Hola, Hulu! Univision takes its popular telenovelas online
By RYAN NAKASHIMA
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Univision,
the nation’s No. 1 Spanish-language broadcaster, is bringing
its popular telenovelas and other
prime-time TV programming to
online video service Hulu.
The deal announced Wednesday gives Hulu a way to sell advertising to a growing Hispanic
population and entice them to
pay for subscriptions that unlock
more content. Univision gets
a chance to make the kind of
money from reruns that Englishlanguage programs have long
enjoyed.
Hulu’s paying subscribers will
get the majority of Univision’s
prime-time offerings the day
after airing on regular TV. Hulu
says more than 1 million people
pay $8 a month for Hulu Plus,
which lets them watch shows on
devices other than a computer
and access a deeper library than
the free version.
Full episodes of certain shows
will also be available on the free
AP/Univision
This image shows a scene from the telenovela, “La Fuerza del
Destino,” The Power of Destiny. Univision, the nation’s No. 1 Spanish-language broadcaster, is bringing its popular telenovelas and
other prime-time TV programming to online video service Hulu.
version of Hulu a day after being broadcast on TV. Both free
and paid versions of Hulu come
with ads.
Univision’s popular shows
include the current telenovela
“Teresa” and variety show “Don
Francisco Presenta.”
The multiyear agreement is
the first major online deal since
Univision Communications Inc.
settled with Mexican producer
Grupo Televisa SAB late last
year for the right to show Televisa programs to U.S. audiences
over the Internet.
Hulu said it will launch the
service with a revamped website
later this year.
Hulu is up for sale by its
owners, The Walt Disney Co.,
News Corp., Comcast Corp. and
Providence Equity Partners. The
length of the deal suggests that
the arrangement would continue
under new owners if a sale is
completed soon.
Until now, Hispanic audiences
haven’t had a good reason to
turn to Hulu on the Web. They
represent 16 percent of the U.S.
population — around 50 million
people — a large untapped group
for Hulu and its advertisers.
“It is a significant audience.
It’s young. It’s vibrant. It’s growing,” said Andy Forsell, senior
vice president of content acquisition for Hulu. “This audience
is of huge interest to advertisers.”
Univision turned to the online
video service for its reach and
advertising sales force, as well as
the ability to benefit from Hulu’s
subscriber fees in a way that the
free-to-air broadcaster has not
enjoyed before. Hulu and Universal aren’t saying how much
Hulu is paying for the rights.
Popular
English-language
shows such as “Two and a Half
Men” can make millions of dollars from reruns. By contrast,
Spanish-language telenovelas
haven’t profited from a rerun
market until now.
Tonia O’Connor, Univision’s
president of distribution sales
and marketing, said the deal
with Hulu marks the first time
its shows have a life beyond the
initial broadcast.
O’Connor said Univision
plans to explore other deals to
reach Internet-savvy Hispanic
audiences in the U.S. Next year,
it also plans put shows on its
own website but reserve them
for subscribers who pay for their
TV signals through distributors
such as cable and satellite TV
companies.
Univision experimented with
online distribution last year by
putting episodes of telenovela
“Eva Luna” on its website a day
after airing on regular TV.
The show’s TV audience
reached 5.2 million viewers in
April, while drawing 790,000
online video streams and
318,000 streams from mobile
devices that month.
Univision was allowed to market Televisa shows online after
the two sides reached an agreement in October last year that
settled a long-running dispute.
Televisa agreed to invest $1.2
billion in New York-based Univision in exchange for a minority
stake, while Univision received
