Univision Communications has its roots in the 1955 founding of KNOR-TV by Raul Cortez in San Antonio, Texas, which he sold to his son-in-law Emilio Nicolas and Emilio Azcarraga Vidaurreta, owner of Telesistema Mexicano, the forerunner of Televisa.
In 1962 the new owners use this station to form the Spanish International Network, the first television station in the U.S. that broadcast in a language other than English.
In 1987 the company was renamed and rebranded as Univision with new programming, including variety show Sabado Gigante and morning show Mundo Latino.
Today Univision Communications is the largest Spanish-language broadcaster in the United States, and its Univision network is carried by 1,400 broadcast and cable affiliates. The company also has 60 local broadcast stations and 70 radio stations.
Univision Communications is #801 in the Fortune 1000, is #179 in the list of Forbes Largest Private Companies, has 4,200 employees, and had $2.63 billion in revenue in 2014.

Completely disappointing and will be boycotting Enamorandos for hosts taking so much air time to play the role of the Spanish Inquisition when relating to a social media photo with Mark and Laura in PR. Such power given to hosts to humiliate participants. So shameful.

Es una vergüenza la porquería de adoración que ustedes le tienen a sus comerciales. En Galavisión en las mañanas, los noticieros mexicanos de Carlos Loret de Mola y Paola Rojas son interrumpidos una y otra vez para tener más tiempo para los cortes comerciales (que pueden durar hasta diez minutos). A veces uno termina viendo más comerciales de mierda que programación. En serio, ¿cuántas veces tienen que promover la misma basura? Les haría bien arreglar este “problemita”.
¡Y pensar que en el Reino Unido los cortes comerciales no están permitidos!

No lo puedo creer que haygan despedido a Barbara Bermudo. Una periodista con tanta experiencia y un enorme respecto al público. Esa no es manera de ganarle a la competencia. Eliminando a una mujer que a dejado 15 años bien dedicado a una cadena que no se lo merece!!

This is a MAJOR COMPLAINT!
I live in Honolulu and haven’t had Univisión for about a week now. I have called the local affiliate KHLU and just gotten a recording. No response. Went to the local cable provider and they had no idea when service would be restored. Grrr. I am paying for an extra package because I wanted Univisión.
In Honolulu we have very little access to transmissions in Spanish. Our Latino community is small. After we finally got Univisión, service has been irregular, but this is the longest they have been out of commission. I guess I am even angrier because I have missed the last few episodes of POR SIEMPRE JOAN SEBASTIAN.
Please HELP!!!!!!! I think your Univisión representative here is so rude for not responding. What can we do to get more consistent transmission?
Mahalo and aloha.

Good day,
I’m writing to express my discontent with the radio show “El Bueno La Mala y el Feo” a Spanish radio show that airs live from 6am-10am Monday – Saturday. Here in Los Angeles California. As we gear up for the Copa Centanario they currently have “La Lana Del Golazo” which is promotion to win up to $2500.00 dollars for radio listeners who call between 7am and 8am pacific time and answer 2 simple soccer questions. Today 6/3/16 after calling religiously every day since the ” la Lana Del golazo” started I finally was able to get thru the radio and be able to win. The person who answer from the show asked my name and I told him that my name was Hipolito Mexicano and I also told him that I was exited to finally be live on the radio with the potential of winning money. (To celebrate my bday since its tomorrow June 4th) after that he said for me to scream to show exicetement. Which I complied. Then he said that my scream was kind of wango meaning it was soft. Then i said to him again that I was very exited to be on the radio but this time I said it in English and responded that I was pocho. Next he asked me if In the past I’ve won anything on the radio. I said yes about 3 years ago with Piolon. Back when he was 101.9. He said okay and then he told me to wait on the line to be ready and that he will be right back. After 10 minutes of waiting they disconnected my call and got a different call from another radio lister. I am really disappointed because i feel cheated. I really really enjoy the show every morning it makes my commute trip short with their awesome sense of humor, their jokes and being super humble.

Please advise Jorge Ramos courtesy is a two way street. His behavior towards Trump was rude. Furthermore, an activist like Ramos who supports La Raza and it’s intent to re-claim Mexican territories it lost is not welcome in the United States.
