Telemundo Upfront Programming 2015-2016

NBCUniversal Hispanic Group’s annual Upfront presentation was held at New York’s Frederick P. Rose Hall and hosted by NBC’s “Today” news anchor Natalie Morales and Telemundo entertainment anchor and
“La Voz Kids” host Jorge Bernal. Executive Vice President of Advertising Sales for NBCUniversal’s News and Hispanic Groups, Mike Rosen, unveiled the company’s go-to-market strategy– “All Together. Latino.”– to connect
with U.S. Hispanic audiences across all of NBCUniversal’s networks and platforms. Executives also introduced an impressive array of digital opportunities for advertising partners and unveiled the 2015-2016 programming line-ups for Telemundo and NBC Universo, featuring more
than 1,000 hours of original content. The NBCUniversal Hispanic Group leads NBCU’s sales strategy in serving
the U.S. Hispanic community across all its networks and platforms. With NBCUniversal’s unprecedented portfolio and best-in-class data-driven optimization tools, marketers can identify and target the most desirable Hispanic consumers for their specific product or category, through
customizable campaigns leveraging NBCU’s multiple platforms – national broadcast, network cable, digital,
social, owned and operated stations and hyper-local targeted cable – regardless of language. “Hispanic America is the new mainstream,” said Joe Uva, Chairman,
Hispanic Enterprises and Content, NBCUniversal. “As one of the most influential segments of our society, today 57 million Hispanics influence more than 300 million people. With the potential scale and reach of over 90% of the Hispanic audience, every month, regardless of language, NBCU offers our clients opportunities that no other media company can when marketing to this vibrant segment of the population.” Rosen introduced CultureFirst, NBCU’s
latest innovative proprietary strategic approach to help inform advertisers’ decisions when designing campaigns
directed to the Hispanic segment. Anchored on Latino “human truths,” CultureFirst allows advertisers to
incorporate cultural traits that unify and connect Latinos, regardless of their language, into their decision process, ensuring relevance and maximum impact across the entire
demographic. Rosen announced that the next Curve Report, NBCU’s trends and insights practice, will devote its next major study to CultureFirst, recognizing the power of the Latino culture to impact the full U.S. cultural
landscape. “Hispanic marketing, up until now, has
been synonymous with, and limited to, Spanish-language media. Starting with the 2015-16 Upfront, and only with
NBCUniversal, language will never again be a barrier to great marketing,” added Rosen. “NBCU is uniquely
positioned with the breadth of its portfolio, combined with its best-in-class data optimization tools and custom integrated marketing solutions, to target Hispanics across all languages, and build unbreakable consumer experiences across all screens.”
NBC Deportes:
Uva and Mark Lazarus, Chairman, NBC Sports Group, announced the creation of NBC Deportes, a new, dedicated Hispanic sports production unit that will expand sports production capabilities and will align and leverage
the expertise and resources of the NBC Sports Group. NBC Deportes will be a robust content generator providing
over 1,000 hours of world class sports content across Telemundo, NBC Universo and its digital platforms,

National Team World Cup and Olympic Qualifiers, British Premiere League, NFL and NASCAR.

Big Hero 6 Having A Series

Big Hero 6, the hit Walt Disney
Animation Studios film based on
characters and concepts from Marvel
Comics is getting a sequel - but
instead of a film, it will come to Disney
XD as a series. The show will debut in
2017 and is in production now.
The follow-up to the Academy Award-
winning feature film inspired by the
comic book characters created by Man of Action's Steven T. Seagle and
Duncan Rouleau will be spear-headed
for Disney Television Animation by
executive producers Mark McCorkle
and Bob Schooley, the creators and
showrunners of Kim Possible . They're
joined by fellow Kim Possible alum
Nick Filippi, who will also serve as an
executive producer and supervising
director. Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide announced the series as part of the Kids Upfront for 2016, one of 17 new series planned for debut across Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney XD. "Our colleagues at Walt Disney Animation Studios have created a brilliant new world, inspired by Marvel, with vivid, unique characters," Marsh said in a statement provided to ComicBook.com. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to further develop
these characters into a world class
animated series – full of fun, action and the kind of endearing storytelling that only Mark, Bob – and Baymax – can deliver." The series will start immediately following the events of the feature film, and is a direct sequel to the events there. The continuing adventures of Hiro and Baymax, his robot pal, are once again joined by Wasabi, Honey lemon, Fred, and GoGo Tomago. Now established as a team, Big Hero 6 protect the city of San Fransokyo from high-tech villains while Hiro faces the unique challenges as a scientific prodigy at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology.Disney XD did not announce casting or animation style for the 2017 Big Hero 6 series yet. Much of the cast of the film has an extensive relationship with Disney, though, so it's not inconceivable to see them all return. Jamie Chung, the voice of GoGo in the film, works with Disney on Once Upon a Time in the recurring role of Mulan on ABC, for instance. T.J. Miller, who voiced Fred, does extensive voicework, including multiple voices on the recently concluded Gravity Falls on Disney XD. Expect more news on Big Hero 6 as production gets underway leading up to the 2017 release.
