TELEMUNDO LAUNCHES YOUTUBE TELEMUNDO AND MUN2 CHANNELS

For the First Time, the Networks Will Premiere Select Content on YouTube

MIAMI – October 5, 2011 – Telemundo announced today that it will launch two YouTube channels dedicated exclusively to Telemundo and mun2 content. The two YouTube channels, designed to promote viewership on its linear networks, will feature clips and short-form programming.

In a network first, Telemundo weekly novela summaries will be available with English subtitles, designed for the Spanish and bilingual novela fan, as well as daily novela clips in Spanish. Additionally, Telemundo will launch the YouTube mun2 channel, which will include mun2 promotional clips and mun2.tv original bilingual content.

“We are thrilled that our platform will help create and foster connections between Telemundo’s wonderful content and the large and dynamic group of Hispanic users currently active on YouTube,” said Rodrigo Velloso, head of Hispanic and Latin American content at YouTube.

“We are excited to partner with YouTube to share clips of Telemundo’s compelling original content with an even broader online audience,” said Peter Blacker, executive vice president, digital media & emerging business, Telemundo. “We know our fans are tremendously engaged with video content, and dedicated network channels on YouTube will allow the networks to connect with current fans of our programming, while attracting a new fan base as well.”

In August 2011, Telemundo.com ranked as one of the top three most “engaged” video experiences among all television networks, regardless of language, according to comScore. The site also ranked highest for “viewers” engagement among other Spanish-language websites, as measured by the number of videos per viewer, minutes per viewer, minutes per visit and total minutes.

Telemundo.com is one of the top three television network websites across several key categories. The site reports an average of 22.8 videos per viewer and 83.1 minutes per viewer. Telemundo.com delivered more than double the number of videos per viewer than Univision.com, as well as almost five times more minutes per viewer, three times more minutes per visit, twice the number of minutes per video and 17MM more total minutes spent with video.

Gisele Bundchen Launches Amazon Campaign

Brazilian top model Gisele Bündchen, one of the most sought-after in the world, expressed her support for World Amazon Day by launching an online campaign in defense of the rainforests, in which she puts her fame at the service of an area whose vegetation has been described as "the lungs of our planet."

The campaign was launched Monday on YouTube to coincide with Brazil's celebration of World Amazon Day, begun in 2007 with the goal of alerting the world about the need to preserve that region of 6.9 million sq. kilometers (2.6 million sq. miles), of which 4.2 million sq. kilometers (1.6 million sq. miles) are in Brazilian territory.
As goodwill ambassador for the U.N. environmental program, Bündchen recalled that 2011 has been named the International Year of Forests by the United Nations, so that World Amazon Day has a special significance this time around.

"One of the most gratifying things about my work is to be able to travel around the world and get to know the diversity of life on our planet," the model says on the video, in which she stresses "how important it is for all of us to preserve nature."

"The sad part is that deforestation (in the Amazon) is increasing at an alarming rate, threatening the forest and our lives, because our health depends on our planet's health," the model says on the video, which shows shocking images illustrating the destruction of the jungle.

"We have to take the steps now to protect our planet's health" and our own lives, since otherwise it will be impossible to "live in harmony with this wonderful planet," Bündchen said.

The model also asks her fans on several social networks to spread the message worldwide, because, she says, we have to be the change we wish to see in the world.
