2 33 TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS: When I became CEO of Televisa in 1997, I found an incredibly successful broadcasting operation with decades of experience producing highly rated content. But at that time, Televisa was facing a very challenging financial situation. The company was highly leveraged and held some non-strategic assets.

7 THE LAUNCH OF FUNDACIÓN TELEVISA

The first Televisa foundation was established in 1975 as Fundación Cultural Televisa and focused primarily on cultural initiatives. It closed in the late 1990s while Televisa underwent financial restructuring. To- ward the end of 2000, Emilio Azcarraga Jean, Televisa’s chairman and CEO, led an effort to reopen the foundation and to focus on social efforts, in particular education, nutrition, health, and housing, while continuing to promote Mexican culture.

Today, Fundación Televisa (“Fundación”) reaches millions through Televisa’s media platforms and builds alliances with companies, non- governmental organizations, and Mexico’s government and people. Alliances play a key role in multiplying the social impact of Fundación’s work and base funding. Through these alliances the effective dollar- for-dollar match for Fundación’s programs over the past ten years has been 8.39 to 1. In 2010 alone, the match was 17.7 to 1 —that’s US$17.70 for every dollar that the foundation contributes itself.

Over the years Fundación has worked hard to reach its goals and can now share with pride many of its success stories. For example, in 2006 Fundación launched Bécalos, a scholarship program, in part- nership with the Mexican Bank Association. By leveraging these alli- ances and Fundación’s access to media, Bécalos has raised more than US$110 million and provided more than 113,000 scholarships since 2005. These include 65,813 awards for teachers and school prin- cipals; 26,808 for high school students; and 21,011 bachelor awards, primarily for studies in engineering, science, and technology.

Over the last decade, Fundación has improved the nutrition and health of more than 44,000 children in the poorest regions of Mexico.

Access to housing has also been at the top of Fundación’s agenda. As of year-end 2010, Fundación had built 22,000 homes through an alliance structure similar to that of Bécalos. If compared with com- mercial homebuilders, Fundación and its allies would be the fifth- largest housing developer in Mexico.

But its mission goes beyond education, health, and housing. Fun- dación’s relationship with Televisa enables it to raise awareness of so- cial issues and expand the impact of its campaigns. Televisa contrib- utes with advertising space for Fundación to promote and increase public action on health, such as breast cancer, and on environmen- tal issues, such as energy and water conservation.

8 Growing number of beneficiaries

The launch of Fundación in 2001 was only the beginning. The number of people directly benefiting from Fundación’s programs has risen each year, from 100,339 in 2001 to 633,403 in 2010. Fundación will continue to invest resources in education and health while maintaining its commitment to the promotion of Mexican culture at home and abroad.

9 Solid financial position

Even after our recent US$1.2 billion investment in Univision, our balance sheet remains strong. As of December 31, 2010, our consolidated net-debt position was approximately Ps.12.7 billion, and the average maturity of our debt was 14.3 years. In the years to come, we will continue to focus on maintaining the health of our balance sheet.

10 TELEVISA ISSUES US$300 MILLION, 30-YEAR, INVESTMENT-GRADE BOND

In the late 1990s Televisa initiated the arduous but necessary process of repairing its finances and strengthening its balance sheet. Later, in 2000, Televisa successfully refinanced its debt, reducing borrowing costs, extending maturities, and replacing a portion of its US-dollar- denominated indebtedness with inflation-adjusted indebtedness. As a result of these steps, Televisa significantly improved its capital structure and reduced its currency risk. That same year, Moody’s gave Televisa’s debt an investment-grade rating.

Because of the earlier work it had undertaken to refinance its debt and improve its financial structure, on March 11, 2002, Televisa was able to become the first Mexican company to issue a 30-year bond. The offering consisted of US$300 million in Senior Notes at a cou- pon of 8.50 percent. The proceeds were used to refinance a US$276 million bridge loan. Televisa was able to complete this transaction thanks to a strong credit profile and the market’s confidence in its long-term prospects.

The bond received three awards, including one from Latin Finance. Shortly after the bond was issued, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s gave Televisa’s debt an investment-grade rating. These ratings made Televisa one of the first Mexican companies to receive investment- grade ratings from all three agencies, even before Mexican sover- eign debt was given an investment-grade rating. The bond offering was also significant because, up to its issuance, Mexican companies had no access to financing with maturities of this length.

Since then, Televisa has continued to focus on improving the strength of its balance sheet. In November 2009, Televisa issued a US$600 mil- lion bond at a spread over U.S. Treasuries of only 245 basis points, the second-smallest spread of any Mexican issuer at the time. A year later, in October 2010, Televisa issued a Ps.10 billion bond with a coupon of 7.38 percent due in 2020 and a spread of only 135 basis points over Mexican Government Bonds. It was, at that time, the largest corporate fixed-rate debt issuance in the history of the Mexican market.

11 Solid and profitable growth

As of December 31, 2010, Televisa reached a market capitalization of US$14.4 billion. As it looks forward to the next decade, Televisa will continue to focus on delivering solid, profitable growth and on maintaining a consistent and open channel of communication with the market in order to remain a relevant holding for the investor community.

12 TELEVISA CELEBRATES 10 YEARS ON THE NYSE

Televisa was first traded on the Mexican stock exchange (BMV) in 1991. In June of 1993 the company’s GDS (Global Depositary Shares) began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and in 2003 the company celebrated the tenth anniversary of its listing.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, Televisa was the fifth-largest Latin American GDS holding for institutional investors and the third most liquid among Mexican companies. Televisa’s average daily volume on the NYSE was more than 450,000 shares, and the average daily value traded was more than US$18 million.

Since its listing, Televisa has focused on maintaining an ongoing dia- logue with the investor community—one that distinguishes itself for being an honest, open, and straightforward channel of communi- cation. Televisa has always taken very seriously its fiduciary duty to all company shareholders and recognizes the importance of under- standing the expectations of the investor community.

In 2010, Televisa was the third most-liquid GDS holding among Mexi- can companies listed on the NYSE and the sixth most-liquid on the Mexican stock exchange. During 2010, the average daily volume on the NYSE was more than 2 million shares, or approximately US$50 million, representing more than 70 percent of the Company’s total trading volume.

Listing on the NYSE allowed Televisa to access capital in order to fuel growth while improving efficiency and management stan- dards. Among other measures, Televisa took the necessary steps to strengthen corporate governance and meet the expectations of its shareholder base.

13 Quality and innovation

Sky will continue to seek profitable growth by maintaining superior service and innovative offerings. Low pay-TV penetration in Mexico and Sky’s scale and nationwide distribution will continue to contribute to solid profit margins. Along the way, Sky will remain focused on upgrading systems and facilities, increasing satellite capacity, and expanding its high-definition (HD) offerings to subscribers.

14 SKY CONSOLIDATES ITS POSITION AS THE LEADING DTH PROVIDER IN MEXICO

Sky began operations in 1997 and quickly became a very successful pay-TV provider in Mexico. From an early stage, it positioned itself as the pay-TV provider of choice for the same reasons that Sky is suc- cessful today: superior customer service, international sports content, and attractive pay-TV packages.

In 2004, Sky’s competitor decided to exit the Mexican market and reached an agreement with Televisa to migrate its subscribers to Sky. That same year, Televisa began the consolidation of Sky into its finan- cial statements.

Since then, Sky’s subscriber base has grown at a compounded an- nual rate of 20 percent, from close to 600 thousand in 2000 to more than 3 million at year-end 2010. Much of the initial growth in Sky origi- nated from a strategy that targeted the high-end and middle-market segments. Sky continues to serve this customer base with attractive premium packages and value-added services.

Most recently, in the second quarter of 2010, Sky launched its suc- cessful HD package, further enhancing its premium pay-TV offerings. The profile of its customer base allows Sky to deliver one of the stron- gest ARPU, or average revenue per user, in Mexico.

In 2009 Sky entered the lower-income market segment with pack- ages such as MiSky and VeTV. This strategic move allowed Sky to deliver growth of one million subscribers in 2010 alone. Furthermore, Sky was able to expand into this new segment of the market while maintaining strong margins. During 2010, at 45 percent, its Operating Segment Income margin was among the highest in the industry.

In addition to Sky’s recent successful inroads into other demographics in Mexico, Sky has developed a solid presence in other Latin Ameri- can markets. In the aggregate for the Dominican Republic and Cen- tral America, Sky closed 2010 with 145 thousand subscribers.

15 INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS OF TELEVISA’S CONTENT

In 2005 Rebelde (Rebel), a Telenovela that portrayed the life of teen- agers at a private boarding school in Mexico, became an interna- tional sensation. The success of Rebelde demonstrated Televisa’s ability to produce content that has universal appeal and can deliver value to all of Televisa’s business segments.

Televisa first aired Rebelde in October of 2004. The characters were also members of the band RBD, which, together with Rebelde, quickly captured the imagination of youth throughout Mexico, Latin America, the United States, and many other countries around the world.

Rebelde aired on Channel 2 in Mexico for three seasons through July 2006 for a total of 750 half-hour episodes. The Telenovela’s tremendous success spurred the production of additional content that crossed all of Televisa’s platforms. These other platforms included DVDs, pay-TV content, music production, nearly 240 live concerts, RBD magazine, SMS, ring tones, and licensing agreements for merchandising. Rebelde, the Mexican adaptation of Cris Morena’s original script, was not only a multiplatform success; it was also a global phenomena. Eventually, Rebelde was successfully transmitted in 65 countries.

The popularity of Rebelde has endured: the program was aired in 2009 and 2010 via pay-TV platforms and on Televisa’s all-Telenovela channel, TLnovela. Today, Rebelde continues to draw an important audience.

During 2005, Rebelde was just one success of many for Televisa’s Programming Exports business. That same year, other international hits included the reality series Bailando por un Sueño, of which we sold the format in Italy, France, and Peru, among others. Also, the Telenovela Rubí was televised in the United States, 16 countries in Latin America, the Philippines, Malaysia, Israel, and Eastern Europe, among other countries.

Beyond selling its content worldwide, in 2008 Televisa began export- ing some of its most successful program formats through collabora- tive arrangements with producers in China, Brazil, and afterwards with France. These arrangements enabled Televisa to participate in high-potential advertising markets around the world. Televisa is suc- cessfully adapting its content to the languages and nuances particu- lar to each culture and in formats new to those markets.

16 Maximizing the value of our content

In the years to come, Televisa will continue to focus on finding creative ways to maximize the value of its content and expertise and will seek new markets, new formats, and new business models.

17 At the forefront of technology

Today Cablevisión is one of several cable assets that, together, have transformed Televisa into a relevant player in Mexico’s cable and telecom industry. In 2010, Cablevisión served a total of 1.2 million revenue-generating units (RGUs) in Mexico City. Of that number 669 thousand were video, 299 thousand broadband, and 190 thousand voice subscribers.

With this and other efforts Cablevisión is working to remain at the forefront of technology and to strengthen its competitive position in this fast-growing industry.

In 2006 Cablevisión completed the conversion of its network from analog to digital format. This milestone enabled the company to provide a host of new services and pay-TV offerings, tapping its full potential in Mexico City and laying the groundwork to become one of the most technologically advanced players in Mexico’s cable and telecom market.

Two years earlier, Cablevisión had begun the process of convert- ing its analog-format cable infrastructure to a fully digitalized net- work. The conversion positioned Cablevisión to combat what was then an intractable problem in Mexico: piracy. The conversion brought an immediate jump in the number of video subscribers, which grew on average 10 percent annually during the three-year digitalization period.

More significant was the fact that the conversion, built with an invest- ment of US$133 million, allowed the company to offer high-value- added services such as HD TV and video-on-demand.

During recent years, Cablevisión’s triple-play services have fueled the Company’s growth in Mexico’s cable and telecom market. In 2007, Cablevisión launched its first triple-play package, effectively transforming the company from a pay-TV provider into a telecom- munications company.

In 2009 Cablevisión began a US$240-million project to deploy “fiber to the curb,” and in doing so to bring more and better services to the home. These include higher capacity and download speeds for high-speed internet, video-programming such as digital video re- cording, and HD TV.

19 TELEVISA CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF THE TELENOVELA

In 2007 Televisa celebrated 50 years of producing its popular Tele- novelas, captivating audiences throughout the Spanish-speaking world and beyond.

The novela as a media format was first transmitted by radio in 1932. The first Telenovela produced in Mexico, Senda Prohibida, was broadcast in 1958. Since then, Televisa has produced more than 800 Telenovelas, and today the Telenovela remains one of our most suc- cessful formats.

Unlike soap operas, which can run for decades, Telenovelas begin with a defined story line, are broadcast on a daily basis, and have an average run of 120 episodes. Televisa is able to produce approxi- mately ten to 15 Telenovelas every year, aided by an extensive library of scripts and a tremendous pool of talent, most of which is devel- oped in-house.

The appeal of the Telenovela continues to grow in Mexico and abroad. As a matter of fact, three of the five most successful Tele- novelas ever were launched in the past five years. During 2007, for example, Destilando Amor achieved an average audience share of 46.8 percent and, during its final episode, garnered an impressive 61.1 percent audience share. Televisa repeatedly replicates successes such as these in the United States. That same year, Destilando Amor reached an audience of 12.7 million viewers and powered Univision to the nation’s number-one ranking among all adults in the coveted 18–34 and 18–49 demographics. Additionally, the final episode of Destilando Amor, transmitted by Univision, was the most-watched fi- nale of any Telenovela in Univision’s history1.

Key to the success of Televisa is the consistency in the quality and appeal of the content that it produces. In 2006, the final episode of La Fea Más Bella garnered 43 rating points and an audience share of more than 62 percent. And last year, the final episode of Soy tu Dueña was the highest-rated show in Mexico, with 30.4 rating points. In all, during 2010, Televisa produced and transmitted all of the top- ten Telenovelas in Mexico, including the final episode ofHasta que el Dinero nos Separe, which garnered 28.4 rating points.

The company’s skill in the production of Telenovelas has comple- mented Televisa’s success in the production of other popular formats, such as news and sports programs, reality shows, and series.

20 21 INVESTMENT IN CABLEMÁS ADVANCES TELEVISA’S CABLE AND TELECOM STRATEGY

In 2006, Televisa invested US$258 million in long-term notes con- vertible into a 49 percent interest in Cablemás, the second-largest cable company in Mexico.1 In 2008 Televisa made an additional investment in Cablemás, and COFECO, Mexico’s competition commission, approved the conversion of those notes into equity. Televisa’s resulting 58.3 percent investment in Cablemás was a key step forward in the company’s strategy to become a relevant par- ticipant in Mexico’s cable and telecommunications industry.

Televisa’s initial investment in Cablemás was one of the first in a series of steps to expand its presence in the rapidly growing cable and telecom industry. For example, in 2006, Televisa acquired a 50 percent interest in Televisión Internacional (TVI), which oper- ates in Monterrey and other parts of northern Mexico. And in 2007 Televisa took a majority stake in Bestel, a fiber-optic network that provides voice, data, and managed services to domestic and in- ternational carriers both in Mexico and the United States. In 2009, Televisa’s cable assets Cablevisión, TVI, and Cablemás collabo- rated with Megacable to offer YOO, a nationally branded, low- cost triple-play offering. And in June 2010, the Mexican Commu- nications and Transportation Ministry awarded to the consortium formed by Televisa, Telefónica, and Megacable a 20-year con- tract for the lease of a pair of dark-fiber wires held by the Mexican Federal Electricity Commission.

As of today, Televisa has one of the largest telecom infrastructures in the country. Through its cable and telecom assets, it reaches sev- eral of the most important cities in Mexico with more than 6 million homes passed and has close to 50 thousand miles of fiber and co- axial cable around the country. In the aggregate, as of December 31, 2010, its three cable investments had more than 1.9 million video subscribers, 502 thousand voice subscribers, and 806 thousand data subscribers. Since the Cablemás investment in 2006, the total num- ber of RGUs has been growing at an average rate of 22 percent per year. For the coming years, Televisa expects this business to remain an important source of growth.

22 Attractive growth potential

As Televisa continues to explore opportunities to expand its presence in cable and telecom, it will seek to play a role in the consolidation of cable in Mexico. The Company expects to benefit from economies of scale and the growth potential of this industry, and it will continue to work to improve its offerings, the quality of its service, and the profitability of its business.

23 Continuous growth

The ongoing growth in pay-TV penetration in Mexico and abroad, the appeal of Televisa’s pay-TV channels, and its extensive advertising inventory in this platform will continue to position Televisa Networks as one of the fastest-growing segments in Televisa.

24 TDN LAUNCH ENHANCES TELEVISA’S PAY-TV OFFERING

Televisa launched Network (TDN), its all-sports pay- TV channel, in 2009. The addition of TDN rounded out Televisa’s portfo- lio of pay-TV channels with one of the most important genres in terms of ratings and commercial opportunities.

Immediately upon its launch, TDN became one of the highest-rated sports channels in Mexico.1 TDN enabled Televisa to build an audience different from viewers of its general entertainment content, and one that is particularly attractive to advertising clients.

The dedication put into making TDN a success is evidence of the im- portance that Televisa gives to this media platform. Through Televisa Networks, we distribute a total of 18 pay-TV brands (15 owned and 3 represented) in more than 50 countries. Pay television provides Tele- visa with an opportunity to monetize much of the content that has already been produced and amortized while accessing a revenue stream different from advertising, namely subscription revenue. In addition, through this platform Televisa is able to monetize more ef- fectively its content abroad. Of the more than 26 million subscribers around the world, two thirds of them are outside Mexico.

Today, Televisa’s pay-TV channels are top-ranked in many catego- ries. In 2010, the channels Televisa transmitted over pay-TV platforms in Mexico included five of the top-ten general entertainment channels; three of the top-five music/lifestyle channels; and three of the top-five movie channels.

Advertising in this platform is becoming an important source of rev- enue. Pay-TV channels attract demographics different from those of broadcast television. As such, Televisa is able to gain access to a special set of clients that otherwise would have not advertised in over-the-air television, such as those that seek certain demographics or that target specific geographies. In addition to benefiting from a recurring stream of affiliate revenue, the growth of this platform has ef- fectively allowed Televisa to benefit from the fragmentation of adver- tisers, expanding its total client base. For Televisa Networks, advertising has grown at a CAGR of 43 percent2 since 2005. Today, it represents nearly 20 percent of the total revenues of this business segment.

25 Increasing presence in the Hispanic market

In 2010, Univision royalties accounted for US$156 million and constituted the majority of Televisa’s Programming Exports segment revenue. Under the new agreement, Televisa now benefits from the creation of value in Univision. Televisa invested US$1.2 billion in Univision for a five percent equity stake and debentures convertible into a 30 percent equity stake of Univision, subject to existing laws and regulations. The agreement also gives Televisa an option to acquire an additional five percent equity stake in Univision. In addition, the two companies signed a program license agreement for Mexico, under which Televisa received the right to broadcast Univision’s content in the country.

The agreement expands and deepens the most important alliance in Spanish-language media today. It aligns the interests of both companies and empowers them to work together to enhance their presence and prospects in the growing U.S. Hispanic market.

26 TELEVISA SIGNS LANDMARK AGREEMENT WITH UNIVISION

In December 2010 Televisa made a substantial investment in Univision and expanded and extended its long-term Program License Agreement.

Since 1961, Televisa has successfully exported its content to the United States, initially through Spanish International Network, which in the 1980s changed its name to Univision. Televisa has also participated in the U.S. pay-TV market through TuTV, its joint venture with Univision, since 2002.

This new agreement increases the exposure of Televisa’s content to the U.S. Hispanic market, giving Univision the right to carry it across all of its audiovisual platforms.

The U.S. Hispanic market represents an important growth opportunity for Televisa, since a significant number of U.S. companies still do not advertise in this market—even though population is growing at four times the rate of the total U.S. population.

In addition, nearly two-thirds of the country’s 50 million Hispanics are of Mexican heritage, and household consumption is 27 percent higher than consumption in Mexico. As a cultural demographic, U.S. Hispanics tend to retain cultural traditions and value systems, which partly explains why Televisa’s content travels naturally and successfully to the United States.

This new agreement provides a mutually beneficial platform. For example, the agreement will enable them to capture the growth opportunity presented by offering new advertising alternatives to current and potential clients. The agreement will also extend the portfolio of pay-TV channels distributed in the United States and allow for the digital transmission of Televisa’s content.

The agreement expands the royalty base and immediately increases the royalty payment to Televisa from 9.36 percent of television-only revenues to 11.91 percent of all audiovisual revenue. The agreement provides for a further increase, to 16.22 percent, beginning in 2018.

Integral Cost of Financing, Net

Integral cost of financing, net, significantly impacts ourfi- nancial statements in periods of high inflation or currency fluctuations. Under Mexican FRS, integral cost of financing reflects:

• interest expense, including gain or losses from derivative instruments; • interest income; and • foreign exchange gain or loss attributable to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, including gains or losses from derivative instruments.

Our foreign exchange position is affected by our assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, primarily U.S. dollars. We record a foreign exchange gain or loss if the ex- change rate of the Peso to the other currencies in which our monetary assets or liabilities are denominated varies.
