The night of September 9 appeared to fulfill all the promise
underlying NBC Universal's ambitious $2.7 billion acquisition in 2001
of Telemundo, the second-largest Spanish language television network in
the U.S. On that night, the NBC sibling carried President Obama's
important healthcare address to a joint session of Congress-on a slight
delay to allow for dubbing into Spanish-followed by its highest-rated
program ever, which reached more than 5 million viewers.
