Paquito Cordero - Telemundo Stops Transmitting Local Programs

Telemundo Stops Transmitting Local Programs

On February 25, 2005, Telemundo canceled Paquito Cordero's "El Show de las 12", the longest-running television show in Puerto Rico. Telemundo no longer transmits locally produced television programs and thus, is no longer a source of income to the local artistic class.

On the last airing of the show, Eddie Miró took the microphone and said these words:


Spanish
(original version)
English
translation
"Señoras y Señores...,

"El Show de las 12" ha muerto".
"Señoras y Señores...,

reflexionemos ante su deceso".
"Ladies and Gentlemen...,

"The 12 O'Clock Show" has died."
"Ladies and Gentlemen...,

a moment of silence for the deceased".

Famous quotes containing the words stops, transmitting, local and/or programs:

    The cigar-box which the European calls a “lift” needs but to be compared with our elevators to be appreciated. The lift stops to reflect between floors. That is all right in a hearse, but not in elevators. The American elevator acts like the man’s patent purge—it works
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Anyone who has obeyed nature by transmitting a piece of gossip experiences the explosive relief that accompanies the satisfying of a primary need.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)

    Hey, you dress up our town very nicely. You don’t look out the Chamber of Commerce is going to list you in their publicity with the local attractions.
    Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Dr. Matt Hastings (John Agar)

    Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
