Galavisión 2004 – 2005.

Univision Communications Inc. unveiled the Galavisión Network’s 2004-2005 lineup during its Upfront presentation at New York’s Lincoln Center.

“As the undisputed Spanish-language cable network of choice, Galavisión’s fantastic success has been fueled by the immense popularity of its Spanish-language programming,” said Ray Rodriguez, President and Chief Operating Officer, Univision Television Networks. “Galavisión’s viewership and ratings have skyrocketed since we changed our format from a mix of English and Spanish to all Spanish-language programming, and we expect those increases to continue.”
