Why Them? Under this duo’s stewardship, Univision has grown from a niche broadcast network to a multimedia and multiplatform content company. During February Sweeps, Univision trumped NBC, finishing as the fourth placed network among 18-49s for the first time. Its newly launched cable nets continue to pick up distribution gains, with DirecTV recently agreeing to launch Deportes, tlnovelas and ForoTV. They already are working on more carriage with Fusion, its English-language jv with ABC News, launching later this year. As if they didn’t have enough on their plates already, Univision just made a strategic investment in the soon-to-launch El Rey, the creation of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez and FactoryMade Ventures.
