For 40 years, Univision has continued to be a pioneer in the broadcast industry, dedicated to serving Hispanic America. In 1970, Univision became the first U.S. network to cover World Cup Soccer live. In 1976, Univision became the first U.S. broadcast network to link its affiliates via satellite. In 1981, Univision was the first company in the U.S. authorized to receive programming from a foreign country via satellite. In 1992, A. Jerrold Perenchio, Televisa and Venevision formed a partnership to acquire Univision from Hallmark Inc., bringing together extensive broadcasting, programming and production experience. This alliance has succeeded in making Univision not only the largest Spanish-language network in the U.S., but also the fifth largest network overall.
