It's not fair to really compare this to a weekend sporting event that is traditionally carried live across all the time zones. People are available to see it at different times. This is 17 straight nights, many of them weekday nights, where people will not be available at 5 p.m. to watch the games.
The Olympics remain one of the biggest events on television. Despite this being the most competitive quarter I've seen in my 30 years in the television business, the Olympics continue to perform as they have throughout the past decade, compared to the current network television landscape.
It's really impossible to compare this to Salt Lake City.
The biggest segment of our audience is 18 to 34, and, believe it or not, they still speak Spanish, and they still watch novellas and soccer games and news.
I made the decision to end business relationships with the Trump Organization simply because it was the right thing to do. No one approached me, asked me or pressured me to take this action.
I haven't discussed this with Dick. But I suspect we'll go on that night and program it the way we normally would, using our best stuff, as we build toward midnight.
I'm very involved with all the executives at Televisa.
We're very comfortable with where we are. We're very comfortable with our projections.
Engagement means that in the future there will be a lot more ways for our audience to interact with Univision content.
This is about realizing that the Olympics is more than about network television now, and the future is about being a content provider. In the future, it's going to be about going deeper with audiences, of finding ways to satisfy people in different ways.
The Olympics really are much more than a sporting event It really is an entertainment event and in that sense, it brings to the set a much more diverse audience,
As a presidential candidate, Mr. Trump is going to get tough questions from the press and has to answer them.
Back in 1975, we were making all the decisions about what people were going to watch.
Televisa is the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world, and the steps we have taken, which extend the tenure of our exclusive access to Televisa's premium Spanish-language telenovelas, sports, sitcoms, reality series, news programs and feature films, put Univision in a stronger competitive position.
