Where have all the US Hispanic focused TV companies disappeared to?
May 17, 2019
Taking stroll down the US Hispanic advertising & marketing memory lane, we decided to list all the Hispanic focused TV companies or networks that existed or have existed over the last 20 years in our Industry.
Some are still going strong and others, the future will decide. But one things is for sure, change in inevitable.
- Did the change of buying responsibilities from Hispanic focused agencies to multi-national buying services help cull the herd?
- Did many of these companies just become smaller units inside major mainstream TV companies with very little dedicated resources?
- Did their programming options just not deliver?
- Did the cookie-cutter media buy philosophy reduce the number of ingredients or options?
- Did Hispanic and mainstream buying agencies become lazy and want a less complicated media mix?
- Did the elimination of a dedicated Nielsen Hispanic TV ratings book to hopefully get more mainstream buys with the belief that this would level the playing filed play a part?
- Did mianstream TV companies and networks become a better alternative to reach US Hispanic viewers?

- America TV
