NBC Universal’s Spanish-language Telemundo television network and Mexican broadcasting powerhouse Grupo Televisa are expected to announce a programming sharing agreement today that could lead to a closer alliance between the two. Televisa would be allowed to run Telemundo programs on one of its broadcast networks in Mexico as well as a separate cable channel, according to people familiar with the deal. That would give NBC Universal an important distribution outlet for its programs and a potentially lucrative source of new revenue. It also would help expose Telemundo’s shows to Mexican viewers, some of whom might eventually migrate to the U.S. and become a part of Telemundo’s audience here.
