ABC en espanol

I don't usually blog items that are in Broadcasting and Cable or its companion mag Multichannel News but I get semi-daily updates from them and their Hispanic Television Update Newsletter and other newsletters, and I thought this was cool:

ABC Adds Spanish to Entire Primetime Slate

...
The network is about to become the first big broadcast network in the States to supply its primetime lineup entirely in Spanish — using a combination of dubbing and closed-captioning — and it's doing so on day one of its new fall schedule, Sept. 19.

I can't decide if this idea is past due, just about timed right, or ahead of its time. Actually, it's definitely not ahead of its time.

Previously, George Lopez [starring the Latino comedian] was the only ABC series that aired in both English and Spanish-language versions.
...
Casting is currently underway for Spanish-speaking actors to voice the roles on [Desperate] Housewives and Lost.

Hmm. So does George Lopez dub himself or what?
