From Media Life Magazine -- For years, the Spanish-language upfront followed the broadcast upfront but was always first when it came to increases in ad spending for the coming year's TV season. Not so this year. While both broadcast and cable have had strong upfronts, Spanish-language television, whose upfront is now underway, is expected to see only a modest 6 percent increase over last year’s expenditures by the time negotiations wrap up later this summer. Last year's spending was up just over 10 percent.

From the Guardian Unlimited -- S4C, the Welsh-language broadcaster, is investing in an internet television company backed by Wales's first billionaire, Terry Matthews. Inuk Networks, based in south Wales, has developed a telephone, broadband and television platform called Freewire that is being rolled out to students in halls of residence. It enables students, who often have telephone connections for computers in their rooms but not TV aerial sockets, to watch normal TV on their PCs or Macs - a service available in the US but not previously in the UK.

From the Glasgow Daily Record -- It also, unlike practically every other half-decent documentary which comes out of tartan Beeb, goes out at a reasonable hour rather than at a time when most folks are in their pits snoring. But I have a suggestion. Do it in English, the language spoken by the vast majority of most of the licence payers and subtitle it in Gaelic.
