Business Wire
For the fourth consecutive sweep period, Univision (NYSE:UVN)
finished as the 5th broadcast network in primetime among Adults
18-49 -- that�s for all adults, not just Hispanics -- beating every
other broadcast and cable network to get there. Since being
included in the Nielsen Television Index (NTI), Univision routinely
beats at least one of the Big 4 English-language networks. This
November sweep period Univision outdelivered ABC, CBS, NBC or FOX
on 11 out of 28 nights, or 39% of the sweep period, among Adults
18-34. Univision�s powerhouse primetime lineup of blockbuster
novelas, evening talk, investigative newsmagazine, and musical
specials was instrumental in cementing its position amongst the Big
5 broadcast networks. The extraordinary popularity of its 8pm
novela �La Fea M�s Bella� (The Prettiest Ugly Girl) established
Univision as the country�s #4 network among All Adults 18-34 Monday
through Friday in its time period and outdelivered such popular
programs as NBC�s �Law & Order,� �Las Vegas,� �Friday Night
Lights,� and �Deal or No Deal;� CBS�s �Cold Case� and �The Unit;�
and ABC�s �Daybreak� and �Wife Swap.� Also, on the opening night of
this competitive sweep, Univision�s broadcast of the Latin GRAMMY�
Awards made it the #4 network among All Adults 18-34 and 18-49 in
the country reaching more than 11 million total viewers. �Ranking
#5 in our fourth consecutive sweep period leaves no doubt about the
size and power of our loyal audience,� said Alina Falc�n, Executive
Vice President and Operating Manager of the Univision Network. �And
our ability to outdeliver one or more of the other Big 4 networks
on a regular basis shows that Univision must be considered an
integral part of any national television media plan.� Additionally,
Univision delivered more than four times the primetime audience of
Spanish-language competitor Telemundo. Locally, Univision stations
enjoyed equally impressive November sweep results. In Los Angeles,
Univision�s KMEX was #1 in the market, beating all other stations
among Adults 18-34 and Adults 18-49, in Primetime, Daytime, Early
and Late News, and Total Day. In Dallas, Univision�s KUVN was #1 in
