MIAMI — A subscription streaming service that lets you watch live and on-demand TV from 85+ top networks has just added Univision, UniMás and Galavisión to its lineup — giving it a huge boost in its appeal to Spanish-speaking TV consumers.
The three Univision Communications-owned networks are now available on YouTube TV.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The agreement also includes markets where Univision has owned broadcast stations, placing them on the local lineup in such markets as Miami, New York, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles and Chicago.
“We are delighted to partner with YouTube TV to expand Univision’s robust portfolio of networks and stations to include YouTube TV,” said Hamed Nasseri, Univision’s VP of Content Distribution. “Amid the popularity of streaming services as well as the growing influence of our Hispanic community, this is an important step to ensure that our audience has access to our leading Spanish-language news, sports, and entertainment wherever they consume content. We are excited for today’s launch and recognize YouTube TV’s continued commitment to serving our growing and influential Hispanic audience.”
In addition to Univision’s live network and local programming, YouTube TV will also carry the company’s video-on-demand (VOD) content. YouTube TV subscribers will also be able to get authenticated access to the Univision App, the company’s TV everywhere platform, using their YouTube TV credentials.
