          GRUPO TELEVISA TO PARTICIPATE IN A PUBLIC BID TO OBTAIN
                 FREE-TO-AIR TELEVISION CONCESSION IN SPAIN

Mexico City, October 17, 2005--Grupo Televisa,  S.A. ("Televisa";  NYSE:TV;
BMV:TLEVISA  CPO), today announced that it will participate in a consortium
that has  presented  a  proposal  to the  government  of Spain to  obtain a
concession   for  a   free-to-air   television   channel  in  Spain   ("the
Concession").  Televisa  will  have a 40%  participation  interest  in this
consortium and a group of Spanish investors led by Grupo Arbol and Mediapro
will own 60%.

The  Concession  includes the  allocation  of one analogue  channel and two
digital  channels with national  coverage,  which will be transformed  into
four digital  channels by 2010,  at which time analogue  transmissions  are
expected to switch-off in Spain.  According to the terms and  conditions of
the bid  guidelines  published by the government of Spain on July 30, 2005,
the Concession is expected to be granted no later than December 2, 2005. No
payment is required to obtain the Concession.

Grupo Arbol and Mediapro,  which are in an integration process, are content
production and audiovisual  service  companies,  respectively,  and are the
main  suppliers  of  prime-time   content  and   production   services  for
free-to-air television channels in Spain. These two companies will form the
largest  television  content production company in Spain and second largest
in  Europe,   with  combined  sales  of  close  to  U.S.$400   million  and
approximately  1,800  employees.  Their  main  activities  include  content
production for television,  movies,  pay television  channels,  purchase of
sporting  and  movie  transmission  rights,  digital  production  services,
technical  services  and  consulting.  Grupo  Arbol and  Mediapro  bring an
experienced management team in Spanish television to lead this project.

Spain's  GDP has grown 3.7% per year on average  during the last ten years,
resulting in one of the fastest  growing  economies in the European  Union.
The Spanish advertising market is valued at approximately (euro)6.1 billion
euros,  of which close to (euro)2.7  billion euros, or 44% are allocated to
the television industry.  The television advertising market in Spain is one
of the most  dynamic and  profitable  in Europe and has grown 7.6% per year
during  the last three  years.  Spain  presents  an  attractive  investment
opportunity for Televisa given its size, growth potential, and synergies in
the production and distribution of content.

This  transaction  is subject to  execution  of  definitive  documentation,
closing  conditions,  and obtaining any  applicable  regulatory  approvals.
There is no assurance that the Concession will be granted to the consortium
mentioned above.

Grupo Televisa,  S.A., is the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking
world and a major participant in the international  entertainment business.
It has interests in television  production and broadcasting,  production of
pay  television   networks,   international   distribution   of  television
programming,  direct-to-home satellite services,  publishing and publishing
distribution,   cable   television,   radio  production  and  broadcasting,
professional  sports and live  entertainment,  feature film  production and
distribution,  and the  operation of a horizontal  internet  portal.  Grupo
Televisa also owns an unconsolidated equity stake in Univision, the leading
Spanish-language media company in the United States.
