The future for Venezuela after President Nicolas Maduro's capture

from Tiempo with Joe Torres · host WABC-TV, Joe Torres

On this edition of Tiempo, we take an in-depth look at the capture of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. The couple pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking and other federal charges in a New York federal court week. U.S. military forces captured the president and his wife last weekend in a military operation in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. Since then, country officials swore in Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as the interim leader, after what the Venezuelan Supreme Court called Maduro's kidnapping. Maduro and his wife will remain at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn until their next court date in March. Joining us to discuss is Alejandro Velasco, an associate professor of Latin American Studies at New York University. We also take a look at a report from Nielsen focusing on Latino viewer trends in 2025. The company studies and measures audience behavior across all channels and digital platforms. The good news is that Latino viewers are driving significant shifts in media consumption, with a high usage of many streaming services. Analysts expect strong ratings for Boricua star Bad Bunny's 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show. We talk with the folks at Nielsen to highlight the significant Latino footprint across American sports and pop culture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
