Manuel Masalva, known for portraying Ramón Arellano Félix in Narcos: Mexico, is hospitalized in Dubai and remains in a medically induced coma after contracting a severe bacterial infection while traveling in the Philippines.

The infection was described as “very aggressive” by his manager, Jaime Jaramillo Espinosa, CEO of Jim Management, who confirmed Masalva’s condition as critical but stable. In late March, doctors discovered the bacteria had reached his lungs, prompting emergency surgery. He is currently being treated with antibiotics and has shown signs of response, according to Espinosa.

Masalva is receiving care outside his home country. As a result, his family and close friends have sought financial assistance to manage rising medical costs. Actor Mario Morán, a longtime friend, shared an emotional appeal through Instagram, asking for donations to a GoFundMe campaign set up for the family.

“My brother is fighting for his life far from home,” Morán said in Spanish.

Narcos: Mexico actor Manuel Masalva remains in critical but stable condition after being placed in a medically induced coma following the contraction of a “very aggressive bacteria” while traveling in the Philippines, Deadline confirmed.

Jaime Jaramillo Espinosa, the CEO of Mexican management agency Jim Management and Masalva’s manager, first relayed the news to the Los Angeles Times, which reported that Masalva is currently hospitalized in Dubai.

In late March, Masalva underwent emergency surgery after doctors uncovered the bacterial infection, which had then reached his lungs. Per Espinosa, he is on antibiotics and his lungs are shown to have responded to the treatment.

Fellow Mexican performer and close friend Mario Morán posted a video on Instagram prior to the weekend asking for donations to the family’s GoFundMe, given the international costs associated with Masalva’s hospitalization outside of his home country.

Univision, fresh off the closing of its sale to new owners and installing a new senior management team, is launching a new foray into the streaming wars.

The Hispanic media company announced plans to launch PrendeTV, which it says will be the only dedicated streaming service aimed at a U.S. Latino audience with free, ad-supported Spanish-language programming. PrendeTV is set to debut later in the first quarter of 2020 with 30-plus channels and 10,000 hours of on-demand programming.

PrendeTV (prende.tv) will comprise Spanish-language movies and TV series, including novelas, comedies, classic sports, documentaries, lifestyle shows and children’s programming. The service will be the exclusive streaming home for a range of programming drawn from Univision and Televisa’s libraries.

While Univision’s PrendeTV may represent the first free U.S. streaming service fully dedicated to Spanish-language programming, other AVOD providers feature Hispanic content as part of their offerings. Those include NBCUniversal’s Peacock Latino,...

Perhaps unsurprisingly, a season high number of viewers tuned in to “The Bachelorette” last night to see Clare Crawley exit the show having found love, and Tayshia Adams take her place.

A total of 5.3 million total viewers watched last night’s episode, which represents a 15% jump from last week and a 300,000 increase on the season 16 premiere. The episode’s 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 matches the premiere for a season high. ABC, like a couple other networks, turned to election coverage at 10 p.m., scoring a 0.5 rating and 2.7 million viewers off the back of “Bachelorette.”

Elsewhere on a very crowded night, CBS comedies “Young Sheldon” and “Mom” both returned to series lows. “Young Sheldon” scored a 0.7 rating and 6.5 million viewers, which represents a full 1 million fewer viewers than its previous low. “Mom” (without Anna Faris for the first time) came in with a 0.6 rating and 4.7 million viewers, down a sizable chunk...

Amid the ongoing election chaos, “The Masked Singer” kept the show going on Wednesday night.

The Fox singing competition topped the ratings charts with a 1.6 rating among adults 18-49 and 6.3 million total viewers. That’s pretty much exactly even on the week before, which is not too shabby considering the election furore going on around it. Later on, fellow Ken Jeong series “I Can See Your Voice” ticked up from last episode to a 1.1 rating and 4.3 million viewers, a 15% bump in the latter metric.

NBC managed to top its rival broadcast networks for the second night of election coverage, averaging a 0.8 rating and 3.4 million viewers across the night. It’s worth noting that the network’s coverage ran from 8-11 p.m., while ABC and CBS aired their regular schedules until 10 p.m.

ABC’s election coverage later in the night delivered a 0.5 rating and 2.5 million viewers. Prior to that,...

CBS’ Big Brother was the top-rated show in primetime Thursday, scoring a 1.0 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic to go along with 4.14 million viewers. It teamed with fellow reality mate Love Island to help the network finish No. 1 in the key demo overall in early Nielsen numbers. ABC was tops in viewers behind the second night of two Holey Moley specials

Both networks’ fast-affiliate numbers were impacted by local-market preemptions last night because of the NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football opener, Cleveland-Cincinnati, so some adjustments are likely. But so far, Big Brother‘s showing last night was even with last week’s Thursday offering while Love Island was up a tenth; both had to compete with the NFL season opener on NBC last week.

Holey Moley‘s special is up two tenths from last week’s part 1, which came after the competition show’s season finale.

The...

“Dancing With the Stars” began in controversial fashion on Monday night, as Carole Baskin of “Tiger King” fame made her first appearance, while an ad paid for by her late husband’s family aired opposite her debut in certain markets.

Numbers-wise, the premiere was clearly a success for ABC, as the latest season kicked off with a 1.3 rating among adults 18-49 and averaged 8.1 million viewers across its two hours. That represents a 30% ratings bump from last season’s premiere. The season 29 curtain raiser was also the highest-rated “Dancing With the Stars” premiere since 2017. Following that, the Disney-owned network’s “Vomo: Vote Or Miss Out” special scored a 0.4 rating and just under 3 million total viewers. The special, which featured a whole bunch of celebrities and politicians imploring the audience to “Vote or Miss Out,” was hosted by Kevin Hart on behalf of former First Lady Michelle Obama’s nonpartisan organization When We All Vote.

Once again, Big Brother finished first Wednesday night in the primetime ratings, delivering a 1.0 in the adults 18-49 demographic and 3.94 million viewers. The numbers held steady with last week and was enough to top the night in the demo. CBS also had the Wednesday premiere of Love Island (0.4, 1.67M), which ticked up in the demo from Tuesday’s episode. The network’s night ended with the premiere of 48 Hours Suspicion.

The Wednesday night results show for America’s Got Talent was on par with last week. NBC also aired the Inspire Change (0.2, 1.38M) special as well as a Chicago Fire repeat.

Over at the CW, Coroner hit an all-time time viewership high for the series. There was also good news for The 100 (0.2, 589K), which ticked up in the demo and saw its largest audience in a month.

CBS won the night overall in the demo, while NBC took the top spot in total viewers.

The Season 12 premiere of American Ninja Warrior set the bar Monday night, delivering a 0.6 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and 3.50 million viewers. The NBC athletic competition was down from its Season 11 average but ticked up a tenth from last week’s all-stars special. NBC ended the night with a repeat of Dateline and won the night overall in both the demo and total viewers.

ABC’s Monday was taken over by the finale of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever! was on par with last week and matched its season lows.

In the middle of CBS reruns of The Neighborhood, Young Sheldon and Bull, the Monday edition of Love Island held steady with last week’s numbers but slipped a tenth from Sunday’s edition.

Univision finished second overall in the demo among the broadcast nets with a lineup including La Rosa de Guadalupe, Médicos and the premiere of Dulce Ambicion.

Fox’s Monday night movie Draft Day (0.3, 1.36M) climbed a tenth from last week’s Love the Coopers, while the CW aired repeats of Penn and Teller: Fool Us.

The finale of “Tough As Nails” didn’t quite nail the landing for CBS.

The Phil Keoghan-hosted series signed off its first season with a 0.4 rating among adults 18-49, a tick down from the penultimate episode, and just over 3 million total viewers. Earlier on, “Big Brother” also lost a little ground, ticking down around 10% from the week before to a 1.0 rating and 4.1 million total viewers. Despite those slight set backs, CBS still managed to win the night overall, averaging a 0.6.

Over on NBC, a results episode of “America’s Got Talent” delivered a 0.6 rating and 5.4 million total viewers, the largest audience tally of the night. That’s even on last Wednesday’s episode on both metrics. An “Ellen’s Game of Games” replay followed with a 0.4 and 2.5 million viewers. NBC rounded off the night with a “Chicago Med” replay at a 0.3 and just under 2 million viewers.

NBC ended up in a...

The Tuesday night ratings race was a battle between the NBA playoff game between the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets, and the latest edition of “America’s Got Talent.”

In the end, the basketball came out on top, averaging around a 0.9 rating among adults 18-49 and 2.7 million total viewers for ABC. The game itself was the decider between two evenly-matched teams, and ended in a narrow 80-78 victory for the Nuggets.

However, “America’s Got Talent” easily got the viewership upper hand, drawing 6.1 million pairs of eyeballs to its latest episode, a three-week high for its Tuesday night showings. Last night’s episode came in at a 0.7 rating, even on last week. Following “Agt,” Canadian medical drama “Transplant” kicked off its U.S. run on NBC with a 0.4 rating and just under 4 million viewers. That’s not a bad return all things considered, and represented the largest audience tally in the 10 p.

After two weeks of the DNC and Rnc, regular programming began to resurface in primetime Monday night. American Ninja Warrior returned with a special all-stars episode, leading the night with a 0.5 in the adults 18-49 demographic and 3.48 million viewers. It was followed by a rerun of Dateline, with both shows giving the network the overall nightly victory in both metrics.

On CBS, quarantined romance continued to heat up on Love Island but it wasn’t hot enough; the reality dating competition slipped a tenth in the demo from last week’s Monday debut. In addition, the broadcaster gave audiences encores of The Neighborhood, Young Sheldon and Bull.

The Bachelorette: The Greatest Seasons – Ever! returned on ABC, ticking down in the demo and in viewership from its last airing. Meanwhile, Fox aired the holiday movie Love the Coopers, which was steady with last week’s movie presentation The King’s Speech.

ABC’s “The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever!” returned from a three-week break to its lowest ratings yet.

The “Bachelor” highlight show scored a 0.2 rating among adults 18-49 and drew only 1.5 million, roughly a 20% drop on both metrics from the previous episode. It remains to be seen whether the show can boost things a little with its final episode of the summer next week.

NBC won the night overall, thanks to an “American Ninja Warrior” special which delivered a 0.5 rating and 3.5 million total viewers. The all-star special which aired on Monday was shot after season 11 finished. Later in the night, “Dateline” scored a 0.4 rating and 2.8 million viewers.

Over on CBS, “Love Island” fared better than its reality counterpart, ticking up to a 0.3 rating and 1.6 million viewers. That represents the dating show’s largest audience since the season 2 premiere a week ago. Leading into it, replays of “The Neighborhood” and “Young Sheldon” both scored a 0.4 rating.

CBS’ unscripted combo Big Brother and Love Island helped the network to the top ratings spot Thursday, on a night President Donald Trump’s 70-minute speech from the White House lawn in primetime wrapped the Republican National Convention.

Big Brother scored a night-leading 1.0 rating and 4.01 million viewers, with the all-star edition off a tenth from Wednesday’s episode, which had matched season-best numbers in the demo. It was followed by Love Island, which ticked up a tenth compared with Tuesday’s episode to match its premiere demo number. CBS’ convention coverage followed.

As for that final night of the RNC at 10 p.m., ABC led among the broadcasters in early numbers from Nielsen, as it did for the final night of the Democratic National Convention. It combined with repeats of Holey Moley and To Tell the Truth to make the network the most watched of the night.

The quarantined second season of Love Island premiered on CBS on Monday and took a two-tenths hit from last year’s freshman debut. Still, the reality dating competition in which hot and bothered singles are essentially stuck on an island to find “love” scored a 0.4 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and 1.94 million viewers, plenty enough to finish No. 1 among primetime’s new offerings.

The first night of the Republican National Convention was on par with last week’s Democratic National Convention among the broadcast news networks. NBC and ABC tied in the demo followed by CBS in early numbers that are expected to adjust when finals are delivered.

Based on preliminary numbers, Univision beat Rnc coverage on all networks during its 10 p.m. Et time slot with Como Tú No Hay Dos. With La Rosa de Guadalupe and Médicos (0.4, 1.32M), Univision shared the No.

CBS took the top spot in primetime Wednesday, with Big Brother leading the way delivering a 1.0 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and 3.93 million viewers. The reality series dipped a tenth from last week, as did its lead-out Tough As Nails (0.4, 2.63M). The network’s broadcast of the third night of the Democratic National Convention from 10-11 p.m. Et ticked up from night 2.

It was NBC that won the night in preliminary Neilsen numbers when it came to the convention, which was hosted by Kerry Washington and featured Kamala Harris’s historic acceptance of the Vice Presidential nomination. The network’s coverage topped CBS and ABC.

The convention numbers are expected to be adjusted in finals.

As for the rest of NBC’s Wednesday lineup, the America’s Got Talent results show slipped a tenth from last week. The reality competition was followed by a repeat of Ellen’s Game of Games.

NBC won Tuesday in primetime with a fresh episode of America’s Got Talent, which took a two-tenths hit in the adults 18-49 demographic but still delivered a night-leading 0.7 rating. The reality talent competition also netted the largest audience of the night with 5.51 million viewers.

Of the three networks airing the Democratic National Convention in the 10-11 p.m. Et hour, NBC and ABC tied in the demo with a 0.3, but the Peacock was tops in viewers with 2.29 million. ABC’s telecast garnered 1.82 million viewers for Night 2 of the convention, while CBS scored a 0.2 in the demo and 2.01 million viewers. These numbers likely will be adjusted in the finals.

Outside of the DNC, ABC aired reruns of Modern Family as well as a new episode of What Would You Do?, which ticked down from last week.

Univision continues to perform well as the Spanish-language broadcaster took second place for the...

From Democrats and Republicans rallying against Trump’s handling of the pandemic to the emotional moment of silence for George Floyd to Michelle Obama’s memorable “It is what it is” speech, it was all about the first night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention on Monday night. However, it was all about which network came out on top. For night one, NBC and ABC led the night with its telecast.

Both NBC and ABC shared the top spot delivering a 0.3 in the adults 18-49 demographic with CBS just a tenth behind with a 0.2. ABC raced ahead in viewership, netting 2.12 million viewers while NBC garnered 1.91 million viewers. CBS earned 1.74 million viewers. Overall, it seems that all three networks were pretty even with the 2020 DNC. However, the numbers are expected to be adjusted in the finals.

Univision delivered a 0.4 rating with its demo average, sharing the top spot of the night with NBC.

The summer has been without the Marvel Cinematic Universe in theaters, but on TV, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been holding it down when it comes to the comic book world. On Wednesday, however, the drama said goodbye after seven seasons delivering its two-part series finale. The final hurrah delivered a 0.4 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic in the first hour, ticking up from last week and hitting a season high while drawing 1.64 million viewers. The second hour was down to a 0.3 in the demo and dipped to 1.35 million viewers.

ABC also served a fresh episode of United We Fall (0.5, 3.15M), which held steady in the demo, as well as a rerun of The Goldbergs.

CBS’ Big Brother climbed a tenth from last week as it settled in to its time slot. Tough As Nails (0.5, 3.06M) held steady in the demo, while the network’s evening ended with a repeat of Seal Team.

“Marvel’s Agents of Shield” gave its final salute on Wednesday night, airing its last ever episodes to strong numbers for ABC.

The two-hour finale averaged a 0.4 rating among adults 18-49 and around 1.5 million total viewers. That rating represents a seventh and final season high for the fan favorite show. “Agents of Shield” hadn’t scored a 0.4 rating at any point this season until its finale. Earlier in the night, “United We Fall” came in at a 0.5 rating and 3.2 million total viewers, almost exactly the same numbers as the Will Sasso and Christina Vidal comedy scored last week.

NBC and CBS tied for first place overall on Wednesday, as “Big Brother” led the way with a 1.1 rating and 4.2 million total viewers. That is in fact a 0.1 ratings point up tick from last week’s premiere, and also roughly a 600,000 viewer bump. “Tough As Nails,’ which was recently renewed for a second season,...

With Kelly Clarkson sitting in as a judge for a recovering Simon Cowell, America’s Got Talent was up a tenth from last week’s anniversary special, delivering a 0.8 in the adults 18-49 demographic and 6.67 million viewers Tuesday night in primetime. This marks the most-watched episode for the reality talent competition since July 15.

NBC’s World of Dance slipped a tenth in the demo to a season low but delivered its best audience since June 30. The pair helped the network dominate the night in viewers and the demo.

The CW last night served the season finale of DC’s Stargirl, which held steady in the demo and delivered its biggest audience in five weeks. The freshman superhero drama was followed by Tell Me a Story, nearly matching last week’s numbers.

Univision and CBS tied for second overall in the demo. The Spanish-language network’s Tuesday lineup included La Rosa de Guadalupe...

“America’s Got Talent” continued its weekly ratings drop, but nevertheless emerged way out ahead of slim competition on Tuesday night.

The NBC talent show, which last night saw Kelly Clarkson fill in for Simon Cowell who sustained a serious back injury over the weekend, scored a 0.9 rating among adults 18-49 and drew 6.7 million total viewers. While that represents a 0.1 ratings point drop from last week, it does represent a 500,000 viewer increase on the previous edition. Following “Agt,” “World of Dance” cha-cha slid to a 0.6 rating and 3.9 million viewers, a slight dip from last week.

Meanwhile over on the CW, the season 1 finale of “DC’s Stargirl” delivered the same 0.2 rating as it has done almost all season, but drew 861,000 total viewers, which is a 5-week high for the Brec Bassinger-led show. “Stargirl” has already been renewed for a second season by the network. “Tell Me A Story” came after with a 0.1 rating and 431,000 viewers,...

The Titan Games lived up to its name, ruling over Monday night in primetime delivering a 0.7 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and 3.55 million viewers in its season finale. The reality sports competition was on par with last week on a night of few originals, giving NBC the overall victory in the demo.

NBC wrapped its night with a two-hour American Ninja Warrior repeat.

Univision earned a 0.4 average in the demo, sharing second-place spot with CBS, the latter of which aired its Monday summer encore slate of The Neighborhood, Bob ♥ Abishola, All Rise and Bull and was the night’s most-watched network.

Dwayne Johnson’s “Titan Games” aired its second season finale to decent numbers on Monday night, leading NBC to an overall win.

The athletic competition show scored a 0.7 rating among adults 18-49, roughly a 10% up tick from the penultimate episode, and drew 3.5 million total viewers, which is pretty much the same tally as the last couple weeks. A replay of fellow physical competition show “American Ninja Warrior” followed that up with a 0.5 rating and 2.3 million viewers.

Over on ABC, the latest edition of the summer Bachelor Nation highlight show “The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever!” scored a 0.3 rating, which represents the fourth time in a row at that number. Around 1.9 million viewers tuned in to the three-hour affair, a three-week high.

The CBS show scored a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49 and around 3.7 million total viewers across its two-hour premiere.

Right before “Big Brother,” competition series “Tough As Nails” came in even week-to-week with a 0.5 rating and 3.7 million viewers.

After having a rough couple of weeks, DC’s Stargirl is doing Ok in the demo, holding steady while gaining traction with its audience — the best numbers the freshman superhero series has seen in four weeks. The CW closed its night with Tell Me a Story, which was also steady in the demo.

Univision continues to be a summer standout performer, sharing second place overall in the demo race with CBS for Tuesday. The network...

Most of the broadcast networks took Sunday off, with CBS’ 60 Minutes the lone original on the Big 4 and the CW and ABC topping primetime in both the adults 18-49 demographic and viewers with repeats of America’s Funniest Home Videos (the night’s top-rated show), Celebrity Family Feud, Press Your Luck and Match Game.

60 Minutes was up from last week and was the night’s most-watched program. The rest of CBS’ Sunday lineup included reruns of Tough As Nails, NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans. It tied with NBC in the demo (0.3) after the latter aired encores of Cannonball, The Titan Games and America’s Got Talent.

Elsewhere, Fox’s night featured a repeat of Last Man Standing followed by encores of its Sunday animation block of Duncanville, The Simpsons, Bless the Harts, Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy. The CW served reruns of DC’s Stargirl and Penn and Teller: Fool Us.

Univision’s La Rosa de Guadalupe was Thursday’s top-rated show in primetime among adults 18-49 (Live+Same Day), scoring a 0.6 rating in the demo, along with 1.63 million viewers. It helped the Spanish-language network tie with ABC for the overall win in 18-49 on a night that also included NBC’s 30 Rock special and the season finale of Fox’s Labor of Love.

ABC’s game-show trio all suffered slips last night, with Holey Moley and To Tell the Truth both off a tenth and newcomer Don’t dipping two-tenths after it was last week’s top-rated show.

Univision’s night also included Médicos and a Chivas-Club America soccer game.

NBC aired its one-hour 30 Rock: A One-Time Special, which returned the cast from Tina Fey’s acclaimed sitcom that ran on the network from 2016-2013 to promote the launch of new NBCUniversal streamer Peacock.

“There are no bad ideas, Lemon. Only good ideas that go horribly wrong.” – Jack Donaghy Thursday night’s “30 Rock” reunion special, which was really NBC’s upfront presentation and longform advertisement for parent company NBCUniversal’s new streaming platform Peacock, settled for a soft 0.4 rating among adults 18-49 and 2.5 million viewers. Those are not good numbers, but there are a few caveats that make them a little more understandable — and possibly even digestible for NBC executives. At first glance, the numbers look bad. “30 Rock: A One-Time Special” was outperformed outright in the 8 o’clock hour by ABC’s putt-putt golf competition “Holey Moley.” In the key demo in the same time slot, the Tina Fey/Robert Carlock nicety for NBC tied a rerun of CBS’ “Young Sheldon” and was topped by Univision’s “La Rosa De Guadalupe.” In terms of total viewers, in addition to “Holey Moley,” both “Young Sheldon...

Miami — “I must check it out. I’ve been hearing a lot about the show,” host Carson Kressley (“Queer Eye”) joked at Parrot Analytics’ 2nd Global TV Demand Awards as “Game of Thrones” swept two of its biggest plaudits: Most In-Demand TV Series in the World, along with Most In-Demand Drama Series. The awards ceremony took place Tuesday evening, Jan. 21, at the Natpe conference in Miami.

The other top kudo, for comedy series, went to “The Big Bang Theory.”

“Game of Thrones’” double whammy would be seen as many as a shoo-in, given that Parrot Analytics’ takes into consideration not only video viewing but viewer engagement across multiple platforms: Social media, peer-to-peer protocols, photo sharing, blogging, and research platforms.
