                                <p>Spanish-language broadcaster Univision Communications, two years after buying struggling online media properties Gizmodo Media Group and satirical online publisher The Onion, said it is exploring the sale of both.</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="eMy5u7pvcayJmcBH5GqAsd" name="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/eMy5u7pvcayJmcBH5GqAsd.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/eMy5u7pvcayJmcBH5GqAsd.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><p><a href="https://www.nexttv.com/tag/univision" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/tag/univision">Univision</a> said the sale would allow it to focus on its core assets and strengthen its position as a leading broadcaster for the U.S. Hispanic community.</p><p>Gizmodo Media Group includes online sites Gizmodo, Jezebel, Deadspin, Lifehacker, Splinter, The Root, Kotaku, Earther and Jalopnik. The Onion portfolio includes The Onion, Clickhole, The A.V. Club and The Takeout.</p><p>Univision tried to sell a 20% interest in the publishing unit last year for $200 million, but had no takers.</p><p>The news is just another in a series of shakeups at Univision over the past several months. On March 6 it said it would shelve plans for an initial public offering and a day later said CEO Randy Falco would retire. </p><p><a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/falco-nears-univision-exit-418562" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/news/falco-nears-univision-exit-418562">Related: Falco Nears Univision Exit </a></p><p>Reports over the past few weeks have said that Univision was contemplating a sale of <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/tag/fusion-media-group" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/tag/fusion-media-group">Fusion Media Group</a>, the unit that includes Gizmodo Media, The Onion and television properties Fusion TV, El Rey and websites for its Univision television channel – Univision.com and Fusion.net. According to Univision, the TV assets will not be included in any sale.</p><p>Univision has struggled to monetize the Gizmodo sites, and <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/univision-looks-sell-gizmodo-media-group-onion/">according to reports</a>, staffers were recently pressured into taking buyouts to avoid heavier layoffs. </p><p>Univision purchased the publishing properties in 2016, shortly after their parent – <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/tag/gawker" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/tag/gawker">Gawker Media</a> – declared bankruptcy after losing a $140 million libel suit against professional wrestler Hulk Hogan. Hogan had sued – with the financial backing of PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel – after the Gawker site published excerpts from a sex tape of Hogan and the wife of his friend, shock-jock Bubba The Love Sponge.</p><p>Univision said it has engaged Morgan Stanley as an advisor for the process, adding that there is no guarantee a deal will be reached. </p>

                                <p>Last week during the cable portion of the Television Critics Association summer tour executives and celebrities spoke to TV writers at length about their original programming projects.</p><p>Yet some of the talent and execs onstage couldn’t avoid answering some off-topic questions I’m sure they would have rather avoided, while others jumped at the opportunity to address what many may perceive as touchy subjects.</p><p>So here are five off-the-cuff topics that executives and celebrities addressed during last week’s TCA sessions.</p><p><strong>Actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on recent revelations of racially-tinged comments from WWE star Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea:</strong></p><p><em>"I was pretty disappointed with what I heard, like all of us. I’ve known Terry for a lot of years, and my dad helped train him in Florida in the ’70s when he was breaking in the business. And my uncles helped train him, too, as well. So I have not known the man to be racist. It’s one of those things -- and not justifying what he said -- we’ve all talked trash, especially in private. And he said what he said, and he’s paying the price."</em></p><p><strong>HBO president programming Michael Lombardo on the violence in ‘Game Of Thrones’:</strong></p><p><em>"This show has had violence as part of one of its many threads from really the first episode. I can’t speak to any single person’s particular taste or saturation point. I think the show is phenomenal … I think the show continues to grow dramatically. I think there’s no two showrunners who are more careful about not overstepping what they think the line is … I support them fully artistically."</em></p><p><strong><em>Orange Is The New Black</em> actress Lea DeLaria on the show’s influence on the awareness and perception of the LGBT community:</strong></p><p><em>"I have to say that a large part of what we’ve done as a part of the politics of the LBGT community has been about gaining our rights, fighting for our rights, achieving our rights. And recently it’s been turned a little bit more towards winning the hearts and minds of people. And I feel very strongly that `Orange Is the New Black' has been very important in that part of what’s happened to us and our community."</em></p><p><strong>Discovery Channel’s <em>Racing Extinction</em> producer Fisher Stevens on the killing of Cecil the lion and why there seems to be an increase in wildlife game hunting:</strong></p><p><em>"People are getting wealthy … there is a new economic middle class and upper middle class forming in certain places that is craving these things, that’s making the market go. [But] you are hearing about a lot of it now, too, because of the Internet and because of social media and because there are people capturing these images that are hopefully, like what just went on with Cecil,</em><em>helping the world become aware of what is going on."</em></p><p><strong>Adobe head of MVPD industry strategy Jennifer Cooper on the ability of Adobe and Nielsen’s new partnership to measure non-traditional television viewers for advertisers:</strong></p><p><em>"One of the reasons from a strategic perspective Adobe and Nielsen are partnering is actually to address that problem and others because Adobe is inherently measuring nonlinear television audiences in every channel. When we bring the measurement into a single view, it will actually help the advertising community to bring those audiences together."</em></p>

It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs. It is not who I am. I continue to work every day to improve as a person, and this matter is an important learning experience for me in that regard. As a result I am resigning from my contractual relationship with the WWE.”</p><p>The WWE also reportedly has removed Hogan from its social media materials, including its WWE.com website.</p><p>Most recently Hogan appeared as part of the WWE and USA Network’s reality show <em>Tough Enough</em>.</p>
