The show and the singer’s career were threatened last November, when Hernandez <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/nightmare-arrest-puts-larrymania-limbo-395392" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/news/nightmare-arrest-puts-larrymania-limbo-395392">was arrested on an outstanding warrant on kidnapping and assault charges at an airport in Ontario, Calif</a>., and extradited to South Carolina.</p><p><em>Larrymania</em> , the No. 1 Hispanic cable-television program among viewers ages 18-49, was one of the few series to survive last February’s <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/mun2-rebrands-nbc-universo-super-bowl-sunday-385293" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/news/mun2-rebrands-nbc-universo-super-bowl-sunday-385293">conversion</a> of youth-focused cable network mun2 into general-entertainment service NBC Universo.</p><p>Alluding to his troubles, Hernandez said, “This new season of <em>Larrymania</em> will no doubt be very special because many different things have happened in my life. This is a new chapter of my life I want to share with my fans.”</p><p>Production on the latest season of <em>Larrymania</em> began Jan. 23, with the filming of a concert at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theatre.</p><p>As a musician, Hernandez has become one of Latin music’s top regional Mexican artists, fueled by controversial “narco corridos” featuring lyrics and themes tied to Mexico’s drug-trafficking subculture. His career was put on pause Sept. 25, when Hernandez was prevented from boarding a Southwest Airlines flight from Ontario, Calif. to Denver by airport police.</p><p>He was arrested on an outstanding warrant from South Carolina, where he was charged with kidnapping, assault and assault and battery from an alleged August incident in that state.</p><p>“Larry remains authentic as ever to his fans,” <em>Larrymania</em> executive prodcucer Gloria Medel Solomons said in a statement. “Their love and support got him through some tough times this past year, and I'm excited that we will be giving fans a much-anticipated season in which they will continue to get an unfiltered look into Larry's life on- and off-stage, with a few surprises along the way.”</p><p>Put in a difficult spot, NBC Universo ultimately opted to support Hernandez — and to not put a top-rated series and its sponsors in a quandary. Reruns of the series and special compilation shows aired from Nov. 5 through Dec. 3 as Hernandez prepared his defense.</p><p>As of Jan. 29, Hernandez’s case had been pushed back, due in part to evidence from two video’s broadcast on Telemundo’s <em>Al Rojo Vivo</em> news program in late December. In one video, Hernandez and alleged victim Jose Andrade are seen walking into a hotel together on the alleged night of the assault. Footage shows Andrade exiting the hotel alone with no visible bruises.</p><p>Andrade had claimed that Hernandez had held him against his will in the hotel, wrapping him in plastic and beating him following a dispute over payment for a concert in Newbury, S.C.</p><p>A second video believed to have been shot inside the hotel room, though, includes the voice of a man believed to be Hernandez saying he will beat up Andrade and another concert promoter, Roberto Gomez.</p><p>At press time, Hernandez’s legal team was working to shore up additional evidence they believe will clear the star of all charges.</p>

The move reinforces NBCUniversal’s quest to attack and topple Univision, widening its fight from broadcast TV to the cable sphere.</p><p>In prepared comments, Mendiola said: “We will super-serve the Latino community with a universe of exciting viewing options in ways that are compelling and culturally relevant. Through this strategy, we are building a high-quality cable TV channel that we believe distributors are ready to embrace, advertisers are ready to support, and viewers will be drawn to.”</p><p>Mun2’s success with live sporting events — along with NBCUniversal becoming the new home of U.S. Spanish-language World Cup coverage for the next several years — fueled its transition to NBC Universo. In fact, the network’s official rebirth is concurrent with its U.S.-exclusive Spanish-language broadcast of Super Bowl XLIX. (NBC has the English-language rights.)</p><p>In particular, mun2 has seen considerable ratings and revenue success with telecasts of the Barclays Premier League, England’s top-level soccer league. Additionally, mun2 will air five National Football League games during the 2014 season.</p><p>But it is the audience growth and pending revenue bonanza tied to FIFA World Cup coverage set to air over the next several years that makes NBC Universo a draw before it even debuts. As NBC Universo, the network in 2015 will air the Men’s FIFA U-20 World Cup, with coverage from New Zealand, from May 30-June 20. Concurrently, the network will feature coverage of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, held in Canada, from June 6-July 5. NBC Universo will then feature coverage from the FIFA U-17 World Cup, to be held in Chile from Oct. 17-Nov. 8.</p><p>NBC Universo will also serve as the exclusive Spanish-language U.S. home to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; the NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series; and Spanish versions of the popular World Wrestling Entertainment programs <em>WWE Raw</em> and <em>WWE SmackDown</em>.</p><p>“Mun2 is now clearly well positioned to better serve its stakeholders across all its platforms,” NBCU chairman of Hispanic enterprises and content Joe Uva said. “The network’s transformation into a high-demand cable network is one of our company’s top priorities.”</p><p>To accomplish this, a shift to “Telemundo Deportes” was not made; such a move would have put NBCUniverso in a crowded marketplace with ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, beIN SPORT, Univision and Gol TV, in addition to niche networks imported from countries across Latin America.</p><p>Instead, NBC Universo will have an entertainment component — using a formula that has proven successful for Galavisión.</p><p>Staying on the programming grid for NBC Universo is the reality show <em>A Toda Gloria</em>, which follows the daily activities of Mexican pop star Gloria Trevi; <em>Larrymania</em>, a reality show featuring popular entertainer Larry Hernandez; and <em>Fugitivos de la Ley</em>, a true-life bounty hunter show.</p><p>It’s not yet known which mun2 shows will be getting the axe following its transformation to NBC Universo; specific programming details are slated to be released in early 2015, the network announced.</p><p>Mun2 was born out of the former Latina-focused basic-cable network GEMS Television, which originally launched in 1993.</p>
