Univision of Puerto Rico

What Univision of Puerto Rico does

Univision of Puerto Rico is the regional Puerto Rican operation of Univision Communications Inc., a subsidiary of TelevisaUnivision (NYSE: UVN). Univision Communications Inc. was founded in 1962 as a Spanish-language television network in the United States and merged with Mexico's Televisa in 2022 to form TelevisaUnivision, a global Spanish-language media company valued at approximately $4.8 billion at the time of the merger. The company operates linear broadcast television, streaming, radio, and digital platforms serving Spanish-speaking Hispanic audiences in the continental United States, Puerto Rico, and Latin America. Its Puerto Rico headquarters is based in San Juan.

The company's product ecosystem spans multiple platforms: Univision.com serves as the primary digital portal for news, entertainment, and sports content; the ViX streaming platform offers over 100 ad-supported Spanish-language channels with a premium subscription tier; TUDN provides sports content across soccer, NFL, NBA, MLB, Formula 1, and boxing; Uforia offers radio and Latin music streaming; Shop Univision is an e-commerce marketplace with an $8.99/month membership for free shipping; and Univision Now provides live TV streaming. Flagship programs include Noticiero Univision (24/7 news via N+), Despierta América (morning show), El Gordo y La Flaca (entertainment news), and original telenovelas such as La Rosa de Guadalupe. The company holds exclusive Spanish-language sports rights to Champions League, Liga MX, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Revenue is generated across four primary streams: advertising sales across television, streaming, and digital properties; subscription revenue from ViX Premium tiers; e-commerce transactions and membership fees from Shop Univision ($8.99/month); and affiliate/referral commissions through programs like Stores.com Cash (up to 10% commission). Customer segments center on Spanish-speaking Hispanic audiences in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, with secondary segments covering sports fans seeking Spanish-language live coverage. Distribution reaches consumers through broadcast TV, cable/satellite, ViX streaming apps (iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Smart TVs), radio, and the Shop Univision e-commerce platform. The company also operates local stations in major markets including New York (WXTX) and Miami (WLTX).
