Univision is the only network where you pay for more, not for less.
Last night was an incredible night for network television, with more people tuning in than on any night in more than three years.
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 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.
Put simply, my vision for AOL is to build the largest and most sophisticated global advertising network while we grow the size and engagement of our worldwide audience.
Univision's close-to-50-year relationship with Hispanics makes us one of the leading media brands in this country and the gateway to connect with this consumer.
We've already amassed the ratings equivalent of a Super Bowl and we still have two weeks to go. Sunday night has become the toughest night on TV, and it speaks to the power of the Olympics that they bring so many additional viewers to the television, who otherwise wouldn't be watching.
We're reaching people in a big way on all these platforms.
We continue to expand our audience, reaching them everywhere they consume media on cable and online.
We're delivering a great event that will last 17 days. Even with a 12 to 14 rating in prime time, that's the equivalent of having six Super Bowls.
We give ABC a lot of credit for a really effective strategic stunt.
It's really impossible to compare this to Salt Lake City.
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.
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.
