Stories like this make me regret that I wasn't able to master Spanish. So sad.

ABC Offers 'Lost,' 'Housewives' en EspanolHoping to lure some of the burgeoning Latino market to its wares, ABC says it will offer all of its prime-time entertainment programming in either dubbed or subtitled Spanish this season.FULL ARTICLE HERE (http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271|97409|1|,00.html)
Hmmmm.... I wonder which closed captioning stream they will be using. My TV has only CC1 (which is the normal captioning channel), CC2, Text1, and Text2.
From Sacramento Bee's SacTicket:
Catching the wave
Radio and TV in Spanish have gained momentum, and Sacramento stations are riding highLast year, according to the trade publication Billboard Radio Monitor, Spanish-language radio stations boasted double-digit growth, with the number of stations exploding from 302 in 1998 to 678 this year. English-language media giants Clear Channel and Infinity have recently entered the Spanish-language market, and Viacom, CBS' parent company, has merged with the Spanish Broadcasting System. Univision, the Los Angeles-based leader in Spanish-language TV, now owns 65 radio stations after having bought Hispanic Broadcasting Co.
Spanish-language television is growing at an equally swift pace. In the past three years, Hispanic TV households in the United States have increased by more than 12 percent, to 10.9 million, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The TV market for Spanish speakers in Sacramento, which also encompasses Modesto and Stockton, is the country's 12th-largest, up three spots from 2003. Overall, Sacramento is the 19th-ranked TV market.FULL ARTICLE HERE (http://www.sacticket.com/tv_radio/story/13553729p-14394446c.html)
