Español On Demand
The popular Spanish-language channel, Univision will be launching an extension of Univision Now with content not only from the broadcaster’s programming library, but Viacom and BBC as a subscription based video service. The service will cost $2.99 per month if you currently have access to cable TV. For access to live and on-demand content you pay only $8 per month, which is still cheaper than most current subscription based video platforms.
For those unfamiliar, Univision is an American Spanish-language broadcast television network that is owned by Univision Communications. The network's programming is aimed at Hispanic Americans and includes telenovelas, dramas, sportscasts, sitcoms, reality, news programming, and imported films.
Currently, Univision is headquartered in New York City and has its major studios, production facilities, and business operations based in Doral, Florida.
The original iteration of the branch debuted a few years ago to attempt to reach mobile device users, and according to Tonia O’Connor, CRO for Univision, “Since then, what we came to realize is that they (the customer base) can’t get enough of the content on an on-demand basis.” Also, “You should think of this as the Netflix for Spanish-language content. That is what we are building.”
Univision is also planning to partner with multiple other online companies an social platforms such as: Facebook, Snapchat, & Netflix. For advertisers, Univision will unveil the ad suite: Aperture. This will allow for precision targeted data and will also include Campaign Builder: a self-serve programmatic ad platform designed to measure the impact of campaigns.
Currently the release date of this service is still TBA.

THIS WINTER’S SPANISH SERIES TO BINGE
As the weather cools, the temptation to grab a blanket, chocolate caliente, and remote is undeniable. Luckily, there is a Spanish series to binge that you will absolutely love.
Netflix’s first original Spanish drama Cable Girls (Las Chicas Del Cable) will be premiering the 2nd season on December 25th for your binging pleasure, so get that GrubHub order out of queue, and check out why 97% of Google users love this show.
Las Chicas Del Cable stars Lidia - Blanca Suárez, Marga - Nadia de Santiago, Carlota -Ana Fernández, and Ángeles - Maggie Civantos as telephone operators in 1920s Madrid and follows their fight for the right to work.
Comparably, one could classify this Spanish series as a cross between the reboot of The Great Gatsby and Mad Men from a stylistic standpoint. If you’re more familiar with Spanish media, however, it is worth noting that Cable Girls is produced by Bambú Producciones, the creative team behind Velvet and Gran Hotel, if that gives you a better idea of the aesthetic.
Since Netflix's expanse to Spain in 2015, Cable Girls has been in production since 2016 so if you haven’t checked it out yet, be prepared to spend your day in enjoying what has been years in the making of a fantastic new Spanish series to binge.
