News Corp’s new TV network dubbed MyNetworkTV, which is comprised of English-language versions of telenovelas (like that would work?), is attracting about as many viewers as some of the lowest-rated cable channels.

President Peter Chernin said in yesterday’s earnings conference call. News Corp. is moving to revamp the network’s programming, so stay tuned. (WSJ sub. req.)
