Ep 107 Jaime Mendez, Se Habla Media

Chino Y Chicano

Since 2007, Jaime Mendez has anchored the only locally produced Spanish language television newscast on KUNS, the Seattle Univision affiliate. KUNS is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group which also owns KOMO television in Seattle. Sinclair has decided to drop the Seattle Univision affiliation beginning January 1, 2024. To fill the Spanish language news void in the Puget Sound region, Jaime Mendez is launching Se Habla Media. It is a Spanish language online venture that will feature local as well as regional news and information. Jaime Mendez joins the Chino Y Chicano to talk about the new venture and why it is important to have a Spanish language news service in Seattle and Washington state.
