XHTV 4 (local relays on 6/7/10)

10:00 Telemundo (Jacobo Zabludovsky was a busy guy, not only co-anchoring Telemundo with Miguel Aleman Velasco for Canal 4, but also doing the morning editiorials for Canal 2 as well)

I believe Zabludovsky was more or less Mexico's Walter Cronkite -- very popular guy who had a long career.

6:45 El Gordo y El Flaco (Laurel & Hardy?)

Yes, that ("Fatty and Skinny") is how L&H are known in the Spanish-speaking world.

Happening a Go Go? Mexican Bandstand Shindig?

Yes, that ("Fatty and Skinny") is how L&H are known in the Spanish-speaking world.

I remember "24 Horas" with Zabludovsky on KWEX San Antonio in the late '70s.
I think that what was then SIN (Spanish International Network) was getting
the live feed from Televisa since he came on around 10 PM (Central). When
did the broadcast adopt that name?

Also, when did "Siempre en Domingo" with Raul Velasco start?

7:15 El Canejo de la Suerte

On a second read through the schedule, I noticed this slightly typoed listing: "El Conejo de la Suerte" ("Lucky Rabbit") would be Bugs Bunny, as he is known in Mexico. (Somewhere, buried in a box, I have an old Mexican Looney Tunes comic book that refers to Bugs thusly...)

As I recall, Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig were just called "Elmer" and "Porky." I don't remember what they called Daffy Duck ("El Pato Loco," perhaps?)

BTW, if you ever see "Dos Pájaros Locos" ("Two Crazy Birds") in a Mexican schedule, that's Heckle & Jeckle.

Circa early 90's or so, Telemundo had a morning show consisting of poor prints of badly dubbed Looney Tunes. One day, I happened to tune in and caught the last minute or so of a Spanish-dubbed version of "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips," one of the infamous "Censored 11" WB cartoons that have generally not been televised for many years because of racial or ethnic stereotypes.

I believe the news program became 24 Horas in 1972, and retained that name well into the 90s.

Televisa's veteran news anchor nowadays is Lolita Ayala, who reportedly has been with the network since 1987 and is best known for keeping a pink rose in a vase on her news desk.
