ITEM 8.01.         Other Events.

On March 12, 2009, Univision Communications Inc. (the “Company”), made a permitted election under the indenture governing its $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 9.75%/10.50% senior notes due 2015 (the “Notes”) to pay all interest under the Notes for the interest period commencing on March 15, 2009 and continuing through September 14, 2009, entirely in kind (“PIK Interest”). The Company may make an election before the beginning of each interest period through March 15, 2012, whether to pay interest on the Notes entirely in cash, entirely through PIK Interest, or half in cash and half in PIK Interest. In the absence of such an election for any interest period, interest on the Notes will be payable in the form of the interest payment for the prior interest period. As a result, the entirely PIK Interest election will apply for future interest periods unless the Company elects otherwise. The Company has elected to pay PIK Interest in the amount of approximately $79 million for the interest period commencing on March 15, 2009 to enhance liquidity in light of the current uncertainty in the financial markets. The Company will evaluate this option prior to the beginning of each eligible interest period, taking into account market conditions and other relevant factors at that time.
