Univision CEO Says Comcast-Time Warner Cable Deal Is Bad for Hispanics

Urges regulators to impose tough restrictions

Put Univision in the "no" column on the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger.

During the Spanish-language media giant's first quarter earnings call, CEO Randy Falco told investors that the merger would hurt Hispanic TV viewers.

"You've already heard that the new Comcast will be the dominant cable and high-speed broadband provider in markets with 30 percent of all U.S. cable households. What you may not know is that the new Comcast will serve markets with 91 percent of all Hispanic households and be the top TV distributor in 19 of the top 20 Hispanic markets," Falco said.
