New Affiliation Delivers Critical Spanish-Language News and

Entertainment To Serve Hawaii's Fastest Growing Population

Univision Communications Inc. (NYSE: UVN), the fifth largest television network in the United States and the leading Spanish-language television broadcast company, announced that it has entered into an affiliation agreement with HTV Hawaiian Television to expand the Network's geographic reach to the burgeoning Hispanic presence in Hawaii. The two-year network affiliation for Oahu, Hawaii will create the Island's premier Spanish-language station, K60FJ Honolulu-Channel 60, broadcasting Univision programming to the strong Hawaiian Hispanic community continuously each day. Univision currently reaches an unprecedented 92% of the nation's 31 million Hispanic market from coast to coast. The agreement expands Univision's broadcast affiliates to 33 nationwide.

"We are extremely pleased to be partnering with HTV Hawaiian Television to meet the needs of this explosive and important market," said Henry G. Cisneros, President and Chief Operating Officer of Univision Communications Inc. "Through Univision's unique understanding of the preferences of the Hispanic population, we expect to attract a broad and diversified audience who have previously been underserved. In addition, our increased presence in Hawaii, specifically in Honolulu which ranks 48th among the largest Hispanic markets in the U.S., demonstrates Univision's firm commitment to remaining the nation's leading Spanish-language broadcaster and reflects the growing importance of multicultural communications throughout the United States."

"We are delighted to broadcast Univision programming to the Hispanics living on Oahu, who represent nearly ten percent of the Island's population," said C. T. Ryder, General Manager, K60FJ Honolulu-Channel 60. "Hispanics are the fastest growing population in the state, which validates the need for a dedicated Spanish-language network of Univision's caliber. Univision's outstanding content will immediately place us among the leading television stations in Oahu."

Prior to becoming a Univision affiliate, K60FJ Honolulu-Channel 60 was an independent station, broadcasting fine arts programming. The State Legislature and Governor of Hawaii recently authorized a $10 million State bond for C. T. Ryder. The proceeds from the bond would go towards the construction of a state-of-the-art production facility to supplement K60FJ's current Honolulu television station.

(NYSE: UVN), the leading Spanish-language television broadcast company in the United States, reaches 92 percent of U.S. Hispanic households through its 19 owned-and-operated stations, 33 broadcast affiliates, and 1,029 cable affiliates nationwide.
