Spanish-language television network Univision News will go to Argentina next month for the country’s presidential elections, according to Guillermo Martinez, Univision’s vice president and news director. Maria Elena Salinas, Univision News co-anchor and Osvaldo Petrozzino, Univision News correspondent, will report daily from Buenos Aires from May 10 through 15 (the election is on May 14), and the network has scheduled a special series of reports during its evening and late-night newscasts. “Univision’s coverage will inform our viewers about the presidential bid by the incumbent (Radical) party’s Eduardo Angeloz and the popular opposing Peronista candidate, Carlos Menem,” said Martinez, whose network coves 85% of U.S. Hispanic households through satellite-interconnected broadcast and cable affiliates around the country.
