Associated Press: Telemundo, the perpetual little brother to Univision in the competition between Spanish-language television networks catering to a U.S. market, is closing the gap this season with the help of fast-paced soap operas involving characters in the drug trade. So far this season, Telemundo’s prime-time viewership is up 23 percent to 1.46 million, while Univision is down 21 percent to 2.29 million. Telemundo has never beaten Univision in prime time, and the margin this year is smaller than it has ever been.
