Univision #1 Network for Entire Week Beating ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and CW

“Univision captured the #1 network ranking among all Adults 18-34, not just Hispanics, and outdelivered ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and CW for the entire first week of Nielsen’s single national panel (NPM).

In the first entire week (8/27/07-9/2/07) since all networks were reported from one single ratings sample, Univision ranked as the #1 network with an 11% advantage over its nearest competitor, FOX, and beating ABC by 43%, CBS by 42%, NBC by 57%, and fully 125% ahead of CW for all Adults 18-34, not just Hispanics. Univision was also the #1 ranked network all night every night Monday through Friday last week among the same coveted young adult demographic.

In addition, Univision aired 9 out of the top 20 programs of the entire week, regardless of language, among all Adults 18-34.

“Taking the #1 spot for the first week of Nielsen’s single sample NTI ratings, clearly demonstrates Univision’s ability to compete head-to-head with any and all networks,” said Alina Falcon, Executive Vice President and Operating Manager of the Univision Network. “Now with a single ratings source, advertisers can see, more easily than ever, just how important Univision can be as part of their overall media plans.”
