Univision Hot for Web Shows, Network Taking Pitches

After its first-ever Web series “Crossed Lives” drew more than two million views, the Spanish-language network Univision says it’s planning an ambitious slate of ad-supported and original Web shows for the year ahead.

In this week’s New Media Minute, I report that the network is actively taking pitches from producers right now. The Spanish-language market is one of the few sectors of the media business still experiencing natural growth. In addition, this week’s episode also highlights a non-traditional revenue opportunity that Web producer Scotty Iseri landed.
