Angélica Rivera's ‘Con Esa Misma Mirada' Season 2 Drops On ViX
L to R: Diego Klein, Angélica Rivera and Iván Sánchez return for season 2 of ViX original "Con Esa ... More Misma Mirada." Mexico's former first lady and telenovela icon Angélica Rivera is back for the second season of Con Esa Misma Mirada, a modern adaptation of the groundbreaking Mexican telenovela Mirada de Mujer that aired in the late 1990s — itself a remake of the Colombian series Señora Isabel. The reimagined story, which continues to challenge traditional narratives about women's sexuality and second chances at love, premieres today exclusively on the premium tier of TelevisaUnivision's ViX streaming service. Rivera stars as Eloísa, the story's main protagonist. The actress, who hadn't starred in a production since 2007's Destilando Amor, chose this ViX original to mark her return to acting after an almost 20-year hiatus. TelevisaUnivision announced her comeback for this streaming series in 2024. Marking a significant shift in Latin American programming strategy and taking a page from Netflix's playbook, ViX is dropping the entire second season on the same day — just as it did with season one, when it debuted in March this year — allowing subscribers to binge-watch all episodes immediately rather than following the traditional weekly release schedule. Season two deepens the exploration of Eloísa's journey of self-discovery as she navigates a passionate new romance with Pablo, portrayed by Diego Klein (Loco por ella, Vuelve a mí), while dealing with the lingering effects of her relationship with Octavio, played by Iván Sánchez (Culpa Tuya, Bosé) — to whom she still feels connected. L to R: Sofia Castro and Angélica Rivera, real-life mother and daughter in a scene from "Con Esa ... More Misma Mirada." Meanwhile, Octavio, feeling hurt and humiliated by Eloísa, decides to start a new life with Gabriela (Pamela Almanza). But as in all love triangles, doubts persist. Despite her happiness with Octavio, Gabriela finds herself overwhelmed by his obsession with blaming Eloísa for the family's problems, including Antonia's (Sofía Castro) unexpected pregnancy, the family's struggle with Matilde's (Ivanna Castro) eating disorder, and the consequences of Samuel's (Nicolás Haza) fling with Renata (Ximena Herrera). The season 2 cast features legendary Mexican actress Blanca Guerra (La Rebelión, Alma de hierro) and includes Ximena Herrera, , Fernanda Borches, Iliana Fox, Juan Ríos Cantú, Adriana Llabrés, Gonzalo Vega, Adriana Romero, Adolfo de la Fuente, Lupita Ortiz, Mateo Ortega Casillas, Fernanda Hernández and Andrea Aldana. A telenovela's evolution: adapting to the times The narrative tackles contemporary issues around family judgment, societal expectations, and the courage required to prioritize personal happiness over public opinion, weaving together multiple generational storylines. Mirada de Mujer, which aired on TV Azteca from 1997-1998, became a cultural phenomenon for its revolutionary portrayal of a woman finding love with a younger man after being abandoned by her husband. The show sparked national conversations about women's age, sexuality and gender roles that challenged traditional norms, inspiring international adaptations including Telemundo's 2007 version Victoria starring Victoria Ruffo. ViX's adaptation aims to capture that same cultural relevance for streaming audiences who expect more condensed storytelling than the traditional 200+ episode telenovela format. The binge-release strategy signals the platform's efforts to compete with global streaming giants by adopting viewer-friendly distribution models that cater to modern consumption habits. Produced by Argos for ViX, the series features two of the original writers, Jimena Romero and Gilma Peña, alongside Camila Ibarra. Alba Gil and Pitipol Ybarra direct, stepping in after the untimely passing of renowned film and television director Moisés Ortiz Urquidi in June. Executive producers include Epigmenio Ibarra and Verónica Velasco, with Patricia Benítez serving as executive producer and Fides Velasco also contributing to the production. All episodes of season two are now available exclusively to ViX premium subscribers.

The 5 Most Interesting Analyst Questions From fuboTV's Q1 Earnings Call
fuboTV's first quarter saw results that diverged sharply from Wall Street's expectations, with revenue growth constrained by the loss of certain programming partners and continued subscriber declines. Management identified the discontinuation of Warner Bros. Discovery and TelevisaUnivision networks as a major factor impacting advertising revenue, while also pointing to ongoing efforts to optimize its content platform and lower costs. CFO John Janedis acknowledged, "ad revenue for the quarter was $22.5 million down 17% year-over-year, largely due to the discontinuation of Warner Bros. Discovery and TelevisaUnivision Networks." Despite these headwinds, the company emphasized improved operating efficiency and a narrowed non-GAAP loss, attributing progress to disciplined cost control and a focus on profitability. Is now the time to buy FUBO? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $416.3 million vs analyst estimates of $584 million (3.5% year-on-year growth, 28.7% miss) Adjusted EPS: -$0.02 vs analyst estimates of -$0.03 ($0.01 beat) Adjusted EBITDA: -$1.42 million vs analyst estimates of -$7.04 million (-0.3% margin, 79.8% beat) Operating Margin: -6.1%, up from -15.7% in the same quarter last year Domestic Subscribers: 1.47 million, down 41,000 year on year Market Capitalization: $1.15 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Dave Joyce (Seaport Research Partners) asked about progress with TelevisaUnivision negotiations and readiness of new skinny bundles; CFO John Janedis said no new updates but is open to talks if terms are acceptable, while CEO David Gandler stressed focus on finalizing deals for a fall launch. Clark Lampen (BTIG) questioned the macro environment's impact on churn and ad demand; Janedis replied that churn for the English package is slightly better year-over-year and ad reactivations in April exceeded expectations, but subscriber growth is flat when normalizing for content drops and event timing. Laura Martin (Needham) probed into international strategy and use of generative AI; Gandler reiterated that profitability, not growth, is the current focus for Molotov, with further investment contingent on achieving operating benchmarks, while Janedis explained ad revenue fell mainly due to lost ad insertable hours from dropped networks. Alicia Reese (Wedbush) asked for details on interactive and gamified ad performance; Janedis reported 37% year-over-year growth in interactive ad revenue, noting accelerating advertiser interest but longer-than-expected sales cycles. No further analyst questions were asked on the call. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be closely monitoring (1) the pace and success of content negotiations for both skinny bundles and broader packages, (2) further traction and monetization of interactive and shoppable ad formats, and (3) progress toward closing the Hulu + Live TV merger. Execution in each area will shape fuboTV's ability to stabilize and grow its subscriber base while moving toward profitability. fuboTV currently trades at $3.46, up from $2.91 just before the earnings. Is there an opportunity in the stock?See for yourself in our full research report (it's free). Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump's presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth.

Jorge Ramos on his new digital series: ‘I have a few pending battles left'
Journalist Jorge Ramos is officially back in the spotlight following his departure from TelevisaUnivision last December. 'Journalists never retire and I have a few pending battles left,' said Ramos in a phone call with The Times. On Wednesday, the Mexican reporter announced his new independent daily news program, 'Así veo las cosas,' on Instagram. Featuring interviews with notable figures and everyday people alike, his broadcasts will be accessible across multiple social media platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, X, Facebook and TikTok beginning June 23. While most of his segments will be filmed in a Miami-based studio, Ramos expects to be in the field, speaking with community members. 'I want to be with the people, transmitting live,' he said. 'This is a dangerous and critical time for Latinos and immigrants,' Ramos added. 'There's not enough spaces for immigrants' voices to be heard and to counter all the lies told about us.' Early last week, Ramos teased his comeback to broadcast journalism in the wake of the protests against ICE sweeps across Los Angeles. 'This is a grave moment, especially with the presence of the National Guard in Los Angeles,' said Ramos in an Instagram Reel, uploaded on June 8. 'We have to explain why so many immigrants feel betrayed, why so many immigrants feel persecuted,' he continued. 'Because what is happening in Los Angeles is a motive for frustration and desperation among the Latino and immigrant community.' In the same clip, Ramos acknowledged his six-month hiatus. 'I know that I have many months out of the news and screens for various reasons, but this is the exact moment that I must return to tell [you] what is happening,' said Ramos. On Dec. 13, Ramos concluded his 38-year run with 'Noticierio Univision,' the most-watched Spanish-language newscast, along with his Sunday morning public affairs program, 'Al Punto,' which he anchored for 17 years. Throughout his career, Ramos established himself as a fierce reporter known for pressing world leaders with tough questions, particularly surrounding the topic of immigration. 'Never, never in my career has someone censored me or dictated what I say or don't say in the U.S.,' Ramos told The Times. Many may recall Ramos directly referring to former President Barack Obama as 'Deporter-in-Chief' during a 2014 interview aired on Univision, citing his mass deportation efforts and a failed campaign promise to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Less than a year later, Ramos made headlines when he was ejected from a Donald Trump press conference in Iowa after refusing to sit down. Ramos had asked the Republican candidate about his promise to build a wall and deport millions of undocumented immigrants; in response, Trump told Ramos to 'go back to Univision.' News of Ramos' departure came last September, when parent company TelevisaUnivision announced that both parties had 'mutually agreed' not to renew Ramos' contract at the end of the year. While no further details were disclosed, Ramos was the second major figure to leave after Televisa merged with Univision. León Krauze, who anchored Univision's late-night newscast, resigned in 2023, notably less than a week after Televisa journalist Enrique Acevedo conducted a nearly hour-long, nonconfrontational interview with President Trump. Ramos' exit from broadcast television came at a troubling time overall for network evening newscasts, which have struggled to compete with fast-paced content creator hubs like YouTube. According to a 2024 Pew Research Center report about U.S. Latino news consumption, 65% of Latinos said they largely consumed news through their digital devices, a detail that Ramos seemed to acknowledge with the launch of 'Así veo las cosas.' 'I've been fortunate enough to be a very privileged journalist,' said Ramos. 'I want to continue using that platform for other voices that need to be heard, but aren't.' He jokingly referred to himself now as an avant-garde 'content creator,' but added: 'I hope I can differentiate myself by the journalistic experience and credibility I have gained over 40 years. 'I think journalism is more important than ever, and my bet is that people who saw me on TV will follow me on social media,' said Ramos.

NEW STUDY SHOWS US LATINOS ARE RISING IN SELF-AWARENESS, BUT FEEL INCREASINGLY IGNORED BY BRANDS AND MEDIA
The $4.1 Trillion Growth Opportunity Segment Is a 'New Latino' with New Expectations CANNES, France, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study launched today at Cannes Lions reveals U.S. Latinos, one of the largest and fastest-growing consumer groups, are more empowered and brand-aware than ever, but feel increasingly underrecognized by brands and media. The Hispanic Sentiment Study 2025, by the We Are All Human Foundation, powered by TelevisaUnivision, and supported by iHeart and Canela Media, identifies that as Latinos gain confidence in their economic and cultural contributions, a Recognition Recession is taking hold, marked by declining trust in brands, media, and the institutions that shape American life. Latinos in the U.S. now drive $4.1 trillion in economic output, growing at 4.4% annually, and are projected to become the 4th-largest economy globally by 2029. But what's changed isn't just their scale, it's their expectations. 'This study is a clear reminder of the massive opportunity brands have with Hispanics,' said Juliana Gomez, SVP of Strategy and Insights at TelevisaUnivision. 'This audience is engaged, brand loyal, and ready to connect when brands show up authentically. At TelevisaUnivision, we've seen that meaningful investment doesn't just resonate, it drives real growth. The future is bright for marketers that choose to lean in.' Despite their impact, only 32.5% of Latinos believe brands share their values, a decline of more than 20 points since 2018. That disconnect extends beyond advertising: Latinos are Losing Faith in the American Dream. Nearly half (48%) now believe the American Dream is slipping away (up from 34% in 2023), signaling a broader decline in trust across government, media, and corporate America. 'Investing in Latinos is not about DEI and should not be placed in a basket of corporate paralysis,' said Claudia Romo Edelman, Founder of the We Are All Human Foundation & Hispanic Star. 'Investing in Latinos is pure smart marketing. This is an untapped, $4.1 trillion, outperforming segment with four decades of built-in growth that is eager for recognition under a new narrative as economic power.' The complete study is now available at: About We Are All Human: We Are All Human is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity devoted to advancing Equity, Diversity & Inclusion for all, with a particular focus on accelerating the progress of Hispanics in the United States. Its flagship platform, the Hispanic Star, was a finalist for the 2023 Collective Social Innovation Award by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.
