NEW YORK--()--Univision WXTV is the leading Local News station in New York among Adults 18-49, year-to-date, regardless of language. Through the first three quarters (January through September 2017), WXTV is the No. 1 Spanish-language station in New York in Total Day among Hispanic Total Viewers 2+ and Adults 18-49, outperforming its closest competitor in the market. Across key dayparts, WXTV is No. 1 among Hispanic Adults 18-49 and Bilingual Adults 18-49.

“WXTV is the heart and voice of the New York Hispanic community, and they rely heavily on our commitment to deliver breaking news and in-depth coverage of issues impacting their lives. I am proud that our viewers turn to us in this market than any other station and continue to make us their primary trusted source of news. Our position as the leading Local News station proves that the power of our deep ties with our viewers is important and critical, now more than ever,” said Roberto Yáñez, President and General Manager, Univision Local Media.
