Good news for Jennifer?

This could mean nothing or it could be great for latin music.

Univision buy makes UMG top Latin player

Here is the part that mentions Jennifer:

Univision Music Group was founded in 2001 by Jose Behar, the former head of EMI Latin. Behar started the label from scratch and turned it into the leading U.S. Latin label following its acquisition of indie Fonovisa. Univision's roster includes such top-selling acts as Marco Antonio Solis, Los Tigres del Norte and Los Temerarios. Although a large bulk of the music group's catalog falls under regional Mexican music, Behar made a concerted effort to diversify his roster, recently bringing in artists including Ivy Queen and Olga Tanon and such developing acts as Xtreme and Jennifer Pena.

Univision's marriage with Universal will unify Univision's strong regional Mexican roster with a major roster of pop and reggaeton acts signed to Universal and Machete, including Juanes, Enrique Iglesias, Paulina Rubio and Wisin & Yandel


Sounds like this will help the regional artists (like Jen, I guess) but have they given up on Dicen Que El Tiempo?
