Univision Continues to Press Verizon on Blackout

A variety of political leaders, community groups and viewers expressed disappointment at the Univision blackout on Verizon (see 1710190034), the network said Friday. The National Hispanic Media Coalition in a letter to the telco's CEO, Lowell McAdam, that was released Thursday by Univision said it was "outraged" and Verizon "risks being ostracized by Latino consumers" and threatened to "agitate for public condemnation." Verizon didn't comment Friday.
