Move to Univisión

Since "Univisión" is used elsewhere in the encyclopedia, it makes sense to try and be consistent. I'm not sure if that means we should move this page, or rename the pertinent categories.... – Seancdaug 07:24, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Can you show me an official Univision page that calls it Univisión. Even though such a name technically should have that accent, if they don't use the accent, we don't use the accent. -- user:zanimum

Nope. That's why I asked. I've always seen it in its unaccented form. But my initial point remains: we should determine what the actual title of the network is and make sure both the article and the category use that title. Are there any objections to my going ahead and listing Category:Univisión television network at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion, then? – Seancdaug 04:20, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I've removed this page's entry from Wikipedia:Requested moves due to a lack of consensus on the move. If this changes, feel free to add another request. --Lox (t,c) 21:50, 20 January 2006 (UTC) Es mexicana o es de todos los latinos. ya esta bueno de tanta banda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.129.58 (talk) 10:11, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Sale status

I hear there is news coming up soon! John wesley 14:33, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

merging univision and univision.com

I don't think univision and Univision.com should be merged. I would actually think there should be separate entities for Univision Communications, Univision, and Univision.com. Univision is the name of the network, not the name of the company. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 38.112.47.130 (talk) 20:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

TPG Capital takes over Univision

Could we be talking about possible changes in its on-screen graphics such as promos, bumpers and potentially a new logo??? Not to mention, possible changes in the website!?!? How about realignment of its programs!?!? It's possible in situations like these... What do you think??? By the way, just a curious tought!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI MAR 30 2007 6:53 PM EDT

Univision needs not do anything, because it has a monopoly on Mexican viewers. Yakuman (数え役満) 23:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Potentially problematic tag re Haim Saban

This article tagged Saban as Jewish. Actually, if you look at his article he lives in California. Is the Jewish adjective intended to distinguish him from Muslims? Why do we identify people as Jews? I don't recall people mentioning Ted Turner's religion. Dogru144 05:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

El Chavo Animado move to Saturday Night

If "El Chavo Animado" will move to Saturday Nights before "Sabado Gigante" starting March 1st. What's this mean for "La Parodia"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.237.220.220 (talk) 18:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Translations

The program title translations need to be sourced, oh by the way. SamEV (talk) 22:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Something to note

Shouldn't it be noted that Univision ranks higher than the English broadcast network The CW in the Nielson ratings? ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 08:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it should. SamEV (talk) 21:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I (in Australia) only heard about this network through the Donald Trump story. I am kind of interested in the shift or drift to Latin culture and the Spanish language in the US. So it would have been interesting to see viewer figures, maybe of three years to show a trend. Here in Australia SBS's (ethnic broadcaster) Chinese news have a fantastic format. When they interview in English they have Chinese subtitles and when they interview in Chinese they have English subtitles. And when they then put it online, the subtitles are big enough to be read on the computer screen. Just an idea, I think it's a good one. 58.174.224.15 (talk) 06:04, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

What was the reason for the policy change?

Many of the shows that have been on Univision for years were suddenly censored. These changes also affected Galavision. I am referring to shows that have been in rerun for years, and were never censored until now. What was the reason for this? Anybody got the inside dope? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ray dood (talk • contribs) 16:06, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

That's a PHD topic. Very strange, censorship where we did not expect censorship and nobody dares to elaborate. 58.174.224.15 (talk) 06:07, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Schedules

I have restored the prime-time schedule to this article. While WP:NOT specifies that Wikipedia is not a TV Guide, it does make an exception for a nationwide network's prime-time schedule. Also, keep in mind that the English networks' schedules exist in their articles, with no opposition. -- azumanga (talk) 03:08, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I oppose those too, now that it has been brought to my attention.

WP:NOTDIR says: "historically significant programme lists and schedules (such as the annual United States network television schedules) may be acceptable" (emphasis added), but what's "historically significant"? It doesn't contain the word "prime-time" anywhere, but in Archive 16, User:Bearcat claims that "the base schedule, at least for prime-time programming, is permitted". IMHO, precisely when each TV network aired each show each season is not historically significant, but if it is/were, you'd have to dedicate a separate page to every season's schedule, for easy reference in the future, and not just post the current schedule, which changes from time to time. — Magnus Holmgren (talk) 19:29, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Schedules are not allowed except for in a list. Please see section below about clean-up necessary. In a normal article, programs are discussed paragraph style with a link like

• Please see List of programs broadcast by Fox below the appropriate header.

Even then, on a list page, it has to follow WP:NOT - Wikipedia is not a TVGuide. If programs do not have an article, red wikilinks should not be introduced. --Morenooso (talk) 06:05, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Familia P.luche

Isn't the the Familia P.Luche in prime time too? i thought it was on Saturdays right before Sábado Gigante. This show is in 16:9 1080i HD

La Hora Pico

it was been on the Univision lineup since 2001, where did it go? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.189.21.176 (talk) 03:54, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Clean-up necessary (good to know info for other regular editors)

There are a number of nonstandard edits going on to this article that violate the Manual of Style.

• The first and most glaring is a TVGuide type section. No other article on a major network has wiki-tables like this. This type table is appropriate in a list like this one: List of programs broadcast by Fox.
• Non-referenced items are being added to this article. If this article is to ever be cleaned up, citations are necessary.
• Overlinkage - items should only be linked once in an article except when in an infobox.
• Red wikilinks - In most articles, one or two red wikilinks to non-existant articles is permissable. This article has more red wikilinks than just about article I follow.
• Nonstandard formatting - bolding as in the wiki-tables (which should be removed immediately - if not by another editor by me in two days) is not permitted. Bolding should be used sparingly.
• Usage of Spanish - MOS permits names as they are written in their native language. However, unless an item is a direct quote or a proper noun, Spanish is not this wiki's language. Ultimas semanas is a good example (but that's in a wiki-table that should be removed any way). The logo is permitted but should be referenced.
• Citations - any time an item is added to the article, it should involve a reliable source citation for other editors and ultimately Wikipedia readers to follow. Original thought is being added.

These are just some of the problems present in this article. I request other regular editors to enforce Wikipedia standards in cleaning up this article. --Morenooso (talk) 05:53, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Additionally this talkpage can use clean-up. Only comments directed towards improving the article as per the talkerheader at the top of this page should be permitted.

Editors making a comment on this talkpage need to sign their comments with --~~~~ (four tildes). --Morenooso (talk) 06:00, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Please take an ongoing interest in this article. I'll chip in if you do. SamEV (talk) 06:20, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer of help. I have but it's hard keeping up with some of these anonymous IP's. It would very to get this article to where it rated C on the quality scale. --Morenooso (talk) 06:26, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

C? Is it that bad? Now I'm worried.

Nah. It'll be a piece of cake. And LOL at Lone Ranger! SamEV (talk) 06:46, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Clean up will commence tomorrow. Wikipedia is not the TVGuide. As per the original clean up recommendations and that wikilink daily TV listings are not allowed into the article. --Morenooso (talk) 04:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

We are starting to make headway on this article. I would be willing to hear what other regular editors think need to be done. --Morenooso (talk) 03:28, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

But, since I am on a roll:

• SUGGESTION #1 - Look at all statements that seek a citation. If it has been more than six months and no has come forth to cite them, they should be removed. --Morenooso (talk) 03:49, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
• SUGGESTION #2 - Remove red wikilinks and non-standard formatting. --Morenooso (talk) 06:14, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do in the next, oh, 36 hours. SamEV (talk) 21:54, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Great. It appears another user attempted to re-insert the tables. Wikipedia is not the TVGuide. --Morenooso (talk) 00:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

And 13 years later the quality of the article is still terrible. It is unreadable. The lack of structure makes it impossible to navigate the enormous amount of information. There are sentences that are so long they would make Marcel Proust blush with shame. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:0:0:0:24 (talk) 17:28, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

/* External links */ question

Hello, I have a page on my website dedicated to Univision, which includes information about what Channel Univision is broadcast on, list of popular shows, list of related tv stations, whether Univision is broadcast in HD, and which Dish Network channel packages include Univision. I think much of my content is of interest to readers of the Wikipedia page, so I'd like to ask you to reconsider and allow my link? http://www.expertsatellite.com/dish-tv/univision.html Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.104.4.38 (talk) 03:35, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Is this a page you created? --Morenooso (talk) 03:37, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

English Subtitles

I deleted: Univision's major programming is closed captioned in Spanish, but unlike main competitor Telemundo, it almost never provides English subtitles in the CC3 form, except for its Sunday night program Mira Quien Baila., as it is simply not true. I watch Univision in cc3 and a great deal of their programming has English subtitles. "Eva Luna", the televised debate on immigration, and the interview with Barak Obama are some examples, but they are not the only ones. Furthermore, 'almost never' are weasel words, and the citation listed is 12 years old. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.112.47.130 (talk) 20:58, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

• Why didn't you explain this in an edit summary? Why do I have to follow your edits around to find an explanation? Drmies (talk) 23:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

The English CC of Univision has lot of problem. I am watching " Shelter of love" now and can't understand at all. The subtitle is way too off. Telemundo is doing better on the part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.39.14.79 (talk) 00:18, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

I thought I was the only one... it looks like they need to learn how to master the English language and the Spanish grammar, their real weaknesses. Platinum Star (talk) 00:29, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

References

Old Sitcom in both languages?

Either Univision or Telemundo once aired a family sitcom using both English and Spanish. In either case, if the lead in was in one language, the punch line was in the other! So if the lead in was in English, the punch line was in Spanish and vice versa. On one hand it seemed quite clever. On the other, frustrating to an audience with a knowledge of only one of the two languages - you either understood the lead in or you understood the punch line. You had to guess at the rest! Don't see it listed in either article. Student7 (talk) 15:37, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Can you give an idea of when that show aired? It might be easier to locate it with that info. Also, it seems more like something that Telemundo would do. SamEV (talk) 02:03, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Viewership numbers

"It has the largest audience of Spanish-language television viewers in the world according to Nielsen ratings"

Are we sure about that???? The channel broadcasts in the US and Puerto Rico only, surely that limits it's potential viewership compared to networks in countries where Spanish is the national/predominant language like Spain and the Latin Americas. Fry1989 ^eh? 01:07, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

This kind of statement (even if true at some moment) can quickly become false. Thus a dated past tense should be used. "As of . . . was . . . ." It seemed to me in the past that Telemundo had a much large world audience, if we count all the Telemundo telenovelas that are aired around the globe and even possibly dubbed in other languages, like Russian, Arabic, & French.

The date 1993 for the beginning of the 4-color logo is wrong, this 1991 video (at 1:12) shows that the logo was used back then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntDr0NbtR3E — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.186.69.48 (talk) 17:40, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Article should be revised using a dated past tense, not present tense.

Present tense statements are very likely to soon become false. For example, "Univision is the largest Hispanic TV network." Maybe in 1 month Azteca gets bigger or Telemundo. Say, "As of [date], Univision was the largest." It is noted that the 1st paragraph has only 1 citation to a undated dead link. (PeacePeace (talk) 03:15, 12 January 2019 (UTC))
