TelevisaUnivision, Nielsen Sign Multi‑Year Measurement Deal
TelevisaUnivision and Nielsen announced a multi-year measurement and data agreement covering TelevisaUnivision’s national and local broadcast, cable, streaming and radio portfolio. The deal gives TelevisaUnivision access to Nielsen’s media intelligence tools and services, including advanced audience segments, ad-supported streaming platform ratings, Nielsen ONE Ads for connected-TV measurement, and expanded national out-of-home metrics. TelevisaUnivision said the arrangement supports cross-platform measurement of Hispanic audiences; Nielsen emphasized its capabilities to help grow TelevisaUnivision’s business. The agreement was finalized just ahead of the TV upfront season; buyers told ADWEEK that, without a Nielsen contract, they would have leaned more on alternative currencies such as VideoAmp and Comscore. The deal follows other recent Nielsen upfront agreements, including a March deal with A+E Global Media.
TelevisaUnivision Upfront Pitch: 'We Get Hispanics'
TelevisaUnivision positioned its 2026 upfront around a three‑pronged pitch to advertisers: sports, streaming and culture. John Kozack, who recently became President of U.S. Advertising Sales and Marketing after Tim Natividad’s April departure, told AdExchanger the company can deliver advertisers reach into US Hispanic audiences, which he described as a $4 trillion economic force. TelevisaUnivision says ViX is the fastest‑growing U.S. streaming service regardless of language and highlighted ViX MicrO, its short‑form vertical video product airing brand‑sponsored microdramas. The company also announced exclusive Spanish‑language streaming rights in 2027 for the Super Bowl and the Gold Cup and cited internal data that roughly half its audience does not watch English‑language sports elsewhere. Kozack emphasized the company’s audience graph (claimed to reach 98% of US Hispanics) as a solution to underrepresentation in third‑party data.
