Telemundo and Univision score wins in November sweeps

The competition between Univision and Telemundo stations in top markets across the country continues to heat up. Both networks celebrated ratings wins during November sweeps. But the battle between the rivals came down to key demos.

Univision’s Noticias 23 in Miami, for example, is making a comeback at 6 pm. For the second month in a row, the station took over the #1 spot at 6 pm in the 18-49 demo. But Telemundo 51 is boasting a #1 spot at 6 pm in the 25-54 demo, regardless of language, and among adults 18-34 as the most-watched Spanish-language program in the time period.

However, Noticiero Telemundo 51 remains the leader in the market, regardless of language, at 11 pm among adults 18-49 and 25-54 for the 32nd consecutive month, while Noticias 23 comes in at #2.

Univision’s 6 pm newscasts ranked #1 in Los Angeles, New York and Miami, while the 5 pm in Houston and Dallas led among adults 18-49.

Telemundo scored the top spots at 11 pm regardless of language in Los Angeles among adults 18-34 and 18-49 and at 10 pm in Houston among adults 18-34.

Telemundo Boston, which only launched live local newscasts 3 months ago, had the most-watched Spanish-language program in the market at 11 pm among adults 18-34, 18-49 and 25 to 54.
