Univision Communications Inc. announced that its portfolio of television networks featuring Univision, UniMás, Galavisión, and TUDN are set to conclude the 2019/2020 broadcast season as the fastest growing media group in the U.S. with an average audience increase of +12% and +16% in primetime among Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34, respectively.
Univision’s portfolio growth will place it ahead of FOX Entertainment Group (+4% in Adults 18-49) as the fastest-growing in the industry while Disney-ABC Television Group (-11% and -16%), NBCUniversal (-16% and -20%) and ViacomCBS (-19% and -23%) each report double-digit year-over-year audience declines in the demos.
“Programs like Como Tu No Hay 2 and La Usurpadora from our partners at Televisa, our Turkish hit Amor Eterno and reality matchmaking series Enamorándonos, resonate with our audience because they stay true to our guiding principle of providing our viewers with inspiring, dynamic and uplifting content we know they crave. This is coupled with our award-winning news programs, the No. 1 most trusted source of news for Hispanic America, delivering more hours of weekly news content than any other broadcast network, and our world-class soccer offerings thrilling our audience week after week. We are excited for the future and look forward to unveiling our upcoming slate during our Upfront presentation on June 16th,” said Jessica Rodriguez, Univision’s CMO and president of Entertainment.
