Univision/Telefutura, the balance: good, bad or average to poor?

[Danilo-11]

Has anybody noticed that Univision doesn't start showing the f...ing games until they are already playing?

Uhhh, hold on
I forgot that they don't do that when Mexico is playing :rolleyes:

[sidspaceman]

Funny they did it yesterday during the Mexico vs Chile game.

[BorrachoNJ]

i'm all for bashing these channels but do we have to have 29 threads about it?

[Mr. Beelzebub]

MY guess is... MAYBE, maybe... Because the games are live and they have to all commercials in the time slot they were paid for... Just MAYBE.

So what's next?
Going to commercials every 10 minutes?

They do that for all games, Mexico included.

And the reason they start the games 5 minutes late is because about 3 years ago on a mexican league game between Pumas and another team, a girl from Pumas' barra flashed the camera.

awesome! :D

I'm pretty sure it's got more to do with getting in the most advertisement (money, money, money) possible and the morons not estimating when to get back to the transmission. Do they also do that in the mexican league games? :rolleyes:

All I know is that Univision's Copa AMerica Coverage (not surprising) has been very poor. I wished they did a pre-game show ala Fox Sports before some of the games in the final stages. They could also show the coming out of the teams and the singing of the national anthems.........Univision is pathetic!

I had to watch the inauguration ceremony through TV-Venezuela
because Univision instead of showing the f...ing inauguration ceremony was interviewing 2 guys that wrote a Copa America song
and then they showed a total of about 5 minutes out of 40 minutes of the inauguration.

You think that they are going to do a pre-game show for any team that is not Mexico, Argentina or Brazil?

[Danilo-11]

Here's another question:
Why in the hell does CNN en Espanol transmit from Venezuela through a internet connection that looks crappy?

I've seen them broadcasting from Cuba and it looked 100 times better because they weren't transmitting through internet.

Danilo, CNN has a permanent office in La Habana, while the reports from CCS are done on a ad-hoc basis. Everytime something important happens there they send one of their reporters from another location, most likely Bogota.

It is not worth to hire an uplink truck/gateway unless you are staying there for a long time and can negotiate a good price.

I think that is why.....Hope this answer your question.

[omajac]

Another bad thing is and this isn't Univision's fault is that the few times u do get to see the teams hear their national anthems before the games almost everyone of them have been chopped!!

Some of the players were still singing their anthems after the music was cut!! :p

Sounds like another lame excuse from you

5 out of 26 games were played in Maracaibo, including 1 semi-final and the final.
Why didn't they take a van with microwaves just like TyCSports did in at least 2 cities? (Puerto La Cruz & Maracaibo)

Are you seriously telling us that it's easier for CNN to have a permanent office in Havanna, Cuba than in Maracaibo, Venezuela?

CNN is not a Sports Channel, as far as I know.

The only interest they might have in Copa America is about the political related matters, apart from that, very little.

The office in La Habana has been there since looooonggg ago. It is very important for strategic reasons, specially in case Fidel "estire la pata".

So what's your point with that?
isn't CNN the news channel with the most reporters all around the World?

^Your comment makes no sense. Why would anyone have a PERMANENT office in Maracaibo? Once the copa is over, then what? Report on the local bass fishing?
