Univision paid Televisa royalties for $ 379.6 million in 2020 for broadcasting audiovisual content.

In the United States, Televisa’s audiovisual content is distributed through Univision Communications Inc. (Univision), the leading Spanish-language media company in the United States.

In exchange for royalties, Univision broadcasts Televisa’s audiovisual content through various platforms.

Televisa has an equity interest that represents approximately 36% on a dilution basis of the capital of Univision Holdings, Inc., the controlling company of Univision.
