Fernando Colunga Returns To Univision In ‘Amanecer,' Premiering In July

Fernando Colunga and Livia Brito star in "Amanecer," which debuts July 7, 2025. Fernando Colunga is heading back to Univision in July. The longtime Mexican Televisa leading man of countless hit telenovela​s - from the 1990s to the present, such as La Usurpadora, Amor Real and El maleficio - will be headlining​ Amanecer. He co-stars in the new revenge-filled romance alongside Livia Brito, who has also had her share of recent leading roles, including Mujer de Nadie and Minas de Pasión, both TelevisaUnivision productions. Amanecer centers on Leonel Carranza (Colunga), a once-kind landowner whose life is shattered by betrayal and tragedy. After his wife abandons him and his daughter dies in a devastating fire, Leonel's grief turns to vengeance. He blames Alba Palacios (Brito) and her family, whom he holds responsible for the tragedy. Driven by his thirst for vengeance, Leonel forces the debt-burdened Alba into a loveless marriage, setting the stage for a tale of obsession, resentment and the possibility of redemption. Catherine Siachoque, telenovela villainess extraordinaire, joins the cast in her TelevisaUnivision debut.​ The Colombian actress portrays Amapola, a cunning antagonist whose presence threatens to upend everyone's lives. Amanecer​'s ensemble cast also features Daniel Elbittar​ (La herencia​, El amor no tiene receta) as Sebastián Peñalosa, a doctor with a dangerous obsession for Alba, and Ana Belena​ (Amor amargo​, El Maleficio) as Atocha, Leonel's manipulative sister. Colunga's return to Univision comes after a successful run with Telemundo, where​ he signed a multi-project contract​ in 2020. As part of that deal, he starred in ​t​he revenge-themed series​ El Conde: Amor Y Honor in 2024, a modern reimagining of ​"The Count of Monte Cristo​," set in 1950s Mexico. The series finale ranked as the most-watched Spanish-language program in its 10 p.m. timeslot​, according to Nielsen ratings. The Juan Osorio production will debut on Monday, July 7 and air weeknights at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT on Univision.

Why we fly the Mexican flag at the L.A. protests

Enrique Acevedo is anchor of the news program 'En Punto' on Televisa. I was there as protesters flooded the streets of downtown Los Angeles, their chants rising over sirens and the buzz of low-flying helicopters. The air was thick with smoke, and the sharp, acrid sting of chemicals burned the throat and made eyes water. Loud bangs echoed off concrete buildings, followed by the thud of rubber bullets hitting pavement and bodies. A wall of L.A. police officers stood unmoving at the edge of the crowd. And above it all, in the chaos and confrontation, was a sea of raised fists and Mexican flags. Not tucked in a pocket or painted on a cheek, but unfurled and waving high, as if daring the city, the country, to see them.

Mexico data leak exposes broadcaster's methods to destroy reputations of public figures

Letter from Mexico City "Remember these words, 'Televisa Leaks.'" "Today," Aristegui Noticias "reveals a massive leak of documents from Televisa, the largest media conglomerate in Latin America. It shows how this channel attacks its opponents and assists its allies." On April 27, Carmen Aristegui, the most listened-to voice in Mexico, opened her two-hour radio program with this scoop. She is also one of the country's most respected journalists, someone whom those in power have repeatedly tried to silence, but who has never let go of the microphone. On that day, "Aristegui Noticias" revealed that once again, Carmen Aristegui had been the victim of manipulation – this time by Televisa, Mexico's leading private television channel. The leak, totaling five terabytes of data – twice the size of the Panama Papers – came from a former employee of the channel's so-called "war room," known as Palomar. German Gomez provided a wealth of information, from the team's chat logs to details of "media warfare operations" carried out between 2018 and 2024.
