Pacheco, who is of Puerto Rican descent, earlier let Daddy Yankee try on his two Super Bowl rings. The Super Bowl on TelevisaUnivision's over-the-air broadcast network broke records, the company said, averaging 2.3 million viewers across all of its platforms, the largest audience for the Spanish language broadcast of a Super Bowl. Still, it was a small contribution to the total 123.4 million viewers of the 2024 Super Bowl. "Seventy percent of the people that had watched the Super Bowl had not watched any other playoff games that year," TelevisaUnivision's Lowenstein said.

☆ Chile's Codelco must kick-start lithium industry while reviving copper output

At the same time, Codelco wants to boost its output of copper which has slumped to its lowest in a quarter-century. Some analysts have questioned whether the copper company with no experience as a lithium miner can tackle both challenges at once. But industry insiders told Reuters Codelco will probably focus its own resources on copper while negotiating contracts for lithium operations and letting other miners do the work. The sources said the lithium strategy was being led by executives including Jaime San Martin, manager of new business development, known by some within Codelco as "lithium man". "But I think lithium is an excellent opportunity for Codelco to help them navigate their very difficult copper situation."
