    Carnival Corporation Announces Partnership with Univision Communications with Launch of New Primetime Show - 'La Gran Sorpresa' December 18, 2017 Making its debut on Sunday, January 7, the O·C·E·A·N original series from the world's largest leisure travel company unites families through travel to engage growing Hispanic community MIAMI, Dec. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), the world's largest leisure travel company, today announced it is partnering with Univision Communications Inc. (UCI) – the leading media company serving Hispanic America – to develop the first O·C·E·A·N primetime series. The show will air on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT / 7 p.m. CT beginning January 7 on the Univision Network. 'La Gran Sorpresa' (The Great Surprise) uses the power of travel to reunite families as they overcome hardships created by illness, separation and other challenges. The one-hour program is hosted by award-winning television personality Poncho de Anda. For the series' first six episodes, de Anda will be joined by several well-known personalities, including Univision Deportes' Karina Banda; "Despierta America's" Franscisca Lachapel and Maity Interiano; and Ligia Uriarte of Univision's primetime dramedy, "Mi Marido Tiene Familia." In its first season, the series surprises a number of families as they sail aboard ships from Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises and Holland America Line – three of Carnival Corporation's nine global cruise brands – to exotic destinations including Cozumel (Mexico), Mahogany Bay (Honduras) and Half Moon Cay (Bahamas). "Based on the exceptionally positive viewing results that exceed all other travel-related shows and the increased interest in cruise vacations our shows continue to generate, we are very excited to partner with Univision on 'La Gran Sorpresa' and build on their strong connection with the Hispanic community," said John Padgett, chief experience and innovation officer for Carnival Corporation.

  • PR Pros Urge Gawker to Stay True to Itself
    PR pros urge Gawker to stay true to itself By Sean Czarnecki August 17, 2016 The Nick Denton-founded media company struck a deal this week to be bought by Univision amid long- running legal disputes with billionaire Trump supporter Peter Thiel - the fate of its flagship publication, Gawker.com, remains unknown. NEW YORK: Univision is snapping up Gawker for $135 million following a bidding process that concluded Tuesday evening, potentially adding all seven of its brands to a portfolio that already includes Fusion, The Onion, and The Root. Apart from its flagship Gawker.com website, Nick Denton's company also operates Deadspin, Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku, and Lifehacker. But according to PR pros operating in the tech space who spoke to PRWeek, the jury is still out on whether the irreverent brand will be able to retain its character, or even if Gawker.com will continue to operate, under a Univision umbrella that would link it to Fusion, a network it openly mocked in the past. "Univision has to recognize [Gawker's edginess and editorial freedom] is an essential ingredient to bringing in the demographic they’re seeking," says Peter Himler, founding principal of Flatiron Communications, who previously served as chief media officer for Edelman worldwide and headed Burson-Marsteller’s U.S. corporate and strategic media team. "It would be unwise to demand Gawker tone it down," he adds. "On the other hand, it doesn’t want to be the object of a liability suit. It will likely put on some restraints, but it won’t want to mess too much with the content." Demographic reach was one thing Gawker founder Nick Denton focused on in a statement to media outlets regarding the deal, saying Univision is "rapidly assembling the leading digital media group for millennial and multicultural audiences." Attempts to contact Denton were unsuccessful as of press time.
