Company Profile
Boasting the Largest Spanish-language audience in the world (Nielsen), Univision is a television network based in America mainly targeted at spanish speaking families. The company’s beginnings date back to 1955, when Raul Cortez started a spanish-language network in San Antonio, Texas. As more hubs were added around the country, The Spanish International Network began to take shape. in 1986, the FCC mandated that the service was sold to a domestic organization. The name was then changed to Univision, and the network started to design their programming around a national audience. Univision acquired the Hispanic Broadcastic Corporation in 2003 and created Univision Radio, the largest spanish radio network in America. More recently, the addition of the Univision Deportes Network, a 24 hour sports channel, Univision tlnovelas, a channel that airs the highest regarded spanish novelas, and Uvideos, a bilingual channel, have all led to a seriously robust array of content. ABC News and Univision News have announced a multiplatform project entitled “Fusion” to empower and inform the Spanish Speaking demographic in America.
