Univisión


 

Univisión Communications (also known as Univision or in Spanish, Univisión) is the largest Spanish-language television network in the United States, and overall the fifth largest American network (only Fox, ABC, NBC, and CBS are larger). Univisión is credited with turning what used to be three separate markets (Puerto Ricans in the eastern United States, Cuban-Americans in south Florida, and Mexican-Americans in the southwest) into what advertisers now consider a single national Hispanic market.
