NEW YORK -- Broadcasting Media Partners Inc. ("BMPI"), an investor group including Madison Dearborn Partners, Providence Equity Partners, Texas Pacific Group (TPG), Thomas H. Lee Partners, and Saban Capital Group, announced today that following completion of its pending acquisition of Univision Communications Inc. (NYSE: UVN), Joe Uva will become Chief Executive Officer of Univision, the leading Spanish-language media company in the U.S.

Uva, 51, who is currently President and Chief Executive Officer of OMD Worldwide, an Omnicom company, will be based in New York. He will assume the CEO position at Univision effective April 1, 2007. The acquisition of Univision is expected to be completed in March.

Over the past five years, Uva has led the growth of OMD into the #2-ranked global media strategy and buying agency with over 100 offices in over 80 countries. He will have overall responsibility for all aspects of Univision's operations, including its television, radio, music and online divisions.

BMPI said, "Univision has enormous growth opportunities ahead of it, and we are very pleased that an executive with Joe Uva's broad media experience, leadership abilities, and entrepreneurial qualities will be driving our efforts to build value and take the company to the next level. Joe has a proven track record of achievement in a broad range of advertising-focused media businesses based on his effective strategy development, team building, sales skills, creative execution and new business expansion. While at OMD he structured the industry's first billion-dollar cross-media buying contract and attracted a stable of new clients while solidifying a global network and working to establish best practices around the world. He previously played a key role in the growth and development of Turner Broadcasting over a 17-year period. We are delighted to welcome him to Univision."

"I am excited to have the opportunity to lead a premier company that has redefined the American media landscape and is so deeply embedded in the lives of its audience," said Uva. "This is a company with tremendous strength that has fabulous growth opportunities. Its relationships with its consumers are unparalleled in the media industry. I very much look forward to working with Univision's outstanding management team, programming and industry partners, and leaders in the Hispanic community to build on the Company's legacy of innovation and success. At the same time, it will be difficult to leave OMD where I have had a very positive experience. OMD is a strong company with a deep management team that will move forward without missing a beat."

Uva has spent five years as President and Chief Executive Officer of OMD where he successfully led the company to be named Global Media Agency of the Year by Advertising Age Magazine in 2003, by Adweek and Campaign Magazines in 2005, and US Media Agency of the Year by Advertising Age in 2005.
