Univision Communications Inc. (NYSE:UVN), the leading Spanish-language media company in the U.S., today announced that with just one day to go, the TeleFutura Network delivered explosive double digit growth during the current November Sweep period versus last year, resulting in its highest primetime performance ever compared to any sweep period in its history among key demographics of Hispanic Adults 18-34, 18-49, and Total Viewers 2+. During the November 2006 sweep, TeleFutura�s Adult 18-49 audience grew an impressive +61% in primetime compared to November 2005, while its Adult 18-34 audience grew +62%.

In addition, it has seen significant audience growth for its specially produced Spanish-language version of the �Family Feud� game show, �Qu� Dice la Gente?� as well as the introduction at 10pm of the original drama series produced exclusively for TeleFutura, the runaway primetime hit �As� es la Vida� (That�s Life).
