Miami, FL--(HISPANIC PR WIRE) --With one day to go in this all important February sweep period, Univision outdelivered ABC, CBS, NBC or FOX on 11 out of 27 nights, or 41% of the sweep period, among Adults 18-34.

 

According to the Nielsen Television Index (NTI), Univision has also once again ranked as the 5th broadcast network in Primetime among all key demos including Total Persons 2+, Adults 18-34 and 18-49, and Teens 12-17, that’s for all viewers, not just Hispanics -- beating the other broadcast and cable networks to get there.

 

Univision’s powerhouse Primetime lineup of blockbuster novelas, evening talk, investigative newsmagazine, sports and musical specials was instrumental in cementing its position amongst the Big 5 broadcast networks. The extraordinary popularity of its 8pm novela “La Fea Más Bella” (The Prettiest Ugly Girl) established Univision as the country’s #3 network among All Adults 18-34 Monday through Friday in its time period and out delivered such popular programs as NBC’s “Law & Order,” “Las Vegas,” and “Friday Night Lights,” CBS’s “Cold Case,” “NCIS,” and “The Unit;” and ABC’s “Boston Legal” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” among others.

 

Also during this competitive sweep, Univision’s broadcast of the 19th Annual “Premio Lo Nuestro” Latin Music Awards reached 11.4 million total viewers, and was the most-watched edition of the popular broadcast ever among Total Persons 2+, Households, and Teens 12-17.

 

Another ratings highlight for the period was the telecast of the U.S.A. vs. Mexico soccer match on February 7, which reached a total of 9.7 million viewers and was the #2 most-watched Spanish-language sportscast in history. The highly-anticipated match-up beat every Super Bowl game among Hispanic Adults 18-49, Men 18-49, and Total Persons 2+.

 

“Once again, Univision has shown its ability to attract an audience of the size and scale of the Big 4 networks,” said Alina Falcón, Executive Vice President and Operating Manager of the Univision Network, “and provides advertisers an unparalleled vehicle for reaching this country’s most dynamic and fastest growing consumer segment.”

 

Additionally, Univision delivered more than four times the Primetime audience of Spanish-language competitor Telemundo.
