ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

    On August 7, 2000, the Company converted its $120,000,000 convertible
promissory note into an approximate 20% equity interest, on a fully diluted
basis, in Entravision Communications Corporation ("Entravison"), which began
trading on the New York Stock Exchange on August 2, 2000. Furthermore, on
August 7, 2000, in connection with Entravision's initial public offering, the
Company invested an additional $100,000,000 to purchase approximately an
additional 6% equity interest in Entravision on a fully diluted basis. The
Company provided the funding for this transaction by borrowing $60,000,000 from
its Revolving Credit Facility and with cash from operations of $40,000,000.
Consequently, the Company has an investment in Entravision of $220,000,000 and
an approximate 26% equity interest in Entravision on a fully diluted basis.
Andrew W. Hobson, Executive Vice President of the Univision Network, and Michael
D. Wortsman, Co-President of Univision Television Group Inc., are members of the
board of directors of Entravision.
