I think this is the one of the absolutely, unquestionably best threads GAF has produced in a while. Some A+ material here.
This is one of the greatest GIFs ever. El Chacal was the fucking boss.
What!? Holy shit. That's like a player from the Yankees going to the Red Sox, or from Ohio State to Michigan, or from Real Madrid to Barcelona, etc etc.
My mom was legitimately sad during the broadcast of the last show.
This is an amazing gif. BUT, but... Is Thalia in this telenovela? No!? Then it's some D-tier shit
I hadn't watched Cristina in about a decade and a half.
I always thought Primer Impacto's stories were trashy as hell. But man, were their "news" readers always smoking hot.

Meet the new face of Kotaku
Actually, I think he's with Telemundo now.

At last, Hamilton Nolan's squats will pay off in Gawker's edition of Primer Impacto
Univision, though. Who would've thunk?

Isn't Televisa still bigger? Unless you are talking US-only.
it would be smart to branch out. i wonder how many hispanic millenials are tuning in to univision.
speaking of that is jackie guerrido still doing the weather?

Daily reminder that Peter Thiel is human garbage and thinks America went downhill because blacks and women got the right to vote.

Job losses will be minimal (5% reduction at most), they'll keep their current offices, and the WGA East union contract will be honored. So there's that.

So... How does this affect Kotaku?
I take it that you refer to Futbal as soccer or don't have a wife or girlfriend who's really into soap operas outside of America.
Univision is a big network outside of North America and has better reach in here than BBC.

Univision's HQ is in NYC.
They probably live in a hole or on the other side of the world.

I can't even remember what slowpoke was called in spanish, but I hope they keep the slowtaku joke

Nice to see all my Latin American primos come out the woodwork.
Need some Jorge Ramos in this bitch, I'll take his opinions on No Mans Sky from now on.
They've been trash since day one dude. Pretty sure I remember their premier from a long time ago after the news but before las novelas.
They came back from a commercial break leading into a story with "le amputaron el pene" and I was like yeah I see what y'all are about.

Humm na
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's their thinking. When they acquired the Onion it was clear they were making a fairly aggressive English language media push.
What in the world. She's at the back wheel, somehow slams into the middle of the car and then spins in the direction the car is going.
I'm so confused.
No. Whole company.

These right here. Hulk Hogan's sex tape I can agree being a bad move from Gawker, but the ENTIRE situation boils down to a rich guy with a vendetta against a publication for being outed while publicly supporting ultraconservative and anti-gay causes. Gawker's bankruptcy was a successful revenge plot, not a publication brought to justice.

Spanish friction.
Pretty big for awhile in Texas. On that note, Sabado Gigante stopped airing?
Gawker's bankruptcy was a result of their own actions, both before and during the trial.
The only plotting Thiel did was fund Hogan's case.

135 for everything? we should've pooled our money and get Kotaku for a few bucks.

I don't know, I haven't watched Univision in quite some time. Instead, I will leave you with some quality journalistic research work from Ninja Scooter:
GAWKer indeed
I got a good chuckle put of your post. Yup, I remember those were the kind of "news stories" they would go for.
Not as many as they would like. Their TV business if mostly older watchers. But, millenials, of all races, consume tons of video on their social media platforms but, there's no good model to monetize it just yet.

Univision sites are the same as Gawker so yea it's a win for them, maybe not for us though

Holy hell. I take it this is all broadcast in Mexico?GAWKer indeed
Man, I always hated when my mom took over the TV to watch soap operas when I was young. If it was like this I would be there every day watching with her. Holy crap, that was crazy.
Gold! This brings back so many memories, my grandma used to watch this telenovela all the time.

You serious? Univision is very well known in the US. Between Mexico sharing a very large border and Spanish being far and away the second most spoken language here, I would think that should be obvious. I don't know what their reach is in Canada, but they're certainly a big deal in the US.
