Telemundo Partners With Ryan Seacrest and Donald Trump
Posted in: Uncategorized
Rival Univision gets much of its programming from Mexico’s media giant Grupo Televisa, but Spanish-language network Telemundo Media is looking to Ryan Seacrest and Donald Trump.
The slate of new shows announced at Telemundo’s upfront presentation on Tuesday night at Lincoln Center included “Duelo Musical: Super Estrella” (“Superstar Showdown”), a showdown between two different music stars each week who face off in four rounds of music-based games and sing-offs that the audience will vote on. The showdown will be produced in association with Ryan Seacrest Productions in the “American Idol” producer’s first foray into Spanish-language programming.
Telemundo, part of Comcast-owned NBC Universal, is also creating Miss Latina USA, a combination reality show and beauty pageant whose winner will go on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. This will be the first time another U.S. contestant in addition to the official Miss USA pageant winner will be part of the Miss Universe competition. NBC co-owns the Miss Universe Organization with Donald Trump, and Miss Universe already airs on Telemundo as well as NBC.
