Univision (Spanish pronunciation: [uniβiˈsjon] ) is an American Spanish-language free-to-air television network owned by TelevisaUnivision. It is the United States' largest provider of Spanish-language content.[2] The network's programming is aimed at the Latino public and includes telenovelas and other drama series, sports, sitcoms, reality and variety series, news programming, and imported Spanish-language feature films. Univision is headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, New York City,[3] and has its major studios, production facilities, and business operations based in Doral, Florida (near Miami).
Univision is available on pay television providers throughout most of the United States, with local stations in over 60 markets with large Latin American communities. Most of these stations air full local newscasts and other local programming in addition to network shows; in major markets such as Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City, the local newscasts carried by the network's owned-and-operated stations are equally competitive with their English-language counterparts ratings-wise.
Randy Falco, who was executive vice president and COO since January 2011, took over as CEO on June 29 of that year after the departure of its former president and CEO Joe Uva in April 2011.[4][5] In March 2018, Falco announced that he would be retiring and stepping down after seven years as Univision CEO.[6]
In May 2018, Vincent L. Sadusky, having previously served as CEO of Media General Inc. and CFO and Treasurer of Telemundo Communications Inc., formally took over as CEO, replacing Falco.[7]
In February 2020, Searchlight Capital Partners and ForgeLight acquired a 64% majority stake in Univision, with Televisa keeping their 36% minority stake.[8] In December 2020, former Viacom CFO Wade Davis replaced Sadusky to become CEO, effective as of the closing of the transaction.[9]
