built 114 days ago
The unhappy divorce of Univision Communications (UVN), the top U.S. Spanish-language network, and Mexico's Grupo Televisa, Latin America's biggest producer of hit shows, was a plot lifted from the telenovelas that made both successful. Now, NBC Universal's Telemundo is trying to gain ground.

Univision has contracts with Venezuela's Venevisión and Mexico's Televisa to showcase some of their novelas and other shows. They are listed by the year in which they first went on the air in their respective countries. On July 6, 2006, Univision and Televisa reached an exclusive program licensing agreement in which the network and its sisters, Telefutura and Galavisión would lose all rights to all programs produced by or for Televisa after 2017, unless a new agreement is reached before then. [5] Meanwhile, at this time little is known about Univision's agreement with Venevisión. Also, on May 14, 2007, Univision signed a deal with Walt Disney and ABC to produce programs for the network. Programs include a Spanish version of ABC's Desperate Housewives (Amas de Casa Desesperadas).

Univision dates its origins to 1955, when KCOR-TV, (later KWEX-TV), began broadcasting to the Hispanic community in San Antonio, Texas. That station was part of the Spanish International Network (SIN), Univision's predecessor. SIN was owned by Telesistema Mexicano, Mexico's largest private broadcaster and the forerunner of Televisa.

Univision is headquartered now in New York City, after years of being in Los Angeles, [1] and its major production facilities/operations are in Miami. It is available on cable in most of the country, with local stations in several markets with large Hispanic populations. Most of these stations air full local news and programming in addition to network shows. Univision's major programming is closed-captioned in Spanish, but unlike main competitor Telemundo, it almost never provides English subtitles.
