In the early-mid 90s when the cable company in the town I live in (Bristol, Connecticut) upgrade the system from the 46 channel lineup to the 78 channel line-up they added Univision's WXTV Channel 41. Back then WXTV wasn't on 24/7 and there would be nothing on Cable Channel 17 when they were off the air. Then at 530AM a slide with the WXTV Logo would come on the screen and they'd play guitar music in the background. It wasn't Spanish language guitar music I don't think. Does anyone know if this guitar music had a name?

One morning I had this on and my dad heard the music, but didn't see the screen and he said "What is that guitar music? The Playboy Channel?" I said "Nope. It's the Univision Spanish Network".

About a year or two later WXTV was replaced by the national Univision feed, but was still listed as WXTV on the Prevue Channel and on the Channel Chart.


For about 2 months we had the national Univision feed on Channel 17 and the local Univision affiliate WUVN on Channel 18. Then they switched Channel 17 to duplicating WUVN until that July when some channels were moved around so they could add ShopNBC, which had been the network WUVN had been affiliated with prior to their switch to Univision.

Different music for different languages? Now it could have been a spanish language song tune, but the actual tune has no spoken language.
