Disney, Univision in talks to create 24 news channel for Latinos.

SOURCE: Huffington Post

MIAMI -- Univision and Disney are in talks to create a 24-hour news channel for Latinos in English, two sources close to the negotiations said Monday.

Both sources declined to go on the record because they were not authorized to speak.

The goal would be to begin broadcasting before the November presidential election. That would give the network plenty of time to provide political coverage geared toward Hispanics, who are considered influential swing voters in states like Florida, New Mexico and Colorado.

This is excellent news, we needed a counter balance! It was revealed in January that Rupert Murdoch/News Corp were creating the right wing spanish version of Fox News.

Second only to Fox "News."

Still, a conservatively biased channel is preferable to a conservative propaganda channel, which is what the Fox Spanish channel will certainly be.
