Univision Canada is a Canadian Spanish language specialty channel owned by TLN Media Group, in partnership with TelevisaUnivision, the leading Spanish-language media company in the United States. Univision Canada broadcasts a variety of programming, including news, dramas, talk shows, sports, and more.
In September 2006, Telelatino Network was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called Spanish Entertainment TV 1, described as "a national, ethnic Category 2 specialty programming service devoted to the Spanish-speaking community with a particular emphasis on programming of interest to female and youth audiences."[1]
The channel launched on October 23, 2007 as TLN en Español.[2]
On January 28, 2014, Corus announced that they would rebrand the network Univision Canada after reaching a brand licensing agreement with their long-term partner, Univision Communications, which had no presence of their main American network in Canada aside from fringe receptions of then-Seattle Univision affiliate KUNS-TV into the Vancouver market and Cleveland, Ohio owned-and-operated station WQHS-DT into parts of the London, Ontario market (Seattle is now served by Bellingham-licensed KVOS-TV).[3] The channel officially switched over to Univision Canada on May 5, 2014.[4]
On May 31, 2016, Univision Canada launched on Cogeco.[5]
Univision Canada airs programming from Univision, the most popular Spanish-language television network in the United States. It also airs programming from UniMás and TUDN. Unlike Univision in the United States, Univision Canada does not air programming from TelevisaUnivision's Mexican network, Las Estrellas, as that network is available on selected cable systems in Canada.
The service also produces and airs select documentary films and live entertainment specials created specifically for the Spanish-language community in Canada,[6] as well as the community newsmagazine series Nash.[7]

Univision (Spanish pronunciation: [uniβiˈsjon] ) is an American Spanish-language free-to-air television network owned by TelevisaUnivision. It is the United States' largest provider of Spanish-language content. The network's programming includes telenovelas and other drama series, sports, sitcoms, reality and variety series, news programming, and imported Spanish-language feature films. Univision is headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, and has its major studios, production facilities, and business operations based in Doral, Florida (near Miami). Univision is available on pay television providers throughout most of the United States, with local stations in over 60 markets with large Spanish-speaking communities. Most of these stations air full local newscasts and other local programming in addition to network shows; in major markets such as Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City, the local newscasts carried by the network's owned-and-operated stations and affiliates are equally competitive with their English-language counterparts ratings-wise. Randy Falco, who was executive vice president and COO since January 2011, took over as CEO in June that year after the departure of president and CEO Joe Uva in April 2011. In March 2018, Falco announced that he would be retiring and stepping down after seven years as CEO. In May 2018, Vincent L. Sadusky, having previously been CEO of Media General Inc. and CFO and Treasurer of Telemundo Communications Inc., took over as CEO, replacing Falco. In February 2020, Searchlight Capital Partners and ForgeLight acquired a 64% majority stake in Univision, with Televisa keeping their 36% minority stake. In December 2020, former Viacom CFO Wade Davis replaced Sadusky as CEO.

KAKW-DT (channel 62) is a television station licensed to Killeen, Texas, United States, serving as the Austin area outlet for the Spanish-language network Univision. It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside low-power, Class A UniMás outlet KTFO-CD (channel 31). The two stations share studios on North Loop Boulevard in Austin; KAKW-DT's transmitter is located in unincorporated Williamson County (approximately halfway between Austin and Killeen). Although the station is licensed to a community in the Waco market, most of its local programming and advertising is targeted at the Austin market.
TelevisaUnivision (formerly known as Univision Communications) is a Mexican–American media company that owns American Spanish-language broadcast network Univision and free-to-air channels in Mexico such as Las Estrellas, 5*, N+ Foro, and NU9VE alongside a collection of specialty television channels and production studios. Forty-five percent (45%) of the company is held by the Mexican telecommunications and broadcasting company Grupo Televisa, which was a major programming partner for Univision until the company sold their content assets to Univision Communications in 2022. Since its founding in the early 1960s as Spanish International Network (SIN), the United States' first Spanish language television network, the company has catered to Hispanic and Latino Americans. It is currently a multimedia conglomerate, with free-to-air and specialty, digital and audio networks, including 65 television stations, online and mobile apps and products. TelevisaUnivision's global headquarters is located in a complex known as "NewsPort", situated within Univision Way in Doral, Florida which also houses the studios of its Miami radio and television stations while the company's Mexican offices are located in Grupo Televisa's main offices in Santa Fe, Mexico City, Mexico.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
