Telemundo’s “El Clon” (M-F 10PM ET/PT), the passionate love story that shed some light onto the Muslim religion and the science of human cloning, has surpassed all ratings expectations once again. The broadcast of the novela’s last episode (12/10/02 10PM ET/PT) captivated viewers who couldn’t miss the much-anticipated grand finale all over the United States. With nearly 1.1 million households watching, “El Clon’s” last episode delivered the highest audience for a novela finale in Telemundo’s recent history*.

“We are delighted that this amazing story, which captured the hearts of our viewers every night, had such a spectacular finale,” said Manuel Martínez, Executive Vice President of Programming and Production for Telemundo. “We are confident that our new epic “Terra Esperanza” will continue the tradition of outstanding Brazilian novelas in our 10PM slot.”
