Fort Lauderdale’s newspapers, in both English and Spanish, provide news about these events. These newspapers cater to the mixed population of American, Latin, Mexican and Hispanic origin in Fort Lauderdale. Like newspapers from any other city, Fort Lauderdale newspapers too cover a variety of issues like business, travel, politics, sports, local events, culture, etc.

Fort Lauderdale is served by two English newspapers- the South Florida Sun Sentinel and the Miami Herald.

The Sun Sentinel, owned by Tribune Publishing (one of the giants in the publishing world) is Fort Lauderdale’s primary newspaper with over a million subscribers. Focusing mainly on local issues, Sun Sentinel offers great coverage of all the happenings in Fort Lauderdale. It covers issues like politics, travel, business, sports, weather and all issues that affect the Fort Lauderdale and Broward County.

The Miami Herald’s primary market is South Florida (Dade, Broward and Monroe counties). The Miami Herald serves South Florida’s multi-ethnic population with special focus on the American continent, tourism, international trade and commerce. It has over a million readers daily.

Fort Lauderdale is also served by two Spanish language newspapers – El Sentinel and El Heraldo.

El Sentinel is the name used by two Spanish language newspapers in Florida. El Sentinel del Sur de la Florida published in Fort Lauderdale, is a weekly Spanish-language newspaper. It is a Sun-Sentinel Company publication. El Sentinel (Orlando) is a weekly newspaper based in Orlando. This newspaper serves the Central Florida region

El Heraldo is a newspaper in Spanish mainly targeting Latin, Mexican and Hispanic readers. It covers the general news and happenings in the Fort Lauderdale area.

Fort Lauderdale newspapers provide enough information to stay in touch with the happenings locally and from around the world. Almost all the newspapers in Fort Lauderdale have websites too. This allows people to access news from anywhere in the world and know what is happening in Fort Lauderdale, be it politics, weather, sports or just about anything.

Satellite is a great option for many families simply because of the variety of programming available, and the inclusion of the much in demand technology of DVR. The two major satellite dish television providers compete heavily with each other, along with a few stragglers coming up the ranks and just earning their stripes.

The major difference between cable and satellite is sometimes the one solid reason families either choose to make the move or not, and that is, cable is underground and the satellite dish is installed on the side of your home or nearby location (garage, fence, car port, etc.). The installer will conduct tests to determine where the best reception is.

However, if you happen to live in a city that experiences some severe weather which includes high winds on a regular basis, you should discuss with your local office of the satellite dish television provider what types of options you have available to better secure your satellite dish so that when the wind kicks up, your dish doesn’t fall down.

These dishes are also notorious for being very sensitive to nearby tree branches that might hit or rub against the dish. Again, this depends on where the dish was installed but if you live in a confined area such as a condo complex or row houses, your chances of having a tree wreaking havoc on your TV reception are pretty high.

However, bad weather aside, satellite TV is as close to entertainment nirvana as you can get. If you can’t find something you want to watch (with hundreds of stations, movies, sports and music, this is pretty unlikely) you can always watch a show that aired yesterday or even last week with a push of a button. This is the new “video on demand” technology (DVR) from your satellite dish television provider that gives you the ability to not only watch any show that has aired, but to watch live TV, pause, rewind, and slow-mo any show (addicting for sports fans!). Forget the tapes and the VCR – this video on demand technology will fulfill dreams you haven’t even had yet!
