The Univision Network Partnership history

At the end of 1993, Univision's revenues had reached $104.7 million.

Univision won some praise from Hispanics (as well as some criticism by non-Hispanics) for donating $100,000 in 1994 to a group fighting the ballot initiative known as Proposition 187, which sought to deny government benefits to illegal immigrants in California.

As a subsidiary of Univisa, Galavision had not been included in the sale of SIN to Hallmark, but it was acquired by Univision in July 1996.

The company's long-term debt was $481.3 million in September 1997.

In early 1998 Perenchio held 26.5 percent of the Class A common stock, while Grupo Televisa and Venevision each held 10.3 percent, plus warrants that if exercised would nearly double their stakes.

Revenues for 1999 jumped to $693.1 million, a year in which Univision's workforce grew to 1,850.

At the end of 2000 Univision bought 13 television stations from mogul Barry Diller's USA Broadcasting Group for $1.1 billion, reinforcing its dominance of the Spanish language media industry.

In 2001, Univision Communications Inc. acquired USA Broadcasting, the station group of USA Networks, which included 13 full-power television stations.

In 2002 Univision formed TeleFutura, a new Spanish television network in the United States, with Televisa buying a sizeable (12 percent) chunk.

In 2003, Univision completed the acquisition of Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation to form Univision Radio.

By 2004 the merger with HBC had been completed and any goodwill between Univision and Televisa had turned into an all-out war for domination of the Spanish language television and radio markets.

In March 2007, Univision Communications Inc. was sold to Broadcasting Media Partners, Inc. which includes Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, Providence Equity Partners Inc., TPG Capital, L.P., Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., and Saban Capital Group Inc.

In May 2008, Univision Music Group was sold to Universal Music Group and combined with its Latin label to become Universal Music Latin Entertainment.

Univision On Demand also debuted in 2009, through distribution partners.

Similarly, Univision said it was considering action against Venevision, claiming that the Venezuelan network had not made available the nine hours per day of programming required by an agreement that locked in Univision’s rights to Televisa’s and Venevision’s telenovela output through 2017.
