TelevisaUnivision and DirecTV have announced a multi-year agreement for expanded distribution of TelevisaUnivision’s properties in the US.

Under the agreement, DirecTV satellite, satellite-free streaming, and U-verse customers can continue to watch Spanish-language content in the country from all of TelevisaUnivision’s broadcast and cable networks, including Univision, UniMás, TUDN and Galavisión, as well as from its portfolio of owned and operated local stations serving the nation’s largest Hispanic communities.

In addition, DirecTV is now including TelevisaUnivision’s US properties within its new MiEspañol Genre Pack, which features more than 60 channels showcasing the best in Spanish-language programming, including Univision, UniMás, TUDN and Galavisión, and other channels. MiEspañol will also expand soon to include ViX Premium with Ads, TelevisaUnivision’s global streaming service, at no additional cost beyond the usual $34.99/month subscription.

“We’re excited to expand our partnership with DirecTV, reflecting the continued dedication to our audience and the recognition that Hispanics are a fast-growing part of mainstream America,” said Mike Angus, Executive Vice President of Global Distribution and Partnerships at TelevisaUnivision. “This deal not only ensures our industry-leading content reaches millions of viewers but also solidifies our position as the definitive leader in media among US Hispanics.”

“Whether it’s news, live sports, telenovelas and general entertainment, local civic affairs or any of its other key genres, TelevisaUnivision is synonymous with some of the very best in Spanish-language programming,” added Rob Thun, Chief Content Officer at DIRECTV. “We look forward to continuing what has proven an important and mutually beneficial relationship for the next several years.
