The Univision Television Group also has one non-Univision full-power station and two non-Univision low-power stations and owns and operates three full-power stations in Puerto Rico. The Univision Television Group stations are the No. 1 Spanish-language stations in their markets and frequently outdeliver the English-language stations in total delivery of key demographics in the nation's top television markets. In addition to the Univision Television Group owned and operated stations, the Univision Network is also distributed through 64 broadcast television affiliates and 1,357 cable and Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) affiliates nationwide.
The TeleFutura Television Group owns 18 full-power and 14 low-power stations that provide the core distribution of the TeleFutura Network in the key markets, including Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, San Antonio, Phoenix, San Francisco, Sacramento, Albuquerque, Fresno, Denver, Orlando, Tampa, Philadelphia, Austin, Boston, Tucson, Bakersfield and Raleigh. The TeleFutura Television Group stations are often the No. 2 Spanish-language stations in their markets during key dayparts, surpassed only by market leading Univision stations. In addition to the TeleFutura Television Group owned and operated stations, the TeleFutura Network is also distributed through 23 broadcast television affiliates and 509 cable and DBS affiliates nationwide.
By providing the market's leading local news and public service programming in addition to the No. 1 rated, award-winning network programming, the Univision Television Group and TeleFutura Television Group stations establish a local presence and community connection in the largest Hispanic markets in the U.S. In 16 markets, the Univision Television Group and the TeleFutura Television Group benefit from the strength of a duopoly position - a Univision Network station and a TeleFutura Network station in the same market. All 16 duopoly markets are ranked among the top 40 Hispanic markets in the U.S.
Our Programming
In addition to carrying the blockbuster programming broadcast by the Univision and TeleFutura networks, the stations air local programming relevant to the issues affecting the local Hispanic markets. The stations are a trusted source of local news and information which builds and fosters a unique bond with viewers.
Local News
Univision has the highest rated local news broadcasts among Hispanics in the U.S. Coverage has significantly increased over the years through investments in staff and facilities for reporting local news. Today, all of the Univision full-power stations broadcast local news twice every weeknight, and most also broadcast weekend local news. The Univision local news is the No. 1 rated overall newscast in many markets, including all audiences, both Hispanic and non-Hispanic. Most recently, KMEX Univision 34 in Los Angeles and WXTV Univision 41 in New York led all other stations in the country during the first quarter of the year by securing the #1 and #2 early evening newscasts among all Adults 18-49, not just Hispanics.
Local Public Service Programs
Univision and TeleFutura stations air local public service programming and announcements covering topics of local and regional interest that are of importance to the Hispanic community. Programs such as “Voz y Voto” (Voice and Vote), reporting on political issues relevant to Hispanics in California and Texas and airing in cities throughout those states, or Miami’s "Ahora en Nuestra Comunidad" (Now in our Community) and New York’s "Noticias 41: En Tu Comunidad" (News 41: In Your Community) have helped the stations forge strong ties to the community.
