WFUN-TV 48 to be known as Buenavision will hit the South Florida airwaves April 1st according to the Miami Herald. The station will be the 7th Spanish-language TV station and will feature Carribean oriented programing including a newscast for the Haitian audience.
In the last year South Florida has seen the addition of two other TV stations geared to Hispanic audiences - WSBS Ch 22 and WGEN Ch 8.

Hispanic station to debut
I could be late but it’s the first I seen of him at the top of the 4pm newscast today.
His name’s Don Guevara, previously worked at Central Florida News 13 in Orlando – came off bit aggressive in the live shot but nothing over the top. And easy on the eyes too 
Internal memo sez:
As you all know, the Geraldo show was canceled last week. Therefore, we will begin broadcasting 7 News at 4:30pm on Monday Jan 29. The newscast will be anchored by Lynn and Tom and produced by Jen Kloete.
The 4pm will not be a one hour newscast. Instead, the 4:30pm will have a separate open and a fresh lead story. To help with this new show, Andrew Shah will be moving off weekends to become the Executive Producer of the 4pm and 4:30pm newscasts.
While many stations across the country are cutting back, and having layoffs, 7News continues to expand and lead the nation in news coverage. Just another reason why we really are….The News Station

They shoulda done it that way from day one. Anyway, now if we can just get the newscast/s/ video podcasted and RSS-ed…
Boca Raton’s former police chief Andrew Scott has finally admitted what was already obvious – he used his power to help WPLG reporter Julie Summers get an interview from a contractor who was avoiding her … about a faulty sidewalk at a Boca Raton community! Very important indeed.
The story goes something like this: Chief Scott ordered a deputy to help Julie Summers get her interview. The deputy complied and on August 30 2006 he followed the contractor with a WPLG crew tagging along in an unmarked vehicle. When the contractor passed a stop sign the deputy pulled him over to write him a warning ticket and that’s when Julie Summers and crew made their move.
She got her interview but not before the contractor realized something wasn’t right and filing a report
The police chief resigned in September over this and other allegations of misconduct.
Julie Summers still plays reporter on Local 10

When WSVN decided to put Geraldo at 4:30pm after the 4 o’clock news I said he wouldn’t last and well … it’s just been announced Geraldo at Large is fading into the TV blackhole.
The reasons for the flop?
Most stations air At Large after 11:30pm. Soft ad marketplace, lack of good lead-ins and … too small and too old audience, duh, that didn’t justify “hefty production budget”
My prediction – 7News at 4pm will be one hour long, just like in Boston
