Perhaps they don't have the SAP (secondary audio programming) equipment. Be aware that many shows in Spanish are either made in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela and a few others, and they all have their dialects and slang - some Spanish-speakers have a hard time following certain dialects.

On a side note...other shows on the Spanish stations look totally wierd, i.e., stupid, lol. Kinda like a Hispanic gong show.

That's gotta be Sábado Gigante - it's been running in Latin America for over 50 years. Four hours or so of silly games, interviews, entertainment and less than subtle plugola every Saturday night. The host (Don Francisco - real name is Mario Kreutzberger) is Chilean and the show is aired in Miami.

Walter Mercado. He's a very famous (and very bisexual) astrologer that hails from Puerto Rico, popular for his annual horoscope and predictions for the coming year. His magazine annual usually flies off the shelves in Miami's Hispanic communities. He dresses way over the top like some exotic magician, but I think it's part of his shtick.
