TELEVISA SUES UNIVISION FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF
ON INTERNET DISTRIBUTION IN U.S.
July 19, 2006, Mexico City, Mexico - Grupo Televisa, S.A. ("Televisa";
NYSE:TV; BMV:TLEVISA CPO) ("the Company") announced that it has filed a
lawsuit today in Los Angeles Superior Court against Univision to obtain a
declaratory judgment affirming Televisa's right after December 19, 2006 to
distribute in the U.S. over the Internet the television programming that it
currently supplies Univision under their Program License Agreement ("PLA").
Televisa said that it is seeking the judgment as it proceeds with its
options to build its business in the growing US Hispanic marketplace. The
Company also stated that this litigation is separate from existing legal
action asserting breaches of the PLA by Univision. That litigation is
currently pending in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
Televisa is represented by attorneys Marshall B. Grossman of Alschuler
Grossman Stein & Kahan LLP (Los Angeles), and Herbert M. Wachtell of
Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (New York City).
