Quote:The movement #YoSoy132 succeeded. Not only was the blockade at Televisa Chapultepec successful - to the point that the station was forced to change their production - but it also inspired similar protests that interrupted the production of Televisa Deportes in London.
First, the protest forced Televisa to suspend production of their programs and change the location of their news transmissions. According to Radio Formula, the affected were:
1. The TV show "Hoy", with Maxine Woodside, had to be cancelled and replaced by a rerun.
2. The TV show "El Mañanero", with Victor Trujillo, was forced to relocate.
3. Productions of various soap operas had to do make-up in another place and then send people to the production site.
Forcing the largest broadcast station in Latin America to do that is no small feat.
Second, even though the media of Mexico chose not to give coverage to the protest, the blockade made it into the news of various countries. #YoSoy132 posted a list of media that transmitted the news:
