the entire industry as it will not be reliable or credible.”
As part of the meeting, the SRA highlighted several key issues with PPM that need to be addressed before moving forward with the rollout, including panel sample size, the increased response rates, accurately identifying and tracking panelists’ country of origin, improved language weighting, accurate cell phone-only representation, fair measurement when it comes to high-density Hispanic areas and sharing of more detailed sample information including meter placement according to zip codes, among others.
The group intends to meet regularly with Arbitron in an effort to ensure any sample includes accurate measurement of Hispanic audiences in all markets that will be launching PPM as currency.

Univision Launches Innovative DTV Grassroots Outreach Initiative “Escuadron Digital”
Filed under [ Business ] [ Media ] [ Press Releases ] [ Blogante Business ]
Tags: Fresno, magazine, outreach, radio, Spanish-language, telefutura, television, Univision
“Escuadrón Digital” will reach out directly to communities across the country through local events, DTV Town Hall meetings and by deploying street teams that visit community and senior centers and select homes. The “Escuadrones” (Squads) will help viewers determine if television sets are analog or digital, help with coupon applications, as well as assist with the purchase and installation of converter boxes.
“Univision is the champion of Hispanic America. In this role we recognize that it is key to inform and motivate our viewers to take action on DTV as early as possible and ensure a smooth transition,” said Cesar Conde, executive vice president and chief strategy officer, Univision Communications Inc. “‘Escuadrón Digital’ builds on an extremely successful campaign to date, leverages our understanding and connection to our viewers and adds a personal approach to our awareness efforts.”
As part of the “Escuadrón Digital” effort, Univision is creating a national group that features Carlos Calderón, host of Galavisión’s “Acceso Máximo” (All Access), as the squad captain and an analog-to-digital ‘geek’ who will give viewers a digital analysis of their homes; Tony Dandrades, from Univision’s popular newsmagazine show “Primer Impacto” (First Impact), as the converter box tech who will demonstrate how to install converter boxes; digi diva Lilia Rodriguez Luciano from TeleFutura’s “Escandalo TV” (ShowBiz TV), who will help a selected viewer purchase an appropriate converter box; and the beloved Martica from “El Gordo y La Flaca” (The Scoop and the Skinny) who will help the squad get ready for their “missions” with her delicious coffee. These efforts will be replicated at the local level by the Univision Television Group.
The footage from the squad’s missions and assignments will premiere in July 2008 as part of “TV Digital…Estas Preparado?” (Digital TV…Are you ready?), a Univision Network special. Some of the squad’s assignments will also be featured in 30-second vignettes that will air on the network through February 2009. The “Escuadrón Digital” initiative also includes in-program education segments in national shows, national radio public service announcements (PSA’s) and a dedicated microsite on Univision.com (Uniclave: TV Digital) with comprehensive information and links to the coupon application program.
Univision launched the first and most aggressive, multi-media digital transition awareness campaign in October 2007. Since the campaign’s launch, Univision has aired DTV specials, covered the issue through local and national news and public affairs programs and has hosted interactive events across the nation to facilitate the DTV transition process for Hispanics. Additionally, Univision worked with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) on educational efforts which include a toll-free information hotline with Spanish-language capability to handle questions regarding the DTV conversion. In addition, the company has conducted numerous town hall meetings and events in cities including Chicago, San Francisco, Fresno and Dallas, reaching thousands of individuals.
“We are very grateful for the recognition from the National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation and for the partnership with NAB, NTIA and the FCC,” added Conde. “At Univision we remain strongly committed to ensuring that every household in the country is informed and prepared for the DTV transition.”
The switch from analog TV to DTV began in 1996, when the U.S. Congress authorized the assignment of an additional broadcast channel to each TV broadcaster in order to introduce DTV service while simultaneously continuing analog TV broadcasts. In addition to improved picture and sound quality, DTV allows broadcasters to transmit multiple program streams. DTV technology also reduces the amount of spectrum needed nationwide for television broadcasting, freeing up broadcast spectrum for public safety and new wireless services. The FCC requires that all full-power television stations cease analog broadcasting on February 17, 2009.”*

Medico plans to be a provider of direct-to-consumer Medicare reimbursed medical products focused exclusively on chronic diseases afflicting the rapidly growing Hispanic community in the United States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. It is the only company positioned to serve this growing market segment as a direct-to-consumer Medicare provider on a national level.
“DRG is uniquely equipped with the targeted marketing expertise and operational capabilities to provide a valuable service to this growing and largely underserved Hispanic population,” explained Melissa K. Rice, CEO of Dynamic Response Group. “We are working with experts in the field to ensure that we reach our goal of providing convenience and quality of service to these individuals, so that they can get back to living their lives.”
Medico is committed to identifying critical care products that improve its customers’ quality of life, and delivering these products directly to their homes in a timely manner as prescribed by their primary care physicians. The Company will make Medicare and Medicaid fully accessible to the Hispanic community by eliminating the perceived bureaucratic roadblocks, upfront payment considerations and legitimate language barriers for obtaining benefits for the elderly and disabled.
In Phase II, DRG plans to leverage its core competencies to develop and implement a multi-channel strategy for Medico Express; it will combine the establishment of relationships with affinity groups, healthcare providers and community outreach programs, and will position Medico to achieve significantly higher rates of penetration at a significantly cheaper rate than its Anglo counterparts, while simultaneously providing an important social benefit to its client base. The Company will be testing the program on Univision, Telemundo and Telefutura in key Hispanic Medicare consumer markets. “*

(Photo: www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080527/LATU087)From the delightfully eccentric imagination of Mexico’s premier comic, Eugenio Derbez (La Misma Luna), LA FAMILIA P. LUCHE explores real-life circumstances in completely outrageous settings, all the while delivering big laughs. Derbez stars alongside Consuelo Duval (”El Privilegio de Mandar”, “La Hora Pico”), Regina Blandon (”Hospital el Paisa”), Miguel Perez (”Codigo Postal”), Luis Manuel Avila (”La Fea mas Bella”), and Barbara Torres (”Hospital el Paisa”).
Media Life Magazine reported in 2006 that LA FAMILIA P. LUCHE was “Telefutura’s most watched show among kids”; this overwhelming popularity has resulted in a theatrical feature, scheduled for release later this year.
The single-disc, Spanish-language DVD will be available at all major retail and online stores with a suggested retail price of $14.98. (High resolution cover attached).
SYNOPSIS:
“La Familia P. Luche” (The Plush Family) reflects the experiences of a typical Mexican family-living in a highly improbable world. The members consist of housewife Federica, henpecked husband Ludovico, Ludoviquito, the wily youngest child, Junior, a grown man the family has “adopted”, Bibi, the misfit daughter, and their maid, Exelsa, all of whom wear plushy clothes, drive plushy cars, and live in a soft, fuzzy, bouncy universe. Enjoy the misadventures of this hilariously bizarre family as they stumble their way through the cartoon reality known as Ciudad Peluche. “La Familia P. Luche” is just like real life, yet totally ridiculous — and a whole lot funnier!LA FAMILIA P. LUCHE
