On 13 August officially transmit the new channel mundofox , becoming the fifth channel of the U.S. Hispanic content with Univision, Telemundo, Telefutura and Azteca America. Mundofox is a partnership between Fox International Channels and Colombian RCN television network. It had announced its launch on January 23 and its transmissions reach the 70 percent of Hispanic households in the United States.

As it finishes its process of affiliation with local stations, enter the desired mundofox Hispanic market in the United States, composed of 50 million residents and valued at $ 3.6 billion. However, prior to its launch, has questioned the need for another channel on the Hispanic market television, if you improve the quality of Hispanic television, or if it is a move to clear the name of Rupert Murdoch, founder News Corporation and Fox International Channels, after a wiretapping scandal of its newspapers in Britain.

Although marketing experts mundofox trust as an alternative to television content for Latinos, others are not convinced as the blog of John of Words [on]

I have to say, after reading about the "new" programming will be mundofox offering, next month, I'm not really impressed ... Eventually, network execs say, the plan is to produce the original content straight from Colombia, using Existing RCN's studio and production resources. That's Probably when to we'll see any actual competition from mundofox.
