— reported by HispanicAd
In an astonishing television ratings upset, it has emerged that a Spanish-language TV program is New York’s third highest rated prime time show on commercial television regardless of language. “La Madrastra†(The Stepmother), a first-run novela on Univision’s WXTV Channel 41 was New York’s third highest rated prime time TV program out of 27 prime time programs seen between 8 pm and 11 pm on New York’s nine commercial TV stations last night, Thursday, August 4. That means that “La Madrastra†was watched by more viewers in key audience categories – including the broadest measure of viewership — than TV powerhouses such as NBC’s “Law & Order†and ABC’s “Hooking Up.†“La Madrastra†is broadcast from 9 pm to 10 pm weekdays on Spanish-language Univision 41 (WXTV). “La Madrastra†trailed only CBS’ “CSI†and “Without a Trace†in yesterday’s ratings race.
