CNN will launch CNN Latino, an eight-hour block of  Spanish-language news and entertainment programming, in late January on L.A. broadcast stations KBEH-DT Channel 63. The company expects to move it to TV stations in other cities "eventually," writes Meg James.

Will Time Warner Cable get rid of low-rated networks, which are often bundled into a package with higher-rated ones? That's what its  CEO, Glenn Britt, said Monday at a New York conference, though he "declined to say how New York-based Time Warner Cable would deal with the dilemma of potentially losing popular channels," writes Bloomberg's Alex Sherman. Hmmm... did Time Warner management decide to backtrack on that stance?   A day later, at a difference conference, Britt's boss, Time Warner chairman and CEO Jeff Bewkes, described cable TV pay bundles as "economically efficient."

In the latest of a spate of newspaper acquisitions, Clarity Media Group bought The Colorado Springs Gazette from Aaron Kushner’s 2100 Trust investment group, which made the sale only four months after the latter had bought the paper, according to Caitlin Johnston. She details other "deals announced since the fall of 2011, [including] Warren Buffett’s purchase of his hometown Omaha World-Herald, followed this year by the acquisition of 63 newspapers owned by Media General."

"The industry overshot the interactivity early on," Carey noted, explaining that the first iPad "issues of titles, including Esquire and O: The Oprah Magazine, were loaded with multimedia and interactive elements," which have been toned down also because of technical glitches, writes Indvik.

"The network will offer new content and a consumer marketing campaign aimed at a younger, male Latino demographic."

Oops! Not a good few days for CW affiliate WGN, which made two flubs in its news reporting on Sunday night and Friday. The Sunday goof: Anchor Robert Jordan misspoke, calling Christkindlmarket, Chicago's German holiday market, "Kristallnacht" -- the name of the "1938 Nazi riot that destroyed thousands of Jewish businesses and synagogues," writes David Griner in Adweek. And on WGN's Friday morning newscast, two anchors reported that a small plane had just crashed on a Chicago street. Only problem: the crash was a fictional one, being filmed as part of a TV show.

News Corp. will stop publication of The Daily, its daily iPad newspaper, with its Dec. 15 issue, adding some of its roughly 120-person staff (including its editor in chief and publisher) and other assets to the New York Post.
