Univision Communications Inc., the leading media company serving Hispanic America, announced today the launch of the UniMás Network, the newly transformed TeleFutura. UniMás provides an alternative and delivers bold content from the top Spanish-language producers in the world, including Caracol Televisión, RTI Colombia, and Televisa to solidify its position as the fastest growing broadcast network in the country, regardless of language.

UniMás will be unveiled on-air January 7, 2013. Previously known as the highly successful broadcast network TeleFutura, UniMás programming will super-serve its quickly growing and increasingly diverse audiences more than ever before.

Programming partners for UniMás include Caracol Televisión, Colombia’s number-one television broadcaster and a leader in the production of alternative series such as “Pablo Escobar,” and RTI Colombia, the most successful independent production company in Colombia which produced “La Reina del Sur.” UniMás will also tap into the extensive content resources of Televisa, the leading creator and distributor of quality entertainment content in Spanish for all platforms.

Kicking-off its new programming with a bang, UniMás will feature two intensely dramatic thrillers, “Made in Cartagena” and “Quien Eres Tu” (Who are You), and a powerful boxing-themed drama called “Cloroformo.” Starring Carmen Villalobos and Miguel de Miguel and produced by Caracol Televisión, “Made in Cartagena” is a gritty, urban crime drama that dives headfirst into the wild and dangerous underworld of Cartagena through the planning, execution, and aftermath of the “bank-heist of the century” that goes terribly wrong…and rips apart the lives, and loves, of everyone involved.”Quien Eres Tu” starring Julian Gil and Laura Carmine and produced by RTI Colombia, is an intense, multilayered story of a young woman who assumes her twin sister’s identity, only to find that living someone else’s life can prove to be a dangerous mistake, and ends up being chased by the mob and trapped in a tangled web of lies and deceit beyond her control. Finally, no punches are pulled in “Cloroformo,” the Televisa-produced groundbreaking series set in an inner city boxing gym. Starring Osvaldo Benevides, the series tells the story of five fighters from very different backgrounds and the struggles they face both in and out of the ring as they claw their way to the top of a profession that’s glory days are far behind it. Also slated for development is a project based on a high-profile literary work, based on the novel “Diablo Guardian” by Xavier Velasco to be adapted by Gustavo Bolivar, author of the hit series “El Capo” and “Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso.”

UniMás will significantly increase its sports offering featuring top-caliber events such as games from the Mexican National Team, Liga MX, CONCACAF Gold Cup 2013, FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 and World Cup 2014™. Also continuing on the network are popular sports shows such as “Solo Boxeo,” highlighting the best in professional boxing, and “Contacto Deportivo,” bringing viewers the best and latest news of the sports world seven nights a week. UniMás will continue to be the destination for high-action, Hollywood blockbusters.
