We publish our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in Mexico, or Mexican GAAP, which differ in some
significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States, or U.S. GAAP, and accounting procedures adopted in other countries. The
exchange rates used in preparing our financial statements are determined by
reference as of the specified date to the interbank free market exchange rate,
or the Interbank Rate, as reported by Banco Nacional de Mexico, S.A., or
Banamex. As of December 31, 2004, the Interbank Rate was Ps. 11.1490 to
U.S.$1.00. See "Key Information - Exchange Rate Information." The exchange rates
used in translating Pesos into U.S. Dollars elsewhere in this annual report are
determined by reference to the Interbank Rate as of December 31, 2004, unless
otherwise indicated.

      Unless otherwise indicated, (i) information included in this annual report
is as of December 31, 2004 and (ii) references to "Ps." or "Pesos" in this
annual report are to Mexican Pesos and references to "Dollars," "U.S. Dollars,"
"U.S. dollars," "$," or "U.S.$" are to United States dollars.

ITEM 2. OFFER STATISTICS AND EXPECTED TIMETABLE

     Not applicable.

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION

                             SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

      The following tables present our selected consolidated financial
information as of and for each of the periods indicated. This data is qualified
in its entirety by reference to, and should be read together with, our audited
year-end financial statements. The following data for each of the years ended
December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 has been derived from our audited
year-end financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheets as of
December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income
and changes in financial position for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003
and 2004 and the accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report.
The data should also be read together with "Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects."

      The exchange rate used in translating Pesos into U.S. Dollars in
calculating the convenience translations included in the following tables is
determined by reference to the Interbank Rate, as reported by Banamex as of
December 31, 2004, which was Ps. 11.1490 per U.S. Dollar. The exchange rate
translations contained in this annual report should not be construed as
representations that the Peso amounts actually represent the U.S. Dollar amounts
presented or that they could be converted into U.S. Dollars at the rate
indicated.

      In December 2001, we entered into an agreement to sell our music recording
operations to Univision Communications, Inc., or Univision, and we consummated
this sale in April 2002. We no longer engage in the music recording business,
and under Mexican GAAP, the results of our music recording segment through
December 31, 2001, and from prior and subsequent periods have been classified as
discontinued operations. See "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects --
Discontinued Operations" and Note 22 to our year-end financial statements.

      Effective April 1, 2004, we began consolidating Sky Mexico, in accordance
with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46), which is applicable
under Mexican GAAP Bulletin A-8, "Supplementary Application of International
Accounting Standards."

      At a general extraordinary meeting and at special meetings of the
shareholders of Grupo Televisa, S.A., or Televisa, held on April 16, 2004, our
shareholders approved the creation of a new class of capital stock, the B
Shares, and the distribution of new shares to our shareholders as part of the
recapitalization of our capital stock, or the Recapitalization, as described in
the Information Statement dated March 25, 2004, which was submitted to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on Form 6-K on March 25, 2004
and as described under "Key Information -- The Recapitalization." Except where
otherwise indicated, all information in this annual report reflects our capital
structure as of December 31, 2004, and gives effect to the Recapitalization.

              NOTES TO SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA:

(1)   Except per CPO, ratio, average audience share, average rating, magazine
      circulation, employee, subscriber and registered user data. Information in
      these footnotes is in thousands of Pesos in purchasing power as of
      December 31, 2004, unless otherwise indicated.

(2)   Includes interest expense, interest income, foreign exchange gain or loss
      -- net, gain or loss from monetary position and monetary results
      classified as provisions for deferred income taxes. See Note 18 to our
      year-end financial statements.

(3)   See Note 19 to our year-end financial statements.

(4)   See Note 22 to our year-end financial statements.

(5)   For further analysis of income (loss) from continuing operations per CPO
      and net income (loss) per CPO (as well as corresponding amounts per A
      Share not traded as CPOs), see Note 23 (for the calculation under Mexican
      GAAP) and Note 26 (for the calculation under U.S. GAAP) to our year-end
      financial statements.

(6)   As of December 31, 2004, after giving effect to the Recapitalization we
      had four classes of common stock: A shares, B shares, L shares and D
      shares. For purposes of this table, the weighted-average number of shares
      for all periods reflects the 25-for-one stock split and the 14-for-one
      stock dividend from the Recapitalization, and the number of shares
      outstanding for all periods reflects the 25-for-one stock split from the
      Recapitalization. As of December 31, 2004, for legal purposes, there were
      approximately 2,617 million CPOs issued and outstanding, each of which was
      represented by 25 A shares, 22 B shares, 35 L shares and 35 D shares and
      an additional number of approximately 58,927 million A shares and 2,357
      million B shares (not in the form of CPO units). See Note 13 to our
      year-end financial statements.

      As of December 31, 2003, we had three classes of common stock: A Shares, L
      Shares and D Shares. As of December 31, 2003, some of our A Shares, and
      all of our L Shares and D Shares, were publicly traded in Mexico in the
      form of CPOs, each of which represented one A Share, one L Share and one D
      Share, and were publicly traded in the United States in the form of GDSs,
      each of which represents 20 CPOs. See Note 13 to our year-end financial
      statements.

      The number of CPOs and shares authorized, issued and outstanding for
      financial reporting purposes under Mexican and U.S. GAAP is different than
      the number of CPOs issued and outstanding for legal purposes, because
      under Mexican and U.S. GAAP shares owned by subsidiaries and/or the trusts
      created to implement our stock purchase plan and our long-term retention
      plan are not considered issued and outstanding for financial reporting
      purposes.

(7)   See Note 26 to our year-end financial statements. In contrast to Mexican
      GAAP, the results of our music recording segment are not reflected as
      discontinued operations under U.S. GAAP, since we continue to have
      significant influence over Univision.

(8)   Current notes payable to banks and other notes payable include Ps.68.7
      million, Ps.14.8 million and Ps.7.7 million of other notes payable as of
      December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2003
      and 2004, there are no other notes payable outstanding. See Note 8 to our
      year-end financial statements.

(9)   Long-term debt includes the Ps.86.5 million and Ps.7.1 million of other
      notes payable as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. As of
      December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, there are no other long-term notes
      payable. See "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects-- Results of
      Operations -- Liquidity, Foreign Exchange and Capital Resources --
      Indebtedness" and Note 8 to our year-end financial statements.

                              THE RECAPITALIZATION

      The Recapitalization increased the number of our outstanding Shares by a
factor of 39 but did not affect our total equity or dilute the equity interest
of any shareholder. The Recapitalization comprised these steps:

            -     a stock split in which each outstanding Share was divided into
                  25 Shares of the same class;

            -     the creation of a new class of common or ordinary shares, the
                  B Shares;

            -     a stock dividend in which we distributed to holders of
                  outstanding Shares, 14 new Shares (of various classes
                  depending on the class held) for every 25 Shares outstanding
                  after the stock split;

            -     an increase in the number of Shares represented by each
                  outstanding CPO, from three Shares to 117 Shares; and

            -     amendments to our bylaws related to these transactions.

THE STOCK SPLIT AND STOCK DIVIDEND

      As part of the Recapitalization, we carried out a stock split in which
each of our outstanding Shares was divided into 25 Shares of the same class.
Following the stock split and the creation of the B Shares, we increased our
capital by incorporating approximately Ps.906 million of retained earnings into
capital stock and issuing approximately 132,560 million new Shares, equal to
fourteen new Shares (of various classes, depending on the class held), for every
25 Shares outstanding after the split. We did not receive any consideration for
the issuance of the new Shares.

EFFECT OF THE RECAPITALIZATION ON A SHARES, D SHARES AND L SHARES

      The Recapitalization did not change the voting and economic rights of the
A Shares, D Shares and L Shares, except in two respects. First, the number of
directors (and corresponding alternate directors) that the holders of A Shares
were entitled to designate decreased by five, from sixteen to eleven, and the
holders of the new B Shares are entitled to designate five directors (and
corresponding alternate directors). Second, the aggregate amount of the
cumulative annual preferred dividend payable by the Company increased as a
result of the stock dividend, while the per share amount of the cumulative
annual preferred dividend to which the holder of one D Share is entitled
decreased as a result of the stock split.

      For a description of the principal amendments to our bylaws that were
adopted in connection with the Recapitalization, see "Other Information --
Bylaws."

EFFECT OF THE RECAPITALIZATION ON CPOS

      Prior to the Recapitalization, our Shares traded in the form of CPOs, each
at that time represented one A Share, one D Share and one L Share. The
Recapitalization increased the number of Shares represented by each CPO from
three Shares to 117 Shares. Following the Recapitalization, one CPO represents
25 A Shares, 22 B Shares, 35 D Shares and 35 L Shares.

      While the dividend preference per D Share decreased by a factor of 25 as a
result of the stock split, the number of D Shares owned by a holder of one CPO
increased by a factor of 35. Accordingly, the amount of the preferred dividend
on one CPO increased by 40% (reflecting the 25-for-1 split and the distribution
in the stock dividend of ten D Shares to each holder of one CPO).

      Amendments to the CPO Trust Agreement and the CPO Deed of Issuance related
to the Recapitalization were approved by the CPO holders at a meeting on April
5, 2004.

                                     - 5 -



EFFECT OF THE RECAPITALIZATION ON GDSS

      Prior to the Recapitalization, our Shares also traded in the form of GDSs,
each representing 20 CPOs. Global Depositary Receipts, or GDRs, evidencing GDSs
are issued by the Depositary, JPMorgan Chase Bank, pursuant to the Deposit
Agreement we entered into with the Depositary and all holders from time to time
of GDSs. Following the Recapitalization, one GDS continues to represent 20 CPOs,
and each GDR continues to represent the same number of GDSs as before the
Recapitalization. No approval or other action was or will be required by holders
of GDSs.

DELIVERY OF NEW SHARES

      We delivered the shares issued in the Recapitalization to our
shareholders, generally through S.D. Indeval, S.A. de C.V., Institucion para el
Deposito de Valores, which is the clearing system for securities traded on the
Mexican Stock Exchange. At that time, we deposited into the CPO Trust the new
shares to be held by the CPO Trustee on behalf of holders of CPOs (including
CPOs held in the form of GDSs).

      For shareholders who hold share certificates in physical form, delivery
was made at our offices.

THE B SHARES

      We created a new class of capital stock, the B Shares, with no par value.
The B Shares are common or ordinary shares, like the A Shares, with no preferred
dividend rights and no preference upon liquidation. Holders of the B Shares have
the right to elect five out of 20 members of our Board of Directors at a
shareholders' meeting that must be held within the first four months after the
end of each year, beginning in 2005.

      As is the case for the A Shares: (a) holders of B Shares have the right to
vote on all matters subject to shareholder approval at any general shareholders'
meeting, (b) holders of B Shares have the right to vote at special meetings of B
Shares, on any matter subject to approval at such a meeting and (c) under
Mexican law, non-Mexicans may not own B Shares directly or exercise any voting
rights in respect of B Shares, but they may hold B Shares indirectly through the
CPO Trust, which will control the voting of the B Shares.

MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

      Prior to March 2004, our controlling shareholder was Grupo Televicentro,
S.A. de C.V., or Televicentro. Televicentro's equity in Televisa is currently
owned through the Shareholder Trust, by the following trusts: a trust for the
benefit of Emilio Azcarraga Jean, the Azcarraga Trust; a trust for the benefit
of Promotora Inbursa S.A. de C.V., the Inbursa Trust; and a trust for the
benefit of five individual members of the Aramburuzabala and Fernandez families,
the Investor Trust. Promotora Inbursa is an indirect subsidiary of Grupo
Financiero Inbursa, S.A. de C.V. The interests of the Aramburuzabala family
represented 16.21%, and the interests of the Fernandez family represented 3.80%,
of Televicentro's capital stock. Before giving effect to the Recapitalization,
Televicentro owned approximately 2,348 million A Shares and 53 million A Shares,
53 million D Shares and 53 million L Shares in the form of CPOs.

      In March 2004, the Televicentro shareholders contributed all their shares
in Televicentro to a trust, the Shareholder Trust. Following the
Recapitalization, Televicentro distributed all its Shares and CPOs to the
Shareholder Trust, or Televicentro Distribution, and, as a result, ceased to be
one of our shareholders.

      For a description of the arrangements among our Major Shareholders, see
"Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions."

                                    DIVIDENDS

      Decisions regarding the payment and amount of dividends are subject to
approval by holders of a majority of the A Shares and B Shares voting together,
generally, but not necessarily, on the recommendation of the Board of Directors,
as well as a majority of the A Shares voting separately. Emilio Azcarraga Jean
indirectly controls the voting of the majority of the A Shares and, as a result
of such control, both the amount and the payment of dividends require his
affirmative vote. See "Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions -- The
Major Shareholders." On March 25, 2004, our Board of Directors

                                     - 6 -



approved a dividend policy under which we currently intend to pay an annual
regular dividend of Ps.0.35 per CPO. Also, on May 21, 2004, the Company's Board
of Directors approved a Ps.3,850 million cash distribution to shareholders,
equivalent to Ps.1.219 per CPO, which included the annual regular dividend of
Ps.0.35 per CPO, that is the dividend corresponding to the Series A and L shares
and the cumulative preferred dividend corresponding to the Series D shares. On
February 22, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a cash distribution to
shareholders, equivalent to Ps.1.35 per CPO, equivalent to approximately
Ps.4,250.0 million. On April 29, 2005, at a General Shareholders' Meeting, our
shareholders approved the payment of an extraordinary dividend of Ps.1.00 per
CPO, which is in addition to our ordinary dividend of Ps.0.35 per CPO, for a
total dividend of Ps.1.35 per CPO. All of the recommendations of the Board of
Directors related to the payment and amount of dividends were voted and approved
at the applicable General Shareholders' Meetings. The agreements related to some
of our outstanding indebtedness contain covenants that restrict, among other
things, the payment of dividends, subject to certain conditions.

                           EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

      Since 1991, Mexico has had a free market for foreign exchange and, since
1994, the Mexican government has allowed the Peso to float freely against the
U.S. Dollar. The Peso was relatively stable from 1999 to 2001. In 2002 and 2003,
the Peso declined in value against the U.S. Dollar. There can be no assurance
that the government will maintain its current policies with regard to the Peso
or that the Peso will not further depreciate or appreciate significantly in the
future.

      The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high, low,
average and period end noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers for
Pesos published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, expressed in Pesos per
U.S. Dollar. The rates have not been restated in constant currency units and
therefore represent nominal historical figures.

(1)   Annual average rates reflect the average of noon buying rates on the last
      day of each month during the relevant period. Monthly average rates
      reflect the average of daily noon buying rates.

      The above rates may differ from the actual rates used in the preparation
of the financial statements and the other financial information appearing in
this annual report on Form 20-F. Our inclusion of these exchange rates is not
meant to suggest that the Peso amounts actually represent these U.S. Dollar
amounts or that Peso amounts could have been converted into U.S. Dollars at any
particular rate, if at all.

      The Mexican economy has suffered balance of payment deficits and shortages
in foreign exchange reserves. While the Mexican government does not currently
restrict the ability of Mexican or foreign persons or entities to convert Pesos
to U.S. Dollars, we cannot assure you that the Mexican government will not
institute restrictive exchange control policies in the future, as has occurred
from time to time in the past. To the extent that the Mexican government
institutes restrictive exchange control policies in the future, our ability to
transfer or to convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars and other currencies for the
purpose of making timely payments of interest and principal of indebtedness, as
well as to obtain foreign programming and other goods, would be adversely
affected. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Mexico

                                  RISK FACTORS

      The following is a discussion of risks associated with our company and an
investment in our securities. Some of the risks of investing in our securities
are general risks associated with doing business in Mexico. Other risks are
specific to our business. The discussion below contains information, among other
things, about the Mexican government and the Mexican economy obtained from
official statements of the Mexican government as well as other public sources.
We have not independently verified this information. Any of the following risks,
if they actually occur, could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations or the price of our securities.

                         RISK FACTORS RELATED TO MEXICO

ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN MEXICO MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS

      Most of our operations and assets are located in Mexico. As a result, our
financial condition, results of operations and business may be affected by the
general condition of the Mexican economy, the devaluation of the Peso as
compared to the U.S. Dollar, Mexican inflation, interest rates, regulation,
taxation, social instability and political, social and economic developments in
Mexico.

MEXICO HAS EXPERIENCED ADVERSE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

      Mexico has historically experienced uneven periods of economic growth. In
2001, Mexico's gross domestic product, or GDP, decreased 0.2% primarily as a
result of the downturn in the U.S. economy. Mexican GDP increased 0.8%, 1.4%,
4.4% and 0.4% in 2002, 2003, 2004 and the three month period ended March 31,
2005, respectively. Inflation in 2002, 2003, 2004 and the three month period
ended March 31, 2005 was 5.7%, 4.0%, 5.2% and 0.8%, respectively. Although these
inflation rates tend to be lower than Mexico's historical inflation rates,
Mexico's current level of inflation remains higher than the annual inflation
rates of its main trading partners, including the U.S. GDP growth fell short of
Mexican government estimates in 2004; however, according to Mexican government
estimates, GDP in Mexico is expected to grow by approximately 3.5% to 4.0%,
while inflation is expected to be less than 4.0%, in 2005. We cannot assure you
that these estimates will prove to be accurate.

      If the Mexican economy should fall into a recession or if inflation and
interest rates increase significantly, our business, financial condition and
results of operations may be adversely affected for the following reasons:

      -     demand for advertising may decrease both because consumers may
            reduce expenditures for our advertisers' products and because
            advertisers may reduce advertising expenditures; and

      -     demand for publications, cable television, DTH satellite services,
            pay-per-view programming and other services and products may
            decrease because consumers may find it difficult to pay for these
            services and products.

DEVELOPMENTS IN OTHER EMERGING MARKET COUNTRIES OR IN THE U.S. MAY AFFECT US AND
THE PRICES FOR OUR SECURITIES

      The market value of securities of Mexican companies, the economic and
political situation in Mexico and our financial condition and results of
operations are, to varying degrees, affected by economic and market conditions
in other emerging market countries and in the U.S. Although economic conditions
in other emerging market countries and in the U.S. may differ significantly from
economic conditions in Mexico, investors' reactions to developments in any of
these other countries may have an adverse effect on the market value or trading
price of securities of Mexican issuers, including our securities, or on our
business.

      In particular, Argentina's continued insolvency and default on its public
debt, could adversely affect Mexico, the market value of our debt securities or
our business. Although a majority of the foreign holders of Argentina's
indebtedness have agreed to exchange their securities in connection with
Argentina's restructuring, holders of a substantial amount of the country's
indebtedness have refused such exchange. To the extent that the Argentine

                                     - 9 -



government is unsuccessful in preventing further economic decline, the crisis
may also adversely affect Mexico, the price of our securities or our business.

      In addition, the political and economic future of Venezuela remains
uncertain. A nationwide general strike that occurred between December 2002 and
January 2003 caused a significant reduction in oil production in Venezuela, and
has had a material adverse effect on Venezuela's oil-dependent economy. In
February 2003, Venezuelan authorities imposed foreign exchange and price
controls on specified products. Inflation continues to grow despite price
controls and the political and economic environment has continued to
deteriorate. Venezuela has experienced increasing social instability and massive
public demonstrations against President Chavez. We cannot predict what effect,
if any, the decisions of the Venezuelan government will have on the economies of
other emerging market countries, including Mexico, the price of our securities
or our business.

      Our operations, including demand for our products or services, and the
price of our debt securities, have also historically been adversely affected by
increases in interest rates in the U.S. and elsewhere. The Federal Reserve Bank
of the U.S. has signaled that it will continue implementing "measured" increases
in interest rates in 2005. As interest rates rise, the prices of our securities
may fall.

MILITARY OPERATIONS IN IRAQ AND ELSEWHERE HAVE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED INDUSTRY AND
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS GLOBALLY, AND THESE CONDITIONS HAVE HAD, AND MAY CONTINUE TO
HAVE, A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS

      Our profitability is affected by numerous factors, including changes in
viewing preferences, priorities of advertisers and reductions in advertisers'
budgets. Historically, advertising in most forms of media has correlated
positively with the general condition of the economy and thus, is subject to the
risks that arise from adverse changes in domestic and global economic
conditions, consumer confidence and spending, which may decline as a result of
numerous factors outside of our control, such as terrorist attacks and acts of
war. Military operations in Iraq have depressed economic activity in the U.S.
and globally, including the Mexican economy. Since the invasion, there have been
terrorist attacks abroad, such as the terrorist attacks in Madrid on March 11,
2004, as well as ongoing threats of future terrorist attacks in the U.S. and
abroad. Although it is not possible at this time to determine the long-term
effect of these terrorist threats and attacks and the consequent response by the
U.S., there can be no assurance that there will not be other attacks or threats
in the U.S. or abroad that will lead to a further economic contraction in the
U.S. or any other major markets. In the short term, however, terrorist activity
against the U.S. and the U.S. military operations in Iraq have contributed to
the uncertainty of the stability of the U.S. economy as well as global capital
markets. It is not certain how long these economic conditions will continue. If
terrorist attacks continue or become more prevalent or serious, if the economic
conditions in the U.S. decline or if a global recession materializes, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and
adversely affected.

CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS OR THE DEVALUATION AND DEPRECIATION OF THE PESO COULD
LIMIT THE ABILITY OF OUR COMPANY AND OTHERS TO CONVERT PESOS INTO U.S. DOLLARS
OR OTHER CURRENCIES WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL
CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      A portion of our indebtedness and a significant amount of our costs are
U.S. Dollar-denominated, while our revenues are primarily Peso-denominated. As a
result, decreases in the value of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar could cause
us to incur foreign exchange losses, which would reduce our net income.

      Severe devaluation or depreciation of the Peso may also result in
governmental intervention, as has resulted in Argentina, or disruption of
international foreign exchange markets. This may limit our ability to transfer
or convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars and other currencies for the purpose of
making timely payments of interest and principal on our indebtedness and
adversely affect our ability to obtain foreign programming and other imported
goods. The Mexican economy has suffered current account balance payment of
deficits and shortages in foreign exchange reserves in the past. While the
Mexican government does not currently restrict, and for more than ten years has
not restricted, the right or ability of Mexican or foreign persons or entities
to convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars or to transfer other currencies outside of
Mexico, the Mexican government could institute restrictive exchange control
policies in the future. To the extent that the Mexican government institutes
restrictive exchange control policies in the future, our ability to transfer or
convert pesos into U.S. Dollars for the purpose of making timely payments of
interest and principal on indebtedness would be adversely affected. Devaluation
or depreciation of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar may also adversely affect
U.S. Dollar prices for our debt securities.

                                     - 10 -



HIGH INFLATION RATES IN MEXICO MAY DECREASE DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES WHILE
INCREASING OUR COSTS

      Mexico historically has experienced high levels of inflation, although the
rates have been lower in recent years. The annual rate of inflation, as measured
by changes in the Mexican National Consumer Price Index, or NCPI, was 5.7% for
2002, 4.0% for 2003, 5.2% for 2004 and 0.8% for the three month period ended
March 31, 2005. Nonetheless, at approximately 4.4% per annum (as measured from
March 2004 to March 2005), Mexico's current level of inflation remains higher
than the annual inflation rates of its main trading partners. High inflation
rates can adversely affect our business and results of operations in the
following ways:

      -     inflation can adversely affect consumer purchasing power, thereby
            adversely affecting consumer and advertiser demand for our services
            and products;

      -     to the extent inflation exceeds our price increases, our prices and
            revenues will be adversely affected in "real" terms; and

      -     if the rate of Mexican inflation exceeds the rate of devaluation of
            the Peso against the U.S. Dollar, our U.S. Dollar-denominated sales
            will decrease in relative terms when stated in constant Mexican
            pesos.

HIGH INTEREST RATES IN MEXICO COULD INCREASE OUR FINANCING COSTS

      Mexico historically has had, and may continue to have, high real and
nominal interest rates. The interest rates on 28-day Mexican government treasury
securities averaged 6.2%, 6.8% and 9.1% for 2003, 2004 and for the three month
period ended March 31, 2005, respectively. Accordingly, if we have to incur
Peso-denominated debt in the future, it will likely be at higher interest rates.

POLITICAL EVENTS IN MEXICO COULD AFFECT MEXICAN ECONOMIC POLICY AND OUR
BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Mexico's President Vicente Fox has encountered strong opposition to a
number of his proposed reforms in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate,
where opposition forces have frequently joined to block his initiatives.
Although the Mexican economy has exhibited signs of improvement, general
economic sluggishness continues. This continuing weakness in the Mexican
economy, combined with recent political events, has slowed economic reform and
progress. In the 2003 and 2004 elections, the political party of President Fox,
the Partido Accion Nacional, or the National Action Party, lost additional seats
in the Mexican congress, as well as state governorships. The increased party
opposition and legislative gridlock arising out of the elections could further
hinder President Fox's ability to implement his economic reforms. Presidential
and federal congressional elections in Mexico are scheduled to be held in July
2006. Under Mexican law, President Fox cannot run for re-election. The electoral
process could lead to further friction among political parties and the executive
branch officers, which could potentially cause additional political and economic
instability. Additionally, once the President and representatives are elected,
there could be significant changes in laws, public policies and government
programs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Mexican economic and
political situation which, in turn may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

      National politicians are currently focused on the 2006 elections and
crucial reforms regarding fiscal and labor policies, gas, electricity, social
security and oil have not been and may not be approved. In addition, recent
impeachment proceedings of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the mayor of Mexico
City, have increased political uncertainty. The effects on the social and
political situation in Mexico, including the 2006 presidential elections and
presidential succession, could adversely affect the Mexican economy, including
the stability of its currency, which in turn could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well
as market conditions and prices for our securities.

MEXICAN ANTITRUST LAWS MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO EXPAND THROUGH ACQUISITIONS OR
JOINT VENTURES

      Mexico's federal antitrust laws and regulations may affect some of our
activities, including our ability to introduce new products and services, enter
into new or complementary businesses or joint ventures and complete

                                     - 11 -



acquisitions. In addition, the federal antitrust laws and regulations may
adversely affect our ability to determine the rates we charge for our services
and products. Approval of the Comision Federal de Competencia, or Mexican
Antitrust Commission, is required for us to acquire and sell significant
businesses or enter into significant joint ventures. In 2002, the Mexican
Antitrust Commission did not approve the proposed merger of our radio subsidiary
Sistema Radiopolis, S.A. de C.V., or Sistema Radiopolis, with Grupo Acir
Comunicaciones, S.A. de C.V., or Grupo Acir, and it may not approve possible
future acquisitions or joint ventures that we may pursue. See "Information on
the Company -- Business Overview -- Radio" and " "Information on the Company --
Business Overview -- Regulation."

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEXICAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE
PRESENTATION OF OUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

      Our annual audited consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with Mexican GAAP, which differ in some significant respects from
U.S. GAAP. We are required, however, to file an annual report on Form 20-F
containing financial statements reconciled to U.S. GAAP, although this filing
only contains year-end financial statements reconciled to U.S. GAAP for the
three most recent fiscal years since its filing. See Note 26 to our year-end
financial statements for a description of the principal differences between
Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP applicable to us. In addition, we do not publish U.S.
GAAP information on an interim basis.

                 RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

EMILIO AZCARRAGA JEAN HAS SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER OUR MANAGEMENT AND THE
INTERESTS OF MR. AZCARRAGA JEAN MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE OF OTHER SHAREHOLDERS

      We have four classes of common stock: A Shares, B Shares, D Shares, and L
Shares. As of March 31, 2005, approximately 49.87% of the outstanding A Shares,
13.35% of the outstanding B Shares, 13.90% of the outstanding D Shares and
13.90% of the outstanding L Shares of our Company are held through a trust,
including shares in the form of CPOs, or the Shareholder Trust. The largest
beneficiary of the Shareholder Trust is a trust for the benefit of Emilio
Azcarraga Jean. As a result, Emilio Azcarraga Jean controls the voting of the
Shares held through the Shareholder Trust. The A Shares held through the
Shareholder Trust constitute a majority of the A Shares whose holders are
entitled to vote, because non-Mexican holders of Certificados de Participacion
Ordinarios, or CPOs, and Global Depositary Shares, or GDSs, are not permitted by
law to vote the underlying A Shares. Accordingly, and so long as non-Mexicans
own more than a minimal number of A Shares, Emilio Azcarraga Jean will have the
ability to direct the election of 11 out of 20 members of our Board as well as,
prevent certain actions by the shareholders, including the timing and payment of
dividends, if he so chooses. See "Major Shareholders and Related Party
Transactions -- the Televicentro Distribution"

OUR MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS MAY SELL SHARES IN THE FUTURE

      Except for the 2 million CPOs which were released to the Fernandez family
immediately upon the completion of the Recapitalization, the Shareholder Trust
beneficiaries will not be permitted to release shares from the trust before July
1, 2005. Beginning July 1, 2005, the Investor Trust may release or sell any or
all of its shares from the Shareholder Trust. The Inbursa Trust may release or
sell up to two-thirds of its shares from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2009 and
any or all of its shares beginning July 1, 2009. The Azcarraga Trust may release
or sell any or all of its shares from the Shareholder Trust beginning July 1,
2005, but upon any such release or sale, the Inbursa Trust may freely release or
sell any or all of its shares. In addition, if either of the Inbursa Trust or
the Investor Trust requests that shares be voted in a particular way on a
Consultation Matter as defined in the Shareholders Trust, and Mr. Azcarraga Jean
declines to do so, such party may immediately release its shares from the
Shareholder Trust and sell its shares into the market. Sales of such shares may
have an adverse effect on the market for our equity securities and/or result in
a change of control of our ownership.

                                     - 12 -



AS CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER, EMILIO AZCARRAGA JEAN WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO LIMIT
OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE US TO SEEK OTHER FINANCING
ARRANGEMENTS

      Emilio Azcarraga Jean has the voting power to prevent us from raising
money through equity offerings. Mr. Azcarraga Jean has informed us that if we
conduct a primary sale of our equity, he would consider exercising his
pre-emptive rights to purchase a sufficient number of additional A shares in
order to maintain such power. In the event that Mr. Azcarraga Jean is unwilling
to subscribe for additional Shares and/or prevents us from raising money through
equity offerings, we would need to raise money through a combination of debt or
other form of financing, which we may not obtain, or if so, possibly not on
favorable terms.

                      RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

THE OPERATION OF OUR BUSINESS MAY BE TERMINATED OR INTERRUPTED IF THE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT DOES NOT RENEW OR REVOKES OUR BROADCAST OR OTHER CONCESSIONS;
PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE LEY FEDERAL DE RADIO Y TELEVISION, OR RADIO AND
TELEVISION LAW, IF ADOPTED, COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Under Mexican law, we need concessions from the Secretaria de
Comunicaciones y Transportes, or SCT, to broadcast our programming over our
television and radio stations and our cable and DTH satellite systems. In July
2004, in connection with the adoption of a release issued by the SCT for the
transition to digital television, all of our television concessions were renewed
until 2021. The expiration dates for the concessions for our radio stations
range from 2008 to 2016. Our cable telecommunications concessions expire in
2029. In the past, the SCT has typically renewed the concessions of those
concessionaires that comply with the requisite procedures set forth for renewal
under Mexican law. The SCT can revoke our concessions and the Mexican government
can require us to forfeit our broadcast assets under the circumstances described
under "Information on the Company -- Business Overview -- Regulation." This may
not happen in the future and the current law may change or be superseded by new
laws. In this regard, there is currently a proposal to enact a new Ley Federal
de Radio y Television which is being discussed by a sub-commission of the
Mexican Congress, that may be introduced to the Mexican Congress for discussion
and, if it is so introduced, for approval. We cannot assure you that any
proposal to enact a new Ley Federal de Radio y Television will be introduced to
or adopted by the Mexican Congress, and, if it is, the terms of any such
proposal and the impact it would have on our results of operations.

WE FACE COMPETITION IN EACH OF OUR MARKETS THAT WE EXPECT WILL INTENSIFY

      We face competition in all of our businesses, including television
advertising and other media businesses, as well as our strategic investments and
joint ventures. In particular, we face substantial competition from TV Azteca,
S.A. de C.V., or TV Azteca. See "Information on the Company -- Business Overview
-- Television -- Television Industry in Mexico" and "Information on the Company
-- Business Overview -- Television Broadcasting." In addition, the entertainment
and communications industries in which we operate are changing rapidly because
of evolving distribution technologies. Our future success will be affected by
these changes, which we cannot predict. Consolidation in the entertainment and
broadcast industries could further intensify competitive pressures. As the
pay-television market in Mexico matures, we expect to face competition from an
increasing number of sources, including emerging technologies that provide new
services to pay-television customers and require us to make significant capital
expenditures in new technologies. Developments may limit our access to new
distribution channels, may require us to make significant capital expenditures
in order to have access to new digital and other distribution channels or may
create additional competitive pressures on some or all of our businesses.

THE SEASONAL NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS AFFECTS OUR REVENUE AND A SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTION IN FOURTH QUARTER NET SALES COULD IMPACT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Our business reflects seasonal patterns of advertising expenditures, which
is common in the television broadcast industry. We typically recognize a
disproportionately large percentage of our overall advertising net sales in the
fourth quarter in connection with the holiday shopping season. For example, in
2003 and 2004 we recognized 29.8% 

                                     - 13 -



and 28.7% , respectively, of our net sales in the fourth quarter of the year.
Accordingly, a significant reduction in fourth quarter advertising revenue could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

FUTURE ACTIVITIES WHICH WE MAY WISH TO UNDERTAKE IN THE U.S. MAY BE AFFECTED BY
OUR ARRANGEMENTS WITH UNIVISION. THESE ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS A CURRENT DISPUTE
WE ARE HAVING WITH UNIVISION, MAY AFFECT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH, AND OUR EQUITY
INTEREST IN, UNIVISION

      We have a program license agreement with Univision whereby we have granted
Univision an exclusive right to broadcast our television programming in the
U.S., with some exceptions, as described in "Information on the Company --
Business Overview -- Univision."

      We are required to offer Univision the opportunity to acquire a 50%
economic interest in our interest in certain Spanish-language television
broadcasting ventures to the extent they relate to U.S. Spanish-language
television broadcasting. Should Univision exercise these rights, Univision would
reduce our share of potentially lucrative corporate opportunities involving
these ventures. In April 2003, we entered into a joint venture with Univision to
introduce our satellite and cable pay-TV programming into the U.S., including
two of our existing movie channels and three channels featuring music videos,
celebrity lifestyle, interviews and entertainment news programming, and to
create future channels available in the U.S. that feature our programming. See
"Information on the Company -- Business Overview -- Univision." The current
joint venture with Univision and any future venture we might pursue involving
U.S. Spanish-language television broadcasting, with or without Univision as a
partner, may compete directly with Univision to the extent such ventures seek
viewership among Hispanic households in the U.S. Direct competition between
Univision and these ventures could have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition and results of operations of our joint ventures and the
value of our investment in Univision.

      We are currently involved in a dispute with Univision related to the
program license agreement and other issues. In that regard, on May 9, 2005, we
filed a complaint in the United States District Court Central District of
California alleging, among other things, that Univision breached the program
license agreement by failing to pay certain royalties and by making certain
unauthorized edits of our programs. In connection with these claims, we are
seeking monetary relief in an amount not less than U.S.$1.5 million, declaratory
relief against Univision's ability to recover approximately U.S.$5 million of
royalties previously paid to us, and an injunction against the alteration of our
programs without our consent. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in the
case we filed against Univision or any litigation Univision may initiate. In
addition, effective as of May 9, 2005, Emilio Azcarraga Jean resigned as a
director, and Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega resigned as an alternate director, of
Univision. While we have the right to elect one director and one alternate
director to the Univision board, we have not determined whether we will seek to
elect replacements for Mr. Azcarraga Jean and Mr. de Angoitia Noriega. We cannot
predict how our overall business relationship with Univision will be affected by
this dispute.

      In addition, in the past, we had disagreements with Univision over our
ability to broadcast over the Internet programs to which Univision had rights in
the U.S. As part of the amendments in December 2001 to our arrangements with
Univision, we agreed that for a five-year period, ending December 2006, we and
Univision each would have limited rights to transmit via the Internet certain
limited programming. At the end of this period, the terms of our agreement with
Univision in respect of these rights will revert to the provisions of our prior
agreement. We continue to believe that these terms allow us to distribute
internationally, including in the U.S., on our Internet service originating from
Mexico, programs to which Univision believes it has exclusive rights in the U.S.
If Univision disagrees with our position, we cannot assure you as to whether,
after December 2006, we will provide our television programming over the
Internet for U.S. distribution. However, if we do provide our programming for
U.S. distribution via the Internet, Univision may commence legal proceedings and
we may not prevail in litigation.

      In addition, by operation of the ownership rules and policies of the U.S.
Federal Communications Commission, or the FCC, our interest in Univision may
limit our ability to invest in other U.S. media entities. See "Information on
the Company -- Business Overview -- Regulation -- Television -- U.S. Regulation
of Broadcast Stations."

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES, PRIMARILY IN RESPECT OF OUR INVESTMENTS
IN INNOVA AND SKY MULTI-COUNTRY PARTNERS, AND EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE
SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES AS A RESULT OF OUR PARTICIPATION IN DTH JOINT VENTURES, WHICH
WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR NET INCOME

      We have invested a significant amount to develop DTH satellite services
primarily in Mexico and other countries throughout Latin America. Although our
DTH joint venture in Mexico, Innova, referred to herein by its legal name,
Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V., and, for segment reporting purposes, alternatively
as Sky Mexico, achieved a net income for the first time in 2004 and generated
positive cash flow in 2003 and 2004, we have, in the past, experienced
substantial losses and substantial negative cash flow, and we may experience
substantial losses over the next several years, as a result of our participation
in the DTH joint ventures, which would adversely affect our net income. We
cannot assure you that Innova will continue to generate net income in the
upcoming years, principally due to the substantial capital expenditures and
investments required to expand and improve its DTH service, the impact of any
potential devaluation of the Peso versus the U.S. Dollar on Innova's financial
structure, as well as the strong competition that exists in the pay-television
industry in Mexico. See Notes 10 and 12 to our year-end financial statements.
See "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -- Results of Operations --
Equity in Losses of Affiliates."

      We own a 60% interest in Innova. The balance of Innova's equity is owned
by News Corporation, or News Corp., and Liberty Media International Holdings
Inc. or Liberty Media. Although we hold a majority of Innova's equity, News
Corp. has significant governance rights, including the right to block any
transaction between us and Innova. Accordingly, we do not have complete control
over the operations of Innova. The indenture that governs the terms of the notes
issued by Innova in September 2003 and the credit agreement entered into in
December 2004 both contain covenants that restrict the ability of Innova to pay
dividends and make investments and other restricted payments.

      We own minority interests in DTH joint ventures in Colombia and Chile
through Sky Multi-Country Partners, or MCOP, a U.S. partnership in which we,
News Corp., and Globo Comunicacoes e Participacoes S.A., or Globopar, a
Brazilian multimedia company, supply programming and other services, to the Sky
DTH platforms in Latin America outside Mexico and Brazil. See "Information on
the Company -- Business Overview -- DTH Joint Ventures." Although we have some
governance rights, we do not control these joint ventures.

      In October 2004, we, Innova, News Corp., Liberty Media and Globopar
entered into a series of transactions with each other and with The DIRECTV
Group, Inc., or DIRECTV, relating to our DTH joint ventures, which, if
consummated, would result in (i) Innova being owned, at least, 57% by us and, at
most, 43% by DIRECTV and DIRECTV Latin America, or DTVLA, and (ii) MCOP being
wholly owned by DIRECTV.

MCOP'S INABILITY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO TECHCO COULD COMPROMISE
INNOVA'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO ITS CUSTOMERS

      DTH TechCo Partners, or TechCo, is a U.S. partnership formed to provide
certain technical services from two uplink facilities located in Florida. TechCo
provides these services primarily to MCOP, Innova and Sky Brasil Servicos Ltda.,
or Sky Brasil (a DTH service owned indirectly by Globopar, News Corp. and
Liberty Media). TechCo depends on payments from MCOP, Innova and Sky Brasil to
fund its operations. Since September 2002, Globopar has ceased providing
financial support to TechCo and MCOP, and MCOP, in turn, has ceased making
payments to TechCo, which payments we believe previously accounted for over 50%
of TechCo's revenue. TechCo is obligated to make payments under its capital
leases with various maturities through 2007 for an aggregate amount of U.S.$27.4
million. We indirectly hold a 30% interest in TechCo, and have guaranteed 36% of
certain of TechCo's obligations. As of December 31, 2004, we had guaranteed
payments by TechCo in the aggregate amount of U.S.$9.9 million. We, News Corp.,
Liberty Media and, since October 2004, DIRECTV have been funding TechCo's
operating cash shortfall through loans, and we currently intend to continue to
fund TechCo's shortfall in the form of loans. In addition, we are in discussions
regarding how TechCo will be fully funded, although no assurances can be given
that we will reach a satisfactory resolution as to how to provide continued
funding for TechCo. If MCOP and Sky Brasil continue to fail to make their
required payments and we and DIRECTV decide not to make up the shortfall, then
TechCo's ability to provide services to its customers, including Innova, and
Innova's ability to provide services to its customers, could be compromised. In
that case, if Innova is unable to obtain replacement services at comparable

                                     - 15 -



prices, it would be unable to provide a substantial portion of its programming
services to its customers which would, in turn, have a material adverse effect
on its business.

WE HAVE RECOGNIZED AN INCREASED INDEBTEDNESS, A CUMULATIVE LOSS EFFECT AND OTHER
ADVERSE ACCOUNTING IMPACTS AS A RESULT OF THE CONSOLIDATION OF INNOVA SINCE
APRIL 1, 2004 IN OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING
DECEMBER 31, 2004, AND THESE IMPACTS MAY CONTINUE IN FUTURE YEARS

      As a result of the consolidation of Innova beginning April 1, 2004, our
financial statements have been updated as follows:

      Our consolidated total assets increased by approximately Ps.3,080.1
million beginning April 1, 2004. Our consolidated total liabilities increased by
approximately Ps.5,508.9 million beginning April 1, 2004, including an
approximately Ps.6,082.2 million increase in our aggregate consolidated debt.
Our consolidated shareholders' equity decreased by approximately Ps.2,428.9
million beginning April 1, 2004, as a result of the outstanding shareholders'
deficit reflected in Innova's financial statements. Our consolidated net sales,
costs and operating expenses, and operating income before depreciation and
amortization increased in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2004. The
adverse impacts on our financial statements, including the substantial increase
in our consolidated debt, the decrease in our shareholder's equity, and the
increase in our consolidated costs and expenses, may have an adverse impact on
the price of our securities.

      For a further description of the impact that the consolidation of Innova
has had on our financial statements, see "Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects -- Results of Operations -- Consolidation of Innova."

                     RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

ANY ACTIONS SHAREHOLDERS MAY WISH TO BRING CONCERNING OUR BYLAWS OR THE CPO
TRUST MUST BE BROUGHT IN A MEXICAN COURT

      Our bylaws provide that you must bring any legal actions concerning our
bylaws in courts located in Mexico City. The trust agreement governing the CPOs
provides that you must bring any legal actions concerning the trust agreement in
courts located in Mexico City. All parties to the trust agreement governing the
CPOs, including the holders of CPOs, have agreed to submit these disputes only
to Mexican courts.

NON-MEXICANS MAY NOT HOLD A SHARES, B SHARES OR D SHARES DIRECTLY AND MUST HAVE
THEM HELD IN A TRUST AT ALL TIMES

      Non-Mexicans may not directly own A Shares, B Shares or D Shares, but may
hold them indirectly through a CPO trust, which will control the voting of the A
Shares and B Shares. Under the terms of the CPO Trust, beginning in December
2008, a non-Mexican holder of CPOs or GDSs may instruct the CPO Trustee to
request that we issue and deliver certificates representing each of the shares
underlying its CPOs so that the CPO Trustee may sell, to a third party entitled
to hold the shares, all of these shares and deliver to the holder any proceeds
derived from the sale.

NON-MEXICAN HOLDERS OF OUR SECURITIES FORFEIT THEIR SECURITIES IF THEY INVOKE
THE PROTECTION OF THEIR GOVERNMENT

      Pursuant to Mexican law, our bylaws provide that non-Mexican holders of
CPOs and GDSs may not ask their government to interpose a claim against the
Mexican government regarding their rights as shareholders. If non-Mexican
holders of CPOs and GDSs violate this provision of our bylaws, they will
automatically forfeit the A Shares, B Shares, L Shares and D Shares underlying
their CPOs and GDSs to the Mexican government.

                                     - 16 -



NON-MEXICAN HOLDERS OF OUR SECURITIES HAVE LIMITED VOTING RIGHTS

      Non-Mexican holders of GDSs are not entitled to vote the A Shares, B
Shares and D Shares underlying their securities. The L Shares underlying GDSs,
the only series of our Shares that can be voted by non-Mexican holders of GDSs,
have limited voting rights. These limited voting rights include the right to
elect two directors and limited rights to vote on extraordinary corporate
actions, including the delisting of the L Shares and other actions which are
adverse to the holders of the L Shares. For a brief description of the
circumstances under which holders of L Shares are entitled to vote, see "Other
Information -- Bylaws -- Voting Rights and Shareholders' Meetings."

OUR ANTITAKEOVER PROTECTIONS MAY DETER POTENTIAL ACQUIRORS AND MAY DEPRESS OUR
STOCK PRICE

      Certain provisions of our bylaws could make it substantially more
difficult for a third party to acquire control of us. These provisions in our
bylaws may discourage certain types of transactions involving the acquisition of
our securities. These provisions may also limit our shareholders' ability to
approve transactions that may be in their best interests and discourage
transactions in which our shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for
their Shares over the then current market price, and could possibly adversely
affect the trading volume in our equity securities. As a result, these
provisions may adversely affect the market price of our securities. Holders of
our securities who acquire Shares in violation of these provisions will not be
able to vote, or receive dividends, distributions or other rights in respect of,
these securities and would be obligated to pay us a penalty. For a description
of these provisions, see "Other Information -- Bylaws -- Antitakeover
Protections."

GDS HOLDERS MAY FACE DISADVANTAGES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXERCISE VOTING RIGHTS AS
COMPARED TO OTHER HOLDERS OF OUR SECURITIES

      In situations where we request that JPMorgan Chase Bank, the depositary,
ask holders for voting instructions, holders may instruct the depositary to
exercise their voting rights, if any, pertaining to the deposited securities
underlying their GDSs. The depositary will attempt, to the extent practical, to
arrange to deliver voting materials to these holders. We cannot assure holders
of GDSs that they will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that they
can instruct the depositary how to vote the deposited securities underlying
their GDSs, or that the depositary will be able to forward those instructions
and the appropriate proxy request to the CPO Trustee in a timely manner. For
shareholders' meetings, if the depositary does not receive voting instructions
from holders of GDSs or does not forward such instructions and appropriate proxy
request in a timely manner, if requested in writing from us, it will provide a
proxy to a representative designated by us to exercise these voting rights. If
no such written request is made by us, the depositary will not represent or
vote, attempt to represent or vote any right that attaches to, or instruct the
CPO Trustee to represent or vote, the shares underlying the CPOs in the relevant
meeting and, as a result, the underlying shares will be voted in the manner
described under "Other Information -- Bylaws -- Voting Rights and Shareholders'
Meeting - Holders of CPOs." For CPO Holders' meetings, if the depositary does
not timely receive instructions from a Mexican or non-Mexican holder of GDSs as
to the exercise of voting rights relating to the underlying CPOs in the relevant
CPO holders' meeting, the depositary and the custodian will take such actions as
are necessary to cause such CPOs to be counted for purposes of satisfying
applicable quorum requirements and, unless we in our sole discretion have given
prior written notice to the depositary and the custodian to the contrary, vote
them in the same manner as the majority of the CPOs are voted at the relevant
CPOs holders' meeting.

      This means that holders of GDSs may not be able to exercise their right to
vote and there may be nothing they can do if the deposited securities underlying
their GDSs are not voted as they request.

THE INTERESTS OF OUR GDS HOLDERS WILL BE DILUTED IF WE ISSUE NEW SHARES AND
THESE HOLDERS ARE UNABLE TO EXERCISE PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS FOR CASH

      Under Mexican law and our bylaws, our shareholders have preemptive rights.
This means that in the event that we issue new Shares for cash, our shareholders
will have a right to subscribe the number of Shares of the same series necessary
to maintain their existing ownership percentage in that series. U.S. holders of
our GDSs cannot exercise their preemptive rights unless we register any newly
issued Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, or
qualify for an exemption from registration. If U.S. holders of GDSs cannot
exercise their preemptive rights, the interests of these holders will be diluted
in the event that we issue new Shares for cash. We 

                                     - 17 -



intend to evaluate at the time of any offering of preemptive rights the costs
and potential liabilities associated with registering any additional Shares. We
cannot assure you that we will register under the Securities Act any new Shares
that we issue for cash. In that connection, in 2002 we did not register the
430.3 million A Shares authorized, issued and subscribed in connection with our
Long Term Retention Plan. Accordingly, the voting rights of GDS holders were
diluted. See "Directors, Senior Management and Employees -- Long Term Retention
Plan" and "Other Information -- Bylaws -- Preemptive Rights." In addition,
although the deposit agreement provides that the depositary may, after
consultation with us, sell preemptive rights in Mexico or elsewhere outside the
U.S. and distribute the proceeds to holders of GDSs, under current Mexican law
these sales are not possible.

THE PROTECTIONS AFFORDED TO MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS IN MEXICO ARE DIFFERENT FROM
THOSE IN THE U.S.

      In accordance with the Ley del Mercado de Valores, or the Mexican
Securities Market Law, as amended, we recently amended our bylaws to increase
the protections afforded to our minority shareholders in an effort to try to
ensure that our corporate governance procedures are substantially similar to
international standards. See "Other Information -- Mexican Securities Market
Law" and "Other Information -- Bylaws -- Other Provisions -- Appraisal Rights
and Other Minority Protections." Notwithstanding these amendments, under Mexican
law, the protections afforded to minority shareholders are different from those
in the U.S. In particular, the law concerning fiduciary duties of directors is
not well developed, there is no procedure for class actions or shareholder
derivative actions and there are different procedural requirements for bringing
shareholder lawsuits. As a result, in practice, it may be more difficult for our
minority shareholders to enforce their rights against us or our directors or
major shareholders than it would be for shareholders of a U.S. company.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST US OR OUR DIRECTORS,
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CONTROLLING PERSONS

      We are organized under the laws of Mexico. Substantially all of our
directors, executive officers and controlling persons reside outside the U.S.,
all or a significant portion of the assets of our directors, executive officers
and controlling persons, and substantially all of our assets, are located
outside of the U.S., and some of the experts named in this annual report also
reside outside of the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect
service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce
against them or us in U.S. courts judgments predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S. We have been advised by
our Mexican counsel, Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C., that there is
doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Mexican courts, of
liabilities predicated solely on U.S. federal securities laws and as to the
enforceability in Mexican courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws.

      This annual report and the documents incorporated by reference into this
annual report contain forward-looking statements. We may from time to time make
forward-looking statements in periodic reports to the SEC on Form 6-K, in annual

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

                     HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

      Grupo Televisa, S.A. is a sociedad anonima, or limited liability stock
corporation, which was organized under the laws of Mexico in accordance with the
Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles, or Mexican Companies Law. Grupo Televisa
was incorporated under Public Deed Number 30,200, dated December 19, 1990,
granted before Notary Public Number 73 of Mexico City, and registered with the
Public Registry of Commerce in Mexico City under Commercial Page (folio
mercantil) Number 142,164. Pursuant to the terms of our estatutos sociales, or
bylaws, our corporate existence continues through 2089. Our principal executive
offices are located at Avenida Vasco de Quiroga, No. 2000, Colonia Santa Fe,
01210 Mexico, D.F., Mexico. Our telephone number at that address is (52) (55)
5261-2000.

      We are the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world and a major
participant in the international entertainment industry. We produce the most
Spanish-language television programs, and we believe we own the largest library
of Spanish-language television programming, in the world. We broadcast those
programs, as well as programs produced by others, through our own networks,
through our cable system and through our direct-to-home, or DTH, satellite
services in which we own interests in Mexico and Latin America. We also license
our programming to other television broadcasters and pay-television systems
throughout the world. We believe we are also the leading publisher in the world,
in terms of circulation, of Spanish-language magazines. We are a major
international distributor of Spanish-language magazines. We engage in other
businesses, including radio production and broadcasting, professional sports and
show business promotions, feature film production and distribution, and an
Internet portal. We also own an unconsolidated 10.7% equity interest, on a fully
diluted basis, in Univision, the leading Spanish-language television broadcaster
in the U.S.

      The programs shown on our networks are among the most-watched programs in
Mexico. In 2003 and 2004, approximately 70% and 69%, respectively, of all
Mexicans watching television during prime time hours, 72% and 70%, respectively,
watching television during weekday prime time hours and 72% and 71%,
respectively, of all Mexicans watching from sign-on to sign-off watched our
networks or stations. Our television operations represent our primary source of
revenues, and those operations generated approximately 64.4% and 56.9% of our
total revenues in 2003 and 2004, respectively. On April 1, 2004, we began
consolidating Innova.

                              CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

      The table below sets forth our actual capital expenditures, investments
and acquisitions for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and our
projected capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2005. For a
discussion of how we intend to fund our projected capital expenditures,
investments and acquisitions for 2005, as well as a more detailed description of
our capital expenditures, investments and acquisitions in prior years, see

----------

(1)   Amounts in respect of some of the capital expenditures, investments and
      acquisitions we made in 2002, 2003 and 2004 were paid for in Mexican
      Pesos. These Mexican Peso amounts were translated into U.S. Dollars at the
      Interbank Rate in effect on the dates on which a given capital
      expenditure, investment or acquisition was made. As a result, U.S. Dollar
      amounts presented in the table immediately above are not comparable to:
      (i) data regarding capital expenditures set forth in "Key Information --
      Selected Financial Data," which is presented in constant Pesos of
      purchasing power as of December 31, 2004 and, in the case of data
      presented in U.S. Dollars, is translated at a rate of Ps.11.1490 to one
      U.S. Dollar, the Interbank Rate as of December 31, 2004, and (ii) certain
      data regarding capital expenditures set forth under "Operating and

      U.S.$18.8 million in 2002, U.S.$17.4 million in 2003 and U.S.$35.1 in 2004
      for the expansion and improvement of our cable business.

(3)   Includes investments made in the form of capital contributions and loans
      in all periods.

(4)   In 2002, we acquired a 40% stake in OCESA Entretenimiento, or OCEN, our
      live entertainment venture in Mexico, for U.S.$104.7 million, of which
      U.S.$37.7 million was paid in the first quarter of 2003. Additionally, in
      the first quarter of 2003, we made a capital contribution to OCEN of
      approximately U.S.$4.8 million. See " -- Business Overview -- Other
      Businesses -- Sports and Show Business Promotions" and Note 2 to our
      year-end financial statements.

(5)   In 2003, we acquired Telespecialidades, a company which was owned by our
      controlling shareholders, for an aggregate amount of U.S.$83.0 million.
      Telespecialidades's net assets at the time of acquisition consisted
      principally of Shares of our capital stock in the form of CPOs, which
      Shares were previously indirectly owned by our controlling shareholders,
      and tax loss carryforwards. Telespecialidades was merged into Televisa
      S.A. de C.V. on December 31, 2003. See "Major Shareholders and Related
      Party Transactions -- The Principal Shareholders and Related Party
      Transactions -- Related Party Transactions -- Transactions and
      Arrangements with Affiliates and Related Parties of Our Directors,
      Officers and Major Shareholders." Additionally, in 2003 we made capital
      contributions in the aggregate amount of U.S.$2.5 million, and in 2004 we
      made additional capital contributions in the aggregate amount of U.S.$2.0
      million in our pay television networks joint venture with Univision, which
      operations commenced in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2003. See
      "Information on the Company -- Business Overview -- Univision" and Note 2
      to our year-end financial statements.

      In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we relied on a combination of operating revenues,
borrowings and net proceeds from dispositions to fund our capital expenditures,
acquisitions and investments. We expect to fund our capital expenditures in
2005, other than cash needs in connection with any potential investments and
acquisitions, through a combination of cash from operations and cash on hand. We
intend to finance our potential investments or acquisitions in 2005 through
available cash from operations, cash on hand and/or borrowings. The amount of
borrowings required to fund these cash needs in 2005 will depend upon the timing
of cash payments from advertisers under our advertising sales plan.

                                BUSINESS OVERVIEW

      We are the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world and a major
participant in the international entertainment industry. We produce the most
Spanish-language television programs, and we believe we own the largest library
of Spanish-language television programming, in the world. We broadcast those
programs, as well as programs produced by others, through our own networks,
through our cable system and through our DTH satellite services in which we own
interests in Mexico and Latin America. We also license our programming to other
television broadcasters and pay-television systems throughout the world. We
believe we are also the leading publisher in the world, in terms of circulation,
of Spanish-language magazines. We are a major international distributor of
Spanish-language magazines. We engage in other businesses, including radio
production and broadcasting, professional sports and show business promotions,
feature film production and distribution, and an Internet portal. We also own an
unconsolidated 10.7% equity interest, on a fully diluted basis, in Univision,
the leading Spanish-language television broadcaster in the U.S.

                                     - 21 -



      The programs shown on our networks are among the most-watched programs in
Mexico. In 2003 and 2004, approximately 70% and 69%, respectively, of all
Mexicans watching television during prime time hours, 72% and 70%, respectively,
watching television during weekday prime time hours and 72% and 71%,
respectively, of all Mexicans watching from sign-on to sign-off watched our
networks or stations. Our television operations represent our primary source of
revenues, and those operations generated approximately 64.4% and 56.9% of our
total revenues in 2003 and 2004, respectively. On April 1, 2004, we began
consolidating Innova.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

      We intend to leverage our position as the largest media company in the
Spanish-speaking world to continue expanding our business while maintaining
profitability and financial discipline. We intend to do so by maintaining our
leading position in the Mexican television market, by continuing to produce high
quality programming and by improving our sales and marketing efforts while
improving our operating margins. We also intend to continue building our
pay-television platforms, expanding our publishing business, increasing our
international programming sales and strengthening our position in the growing
U.S. Hispanic market. We will also continue to analyze expansion through
acquisitions.

      MAINTAINING OUR LEADING POSITION IN THE MEXICAN TELEVISION MARKET

      Continuing to produce high quality programming. We aim to continue
producing the type of high quality television programming that has propelled
many of our programs to the top of the national ratings and audience share in
Mexico. In each of 2003 and 2004, our networks aired 88% of the 200 most-watched
television programs in Mexico, according to the Mexican subsidiary of the
Brazilian Institute of Statistics and Public Opinion, or Instituto Brasileno de
Opinion Publica y Estadistica, or IBOPE, the largest research company in Brazil.
We have launched a number of initiatives in creative development, program
scheduling and on-air promotion. These initiatives include improved production
of our highly rated telenovelas, the overhaul of our news division, new comedy
and game show formats and the development of reality shows. We have improved our
scheduling to be better attuned to viewer habits by demographic segment while
improving viewer retention through more dynamic on-air graphics and pacing. We
have enhanced tune-in promotion both in terms of creative content and strategic
placement. In addition, we plan to continue expanding and leveraging our
exclusive Spanish-language video and international film library, exclusive
rights to soccer games and other events, as well as cultural, musical and show
business productions.

      Improving our sales and marketing efforts. The rate of growth in
advertising expenditures and rates for the Mexican television market have
decelerated since 2000 due to the slowdown of the Mexican economy. However, in
2003 and 2004, we outperformed Mexican economic growth by increasing our
television broadcasting revenues in real terms by 5.4% and 5.7%, respectively,
as compared to an increase of only 1.4% and 4.4%, respectively, in GDP in Mexico
during the same periods. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors
Related to Mexico -- Mexico Has Experienced Adverse Economic Conditions." The
increase in our television broadcasting revenues was primarily due to the
marketing and advertising strategies we have implemented over the course of the
last several years.

      Over the past few years we have improved our television broadcasting
advertising sales strategy by: (i) introducing a rate structure for television
advertising that more closely ties individual program pricing to audience
ratings, group demographics and advertiser demand; (ii) implementing
differentiated pricing by quarter; (iii) reorganizing our sales force into teams
focusing on each of our divisions; and (iv) emphasizing a compensation policy
for salespeople that is performance-based, with variable commissions tied to
year-end results for a larger portion of total compensation. Our new rate
structure for television advertising, implemented in January 2005, is conducted
on a cost per thousand basis, or CPM, which is a structure that adjusts
advertising pricing per thousand viewers of the specific program during which
the advertisement appears. We believe that, by giving our customers a choice
between this new rate structure and our traditional rate structure of
differentiated pricing by quarter, we have gained the flexibility to target
underserved industries and increase our focus on local sales causing an increase
in our advertising revenue. Advertising revenues from local sales as a
percentage of our television broadcasting revenues have increased steadily for
the past four years. During 2004, local sales accounted for 13.7% of our
television broadcasting revenues compared to 10.9%, 12.5% and 13.2% in the years
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

                                     - 22 -



      We plan to continue expanding our advertising customer base by targeting
medium-sized and local companies who were previously underserved. For example,
as part of our plan to attract medium-sized and local advertisers in Mexico
City, we reduced the number of households reached by the Channel 4 Network
throughout Mexico and revised its format to create 4TV, which targets viewers in
the Mexico City metropolitan area. See " -- Television -- Television
Broadcasting -- Channel 4 Network." We currently sell local advertising time on
4TV to medium-sized and local advertisers at rates comparable to those charged
for advertising time on local, non-television media, such as radio, newspapers
and billboards. However, by purchasing local advertising time on 4TV,
medium-sized and local advertisers are able to reach a wider audience than they
would reach through local, non-television media. We are also developing new
advertising plans in the Mexican market, such as product tie-ins on our shows,
and encouraging customers to advertise their products jointly through
co-marketing and co-branding arrangements.

      Improving our operating margins. Our operating margin (operating income
before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets
over net sales) increased in 2004, ending the year at 36.3% compared to 32.1%
for 2003. We intend to continue improving our margins by increasing revenues and
controlling costs.

      In response to the slowdown in Mexican GDP growth in 2001, we introduced a
number of cost-cutting initiatives. These initiatives included the creation of
independent business units, the introduction of stricter cost controls, the
continued elimination of under-performing assets, the introduction of a
performance-based compensation policy for executives and further reductions in
our number of employees. On a historical basis, at December 31, 2004, our total
employee headcount (excluding Innova) was approximately 12,300 compared to
approximately 12,300 at December 31, 2003 and approximately 12,600 at December
31, 2002. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the consolidation of Innova,
our total employee headcount would have been approximately 14,100 at December
31, 2004, approximately 14,200 at December 31, 2003 and approximately 14,400 at
December 31, 2002. We intend to continue pursuing cost-cutting initiatives
throughout 2005.

      CONTINUE BUILDING OUR PAY-TELEVISION PLATFORMS

      DTH. We believe that Ku-band DTH satellite services offer the greatest
opportunity for rapid expansion of pay television services into cable households
seeking to upgrade and in areas not currently serviced by operators of cable or
multi-channel, multi-point distribution services. Our joint venture, Innova, is
the dominant participant in the Mexican DTH market with approximately 1,002,500
subscribers, of which 60,700 were commercial subscribers as of December 31,
2004.

      The key components of our DTH strategy include:

      -     offering high quality and exclusive programming, including rights in
            Mexico to our four over-the-air broadcast channels and other
            channels produced by our partners, as well as special events, such
            as reality shows, and games or sports programming we produce or with
            respect to which we have exclusive rights;

      -     capitalizing on our relationship with News Corp. and Liberty Media
            and local operators in terms of technology, distribution networks,
            infrastructure and cross-promotional opportunities;

      -     capitalizing on the low penetration of pay-television services in
            Mexico and elsewhere; and

      -     providing superior digital Ku-band DTH satellite services and
            emphasizing customer service quality.

      Cable. With over 364,000 and 355,000 basic subscribers as of December 31,
2003 and 2004, respectively, Cablevision, the Mexico City cable system in which
we own a 51% interest, is one of the largest cable television operators in
Mexico in terms of number of subscribers and homes passed. Over 60,300 and
123,000 of Cablevision's basic subscribers as of December 31, 2003 and 2004,
respectively, also subscribed to one of the Cablevison's digital service
packages. Cablevision's strategy aims to increase its subscriber base, average
monthly revenues per subscriber and penetration rate by:

                                     - 23 -



      -     continuing to offer high quality programming;

      -     upgrading its existing cable network into a broadband bidirectional
            network;

      -     switching its current analog subscribers to digital service in order
            to stimulate new subscriptions and substantially reduce piracy;

      -     increasing the penetration of its high-speed and bidirectional
            Internet access and other multimedia services as well as providing a
            platform to offer internet protocol, or IP, telephony services; and

      -     continuing the roll out of digital set-top boxes and beginning the
            roll out of advanced digital set-top boxes subject to their
            availability and their ability to provide advanced interactive
            features.

      Cablevision has introduced a variety of new multimedia communications
services over the past few years, such as interactive television and other
enhanced program services, including high-speed Internet access through cable
modem. As of December 31, 2004, Cablevision had more than 26,500 cable modem
customers compared to 8,600 at December 31, 2003. Cablevision is continuing with
its plan to substantially reduce subscriber piracy by switching its current
analog subscriber base to digital service. In addition, Cablevision intends to
introduce video on demand, or VOD, services and, subject to the receipt of the
requisite governmental approvals and the availability of certain technology, IP
telephony services.

      EXPANDING OUR PUBLISHING BUSINESS

      With a total annual circulation of approximately 127 million magazines
during 2004, we believe our subsidiary, Editorial Televisa S.A. de C.V., or
Editorial Televisa, produces and distributes the most magazines in the
Spanish-speaking world. Among the 60 titles published, 26 are fully-owned and
produced in-house and the remaining 34 titles are licensed from world-renowned
publishing houses, including the Spanish-language editions of some of the most
prestigious brands in the world. Editorial Televisa distributes its titles to
more than 20 countries, including Mexico, the U.S. and countries throughout
Latin America. During 2003 and 2004, Editorial Televisa implemented an
aggressive commercial strategy in order to increase its market share and
advertising revenues market share. As a result of this strategy, according to
IBOPE, our market share grew from 35% in 2003 to 45% in 2004. Additionally, a
solid circulation strategy in the U.S. generated beneficial results. According
to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, three of the top ten fastest growing
magazines (in terms of circulation) in the U.S. are published and distributed by
Editorial Televisa.

      Editorial Televisa's strategy regarding the U.S.-Hispanic market is to
strengthen its portfolio and increase its market share. In November 2004,
Editorial Televisa formed a strategic alliance with Hispanic Publishing Group,
or HPG, under which Televisa acquired 51% of HPG, while HPG retained a 49%
equity stake. Through this strategic alliance, Editorial Televisa added its
first two English-language magazines for Hispanics in the U.S. to its
publications: Hispanic Magazine, which has a monthly circulation of
approximately 280,000 copies, and Hispanic Trends, which has a circulation per
edition of approximately 75,000 copies. Hispanic Trends published six editions
in 2004 and will publish seven editions in 2005. Hispanic Trends and Hispanic
Magazine complement Televisa's U.S. strategy by permitting access to new general
market advertisers interested in the U.S. Hispanic market. See " -- Publishing."

      Also, during 2004, Editorial Televisa continued with the initiative it
launched in 2002 aimed at increasing its circulation and advertising revenues of
our publishing business including: (i) improving magazine portfolio mix, (ii)
enhancing marketing efforts and reorganizing our sales force, and (iii)
implementing new sales strategies. As a result of successfully implementing
these strategies, revenues and operating margins increased in 2004 as compared
to 2003.

                                     - 24 -


      INCREASING OUR INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMING SALES AND STRENGTHENING OUR
POSITION IN THE GROWING U.S. HISPANIC MARKET

      We license our programs to television broadcasters and pay-television
providers in the U.S., Latin America, Asia, Europe and Africa. Excluding the
U.S., in 2004, we licensed approximately 54,500 hours of programming in over 100
countries throughout the world. We intend to continue exploring ways of
expanding our international programming sales.

      The U.S. Hispanic population, estimated to be 35.3 million, or
approximately 12.5% of the U.S. population according to the 2000 U.S. Census, is
currently one of the fastest growing segments in the U.S. population, growing at
approximately seven times the rate of the non-Hispanic population. The U.S.
Census Bureau projects that the Hispanic population will double to approximately
25% of the U.S. population by the middle of this century. The Hispanic
population accounted for estimated total consumer expenditures of U.S.$622
billion in 2003, or 8.3% of the total U.S. consumer expenditures, an increase of
190% since 1990. Hispanics are expected to account for U.S.$1 trillion of U.S.
consumer spending, or 9.7% of the U.S. total consumer expenditures, by 2010,
outpacing the expected growth in total U.S. consumer expenditures.

      We intend to leverage our unique and exclusive content, media assets and
long-term associations with other media conglomerates to benefit from the
growing demand for entertainment among the U.S. Hispanic population.

      We supply television programming for the U.S. Hispanic market through
Univision, the leading Spanish-language media company in the U.S. During 2002,
2003 and 2004, most of the 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. weekday prime time
programming broadcast by Univision and substantially all of the programming
broadcast by Galavision, Inc., or Galavision (a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Univision) was produced by Televisa. In exchange for this programming, during
2002, 2003 and 2004, Univision paid Televisa U.S.$77.7 million, U.S.$96.1
million and U.S.$105.0 million, respectively, in royalties. In 2003, Univision
became obligated to remit to us an additional 12% in royalties from the net time
sales of the TeleFutura Network, subject to certain adjustments, including
minimum annual royalties of U.S.$5 million in respect of Telefutura for 2003,
increasing by U.S.$2.5 million for each year to U.S.$12.5 million. For a
description of agreements we entered into with Univision in December 2001,
including amendments to our program license agreement which increased our
percentage royalties, see " -- Univision."

      In April 2003, we entered into a joint venture with Univision to operate
and distribute a suite of Spanish-language television channels for digital cable
and satellite delivery in the U.S. The joint venture, called "TuTV," and
operated through TuTV LLC, began operations in the second quarter of 2003 and
currently distributes five cable channels, including two movie channels and
three channels featuring music videos, celebrity lifestyle and interviews and
entertainment news programming. See " -- Univision."

      We own additional media and entertainment businesses in the U.S. that
complement our television programming exports businesses. We also publish and
sell magazines that target Spanish-speaking readers in the U.S. We believe we
can increase our marketing, sales and distribution efforts in this region
directly and through partnerships.

      In live entertainment, we have a joint venture with Clear Channel
Entertainment, called "Vivelo," which produces and promotes tours of
Spanish-speaking artists as well as other live entertainment events targeting
Spanish-speaking audiences in the U.S. In 2004, Vivelo promoted more than 70
concerts and events in the U.S. Vivelo intends to produce and promote a growing
number of entertainment and sporting events in response to the increasing demand
for live entertainment among the U.S. Hispanic population.

      EXPANDING THROUGH ACQUISITIONS

      In October 2002, we acquired a 40% stake in OCESA Entretenimiento, or
OCEN, a subsidiary of Corporacion Interamericana de Entretenimiento, S.A. de
C.V., or CIE, which owns all the assets related to CIE's live entertainment
business unit in Mexico. Through this acquisition, we became a shareholder of
the leading live entertainment business in Mexico with several valuable assets
including: 11 venues with a total seating capacity of more than 230,000;
TicketMaster, the leading ticket company in Mexico; several promotional ventures
headed by

                                     - 25 -


OCEN; food, beverage and merchandising units; and Audiencias Cautivas, the
largest producer in Mexico of corporate events. We will continue to analyze
expanding our business through acquisitions or investments that add strategic
and economic value to the Company.

TELEVISION

      TELEVISION INDUSTRY IN MEXICO

      General. There are nine television stations operating in Mexico City and
approximately 455 other television stations elsewhere in Mexico. Most of the
stations outside of Mexico City re-transmit programming originating from the
Mexico City stations. We own and operate four of the nine television stations in
Mexico City, Channels 2, 4, 5 and 9. These stations are affiliated with 221
repeater stations and 32 local stations outside of Mexico City. See " --
Television Broadcasting." We also own an English-language television station in
Mexico on the California border. Our major competitor, TV Azteca, owns and
operates Channels 7 and 13 in Mexico City, which we believe are affiliated with
87 and 89 stations, respectively, outside of Mexico City. Televisora del Valle
de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., owns the concession for CNI Channel 40, a UHF channel
that broadcasts throughout the Mexico City metropolitan area. The Mexican
government currently operates two stations in Mexico City, Channel 11, which has
7 repeater stations, and Channel 22. There are also 17 independent stations
outside of Mexico City which are unaffiliated with any other stations. See " --
Competition -- Television Broadcasting."

      We estimate that approximately 20.1 million Mexican households have
television sets, representing approximately 86% of the total households in
Mexico as of December 31, 2004. We believe that approximately 96.1% of all
households in Mexico City and the surrounding area have television sets.

      Ratings and Audience Share. All television ratings and audience share
information included in this annual report relate to data supplied by IBOPE
Mexico, a privately owned market research firm based in Mexico City. IBOPE
Mexico is one of the 15 global branch offices of IBOPE. IBOPE Mexico conducts
operations in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and 24 other Mexican cities
with a population over 400,000, and the survey data provided in this annual
report covers data collected from national surveys. IBOPE Mexico reports that
its television surveys have a margin of error of plus or minus 5%.

      As used in this annual report, "audience share" for a period means the
number of television sets tuned into a particular program as a percentage of the
number of households watching television during that period, without regard to
the number of viewers. "Rating" for a period refers to the number of television
sets tuned into a particular program as a percentage of the total number of all
television households. "Average audience share" for a period refers to the
average daily audience share during that period, and "average rating" for a
period refers to the average daily rating during that period, with each rating
point representing one percent of all television households. "Prime time" is
4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., seven days a week, "weekday prime time" is 7:00 p.m. to
11:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and "sign-on to sign-off" is 6:00 a.m. to
midnight, seven days a week. The average ratings and average audience share for
our television networks and local affiliates and programs relate to conventional
over-the-air television stations only; cable services, multi-channel,
multi-point distribution system and DTH satellite services, videocassettes and
video games are excluded.

      PROGRAMMING

      Programming We Produce. We produce the most Spanish-language television
programming in the world. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we produced approximately
52,000 hours, 53,000 hours and 54,800 hours , respectively, of programming for
broadcast on our network stations and through our cable operations and DTH
satellite joint ventures, including programming produced by our local stations.

      We produce a variety of programs, including telenovelas, newscasts,
situation comedies, game shows, reality shows, children's programs, comedy and
variety programs, musical and cultural events, movies and educational
programming. Our telenovelas are broadcast either dubbed or subtitled in a
variety of languages throughout the world.

                                     - 26 -


      Our programming also includes broadcasts of special events and sports
events in Mexico promoted by us and others. Among the sports events that we
broadcast are soccer games of our and other teams and professional wrestling
matches. See " -- Other Businesses -- Sports and Show Business Promotions." In
2002, we broadcast certain matches of the Korea-Japan World Cup in Mexico on our
over-the-air channels and our cable system. In 2003, we had extensive coverage
of the Mexican mid-term elections. In 2004, we broadcast the Olympic Games, the
Copa America and the Euro Cup.

      Our programming is produced primarily at our 24 studios in Mexico City. We
also operate 15 fully equipped remote control units. Some of our local
television stations also produce their own programming. These local stations
operate 35 studios and 26 fully equipped remote control units. See " --
Television Broadcasting -- Local Affiliates."

      In 2001, we entered into a joint venture with Endemol, B.V., or Endemol, a
leading international developer and producer of programming and other content
for television and online platforms, to jointly develop, produce, acquire and
license Spanish-language programming and the related formats for the production
of such programming, including Endemol programming and formats, in Mexico and
select countries in Central America. Endemol has agreed to license, on a first
option basis, the rights to use its production formats, including the format for
"Big Brother," which was the first reality show produced in Mexico, to the joint
venture. As of December 2004, we have commitments to acquire from Endemol
programming formats through this venture for an aggregate of up to U.S.$24.5
million through 2006. We began broadcasting "Big Brother" on our over-the-air
channels and DTH satellite systems in March 2002.

      Foreign-Produced Programming. We license and broadcast television programs
produced by third parties outside of Mexico. Most of this foreign programming is
from the U.S. and includes television series, movies and sports events,
including coverage of Major League Baseball games and National Football League
games. Foreign-produced programming represented approximately 37%, 36% and 32%
of the programming broadcast on our four television networks in 2002, 2003 and
2004, respectively. A substantial majority of the foreign-produced programming
aired on our networks was dubbed into Spanish and was aired on Channels 4 and 5,
with the remainder aired on Channel 9.

      Talent Promotion. We operate Centro de Educacion Artistica, or CEA, a
school in Mexico City to develop and train actors and technicians. We provide
instruction free of charge, and a substantial number of the actors appearing on
our programs have attended the school. We also promote writers and directors
through a writers' school as well as various contests and scholarships.

      TELEVISION BROADCASTING

      We operate four television networks that can be viewed throughout Mexico
on our affiliated television stations through Channels 2, 4, 5 and 9 in Mexico
City. The following table indicates the total number of operating television

      Channel 2 Network. Channel 2, which is known as "El Canal de las
Estrellas," or "The Channel of the Stars," together with its affiliated
stations, is the leading television network in Mexico and the leading
Spanish-language television network in the world, as measured by the size of the
audience capable of receiving its signal. Channel 2's programming is broadcast
24 hours a day, seven days a week, on 128 television stations located throughout
Mexico. The affiliate stations generally re-transmit the programming and
advertising transmitted to them by Channel 2 without interruption. Such stations
are referred to as "repeater" stations. We estimate that the Channel 2 Network
reaches approximately 19.9 million households, representing 99% of the
households with television sets in Mexico. The Channel 2 Network accounted for a
majority of our national television advertising sales in each of 2002, 2003 and
2004.

      The following table shows the average audience share of the Channel 2
Network during prime time hours, weekday prime time hours and sign-on to
sign-off hours for the periods indicated:

      The Channel 2 Network targets the average Spanish-speaking family as its
audience. Its programs include soap operas (telenovelas), news, entertainment,
comedy and variety programs, movies, game shows, reality shows and sports. The
telenovelas make up the bulk of the prime time lineup and consist of romantic
dramas that unfold over the course of 120 to 200 half-hour episodes.
Substantially all of Channel 2's programming is aired on a first-run basis and
virtually all of it, other than Spanish-language movies, is produced by us.

      Channel 5 Network. In addition to its anchor station, Channel 5 is
affiliated with 66 repeater stations located throughout Mexico. We estimate that
the Channel 5 Network reaches approximately 18.3 million households,
representing approximately 91% of households with television sets in Mexico. We
believe that Channel 5 offers the best option to reach the 18-34 year old
demographic, and we have extended its reach into this key group by offering new
content.

      The following table shows the average audience share of the Channel 5
Network during prime time hours, weekday prime time hours and sign-on to
sign-off hours during the periods indicated:

      We believe that Channel 5 has positioned itself as the most innovative
television channel in Mexico with a combination of reality shows, sitcoms,
dramas, movies, cartoons and other children's programming. The majority of
Channel 5's programs are produced outside of Mexico, primarily in the U.S. Most
of these programs are produced in English. In 2004, we aired 42 of the 50
top-rated movies.

      Channel 4 Network. Channel 4 broadcasts in the Mexico City metropolitan
area and, according to our estimates, reaches over 4.6 million households,
representing approximately 23.1% of television households in Mexico in 2004. As
described above, as part of our plan to attract medium-sized and local Mexico
City advertisers, we reduced the number of households reached by this network
throughout Mexico and revised the format of Channel 4 to create 4TV in an effort
to target viewers in the Mexico City metropolitan area. We currently sell local

                                     - 30 -


advertising time on 4TV to medium-sized and local advertisers at rates
comparable to those charged for advertising time on local, non-television media,
such as radio, newspapers and billboards. However, by purchasing local
advertising time on 4TV, medium-sized and local advertisers are able to reach a
wider audience than they would reach through local, non- television media.

      The following table shows the average audience share of the Channel 4
Network during prime time hours, weekday prime time hours and sign-on to
sign-off hours during the periods indicated, including audience share for local
stations:

      4TV targets young adults and stay-at-home parents. Its programs consist
primarily of news, comedy, sports, and entertainment shows produced by us, as
well as a late night home shopping program, foreign-produced series, mini-series
and movies, which are dubbed or subtitled in Spanish. In an attempt to attract a
larger share of the Mexico City television audience, in recent years, 4TV also
began broadcasting three new local newscasts relating to the Mexico City
metropolitan area.

      Channel 9 Network. In addition to its anchor station, Channel 9 is
affiliated with 28 repeater stations, approximately one-third of which are
located in central Mexico. We estimate that Channel 9 reaches approximately 14.9
million households, representing approximately 74.1% of households with
television sets in Mexico. Channel 9 broadcasts in all of the 26 cities other
than Mexico City that are covered by national surveys.

      The following table shows the average audience share of the Channel 9
Network during prime time hours, weekday prime time hours and sign-on to
sign-off hours during the periods indicated:

      The Channel 9 Network targets families as its audience. Its programs
principally consist of movies, sports, sitcoms, game shows, news and re-runs of
popular programs from Channel 2.

      Local Affiliates. There are currently 33 local television stations
affiliated with our networks, of which 18 stations are wholly owned, one station
is minority owned and 14 stations are independent affiliated stations. These
stations receive part of their programming from Channels 4 and 9. See " --
Channel 4 Network." The remaining programs aired consist primarily of programs
licensed from our program library and locally produced programs. The locally
produced programs include news, game shows, musicals and other cultural programs
and programs offering professional advice. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, the local
television stations owned by us produced 37,200 hours, 39,800 hours and 39,800
hours, respectively, of programming. Each of the local affiliates maintains its
own sales department and sells advertising time during broadcasts of programs
that it produces and/or licenses. Generally, we pay the affiliate stations that
we do not wholly own a fixed percentage of advertising sales for network
affiliation.

      Border Stations. We currently own a television station on the Mexico/U.S.
border that broadcasts English-language programs, as an affiliate of the Fox
Television network under an affiliation agreement with Fox, and under renewable
permits issued by the FCC to the station and to Fox Television that authorize
electronic cross-border

                                     - 31 -


programming transmissions. The station, XETV, is licensed to Tijuana and serves
the San Diego television market. XETV is operated on our behalf by U.S.
broadcaster Entravision Communications Corporation, or Entravision, pursuant to
a joint marketing and programming agreement we have with Entravision, the
initial term of which expired in December 2004 and was extended to December
2005. XETV's FCC cross-border permit was renewed in 2003 for a five-year term
expiring in June 2008. Fox's cross-border FCC permit expires in 2006, and the
Fox affiliation agreement for XETV expires in 2008. In March 2002, we converted
two of the additional border stations that we own and operate from
English-language Fox Television network affiliates to stations broadcasting
entirely in Spanish.

      Advertising Sales Plan. Our sales force is organized into separate teams,
each of which focuses on a particular segment of our business. We sell
commercial time in three ways: advanced payment, upfront and scatter basis. We
also have differentiated pricing by calendar quarter, with the highest rates
applicable in the fourth quarter of a given year. We have also recently
implemented our CPM pricing system which adjusts advertising pricing per
thousand viewers of the specific program during which the advertisement appears.
In addition, sales force incentive compensation largely ties bonuses to total
year-end results. For a description of our advertising sales plan, see
"Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -- Results of Operations -- Total
Segment Results -- Advertising Rates and Sales."

      We currently sell only a portion of our available television advertising
time. We use our remaining available television advertising time to satisfy our
legal obligation to the Mexican government to provide up to 18 minutes per day
of our broadcast time between 6:00 a.m. to midnight for public service
announcements and 30 minutes per day for public programming, in each case
distributed in an equitable and proportionate manner, and to promote our
products, including television, DTH satellite services, radio and cable
programming, magazines, sports and special events. We sold approximately 56%,
70% and 66% of total available national advertising time on our networks during
prime time broadcasts in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and approximately
42%, 57% and 55% of total available national advertising time during all time
periods in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. See "Operating and Financial
Review and Prospects -- Results of Operations -- Total Segment Results --
Television Broadcasting," "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects --
Results of Operations -- Total Segment Results -- Pay Television Networks,"
"Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -- Total Segment Results --
Publishing," "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -- Total Segment
Results -- Cable Television" and "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
-- Total Segment Results -- Radio."

      PAY TELEVISION NETWORKS. We produce or license a suite of Spanish- and
English-language television channels for pay-television systems in Mexico, Latin
America and the Caribbean, Europe and the U.S. These channels include
programming such as general entertainment, telenovelas, movies and music-related
shows, interviews and videos. Some of the programming included in these channels
is produced by us while other programming is acquired or commissioned from third
parties.

      In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we produced approximately 4,400 hours, 4,000 hours
and 4,800 hours, respectively, of programming for broadcast on our
pay-television channels. The names and brands of our channels include: Telehit,
Ritmoson Latino, Bandamax, De Pelicula, De Pelicula Clasico, Unicable, Cinema
Golden Choice 1 & 2, Canal de Telenovelas, American Network, Canal de las
Estrellas Latinoamerica and Galavision Europa.

      In April 2003, we entered into a joint venture with Univision to operate
and distribute a suite of Spanish-language television channels for digital cable
and satellite delivery in the U.S. The joint venture, called "TuTV," began
operations in the second quarter of 2003 and currently distributes five cable
channels, including two movie channels and three channels featuring music
videos, celebrity lifestyle and interviews and entertainment news programming.
See " -- Univision." In May 2003, TuTV entered into a five-year distribution
agreement with Echostar Communications Corporation to distribute three of TuTV's
five channels. See " -- Univision."

      PROGRAMMING EXPORTS. We license our programs and our rights to programs
produced by other television broadcasters and pay-television providers in the
U.S., Latin America, Asia, Europe and Africa. We collect licensing fees based on
the size of the market for which the license is granted or on a percentage of
the advertising sales generated from the programming. In addition to the
programming licensed to Univision, we licensed approximately 60,000 hours,
60,000 hours and 54,500 hours of programming in 2002, 2003 and 2004,
respectively. Most of the

                                     - 32 -


programming licensed by us in the U.S. is to Univision. See " -- Univision" and
"Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -- Results of Operations -- Total
Segment Results -- Programming Exports." As of December 31, 2004, we had
approximately 181,800 half-hours of television programming in our library
available for licensing.

      EXPANSION OF PROGRAMMING REACH. Our programs can be seen in the U.S.,
Latin America, Asia, Europe and Africa. We intend to continue to expand our
sales of Spanish-language programming internationally through cable and DTH
satellite services.

PUBLISHING

      We believe that we are the largest publisher and distributor of magazines
in Mexico, and of Spanish-language magazines in the world, as measured by
circulation.

      EDITORIAL. With a total circulation of approximately 137 million copies in
2002, 128 million copies in 2003 and 127 million copies in 2004, we publish 60
titles that are distributed in 20 countries, including the U.S., Mexico,
Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Peru and Panama, among others. See " --
Publishing Distribution." Our main publications in Mexico include a weekly
entertainment and telenovelas magazine, TV y Novelas, and a weekly television
guide, Tele Guia. We also publish the following popular magazines: Vanidades, a
popular bi-weekly magazine for women; Caras, a monthly leading lifestyle and
socialite magazine; Eres, a bi-weekly magazine for teenagers; Conozca Mas, a
monthly science and culture magazine; and Furia Musical, a bi-weekly musical
magazine that promotes principally Banda and Onda Grupera music performers. Our
other main publications in Latin America and the U.S. include Vanidades and TV y
Novelas USA and Caras.

      We publish the Spanish-language edition of several magazines, including
Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Harper's Bazaar and Popular Mechanics through a
joint venture with Hearst Communications, Inc.; PC Magazine and EGM Electronic
Gaming Monthly, pursuant to a license agreement with Ziff-Davis Media, Inc.;
Maxim, pursuant to a license agreement with Dennis Publishing, Inc.; Marie
Claire, pursuant to a license agreement with Marie Claire Album; Men's Health,
pursuant to a license agreement with Rodale Press, Inc.; Sport Life and
Automovil Panamericano, as well as other special editions of popular automotive

Interesante and Padres e Hijos pursuant to a license agreement with GyJ Espana
Ediciones, S.L.S. en C.; Golf Digest, pursuant to a license agreement with The
New York Times Company Magazine Group, Inc.; Ocean Drive, pursuant to a license

through a licensing agreement with National Geographic Society.

      During 2004, we launched nine new titles, one of which is a
Spanish-language version of a popular English language magazine, National
Geographic Kids, pursuant to a license agreement with National Geographic
Society. We also launched Mia, a lifestyle, health and self-improvement magazine
for women, through a license agreement with GyJ Espana Ediciones, S.L.S. en C.,
and Pumas, the official magazine of the Mexican Premiere League soccer team
known as Pumas, winner of two recent tournaments, pursuant to a license
agreement with Club Universidad Nacional, A.C.

      PUBLISHING DISTRIBUTION. We estimate that we distribute approximately 60%,
in terms of volume, of the magazines circulated in Mexico through our
subsidiary, Distribuidora Intermex, S.A. de C.V., the largest publishing
distribution network in Latin America. We believe that our distribution network
reaches over 300 million Spanish-speaking people in 20 countries, including
Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Peru and Panama. We also estimate
that our distribution network reaches over 22,000 points of sale in Mexico and
over 80,000 points of sale outside of Mexico. We also own publishing
distribution operations in six countries. Our publications are also sold in the
U.S., the Caribbean and elsewhere through independent distributors. In 2003 and
2004, approximately 64% and 65%, respectively, of the publications distributed
by this segment were published by our Publishing segment. In addition, our
distribution network sells a number of publications published by joint ventures
and independent publishers, as well as videos, calling cards and other consumer
products.

CABLE TELEVISION

      THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY IN MEXICO. Cable television offers multiple
channels of entertainment, news and informational programs to subscribers who
pay a monthly fee. These fees are based on the package of channels they receive.
See " -- Cable Television Services." According to Mexico's cable television
trade organization, Camara Nacional de la Industria de Television por Cable, or
CANITEC, there were approximately 572 cable concessions in Mexico as of December
31, 2004, serving approximately 2.3 million subscribers.

      MEXICO CITY CABLE SYSTEM. We own a 51% interest in Cablevision, one of the
largest cable television operators in Mexico in terms of number of subscribers
and homes passed, which provides cable television services to subscribers in
Mexico City and surrounding areas. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, Cablevision
had over 364,400 and 355,000 basic subscribers, respectively, as compared to
approximately 412,400 as of December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, 2003 and
2004, approximately 65,000, 60,300 and 123,000 subscribers, respectively, were
digital subscribers. Cablevision is currently the largest cable television
operator and one of the largest high-speed Internet access providers through
cable modem in Mexico City.

      Through April 2002, we operated Cablevision through a joint venture with
America Movil, Latin America's largest cellular communications provider and an
affiliate of Telmex. America Movil sold its 49% equity interest in Cablevision
in April 2002 in connection with an offering on the Mexican Stock Exchange.
CPOs, each representing two series A shares and one series B share of
Cablevision, began trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol
"CABLE" in April 2002.

      CABLE TELEVISION SERVICES. Cablevision's basic service package offers up
to 53 channels, including Mexico City's nine over-the-air television channels.
Other channels in the basic service package include E! Entertainment, the Latin
American MTV channel, ESPN International, Nickelodeon, the Latin American
Discovery Channel, the Sony Channel, the Warner Channel and various
sports-related and international film channels. Cablevision also currently
offers five premium digital service packages ranging in price from Ps.322.00 to
Ps.579.00, in each case, including the Ps.245.00 basic service fee.
Cablevision's five premium digital service packages offer up to 207 channels,
including 50 audio channels, which provide access to a variety of additional
channels, including CNN International, HBO, Cinemax, Cinecanal and Movie City,
and 28 pay-per-view channels.

      PAY-PER-VIEW CHANNELS. Cablevision currently offers 28 pay-per-view cable
television channels in each of its digital service packages. Pay-per-view
channels show films and special events programs, including sports and musical
events.

      CABLE TELEVISION REVENUES. Cablevision's revenues are generated from
subscriptions for its cable services and from sales of advertising to local and
national advertisers. Subscriber revenues come from monthly service and rental
fees, and to a lesser extent, one-time installation fees. Its current monthly
service fees range in price from Ps.245.00 to Ps.579.00. See " -- Cable
Television Services." The Mexican government does not currently regulate the
rates Cablevision charges for its basic and digital premium service packages,
although we cannot assure you that the Mexican government will not regulate
Cablevision's rates in the future. If the SCT were to determine that the size
and nature of Cablevision's market presence was significant enough so as to have
an anti-competitive effect, then the SCT could regulate the rates Cablevision
charges for its various services.

      For years 2002 and 2003, revenues from telecommunications and pay
television services, including such services provided by Cablevision, were
subject to a 10% excise tax. For those years, Cablevision filed amparo
proceedings challenging the constitutionality of this excise tax. The 2002 and
2003 amparo proceedings were denied with respect to Cablevision.

      The 10% excise tax imposed on services rendered in connection with
restricted television, which directly affected the services provided by
Cablevision in 2002 and 2003, was eliminated as of January 1, 2004. From this
date and going forward Cablevision recognizes this positive effect as part of
its revenues, without any modification in price to its subscribers.

                                     - 34 -


      CABLE TELEVISION INITIATIVES. In an effort to expand its subscriber base
and increase its average monthly revenues per subscriber and substantially
reduce piracy, in 2004, Cablevision began switching its current analog
subscriber base to digital service. Cablevision continues to offer on a limited
basis high-speed Internet access services through cable modems. In addition,
subject to the expansion and upgrade of its existing network, the receipt of the
requisite governmental approvals and, in the case of IP telephony, the
availability of certain technology, Cablevision plans to offer the following
multimedia communications services to its subscribers:

      -     enhanced programming services, including VOD services and video
            games; and

      -     IP telephony services.

      In order to provide these multimedia communications services, Cablevision
requires a cable network with bi-directional capability operating at a speed of
at least 870 MHz and a digital set-top box. In order to provide these new
services, Cablevision is in the process of upgrading its existing cable network.
Cablevision's cable network currently consists of more than 10,576 kilometers
with over 1.4 million homes passed. In 2004, Cablevision expanded its network by
over 536 kilometers. As of December 31, 2004, 100% of Cablevision's network runs
at least at 450 MHz, approximately 78% of Cablevision's network runs at least at
750 MHz, approximately 57% runs at least at 870 MHz, and approximately 71% of
Cablevision's network has bi-directional capability.

RADIO

      RADIO STATIONS. Our radio business, Sistema Radiopolis, or Radiopolis, is
operated under a joint venture with Grupo Prisa, S.A., a leading Spanish
communications group. Under this joint venture, we hold a controlling 50% full
voting stake in this subsidiary and we have the right to appoint the majority of
the members of the joint venture's board of directors. Except in the case of
matters that require unanimous board and/or shareholder approval, such as
extraordinary corporate transactions, the removal of directors and the amendment
of the joint venture's organizational documents, among others, we control the
outcome of most matters that require board and/or shareholder approval. We also
have the right to appoint Radiopolis' Chief Financial Officer. The election of
Radiopolis' Chief Executive Officer requires a unanimity from the joint
venture's board of directors.

      Radiopolis owns and operates 17 radio stations in Mexico, including three
AM and three FM radio stations in Mexico City, five AM and two FM radio stations
in Guadalajara, one FM radio station in Mexicali and repeater radio stations in
each of Monterrey, San Luis Potosi and Veracruz. Some Radiopolis stations
transmit powerful signals that reach beyond the market areas they serve. For
example, XEW-AM and XEWA-AM transmit signals that reach the southern part of the
U.S. XEW-AM serves most of southern Mexico. In May 2004, a subsidiary of
Radiopolis entered into an agreement with Radiorama, S.A. de C.V., or Radiorama,
one of Mexico's leading radio networks, that added 49 affiliate stations (31 AM
and 18 FM) to Radiopolis' existing network, expanding its total network,
including owned and operated and affiliate stations, to 82 stations. After
giving effect to the transaction with Radiorama, we estimate that Radiopolis'
radio stations reach 37 cities in Mexico. We plan to continue exploring
expanding the reach of our radio programming and advertising through
affiliations with third parties and through acquisitions.

      According to Investigadores Internacionales Asociados, S.C., or INRA, in
2002, 2003 and 2004, XEW-AM ranked, on average, tenth, tenth and fourteenth,
respectively, among the 33 stations in the Mexico City metropolitan area AM
market, and XEQ-FM ranked, on average, sixth, fifth and tenth, respectively,
among the 27 stations in the Mexico City metropolitan area FM market during the
same periods. XEBA ranked, on average, second, second and second, respectively,
among 24 stations in the Guadalajara City metropolitan FM market during the same
periods. INRA conducts daily door-to-door and automobile interviews in the
Mexico City metropolitan area to determine radio listeners' preferences. Outside
Mexico City, INRA conducts periodic surveys. Arbitron, a U.S.-based company,
also carries out surveys in Mexico City and Guadalajara. We believe that no
other independent survey of this nature is routinely conducted in Mexico.

      Our radio stations use various program formats, which target specific
audiences and advertisers, and cross-promote the talent, content and programming
of many of our other businesses, including television, sports and news.

                                     - 35 -


      In 2003, Radiopolis launched several new programs, including a
three-edition newscast "Hoy x Hoy," featuring three leading Mexican journalists;
one of Mexico's most popular sports radio programs on one of its most popular
stations, "Pasion W/Estadio W," which has exclusive radio-broadcast rights to
certain soccer games; and "Poder y Dinero," which covers politics and economic
issues. Most of these new programs were rated among the top five in their genre
and helped Radiopolis to increase its audience share. In 2004, Radiopolis
organized four significant musical events with leading artists in each musical
format, gathering a record attendance of approximately 50,000 people at each
event. These events have become among the most popular events among the musical
radio stations in Mexico. The successful radio broadcasting of the Olympic games
placed Radiopolis among the top radio networks in sports event broadcasting. In
addition to alliances with other local radio stations, such as with Radiorama,
we also increased Radiopolis' geographical coverage through the exclusive
nationwide broadcast of XEW-AM's programming over one of Sky's channels, our
Mexican DTH platform.

      RADIO ADVERTISING. We sell both national and local advertising on our
radio stations. Our radio advertising sales force sells advertising time
primarily on a scatter basis. See " -- Television -- Television Broadcasting --
Advertising Sales Plan." In addition, we use some of our available radio
advertising time to satisfy our legal obligation to provide up to 35 minutes per
day of our broadcast time between 6:00 a.m. to midnight to the Mexican
government for public service announcements and programming, distributed in an
equitable and proportionate manner.

OTHER BUSINESSES

      ESMAS.COM. In May 2000, we launched EsMas.com, a Spanish-language
horizontal Internet portal integrating several sites. The portal leverages our
unique and extensive Spanish-language content, including news, sports, business,
music and entertainment, editorials, life and style, technology, culture,
shopping, health, kids and an opinion survey channel, and offers a variety of
services, including e-mail, search engines, chat forums, e-cards, on-line radio
stations, recruitment services, news bulletins and a downloadable service for
customer assistance. With a wide range of content channels, online and mobile
services, and with more than 103 million page views, and approximately 3.7
million monthly unique users in 2004, we believe that EsMas.com has positioned
itself as one of the leading Internet portals in Mexico. We are currently
targeting users in Mexico and intend to explore targeting users in the rest of
the world. Currently, we control 100% of the venture.

      In connection with the series of agreements we entered into with Univision
in December 2001, as described under " -- Univision," we amended our program
license agreement such that, for a five-year period, ending in December 2006, we
are permitted to show certain limited programming over the Internet. For a
description of current litigation we filed against Univision, and a possible
dispute we may have with Univision after the five-year period ending in December
2006 regarding the broadcast of programming over the Internet, see "Key
Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Our Business -- Future
Activities Which We May Wish to Undertake in the U.S. May Be Affected by Our
Arrangements with Univision. These Activities, as Well as a Current Dispute We
Are Having With Univision, May Affect Our Relationship With, and Our Equity
Interest in, Univision."

      In April 2004, EsMas.com began to offer premium content short messages
services, or SMS, to mobile phones, in order to take advantage of the growing
appetite of the Mexican consumer for wireless information. EsMas.com has entered
into service agreements to provide SMS content to the three largest mobile
carriers of Mexico. During 2004, EsMas.com sent approximately 15.7 million
messages to approximately 3.1 million mobile phone users. The offered service
consists of text information of sports, news, events, sweepstakes, contests,
downloading of photos and ring-tones. We believe that due to the Mexican
public's affinity for the high quality and wide range of Televisa's programming
content, EsMas.com has become the leading premium SMS content provider in Mexico
and in Latin America.

      SPORTS AND SHOW BUSINESS PROMOTIONS. We actively promote a wide variety of
sports events and cultural, musical and other entertainment productions in
Mexico. Most of these events and productions are broadcast on our television
stations, cable television system, radio stations and DTH satellite services.

Programming," " -- Cable Television -- Cable Television Services," "Cable
Television -- Pay-Per-View Channels," " -- Radio -- Radio Stations," and " --
DTH Joint Ventures -- Mexico."

      Soccer. We own three of Mexico's soccer teams, two of which, America and
Necaxa, play in the Premiere League and are among the most popular and
successful teams in Mexico, and Real San Luis, which plays in Mexico's First-A
Division League. In 2002 and 2005, America won the Premiere League championship.
Each team plays two 17 game regular seasons. The best teams of each season
engage in post-season championship play. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we broadcast
111, 112 and 87 hours, respectively, of our teams' home games.

      We own the Azteca Stadium which has a seating capacity of approximately
105,000 people. Azteca Stadium has hosted two World Cup Soccer Championships. In
addition, America, Atlante and the Mexican National Soccer team generally play
their home games at this stadium. We have exclusive rights to broadcast the home
games of the America and Necaxa teams, as well as those of eight other Premiere
League soccer teams.

      Promotions. We promote a wide variety of concerts and other shows,
including beauty pageants, song festivals and nightclub shows of popular Mexican
and international artists. In 2004, Azteca Stadium was the site of the annual
Teleton, a charity fundraiser, which raised over Ps.273.7 million for disabled
children.

      We have a 50/50 venture with Clear Channel, now called Vivelo, which is
now focused exclusively on the operations in the U.S. Under this arrangement, we
produce and promote tours of Spanish-speaking artists and other live events
primarily targeting Spanish-speaking audiences in the U.S. In 2003 and 2004,
Vivelo promoted more than 90 and 70 concerts, respectively, in the U.S.
including Chayanne, Alejandro Sanz and Alejandro Fernandez, as well as several
Mexican professional soccer games.

      In October 2002, we acquired a 40% stake in OCEN, a subsidiary of CIE.
OCEN owns all of the assets related to CIE's live entertainment business unit in
Mexico. OCEN's business includes the production and promotion of concerts,
theatrical, family and cultural events, as well as the operation of
entertainment venues, the sale of entrance tickets, food, beverages and
souvenirs, and the organization of special and corporate events. As part of the
agreement, OCEN has access to our media assets to promote its events throughout
Mexico, and we have the right of first refusal to broadcast on our over-the-air
channels and pay-TV ventures movies and events produced and distributed by CIE.

      FEATURE FILM PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION. We produce first-run
Spanish-language feature films, some of which are among Mexico's top films based
on box office receipts. We co-produced four, three and two feature films in
2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. We have previously established co-production
arrangements with Mexican film production companies, as well as with major
international companies such as Miravista, Warner Bros. and Plural
Entertainment. We will continue to consider entering into co-production
arrangements with third parties in the future, although no assurances can be
given in this regard.

      We distribute our films to Mexican movie theaters and later release them
on video for broadcast on cable and network television. In 2002, 2003 and 2004,
we released five, five and one, respectively, of our feature films through movie
theaters, including "Un Dia Sin Mexicanos." We also distribute our feature films
outside of Mexico.

      We have a first option to purchase rights in Mexico to distribute CIE's
feature films in movie theatres and broadcast these films on our cable and
television networks. We purchased the distribution rights in Mexico for 13 and 9
of CIE's feature films in 2002 and 2003, respectively. We have not purchased any
feature films from CIE in 2004.

      We distribute feature films produced by non-Mexican producers in Mexico.
Under an agreement with Warner Bros. which we recently extended through 2005, we
are the exclusive distributor in Mexico of feature films produced by Warner
Bros. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we distributed 53, 53 and 34 feature films,
respectively, including, in 2004, several U.S. box office hits, such as Lord of
the Rings -- Return of the King, Troy and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of the
Azkaban. We also distribute independently produced non-Mexican and Mexican films
in Mexico, such as Matando Cabos and Zapata.

                                     - 37 -


      At December 31, 2004, we owned or had rights to approximately 595
Spanish-language films and 25 movies on video. Many of these films and movies
have been shown on our television networks, cable system and DTH services. We
also licensed the rights to two films produced by third parties.

      NATIONWIDE PAGING. We recently exited the nationwide paging business. On
November 18, 2004, we sold our 51% interest in "Skytel," which is a nationwide
paging service in Mexico and the transaction was authorized by the SCT on March
4, 2005.

      MUTUAL FUND VENTURE. In October 2002, we entered into a joint venture with
a group of investors, including Manuel Robleda, former president of the Mexican
Stock Exchange, to establish "Mas Fondos," the first mutual fund distribution
company in Mexico. Mas Fondos sells mutual funds that are owned and managed by
third parties to individual and institutional investors. Currently, Mas Fondos
distributes 68 funds managed by seven entities. The company operates under a
license granted by the Comision Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, or CNBV. On June
1, 2004, we sold a 5% interest of Mas Fondos to Grupo de Servicios
Profesionales, S.A. de C.V., or Servicios Profesionales. As a result of this
sale we have a 46% interest in Mas Fondos. We received authorization for this
transaction from the CNBV on June 28, 2004. For a description of the
transaction, see "Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions -- The
Principal Shareholders and Related Party Transactions -- The Major Shareholders
-- Transactions and Arrangements with our Directors and Officers."

      POTENTIAL GAMING BUSINESS. We recently obtained a permit from the
Secretaria de Gobernacion, or Mexican Ministry of the Interior, to establish,
among other things, up to 65 sportbooks and number draws throughout Mexico. If
we actively pursue this business, we anticipate to start operations within the
next 12 months. We are in the process of finalizing the business plan for this
new venture.

INVESTMENTS

      We have investments in several other businesses. See Note 5 to our
year-end financial statements.

DTH JOINT VENTURES

      Background. In November 1995, we, along with Globopar, News Corp. and, at
a later date, Liberty Media, agreed to form a number of joint ventures to
develop and operate DTH satellite services for Latin America and the Caribbean
basin.

      In October 1997, we and our partners formed MCOP, a U.S. partnership in
which we, News Corp., and Globopar each indirectly held a 30% interest and in
which Liberty Media indirectly held a 10% interest, to make investments in, and
to supply programming and other services to, the Sky platforms in Latin America
outside of Mexico and Brazil. In addition, until October 2004, each of Televisa,
News Corp., Globopar and Liberty Media indirectly held an interest (in the same
proportion as their interests in MCOP were then held) in Sky Latin America
Partners, or ServiceCo, a U.S. partnership formed to provide certain business
and management services, and TechCo, a U.S. partnership formed to provide
certain technical services from two uplink facilities located in Florida.

      Digital Ku-band DTH satellite services commenced operations for the first
time in Mexico and Brazil in the fourth quarter of 1996, in Colombia in the
fourth quarter of 1997, in Chile in the fourth quarter of 1998 and in Argentina
in the fourth quarter of 2000. We currently, directly and indirectly, own
interests in DTH satellite joint ventures in Mexico, Colombia and Chile. In July
2002, we ceased operations in Argentina. We do not own any equity interest in
the venture in Brazil. In July 2003, we exchanged our 10% minority interest in
the Spanish company which operated Via Digital, a DTH venture in Spain, for a de
minimis ownership interest in Sogecable, a Spanish company which operates the
only DTH venture in Spain, Digital +. No assurances can be given that the DTH
joint ventures will be successful. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk
Factors Related to Our Business -- We Have Experienced Substantial Losses,
Primarily in Respect of Our Investments in Innova and Sky Multi-Country
Partners, and Expect to Continue to Experience Substantial Losses as a Result of
Our Participation in DTH Joint Ventures, Which Would Adversely Affect Our Net
Income." For a description of capital contributions and loans we have made to
date to those ventures, see "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects --
Results of

                                     - 38 -

Expenditures, Acquisitions and Investments, Distributions and Other Sources of
Liquidity" and "Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions -- The
Principal Shareholders and Related Party Transactions -- Related Party
Transactions -- Transactions and Arrangements With Innova -- Capital
Contributions and Loans."

      We have also been developing channels exclusively for pay-television
broadcast. Through our relationship with News Corp., we expect that our DTH
satellite service will continue to negotiate favorable terms for programming
rights with both third parties in Mexico and with international suppliers from
the U.S., Europe and Latin America.

      In December 2003, News Corp. acquired a 34% equity interest in DIRECTV,
and transferred its ownership interest in DIRECTV to Fox Entertainment Group,
Inc., an 82% owned subsidiary of News Corp. Innova's Social Part Holders
Agreement provides that neither we nor News Corp. may directly or indirectly
operate or acquire an interest in any business that operates a DTH satellite
system in Mexico (subject to limited exceptions).

      In October 2004, DIRECTV Mexico announced that it was shutting down its
operations and we, Innova, News Corp., DIRECTV, Liberty Media and Globopar
entered into a series of agreements relating to our DTH joint ventures. With
respect to the DTH joint venture in Mexico:

            -     Innova and DIRECTV Mexico entered into a purchase and sale
                  agreement, pursuant to which Innova agreed to purchase DIRECTV
                  Mexico's subscriber list for two promissory notes with an
                  aggregate original principal amount of approximately Ps.621.1
                  million. The promissory notes mature on the earlier of (i) the
                  date five business days after the date Innova and DIRECTV
                  Mexico finally determine the number of subscribers that
                  successfully migrated from DIRECTV Mexico to Innova, measured
                  as of a date approximately 16 to 22 months after the date of
                  the agreements, or (ii) October 9, 2009;

            -     Innova and DIRECTV Mexico entered into a letter agreement
                  which provides for cash payments to be made (i) by Innova to
                  DIRECTV Mexico if more than 180,000 subscribers successfully
                  migrate to Innova, (ii) by DIRECTV Mexico to Innova if fewer
                  than 70,000 subscribers successfully migrate to Innova, and
                  (iii) by DIRECTV Mexico to Innova to the extent Innova waives
                  the applicable sign-up fees for migrating subscribers or
                  certain migrated subscribers churn shortly after migration;

            -     Innova, Innova Holdings and News Corp. entered into an option
                  agreement, pursuant to which News Corp. was granted options to
                  acquire up to a 15% equity interest in each of Innova and
                  Innova Holdings in exchange for the two promissory notes
                  referred above that were delivered to DIRECTV Mexico. The
                  amount of equity to be received upon the exercise of each
                  option depends on the successful migration and retention of
                  DIRECTV Mexico's subscribers to Innova with a minimum
                  migration of 175,000 subscribers required for the issuance of
                  the full 15% equity interest. The options become exercisable
                  when the DTH business operations of DIRECTV Mexico have
                  finally ceased, Innova and DIRECTV Mexico have finally
                  determined the number of subscribers that successfully
                  migrated from DIRECTV Mexico to Innova, and certain other
                  conditions have been satisfied. If the options become
                  exercisable, the holder may exercise them by delivering to
                  Innova and Innova Holdings the promissory notes for
                  cancellation or by paying to Innova and Innova Holdings an
                  amount in cash equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
                  promissory notes. The options expire on October 8, 2009. If
                  the options are terminated under certain limited circumstances
                  related to regulatory challenges, or after a final
                  determination that renders the options illegal, or expire
                  unexercised, then within ten days of the expiration date,
                  DIRECTV Mexico will be entitled to receive an aggregate cash
                  payment (including any payments made under the notes described
                  above) of up to approximately U.S.$137.7 million if 175,000
                  DIRECTV Mexico subscribers successfully migrate to Innova.
                  Termination of the option is limited to certain limited
                  events;

            -     DIRECTV and News Corp. entered into a purchase agreement
                  pursuant to which DIRECTV acquired (i) the right (which
                  DIRECTV concurrently assigned to DIRECTV Latin America, or
                  DTVLA) to purchase from News Corp. the options granted to News
                  Corp. by Innova and Innova Holdings to purchase up to an
                  additional 15% of the outstanding equity of each of such
                  entities pursuant to the option agreement described above, and
                  (ii) the right to acquire News Corp.'s 30% interest in Innova;

                                     - 39 -


            -     DIRECTV and Liberty Media National Holdings LLC, or Liberty
                  Media, entered into a purchase agreement pursuant to which
                  DIRECTV agreed to purchase all of Liberty Media's 10% interest
                  in Innova for U.S.$88 million in cash, subject to customary
                  closing conditions. DIRECTV has agreed that we may purchase
                  two-thirds (2/3) of any equity interest in Innova sold by
                  Liberty Media, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
                  forth in the purchase agreement between DIRECTV and Liberty
                  Media;

            -     we entered into an amended and restated guaranty with
                  PanAmSat, pursuant to which the proportionate share of
                  Innova's transponder lease obligation guaranteed by us was
                  reduced from 60% to 51%, until the full exercise of the
                  options to News Corp. granted by Innova and Innova Holdings,
                  at which point our guarantee will be adjusted to cover a
                  percentage of the transponder lease obligations equal to our
                  percentage ownership of Innova at that time;

            -     pursuant to the DTH agreement we entered into with News Corp.,
                  Innova, DIRECTV and DTVLA, with respect to certain DTH
                  platforms owned or operated by News Corp. or DIRECTV or their
                  affiliates and subject to certain restrictions, we have the
                  right to require carriage of five of our channels on any such
                  platform serving Latin America (including Puerto Rico but
                  excluding Mexico, Brazil and countries in Central America),
                  two of our channels on any such platform serving the United
                  States or Canada, and one of our channels on any such platform
                  serving areas other than the United States and Latin America;

            -     we, News Corp., Innova, DIRECTV and DTVLA entered into a DTH
                  agreement that, among other things, governs the rights of the
                  parties with respect to DTVLA's announced shutdown of its
                  Mexican DTH business, planned shutdown of its existing DTH
                  business in certain countries in Central America, the carriage
                  of certain of our programming channels by Innova and other DTH
                  platforms of DIRECTV, DTVLA, News Corp. and their respective
                  affiliates, and the waiver and potential release of certain
                  claims between certain of the parties; and

            -     we and Innova entered into a channel licensing agreement
                  pursuant to which Innova will pay us a royalty fee to carry
                  our over-the-air channels on its DTH service.

      If the transactions contemplated by these agreements are consummated, we
will own an approximately 57% equity interest in Innova and DIRECTV and DTVLA
will collectively own an approximately 43% equity interest in Innova.

      In connection with the October 2004 reorganization, with respect to the
DTH joint ventures elsewhere in Latin America:

            -     we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with DIRECTV,
                  pursuant to which among other things, (i) DIRECTV acquired all
                  of our direct equity interests in Sky Latin America Partners,
                  or ServiceCo (a U.S. partnership formed to provide business
                  and management services), (ii) subject to the satisfaction or
                  waiver of certain conditions, including the resolution of an
                  audit currently pending before the U.S. Internal Revenue
                  Service related to MCOP, DIRECTV has agreed to purchase all of
                  our indirect equity interests in MCOP, and (iii) DIRECTV has
                  agreed to indemnify us for any and all losses arising out of
                  our status as a partner in MCOP other than losses arising out
                  of the pending tax audit;

            -     DIRECTV also agreed to purchase each of News Corp.'s, Liberty
                  Media's and Globopar's equity interests in TechCo (a U.S.
                  partnership formed to provide technical services from a main
                  uplink facility in Miami Lakes, Florida and a redundancy site
                  in Port St. Luice, Florida), ServiceCo and MCOP; and

            -     PanAmSat Corporation, or PanAmSat, unconditionally released us
                  from any and all obligations related to the MCOP transponder
                  lease.

      As a result of these transactions, ServiceCo is wholly owned by DIRECTV,
TechCo is owned 70% by DIRECTV and 30% by us, and MCOP is owned 40% by DIRECTV,
30% by Globopar and 30% by us. If the

                                     - 40 -


transactions contemplated by the foregoing agreements are consummated, DIRECTV
will acquire the remaining 60% in MCOP owned by us and by Globopar.

      The closing of these transactions is subject to certain regulatory
approvals, including clearances from competition and telecommunications
authorities in foreign jurisdictions, and other closing conditions. Therefore,
we cannot assure you that these transactions will be consummated. In addition,
Darlene Investments, LLC, or Darlene, a minority owner of DTVLA, has filed suit
alleging fraud, self-dealing and violation of fiduciary duties against DIRECTV,
News Corp. and others seeking, among other things, injunctive relief to preclude
the consummation of these transactions. The timing and outcome of the final
resolutions to these matters is uncertain. See "Other Information -- Legal
Proceedings" for more information on this proceeding.

      Mexico. We operate "Sky," our DTH satellite joint venture in Mexico,
through Innova. We own 60% of this joint venture, and our partners are News
Corp., which owns a 30% interest, and Liberty Media, which owns a 10% interest.
As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, Innova's DTH satellite pay-television service
had approximately 856,600 and 1,002,500 gross active subscribers, respectively,
as compared to approximately 737,800 gross active subscribers as of December 31,
2002. Innova primarily attributes its successful growth to its superior
programming content, its exclusive transmission of sporting events such as
soccer tournaments and special events such as reality shows, its high quality
customer service and its nationwide distribution network with more than 3,100
points of sale. Sky continues to offer the highest quality and exclusive content
in the Mexican pay-television industry. Its programming packages combine our
over-the-air channels with other DTH exclusive channels produced by News Corp.

      During 2004, Sky continued to enhance its programming content by adding
special events on a pay-TV exclusive basis, including the reality shows Big
Brother VIP3 and "Confianza Ciega" and several professional sporting events,
including certain matches of the Mexican Closing Soccer Tournament and the
Opening Soccer Tournament, the pay-TV exclusive broadcast of the America team
soccer matches in the "Copa Libertadores" soccer tournament, the Wimbledon and
U.S. Open tennis tournaments, boxing matches, certain matches of the Mexican
baseball league, the LPGA, U.S. PGA and U.S. Senior PGA golf tournaments, an
interactive mosaic channel of the Olympic Games at Athens and the NFL Sunday
Ticket, previously an exclusive content of DIRECTV Mexico.

      During 2004, Sky also added several new channels to its line-up,
including: Antena 3, a popular channel broadcast in Spain; the "Film Zone," a
movies channel; TV Globo, a popular Brazilian channel, the "G Channel," an
adult-oriented channel; the Cinecanal Classics, a classic movies channel; VH1, a
music videos channel; and Universal channel, a movies channel. In addition to
new programming contracts, Sky continues to operate under arrangements with a
number of third party programming providers to provide additional channels to
its subscribers, including HBO, MaxPrime, Cinemax, The Discovery Channel, E!
Entertainment, The Disney Channel, National Geographic, Canal Fox, Fox Sports,
Fox News, MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, TNT, CNN, The Cartoon Network, Boomerang,
Playboy, BBC World and The Bloomberg Channel. Sky also has arrangements with the
following studios to show films on an as-needed basis: DreamWorks, 20th Century
Fox, Universal Studios International, Buenavista International, MGM, Paramount
Pictures, Sony Pictures International, PWI Films, Inc., Warner Bros., and
Independent Studios.

      Sky currently offers 192 digital channels through five programming
packages: Basic (70 video channels, 32 audio channels and 31 pay-per-view); Fun
(88 video channels, 32 audio channels and 37 pay-per-view); Movie City (102
video channels, 32 audio channels and 37 pay-per-view); HBO/Max (106 video
channels, 32 audio channels and 37 pay-per-view); and Universe (123 video
channels, 32 audio channels and 37 pay-per-view) for a monthly fee of Ps.228.00,
Ps.278.00, Ps.398.00, Ps.448.00, and Ps.588.00, respectively. The subscriber
receives a "prompt payment" discount if the monthly subscription payment is made
within 12 days after the billing date.

      Programming package monthly fees for residential subscribers, net of a
prompt payment discount if the subscriber pays within 12 days of the billing
date, are the following: Basic Ps.151.00, Fun Ps.241.00, Movie City Ps.351.00,
HBO/Max Ps.401.00 and Universe Ps.541.00. Monthly fees for each programming
package do not reflect a monthly rental fee in the amount of Ps.161.00 for the
decoder necessary to receive the service (or Ps.148.00 if the subscriber pays
within 12 days of the billing date) and a one-time installation fee of
Ps.799.00, which is reduced to

                                     - 41 -



Ps.699.00 if the subscriber pays the monthly programming fees via an automatic
charge to a debit card or Ps.199.00 if payment is charged directly to a credit
card.

      Sky devotes 24 pay-per-view channels to family entertainment and movies
and seven channels are devoted to adult entertainment. In addition, Sky assigns
six extra channels exclusively for special events, known as Sky Events, which
include boxing matches, concerts, sports and movies. Sky provides some Sky
Events at no additional cost while it sells others on a pay-per-view basis.

      For years 2002 and 2003, revenues from telecommunications and pay
television services, including such services provided by Innova, were subject to
a 10% excise tax. For those years, Innova filed amparo proceedings challenging
the constitutionality of this excise tax. Innova obtained a favorable ruling in
respect of its 2002 amparo proceeding. Innova continues proceedings to recover
the amounts paid for this tax in 2002. The 2003 amparo proceeding was denied
with respect to Innova.

      Innova implemented a rate increase in January 2002 in an effort to
mitigate, in part, the impact of this tax on its results of operations and
financial condition. The imposition of the tax caused a decrease in net income
attributable to the services provided by Innova, as well as adversely impacted
the ability of the company to attract new subscribers.

      The 10% excise tax imposed on services rendered in connection with
restricted television, including DTH, which affected directly the services
rendered by Innova, was eliminated as of January 1, 2004. From this date and
going forward Innova recognizes this positive effect as part of its revenues,
without any modification in price to its subscribers.

      In November 2003, Sky successfully implemented a new subscriber management
system, or SMS, to support the growth of its subscriber base by managing client
billing services. Currently this system is in service and fully operational.

      Colombia. The Colombian DTH platform commenced operations in December 1997
and as of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, had over 36,300 and 34,900
gross active subscribers, respectively, and provided 74 video channels, 29
pay-per-view channels and 40 audio channels. As of December 31, 2004, we owned a
27.1% interest in this venture on a fully diluted basis through MCOP, and our
partners, Casa Editorial El Tiempo, S.A., Radio Cadena Nacional, S.A., RTI
Comunicaciones de Colombia Ltda. and Pastrana Arango, owned 2.80%, 2.72%, 2.76%
and 1.32%, respectively. The concession for the Colombian DTH platform was
granted in 1997 for 10 years and Sky Colombia has the right to renew six months
prior to the expiration date. We are not obligated to make any capital
contributions or incur any obligations in respect of this venture and, if the
proposed sale of our interest in MCOP to DIRECTV is completed, we will have no
further ownership interest in the Columbian DTH platform.

      Chile. Sky Chile, the Chilean DTH platform, commenced operations in
October 1998 and, as of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, had over 52,200
and over 52,600 gross active subscribers, respectively, and provided 78 video
channels, 30 pay-per-view channels and 41 audio channels. As of December 31,
2004, we owned a 30% interest in this venture on a fully diluted basis through
MCOP. As of December 31, 2004, we did not have any local partners in this joint
venture. The concession for the Chilean DTH platform was granted in 1998 for 10
years and Sky Chile has the right to renew 180 days prior to expiration. We are
not obligated to make any capital contributions or incur any obligations in
respect of this venture and, if the proposed sale of our interest in MCOP to
DIRECTV is completed, we will have no further ownership interest in the Chilean
DTH platform.

      Programming. We and News Corp. are major sources of programming content
for our DTH joint ventures and have granted our DTH joint ventures in Latin
America and Mexico exclusive DTH satellite service broadcast rights to all of
our and News Corp.'s existing and future program services (including
pay-per-view services on DTH), subject to some pre-existing third party
agreements in the territories of our DTH joint ventures in Latin America and
Mexico and excluding the Fox Sports (Americas) channel. In addition to sports,
news and general entertainment programming, we provide our DTH joint ventures in
Mexico with exclusive DTH satellite service broadcast rights to our four
over-the-air broadcast channels, which are among the most popular television
channels in Mexico. Our

                                     - 42 -



DTH satellite service in Mexico is the only pay-television service that offers
all the over-the-air broadcast signals from Mexico City as well as our channels
from Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla and Veracruz. Our DTH satellite service also
has exclusive DTH broadcast rights in Mexico to Fox News and Canal Fox, one of
the leading pay-television channels in Mexico. Through its relationships with us
and News Corp., we expect that the DTH satellite service in Mexico will be able
to continue to negotiate favorable terms for programming both with third parties
in Mexico and with international suppliers from the U.S., Europe and Latin
America.

UNIVISION

      In December 1992, A. Jerrold Perenchio, a Los Angeles private investor,
Corporacion Venezolana de Television (Venevision), C.A. and one of our
subsidiaries acquired the businesses of Univision from Hallmark Cards, Inc. We
currently own 39,289,534 shares and warrants representing an approximate 10.7%
equity interest in Univision, on a fully diluted basis. Information regarding
Univision's business which appears in this annual report has been derived
primarily from public filings made by Univision with the SEC and the FCC.

      We currently have a number of programming and financial arrangements with
Univision, the leading Spanish-language media company in the U.S. which owns and
operates the Univision Network, the most-watched Spanish-language television
network in the U.S.; the TeleFutura broadcast and Galavision satellite/cable
television networks; several dozen full power and low power television broadcast
stations; and 68 radio stations constituting the largest Spanish-language radio
broadcasting company in the U.S.; and the Univision Music Group, the leading
Spanish-language music recording and publishing company in terms of music record
sales in the U.S.

      We and Venevision, a Venezuelan media company, have agreed to supply
programming to Univision under program license agreements that expire in
December 2017, under which we and Venevision granted Univision an exclusive
license to broadcast in the United States, solely over the Univision, Galavision
and TeleFutura Networks, substantially all Spanish-language television
programming, including programming with Spanish subtitles, for which we or
Venevision own the U.S. distribution rights, subject to some exceptions,
including some co-productions. See "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
-- Results of Operations -- Programming Exports." We are entitled, in addition
to our 9% programming royalty on net time sales in respect of the Univision and
Galavision Networks, to an incremental 3% programming royalty on net time sales
on these networks to the extent such net time sales exceed net time sales for
the year 2001, as well as a 12% programming royalty on net time sales of the
TeleFutura Network, subject to certain adjustments, including minimum annual
royalties of U.S.$5.0 million in respect of TeleFutura for 2003, increasing by
U.S.$2.5 million each year up to U.S.$12.5 million. In exchange for programming
royalties based upon combined net time sales regardless of the amount of our and
Venevision's programming used by Univision, we have agreed that we will provide
Univision with 8,531 hours of programming per year for the term of the
agreement. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Our
Business -- Future Activities Which We May Wish to Undertake in the U.S. May Be
Affected by Our Arrangements With Univision. These Activities, as Well as a
Current Dispute We Are Having With Univision, May Affect Our Relationship With,
and Our Equity Interest in, Univision" for a description of our current dispute
with Univision relating to royalties under the program license agreement with
Univision. In 2004, Televisa programming represented approximately 36% of
Univision's and 23% of TeleFutura Networks' non-repeat broadcast hours,
respectively.

      Under an agreement we have with Univision, we are required to offer
Univision the opportunity to acquire a 50% economic interest in our interest in
certain ventures relating to U.S. Spanish-language television broadcasting.

      We and Univision entered into definitive agreements in April 2003 to
commence a joint venture to introduce our satellite and cable pay-TV programming
into the United States. The joint venture company, called TuTV, commenced
operations in the second quarter of 2003. It currently distributes five
channels, including two of our existing movie channels and three channels
featuring music videos, celebrity lifestyle and interviews and entertainment
news programming, and will create future channels available in the U.S. that
feature our programming. In May 2003, TuTV entered into a five-year distribution
agreement with EchoStar Communications Corporation for three of the five
existing channels. TuTV is jointly controlled by Univision and us, and we have
each agreed to contribute U.S.$20 million over the first three years of the
venture. We cannot assure you that this venture will be profitable.

                                     - 43 -



      We have an international program rights agreement with Univision that
requires Univision to grant us and Venevision the right to broadcast, outside
the United States, programs produced by Univision for broadcast on the Univision
or Galavision networks. We have the exclusive right to broadcast these programs
in Mexico and Venevision has the exclusive right to broadcast these programs in
Venezuela. We and Venevision each have an undivided right to broadcast these
programs in all other territories (other than the United States, but including
Puerto Rico), provided those programs were on the air as of October 2, 1996. The
rights to these programs granted to us and Venevision will revert back to
Univision when the relevant program license agreement terminates. For such
programs produced after October 2, 1996, we and Venevision have the exclusive
broadcast and related merchandising rights for Mexico and Venezuela, but
Univision retains all rights for the rest of the world. For such programs
produced after September 26, 1996, we and Venevision have merchandising rights
only in those territories. The rights to these programs granted to us and
Venevision will revert back to Univision when we or Venevision, as the case may
be, own less than an aggregate of 13,578,084 shares and warrants of Univision,
unless our ownership interest changes as a result of a merger or other similar
transaction involving Univision, in which case these rights will continue until
the termination of the program license agreement.

      In addition, we entered into arrangements with Univision regarding two
Puerto Rico television stations that Univision had an option to acquire and to
which Univision provides programming. Univision exercised this option in
December of 2004, subject to FCC approval (where a third party challenged the
transaction, in 2005, and the application remains pending), and, as a result,
Univision is required to offer us the right to acquire a 15% interest in the
Puerto Rico stations and to offer Venevision the right to acquire a 10% interest
in the stations if the transaction is approved. Until May 2005, Univision has a
right of first refusal with respect to Televisa programs that are not already
subject to preexisting contractual commitments, and will pay performance and
license fees to us for these programs. After May 2005, its rights will be
exclusive in a manner similar to existing program rights agreements, and it will
pay Televisa royalties for these rights. Similar arrangements exist between
Univision and Venevision.

      In December 2001, we made a U.S.$375.0 million equity investment in
Univision for which we ultimately received 10,594,500 shares of Univision Class
A Common Stock. We have rights to require Univision to register for public sale
the shares of Univision stock that we own.

      In addition, we are entitled to elect one director and one alternate
director to Univision's Board of Directors. In 2002, we appointed Emilio
Azcarraga Jean, our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President
and President of our Executive Committee of our Board, as our director of
Univision, and Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega, our Executive Vice President, as our
alternate director of Univision. Univision subsequently appointed Mr. Azcarraga
Jean as Vice-Chairman of its Board of Directors. Effective as of May 9, 2005,
Mr. Azcarraga Jean and Mr. de Angoitia Noriega resigned as a director and
alternate director, respectively, of Univision. See "Key Information -- Risk
Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Our Business -- Future Activities Which We
May Wish to Undertake in the U.S. May Be Affected by Our Arrangements With
Univision. These Activities, as Well as a Current Dispute We Are Having With
Univision, May Affect Our Relationship With, and Our Equity Interest in,
Univision."

COMPETITION

      We compete with various forms of media and entertainment companies in
Mexico, both Mexican and non-Mexican.

TELEVISION BROADCASTING

      Our television stations compete for advertising revenues and for the
services of recognized talent and qualified personnel with other television
stations (including the stations owned by TV Azteca) in their markets, as well
as with other advertising media, such as radio, newspapers, outdoor advertising,
cable television and multi-channel, multi-point, multi-channel distribution
system and DTH satellite services. We generally compete with 197 channels
throughout Mexico, including the channels of our major competitor, TV Azteca,
which owns and operates Channels 7 and 13 in Mexico City, which we believe are
affiliated with 176 stations outside of Mexico City. Televisora del

                                     - 44 -



Valle de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. owns the concession for Channel 40, a UHF channel
that broadcasts in the Mexico City metropolitan area. Based upon IBOPE Mexico
surveys, during 2002, 2003 and 2004, the combined average audience share
throughout Mexico of both the Channel 7 and 13 networks was 27.6%, 29.9% and
31.1%, respectively, during prime time, and 25.6%, 28.2% and 28.7%,
respectively, during sign-on to sign-off hours. See " -- Television --
Television Industry in Mexico."

      In addition to the foregoing channels, there are additional operating
channels in Mexico with which we also compete, including Channel 11, which has 7
repeater stations, and Channel 22 in Mexico City, which are operated by the
Mexican government. Our television stations are the leading television stations
in their respective markets. See " -- Television -- Television Broadcasting."

      Our English- and Spanish-language border stations compete with English-and
Spanish-language television stations in the U.S., and our Spanish-language
productions compete with other English- and Spanish-language programs broadcast
in the U.S.

      We are a major supplier of Spanish-language programming in the U.S. and
throughout the world. We face competition from other international producers of
Spanish-language programming and other types of programming.

      PUBLISHING

      Each of our magazine publications competes for readership and advertising
revenues with other magazines of a general character and with other forms of
print and non-print media. Competition for advertising is based on circulation
levels, reader demographics and advertising rates.

      CABLE TELEVISION

      According to the most recent information from CANITEC, there were
approximately 572 cable concessions in Mexico as of December 31, 2004 serving
approximately 2.3 million subscribers. Cablevision is the largest cable system
operator in Mexico City and one of seven cable system operators in the areas
surrounding Mexico City. Cablevision also competes with Innova, our DTH joint
venture. See " -- Cable Television -- Mexico City Cable System" and " -- DTH
Satellite Services." Cablevision also faces competition from MVS Multivision,
S.A. de C.V., or Multivision, a multi-point, multi-channel distribution system,
or MMDS, operator, in Mexico City and the surrounding areas. MMDS, commonly
called wireless cable, is a microwave transmission system which operates from a
headend similar to that of a cable system. Multivision has been in operation for
more than 15 years and offers 15 channels to its subscribers, but it cannot
broadcast Mexico's over-the-air channels, including Channels 2, 4, 5 and 9. Some
of the channels that Multivision broadcasts compete directly with the
Cablevision channels, as well as Cablevision's 28 pay-per-view channels.
Furthermore, since Cablevision operates under non-exclusive franchises, other
companies may obtain permission to build cable television systems and MMDS
systems in areas where Cablevision presently operates. In addition, pursuant to
the Ley Federal de Telecomunicaciones, or the Telecommunications Law,
Cablevision is required to provide access to its cable network to the extent it
has available capacity on its network.

      In addition, in connection with its Internet access services and other new
products and multimedia communications services, Cablevision will face
competition from several media and telecommunications companies throughout
Mexico, including Internet service providers, DTH services and other personal
communication and telephone companies, including us and our affiliates.

      RADIO

      The radio broadcast business is highly competitive in Mexico. Our radio
stations compete with other radio stations in their respective markets, as well
as with other advertising media, such as television, newspapers, magazines and
outdoor advertising. Among our principal competitors in the radio broadcast
business are Grupo Radio Centro, S.A. de C.V., which owns or operates
approximately 114 radio stations throughout Mexico, 11 of

                                     - 45 -



which are located in Mexico City, and Grupo Acir, which owns or operates
approximately 160 radio stations in Mexico, seven of which are located in Mexico
City.

      Competition for audience share in the radio broadcasting industry in
Mexico occurs primarily in individual geographic markets. Our radio stations are
located in highly competitive areas. However, the strength of the signals
broadcast by a number of our stations enables them to reach a larger percentage
of the radio audience outside the market areas served by their competitors.

      FEATURE FILM PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION

      Production and distribution of feature films is a highly competitive
business in Mexico. The various producers compete for the services of recognized
talent and for film rights to scripts and other literary property. We compete
with other feature film producers, Mexican and non-Mexican, and distributors in
the distribution of films in Mexico. See " -- Other Businesses -- Feature Film
Production and Distribution." Our films also compete with other forms of
entertainment and leisure time activities.

      DTH SATELLITE SERVICES

      Innova presently competes with, or expects to compete with, among others,
cable systems (including Cablevision), MMDS systems, national broadcast networks
(including our four networks), regional and local broadcast stations,
unauthorized C-band and Ku-band television signals obtained by Mexican viewers
on the gray market, radio, movie theaters, video rental stores, internet and
other entertainment and leisure activities generally.

      Innova's main DTH competitor in Mexico used to be DTVLA, which operated
DIRECTV Mexico. In October 2004, DTVLA announced that it was shutting down
DIRECTV Mexico's operations and agreed to sell its subscriber list to Innova.

      Consolidation in the entertainment and broadcast industries could further
intensify competitive pressures. As the pay-television market in Mexico matures,
Innova expects to face competition from an increasing number of sources,
including emerging technologies that provide new services to pay-television
customers and require us to make significant capital expenditures in new
technologies.

      Other entities have announced the formation of partnerships or ventures or
obtained licenses to provide DTH satellite services in Latin America but are not
yet operational.

REGULATION

      Our business, activities and investments are subject to various Mexican
and U.S. federal, state and local statutes, rules, regulations, policies and
procedures, which are constantly subject to change, and are affected by the
actions of various Mexican and U.S. federal, state and local governmental
authorities. The material Mexican and U.S. federal, state and local statutes,
rules, regulations, policies and procedures to which our business, activities
and investments are subject are summarized below. These summaries do not purport
to be complete and should be read together with the full texts of the relevant
statutes, rules, regulations, policies and procedures described therein.

      TELEVISION

   Mexican Television Regulations

      Concessions. In order to own and operate a television station in Mexico, a
broadcaster must obtain a concession, which must be published in the Official
Gazette of the Federation, from the SCT to broadcast over a certain channel.
Applications are submitted to the SCT and, after a formal review process of all
competing applications and an objection period open to third parties, a
concession is granted. Concessions may be granted for up to 30 years. The SCT
may void the grant of any concession or terminate or revoke the concession at
any time, upon the occurrence of, among others, the following events:

                                     - 46 -



            -     failure to construct broadcasting facilities within a
                  specified time period;

            -     changes in the location of the broadcasting facilities or
                  changes in the frequency assigned without prior governmental
                  authorization;

            -     direct or indirect transfer of the concession, the rights
                  arising therefrom or ownership of the broadcasting facilities
                  without prior governmental authorization;

            -     transfer or encumbrance, in whole or in part, of the
                  concession, the rights arising therefrom, the broadcasting
                  equipment or any assets dedicated to the concessionaire's
                  activities, to a foreign government, company or individual, or
                  the admission of any such person as a partner in the
                  concessionaire's business;

            -     failure to broadcast for more than 60 days without reasonable
                  justification;

            -     any amendment to the bylaws of the concessionaire that is in
                  violation of applicable Mexican law; and

            -     any breach to the terms of the concession title.

      None of our concessions has ever been revoked or otherwise terminated.

      We believe that we have operated our television concessions substantially
in compliance with their terms and applicable Mexican law. If a concession is
revoked or terminated, the concessionaire could be required to forfeit to the
Mexican government all of its assets or the Mexican government could have the
right to purchase all the concessionaire's assets. In our case, the assets of
our licensee subsidiaries generally consist of transmitting facilities and
antennas. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Our
Business -- The Operation of Our Business May Be Terminated or Interrupted if
the Mexican Government Does Not Renew or Revokes Our Broadcast or Other
Concessions; Proposed Revisions to the Ley Federal de Radio y Television, or
Radio and Television Law, if Adopted, Could Adversely Impact our Results of
Operations."

      Concessions may be renewed for a term of up to 30 years. In July 2004, in
connection with the adoption of a release issued by the SCT for the transition
to digital television, all of our television concessions were renewed until
2021. The expiration dates for the concessions for our radio stations range from
2008 to 2016. Our cable telecommunications concessions expire in 2029. See "Key
Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Our Business -- The
Operation of Our Business May Be Terminated or Interrupted if the Mexican
Government Does Not Renew or Revokes Our Broadcast or Other Concessions;
Proposed Revisions to the Ley Federal de Radio y Television, or Radio and
Television Law, if Adopted, Could Adversely Impact our Results of Operations."

      Supervision of Operations. The SCT regularly inspects the television
stations and the companies to which concessions have been granted must file
annual reports with the SCT.

      Television programming is not censored under Mexican law, except that it
is subject to various regulations, including prohibitions on foul language and
programming which is offensive or is against the national security or against
public order. Under Mexican regulations, the Secretaria de Gobernacion, or
Mexican Ministry of the Interior, reviews most television programming and
classifies the age group for which the programming is acceptable for viewing.
Programs classified for adults may be broadcast only after 10:00 p.m.; programs
classified for adults and teenagers over 15 years old may be broadcast only
after 9:00 p.m.; programs classified for adults and teenagers under 15 years old
may be broadcast only after 8:00 p.m.; and programs classified for all age
groups may be shown at any time.

      Television programming is required to promote Mexico's cultural, social
and ideological identity. Each concessionaire is also required to transmit each
day, free of charge, up to 30 minutes of programming regarding cultural,
educational, family counseling and other social matters using programming
provided by the Mexican government. Historically, the Mexican government has not
used a significant portion of this time. In addition, during

                                     - 47 -



political campaigns all registered political parties have the right to purchase
time to broadcast political messages at commercial rates.

      Networks. There are no Mexican regulations regarding the ownership and
operation of a television network, such as the Channel 2, 4, 5 and 9 networks,
apart from the regulations applicable to operating a television station as
described above.

      Restrictions on Advertising. Mexican law regulates the type and content of
advertising broadcast on television. Concessionaires may not broadcast
misleading advertisements. Under current law, advertisements of alcoholic
beverages (other than beer and wine) may be broadcast only after 10:00 p.m. As
of January 20, 2004, advertisements for tobacco products are prohibited by
amendment to the Ley General de Salud, or the Public Health Law. Advertising for
alcoholic beverages must not be excessive and must be combined with general
promotions of nutrition and general hygiene. The advertisements of some products
and services, such as medicine and alcohol, require approval of the Mexican
government prior to their broadcast. Moreover, the Mexican government must
approve any advertisement of lotteries and other games.

      No more than 18% of broadcast time may be used for advertisements on any
day. The SCT approves the minimum advertising rates. There are no restrictions
on maximum rates.

      Broadcast Tax. Since 1969, radio and television stations have been subject
to a tax which may be paid by granting the Mexican government the right to use
12.5% of all daily broadcast time. In October 2002, the 12.5% tax was replaced
by the obligation to the Mexican government to provide up to 18 minutes per day
of our television broadcast time and 35 minutes per day of our radio broadcast
time between 6:00 a.m. and midnight, in each case distributed in an equitable
and proportionate manner. Any time not used by the Mexican government on any day
is forfeited. Generally, the Mexican government uses all or substantially all of
the broadcast time available under this tax.

      Foreign Ownership. Non-Mexican ownership of shares of Mexican enterprises
is restricted in some economic sectors, including broadcast television, cable
television, radio and DTH satellite services. Under Mexico's Ley de Inversion
Extranjera, or Foreign Investment Law, the Ley Federal de Radio y Television, or
Radio and Television Law, and the Reglamento de la Ley de Inversion Extranjera,
or Foreign Investment Law Regulations, foreign investors may not vote the
capital stock of Mexican broadcasting companies (other than through "neutral
investment" mechanisms, such as through the CPOs held by certain of our
shareholders). See " -- Satellite Communications -- Mexican Regulation of DTH
Satellite Services."

   Regulation of U.S. Television Broadcast Networks and Satellite/Cable Networks

      Univision is subject to U.S. laws and regulations affecting the Univision
and TeleFutura television broadcast networks and the Galavision satellite/cable
network.

      Television Broadcast Network Restrictions. Under current FCC rules, there
are no limits either on the number of broadcast networks that may be maintained
by a television broadcast network organization, or on the number of television
stations that may be affiliated with a network organization. Mergers among any
existing or future U.S. television broadcast networks are permitted by the FCC
except among ABC, CBS, Fox or NBC, and television broadcast networks may
acquire, or be acquired by or commonly controlled with, cable television
systems. FCC rules restrict television broadcast networks' contractual
relationships with their affiliated stations.

      Satellite/Cable Network Restrictions. Chiefly through its jurisdiction
over cable system operators, the FCC regulates satellite and cable networks in a
variety of ways, including, but not limited to, by preventing the ability of
certain cable networks to discriminate against non-affiliated multi-channel
video programming distributors in the sale or delivery of programming, limiting
the number of commercial minutes that may be sold within children's programming,
and imposing closed captioning requirements on programs transmitted to cable
subscribers.

      Ownership Restrictions. There are no restrictions on non-U.S. ownership of
U.S. broadcast networks or satellite/cable networks.

                                     - 48 -



   U.S. Regulation of Broadcast Stations

      The ownership and operation of U.S. broadcast stations, including
television and radio stations owned by and/or affiliated with Univision, are
subject to the jurisdiction of the FCC, which acts under authority granted by
the U.S. Communications Act. The FCC allots particular TV and radio channels to
specific communities, approves stations' technical parameters and operating
equipment, issues, modifies, renews and revokes licenses, approves changes in
licensee ownership or control, regulates the ownership and employment practices
of licensees, and in certain limited respects controls the content of broadcast
programming, including by imposing sanctions for the broadcast of obscene,
indecent or profane material. The FCC collects annual regulatory fees and
imposes penalties, including monetary fines and license revocation, for
violations of the Communications Act or its rules.

      Ownership Matters. FCC rules limit the "attributable" interests that an
individual or entity may hold in broadcast licensees. Generally, the officers,
directors, general partners, parties who own or control a 5% or greater voting
stock interest (20% if the holder is a qualified passive investor), and
non-"insulated" limited partners and limited liability company members of a
licensee or its parent hold "attributable" interests in the licensee. Also
constituting "attributable" interests are the brokering of more than 15% of a
television station's weekly program time by another TV station in the market or
of a radio station's weekly program time by another radio station in the market,
and the holding of equity and debt interests that together exceed 33% of a
licensee's total asset value, if the interest holder supplies more than 15% of
total weekly programming hours or is an attributable same-market media entity.

      On June 2, 2003, the FCC adopted substantial changes to its broadcast
ownership rules that would restrict the holdings that those with attributable
interests in broadcast licensees may possess in various types of media
properties. Before the new rules took effect, however, several parties appealed
the FCC's order, and on September 3, 2003, the United States Court of Appeals
for the Third Circuit, or Third Circuit, issued a stay of the new rules. On June
24, 2004, the Third Circuit issued a decision remanding some of the rules to the
FCC for additional justification or modification, and affirming others. The FCC
has declined to appeal this ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, and on June 13,
2005 the Supreme Court declined to hear appeals filed by several third parties
in the proceeding. In connection with its decision, the Third Circuit stayed the
effective date of all of the FCC's revised rules, including those it had
affirmed. In September 2004, in response to the FCC's Petition for Rehearing,
the court lifted the stay as to several local radio market regulations and
allowed them to take effect. With respect to the remaining rules, the FCC must
now conduct additional proceedings in response to the Third Circuit's remand.

      Pursuant to legislation signed into law on January 23, 2004, an entity may
hold "attributable" interests in U.S. television stations with an aggregate
national audience reach of 39% of total U.S. television households. This law was
a compromise between those desiring to maintain the pre-June 2003 limit of 35%
and those supporting the FCC's June 2003 order, which would have raised the
limit to 45%. For purposes of this national audience reach cap, all potential
viewers in each market in which an entity holds an "attributable" TV station
interest are counted regardless of the station's actual audience ratings, but
UHF television stations are attributed with only 50% of the television
households in their markets. The FCC's June 2003 action temporarily retained
this "UHF Discount," which benefits Univision since virtually all of its
television stations operate in the UHF band. In February 2004, the FCC sought
public comment on whether the new law establishing a 39% national audience reach
limitation restricts the FCC's authority to alter or eliminate the UHF Discount.
Univision has filed comments urging the FCC to conclude that the law mandates
retention of the UHF Discount. In its June 24, 2004 decision, the Third Circuit
held that the new law mandating a 39% audience reach cap rendered moot the
appeals before it on that issue. The court also found that it could not
entertain challenges to the FCC's retention of the UHF Discount, but that the
FCC itself could decide the scope of its authority to modify or eliminate the
UHF Discount.

      The FCC also limits television ownership at the local level, that is,
within each individual market (as between different markets, only the national
audience reach cap limits the ownership of television stations). The June 2003
FCC action would have liberalized the circumstances under which a single entity
may hold interests in two stations in the same market, and permitted for the
first time common ownership of three same-market television stations in the
largest markets, including some markets where Univision currently owns two
stations. In its June 24, 2004 decision, the Third Circuit found that the
justification for these changes was inadequate, and directed the FCC either to
provide better support for strictly numerical limits that weight all television
stations in each market as equal, or to modify the regulations to reflect actual
market share. The court upheld the FCC's decision to maintain its prohibition on
common ownership of any two of the top four stations in a given market.

                                     - 49 -



      Since 2002, common ownership of television stations and cable television
systems in the same market has been allowed. The Third Circuit upheld the FCC's
June 2003 decision to repeal the ban on common ownership of broadcast stations
and daily newspapers. However, at the same time, the court remanded for further
proceedings the cross-media limits that would have replaced both the
broadcast/newspaper cross-ownership ban and the former rule limiting common
ownership of radio and television stations in the same market. The FCC's June
2003 action would have prohibited cross-media combinations only in markets with
three or fewer television stations. The Third Circuit determined that the FCC
had not provided adequate justification to support the specific combinations of
newspaper, television and radio ownership that it proposed to allow. As a
result, the existing cross-ownership restrictions remain in effect, pursuant to
the court's stay.

      There is no national limit on the number of U.S. radio stations in which a
single entity may hold "attributable" interests. On the local level,
"attributable" interests may currently be held in up to eight radio stations in
the largest markets, based on the total number of radio stations in the market.
Although the FCC did not alter the local radio ownership limits in its June 2003
decision, it did decide to use a different methodology for defining a radio
market for purposes of determining compliance with these limits. Under the
revised rule, the FCC will use markets defined by Arbitron, the principal market
research firm providing radio ratings survey data, instead of the complex
case-by-case determination based on signal overlap that previously applied. This
new methodology means that certain existing commonly owned station groups now
exceed the current numerical limits. The Third Circuit upheld the FCC's adoption
of the new methodology for defining radio markets, but remanded the FCC's
decision to retain its existing numerical limits, which do not consider the
overall market share of co-owned stations. The FCC had announced in its June
2003 decision that combinations exceeding its limits under the new market
definition would be "grandfathered," but could not be transferred intact, except
to a qualified small business entity, a concept that the Third Circuit upheld.
The FCC had said that it would process station sale applications pending at the
time the new rules take effect under the revised market definition methodology.
Following the lifting of the stay as to the local radio market rules, the FCC
began to process applications under the new market definition in October 2004.
The new rules also provide that any station subject to a joint sales agreement
under which another radio station licensee in the same market brokers more than
15% of the brokered station's total weekly advertising time will be attributed
to the licensee selling the advertising time as if that company held the license
of such station(s).

      The FCC's action in response to the Third Circuit's remand
notwithstanding, some or all of these changes could be superseded by
Congressional action (such legislation has been introduced).

      Alien Ownership. Under the Communications Act, broadcast licenses may not
be granted to non-U.S. citizens (including their representatives), foreign
governments or their representatives, or non-U.S. companies (collectively,
"non-U.S. Persons"); to any entity having more than 20% of its equity owned or
voted by non-U.S. Persons; or to any entity whose parent company is more than
25% owned by non-U.S. Persons. The 25% provision may be waived, but waivers have
been rare in the broadcast context.

      License Renewal. Television and radio broadcasting licenses are subject to
renewal, normally for an eight-year term, upon application to the FCC. A license
renewal application will be granted, and no competing applications for the same
frequency will be entertained, if the licensee has served the public interest,
has committed no serious violations of the Communications Act or the FCC's
rules, and has not committed other violations which together would constitute a
pattern of abuse of such Act or rules. However, interested parties, including
members of the public, may file petitions to deny license renewal applications,
and the transferability of an applicant's license may be restricted during the
pendency of its renewal application.

      Programming and Operation. The Communications Act requires broadcasters to
serve the public interest. All licensees must present programming that is
responsive to community problems, needs and interests, and maintain certain
records demonstrating such responsiveness. By Act of Congress, television
licensees must also present programming specifically designed to educate and
inform children, must limit the number of commercial minutes and comply with
other restrictions on commercial practices during children's programming, and
must maintain and file records demonstrating compliance with these requirements.
The FCC also prohibits or restricts the broadcast of obscene, indecent or
profane programming.

                                     - 50 -



      Failure to observe FCC rules and policies can result in the imposition of
various sanctions, including monetary forfeitures, the grant of renewals for
less than the standard eight-year renewal term or, for particularly egregious
violations, the denial of a license renewal application or the revocation of a
license.

      Digital Television Transition. The FCC has assigned each U.S. full power
television station an additional 6 MHz of broadcast spectrum for the provision
of a free digital video programming service. Broadcasters may utilize this
spectrum to provide multiple video programming streams, and may also use some of
the new spectrum for data transmission and other revenue-generating services, so
long as such services do not detract from the free over-the-air program service.
The broadcast licensee must pay the FCC 5% of any gross subscription and
advertising revenues received from all ancillary or supplementary services.
Univision's television stations have either timely commenced digital television,
or DTV, operations pursuant to their FCC authorizations, or have received or
requested extensions that would authorize their commencement of DTV operations
at a future date. All broadcasters are required to operate exclusively in the
digital mode and to surrender channels operating in analog mode no later than
December 31, 2006, assuming that certain penetration levels pertaining to the
transmission and reception of DTV signals have been achieved in each individual
market by that date. Although Congress has required the FCC to extend this
deadline on a market-by-market basis if the requisite penetration levels have
not been met by that time, and the FCC is currently considering precisely how to
make that determination, Congress is now weighing other options for terminating
analog broadcasting including the possible imposition of a "hard" deadline.

      The transition to digital television continues to require significant
expenditures by licensees such as Univision, although the FCC has permitted
lower-powered, and therefore less expensive, initial DTV facilities to be
constructed. Moreover, although the FCC has attempted to assign DTV channels and
power levels that will reasonably replicate each licensee's current coverage
area (and thus its audience reach levels), there is no assurance that such
replication will be fully achieved for any or all of the Univision television
stations. In addition, the FCC recently reaffirmed that cable television systems
are not obligated to retransmit both digital and analog television broadcast
signals during the period when television licensees must transmit in both modes,
and that in the post-transition period, cable television systems will not be
required to carry more than the primary video signal of each DTV station.
Moreover, DTV receivers have not been widely purchased by consumers, and issues
of cable compatibility, mandatory inclusion of DTV tuners in TV sets, control
over navigational devices, and copy protection (digital rights management) have
also delayed the deployment of DTV. In addition, uncertainty surrounds the
analog termination date. For all these reasons, it is unclear whether, or when,
audience levels for DTV broadcasts will equal current levels for analog
television broadcasting.

      Cable Carriage. Most U.S. residents view television broadcast signals by
means of cable television retransmissions of these signals. Cable television
systems must devote up to one-third of their available channels to the carriage
of local commercial television stations, and Univision has stated that its full
power television stations rely on these "must-carry" rights to obtain cable
carriage. Must-carry rights are not absolute, however, and the mere election of
"must-carry" status may not secure carriage in every circumstance. As noted
above, the FCC recently determined that cable systems will be required to carry
only a single digital program stream per broadcast station and will not be
compelled to carry both digital and analog channels.

      Direct Broadcast Satellite Carriage. The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement
Act of 1999, as amended by the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and
Reauthorization Act of 2004, contemplates mandatory carriage of all local
television stations by a direct broadcast satellite, or DBS, carrier in any
market in which that carrier chooses to provide one or more local signals
pursuant to the statutory copyright license and, by mid-2006, all such local
stations must be accessible by subscribers through a single receiving antenna.
Currently, two DBS carriers provide such local service in more than 90 of the
largest markets, including most Univision markets. Univision has stated that it
intends to obtain DBS carriage for each of its eligible stations.

      Proposed changes. Proposals for additional or revised regulations and
requirements are pending before Congress and federal regulatory agencies on an
ongoing basis. It cannot be predicted at this time whether new legislation,
court action or FCC regulations, or changes in the interpretation or enforcement
of current laws and regulations, will have an adverse impact on Univision's
operations.

      RADIO

      The regulations applicable to the operation of radio stations in Mexico
are identical in all material respects to those applicable to television
stations. As of December 31, 2004, the expiration dates of our radio concessions
ranged from 2008 to 2016. See " -- Television," " -- Radio -- Radio Stations"
and "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Our Business --
The Operation of Our Business May Be Terminated or Interrupted if the Mexican
Government Does Not Renew or Revokes Our Broadcast or Other Concessions;
Proposed Revisions to the Ley Federal de Radio y Television, or Radio and
Television Law, if Adopted, Could Adversely Impact Our Results of Operations."

      CABLE TELEVISION

      Concessions. Cable television operators now apply for a public
telecommunications network concession from the SCT in order to operate their
networks and provide cable television services and other multimedia
communications services. Applications are submitted to the SCT and, after a
formal review process, a public telecommunications network concession is granted
for an initial term of up to 30 years. Cablevision's previous cable television
concession expired in August 1999. On September 23, 1999, Cablevision obtained a
telecommunications concession from the SCT, which expires in 2029, and a
concession to transmit the over-the-air UHF restricted television channel 46,
which expires in 2010. Pursuant to its public telecommunications concession,
Cablevision can provide cable television, limited audio transmission services,
specifically music programming, bidirectional Internet access and unlimited data
transmission services in Mexico City and surrounding areas in the State of
Mexico. The scope of Cablevision's public telecommunications concession is much
broader than the scope of its former cable television concession, which covered
only cable television services and audio programming. A public
telecommunications concession may be renewed upon its expiration, or revoked or
terminated prior to its expiration in a variety of circumstances including:

            -     unauthorized interruption or termination of service;

            -     interference by the concessionaire with services provided by
                  other operators;

            -     noncompliance with the terms and conditions of the public
                  telecommunications concession;

            -     the concessionaire's refusal to interconnect with other
                  operators;

            -     loss of the concessionaire's Mexican nationality;

            -     unauthorized assignment, transfer or encumbrance, in whole or
                  in part, of the concession or any rights or assets;

            -     the liquidation or bankruptcy of the concessionaire; and

            -     ownership or control of the capital stock of the
                  concessionaire by a foreign government.

      In addition, the SCT may establish under any public telecommunications
concession further events which could result in revocation of the concession.
Under current Mexican laws and regulations, upon the expiration or termination
of a public telecommunications concession, the Mexican government has the right
to purchase those assets of the concessionaire that are directly related to the
concession, at market value.

      Cable television operators, including Cablevision, are subject to the
Telecommunications Law and, since February 2000, have been subject to the
Reglamento del Servicio de Television y Audio Restringidos, or Restricted
Television and Audio Services Regulations. Under current Mexican law, cable
television operators are classified as public telecommunications networks, and
must conduct their business in accordance with Mexican laws and regulations
applicable to public telecommunications networks which, in addition to the
Telecommunications Law and the Restricted Television and Audio Services
Regulations, includes the Federal Television and Radio Law and

                                     - 52 -



the Reglamento de la Ley Federal de Radio y Television y de la Industria
Cinematografica, or the Federal Television, Radio and Film Industry Regulations.

      Under the applicable Mexican law, the Mexican government, through the SCT,
may also temporarily seize or even expropriate all of a public
telecommunications concessionaire's assets in the event of a natural disaster,
war, significant public disturbance or threats to internal peace and for other
reasons related to preserving public order or for economic reasons. The Mexican
government is obligated by Mexican law to compensate the concessionaire, both
for the value of the assets seized and related profits.

      Supervision of Operations. The SCT regularly inspects the operations of
cable systems and cable television operators must file annual reports with the
SCT.

      Under Mexican law, programming broadcast on Cablevision networks is not
subject to judicial or administrative censorship. However, this programming is
subject to various regulations, including prohibitions on foul language,
programming which is against good manners and customs or programming which is
against the national safety or against public order.

      Mexican law also requires cable television operators, including
Cablevision, to broadcast programming that promotes Mexican culture, although
cable television operators are not required to broadcast a specified amount of
this type of programming.

      In addition to broadcasting programming that promotes Mexican culture,
cable television operators must also set aside a specified number of their
channels, which number is based on the total number of channels they transmit,
to transmit programming provided by the Mexican government. Cablevision
currently broadcasts programming provided by the Mexican government on three of
its channels, Channel 11, Channel 22 and Channel 5, a channel used by the
Mexican Congress.

      Restrictions on Advertising. Mexican law restricts the type of advertising
which may be broadcast on cable television. These restrictions are similar to
those applicable to advertising broadcast on over-the-air Channels 2, 4, 5 and
9. See " -- Regulation -- Television -- Mexican Television Regulations --
Restrictions on Advertising."

      Government Participation. Pursuant to the terms of cable concessions,
cable television operators, including Cablevision through September 23, 1999,
were required to pay, on a monthly basis, absent a waiver from the Mexican
government, up to 15% of revenues derived from subscriber revenues and
substantially all other revenues, including advertising revenues, to the Mexican
government in exchange for use of the cable concession. Most cable
concessionaires, including Cablevision, obtained a waiver on an annual basis to
pay 9% of their revenues as participation to the Mexican government, as opposed
to 15%. Under the Federal Telecommunications Law and accompanying regulations,
cable television operators with public telecommunications network concessions,
including Cablevision, no longer have to pay the Mexican government any
percentage of their revenues.

      Forfeiture of Assets. Under Mexican regulations, at the end of the term of
a public telecommunications concession, assets of concessionaires may be
purchased by the Mexican government at market value.

      NON-MEXICAN OWNERSHIP OF PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS

      Under current Mexican law, non-Mexicans may currently own up to 49% of the
outstanding voting stock of Mexican companies with a public telecommunications
concession. However, non-Mexicans may currently own up to all of the outstanding
voting stock of Mexican companies with a public telecommunications concession to
provide cellular telephone services, provided, that the requisite approvals are
obtained from the Comision Nacional de Inversiones Extranjeras, or the Foreign
Investment Commission.

                                     - 53 -



      APPLICATION OF EXISTING REGULATORY FRAMEWORK TO INTERNET ACCESS AND IP
TELEPHONY SERVICES

      When Cablevision begins offering IP telephony services, it may be
required, under Mexican law, to permit other concessionaires to connect their
network to its network in a manner that enables its customers to choose the
network by which the services are carried.

      To the extent that a cable television operator has any available capacity
on its network, as a public telecommunications network, Mexican law requires the
operator to offer third party providers access to its network. Cablevision
currently does not have any capacity available on its network to offer to third
party providers and does not expect that it will have capacity available in the
future given the broad range of services it plans to provide over its network.

      SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS

      Mexican Regulation of DTH Satellite Services. Concessions to broadcast DTH
satellite services are for an initial term of up to 30 years, and are renewable
for up to 30 years. We received a 30-year concession to operate DTH satellite
services in Mexico utilizing SatMex satellites on May 24, 1996. On November 27,
2000, we received an additional 20-year concession to operate our DTH satellite
service in Mexico using the PAS-9 satellite system, a foreign-owned satellite
system.

      Like a public telecommunications network concession, a DTH concession may
be revoked or terminated by the SCT prior to the end of its term in certain
circumstances, which for a DTH concession include:

            -     the failure to use the concession within 180 days after it was
                  granted;

            -     a declaration of bankruptcy of the concessionaire;

            -     failure to comply with the obligations or conditions specified
                  in the concession;

            -     unlawful assignments of, or encumbrances on, the concession;
                  or

            -     failure to pay to the government the required fees.

      At the termination of a concession, the Mexican government has the
preemptive right to acquire the assets of a DTH satellite service
concessionaire. In the event of a natural disaster, war, significant public
disturbance or for reasons of public need or interest, the Mexican government
may temporarily seize and expropriate all assets related to a concession, but
must compensate the concessionaire for such seizure. The Mexican government may
collect fees based on DTH satellite service revenues of a satellite
concessionaire.

      Under the Telecommunications Law, DTH satellite service concessionaires
may freely set customer fees but must notify the SCT of the amount, except that
if a concessionaire has substantial market power, the SCT may determine fees
that may be charged by such concessionaire. The Telecommunications Law
specifically prohibits cross-subsidies.

      Non-Mexican investors may currently own up to 49% of full voting equity of
DTH satellite system concessionaires; provided that Mexican investors maintain
control of the operation. Foreign investors may increase their economic
participation in the equity of a concessionaire through neutral investment
mechanisms such as the CPO trust.

      Regulation of DTH Satellite Services in Other Countries. Our current and
proposed DTH joint ventures in other countries are and will be governed by laws,
regulations and other restrictions of such countries, as well as treaties that
such countries have entered into, regulating the delivery of communications
signals to, or the uplink of signals from, such countries. In addition, the laws
of some other countries establish restrictions on our ownership interest in some
of these DTH joint ventures as well as restrictions on programming that may be
broadcast by these DTH joint ventures.

      MEXICAN ANTITRUST LAW

      Mexico's federal antitrust law, or Ley Federal de Competencia Economica,
and the accompanying regulations, the Reglamento de la Ley Federal de
Competencia Economica, may affect some of our activities, including our ability
to introduce new products and services, enter into new or complementary
businesses and complete acquisitions. In addition, the federal antitrust law and
the accompanying regulations may adversely affect our ability to determine the
rates we charge for our services and products. In addition, approval of the
Mexican Antitrust Commission is required for us to acquire and sell significant
businesses or enter into significant transactions, such as joint ventures. See 
"Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Mexico -- Mexican
Antitrust Laws May Limit Our Ability to Expand Through Acquisitions or Joint
Ventures."

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

      Broadcasting, Office and Production Facilities. Our properties consist
primarily of broadcasting, production facilities, television and reporter
stations, technical operations facilities, workshops, studios and office
facilities, most of which are located in Mexico. We own most of our properties
or lease offices and facilities through indirect wholly owned and majority owned
subsidiaries. There are no major encumbrances on any of our properties, and we
currently do not have any significant plans to construct any new properties or
expand or improve our existing properties. Our principal offices, which we own,
are located in Santa Fe, a suburb of Mexico City. Each of our television
stations has individual transmission facilities located in Mexico, substantially
all of which we own. Our television production operations are concentrated in
two locations in Mexico City, 14 studios in San Angel and 10 studios located in
Chapultepec. We own substantially all of these studios. The local television
stations wholly or majority owned by us have in the aggregate 35 production
studios. We own other properties used in connection with our operations,
including a training center, technical operations facilities, studios,
workshops, television and repeater stations, and office facilities. We
beneficially own Azteca Stadium, which seats approximately 105,000 people,
through a trust arrangement which was renewed in 1993 for a term of 30 years and
which may be extended for additional periods. In the aggregate, these
properties, excluding Azteca Stadium, currently represent approximately 4.7
million square feet of space, of which over 3.2 million square feet are located
in Mexico City and the surrounding areas, and approximately 1.4 million square
feet are located outside of Mexico City and the surrounding areas.

                                     - 56 -



      Our cable television, radio, publishing and Mexican DTH satellite service
businesses are located in Mexico City. We also own the transmission and
production equipment and facilities of our radio stations located outside Mexico
City.

      We also own or lease over a total of 481,349 square feet in properties in
the U.S., Latin America and Spain in connection with our operations there. We
own or lease all of these properties through indirect wholly owned and majority
owned subsidiaries. The following table summarizes our real estate and lease
agreements in the U.S., Latin America and Spain.

      Satellites. We currently use transponder capacity on four satellites:
Satmex V, which reaches Mexico, the U.S., Latin America, except Brazil, and the
Caribbean; PAS-3R, which reaches North America, Western Europe, Latin America
and the Caribbean; Solidaridad II, which reaches Mexico; and Galaxy IVR, which
reaches Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. According to published reports, Galaxy IVR
has experienced irreparable damage and its period of operation is expected to
last until approximately February 2007. A new replacement for the Galaxy IVR,
Galaxy 17, will be launched in the third quarter of 2006, initiating its
operations in the fourth quarter 2006. Sky, our DTH satellite joint venture in
Mexico, uses transponder capacity from PAS-9. PAS-9 provides coverage of Central
America, Mexico, the Southern U.S. and the Caribbean. The PAS-9 satellite is
currently functioning and its period of operation is expected to last 15 years.
We do not have a replacement plan for PAS-9. For a description of guarantees
related to our DTH joint venture transponder obligations, see Note 12 to our
year-end financial statements.

      On September 20, 1996, PanAmSat, our primary satellite service provider,
agreed to provide us transponder service on three to five PAS-3R Ku-band
transponders, at least three of which were intended to be for the delivery of
DTH satellite services to Spain. Under the PAS-3R transponder contract, as
amended, we were required to pay for five transponders at an annual fee for each
transponder of U.S.$3.1 million. We currently have available transponder
capacity on two 36 MHz C-band transponders on Galaxy IVR, which reaches Mexico,
the U.S. and Canada, due to an exchange with three of the five 54 MHz Ku-band
transponders on PAS-3R described above. For each of the 36 MHz C-band
transponders we pay an annual fee of approximately U.S.$3.7 million.

      PanAmSat and DIRECTV announced the completion of the sale of PanAmSat on
August 20, 2004, to affiliates of Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Co. L.P., The
Carlyle Group and Providence Equity Partners, Inc. To date, the sale has had no
material effect on our relationship with PanAmSat, although we cannot predict
our future relationship with PanAmSat.

      With several new domestic and international satellites having been
launched recently, and with several others scheduled for launch in the next few
years, including those scheduled for launch by PanAmSat, we believe that we will
be able to secure satellite capacity to meet our needs in the future, although
no assurances can be given in this regard.

      Insurance. We maintain comprehensive insurance coverage for our offices,
equipment and other property, subject to some limitations, that result from a
business interruption due to natural disasters or other similar events.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

      You should read the following discussion together with our year-end
financial statements and the accompanying notes, which appear elsewhere in this
annual report. This annual report contains forward-looking statements that
reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ
materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors
that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited
to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in
"Key Information -- Risk Factors." In addition to the other information in this
annual report, investors should consider carefully the following discussion and
the information set forth under "Key Information -- Risk Factors" before
evaluating us and our business.

                       PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      Our year-end financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
Mexican GAAP, which differ in some significant respects from U.S. GAAP. Note 26
to our year-end financial statements describes the principal differences between
Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to us through December 31, 2004. Note
26 to our year-end financial statements provides a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP
of net income and total stockholders' equity. Note 26 to our year-end financial
statements also presents all other disclosures required by U.S. GAAP, as well as
condensed financial statement data.

      data set forth in this annual report reflect sales from intersegment
      operations in all periods presented. See Note 25 to our year-end financial
      statements.

(2)   Percentages for 2002 have been reclassified to reflect the classification

      See footnote (2) to the tables set forth under the caption " -- Summary of
      Business Segment Results," " -- Discontinued Operations" and Note 22 to
      our year-end financial statements.

(3)   Effective April 1, 2004, we began consolidating Sky Mexico, according with
      the Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 46,
      "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46), which is
      applicable under Mexican GAAP Bulletin A-8, "Supplementary Application of
      International Accounting Standards."

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

      The following tables set forth the net sales and operating income (loss)
before depreciation and amortization of each of our business segments and
intersegment sales and corporate expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002,
2003 and 2004. Information regarding our business segments and unallocated
corporate expenses for 2002 was prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard No. 14, "Segment Reporting" (IAS 14), which was applicable
in that year to Mexican companies under Bulletin A-8. In 2003, we adopted the
provisions of Bulletin B-5, "Financial Information by Segments" issued by the
MIPA, which provisions are similar to those standards previously applied by us
under IAS 14. These standards require us to look to our internal organizational
structure and reporting system to identify our business segments. In accordance
with these standards, we currently classify our operations into nine business
segments: Television Broadcasting, Pay Television Networks, Programming Exports,
Publishing, Publishing Distribution, Sky Mexico, Cable Television, Radio and
Other Businesses. In 2004, we changed the names of two of our segments --
"Programming for Pay Television" to "Pay Television Networks" and "Programming
Licensing" to "Programming Exports" -- in order to make the descriptions more
accurate. See Note 25 to our year-end financial statements. Results attributable
to our music recording operations, which we sold to Univision in April 2002,
have been classified as discontinued operations. See " -- Discontinued
Operations" and Note 22 to our year-end financial statements. Our results for
2004 include Sky Mexico as a segment. Effective April 1, 2004, we adopted the
guidelines of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46) in accordance with
Mexican GAAP Bulletin A-8 "Supplementary Application of International Accounting
Standards." Before adopting FIN 46, we accounted for our investment in Sky

of our investment up to the amount of the guarantees made by us in connection
with certain capital lease obligations of Sky Mexico. See Note 1(g) to our

(1)   Certain segment data set forth in these tables may vary from certain data
      set forth in our year-end financial statements due to differences in
      rounding. The segment net sales and total segment net sales data set forth
      in this annual report reflect sales from intersegment operations in all
      periods presented. See Note 25 to our year-end financial statements.

(2)   Total segment net sales, total consolidated net sales, total segment
      operating income before depreciation and amortization and total
      consolidated operating income before depreciation and amortization do not
      reflect the results of operations of our Music Recording segment. We sold
      our music recording operations to Univision in April 2002. We no longer
      engage in the music recording business and under Mexican GAAP the results
      of our Music Recording segment have been classified as discontinued
      operations. See " -- Discontinued Operations" and Note 22 to our year-end
      financial statements.

(3)   Effective April 1, 2004, we began consolidating Sky Mexico, in accordance
      with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46
      "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46), which is
      applicable under Mexican GAAP Bulletin A-8, "Supplementary Application of
      International Accounting Standards."

(4)   The segment operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization,
      or OIBDA, and total segment operating income before depreciation and

            consolidated operating income before depreciation and amortization
            reflects corporate expenses in all periods presented. See Note 25 to
            our year-end financial statements.

SEASONALITY

      Our results of operations are seasonal. We typically recognize a
disproportionately large percentage of our overall advertising net sales in the
fourth quarter in connection with the holiday shopping season. For example, in
2002, 2003 and 2004, we recognized 29.5%, 29.8%, and 28.7%, respectively, of our
net sales in the fourth quarter of the year. Our costs, in contrast to our
revenues, are more evenly incurred throughout the year and generally do not
correlate to the amount of advertising sales.

           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
                  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003

TOTAL SEGMENT RESULTS

  NET SALES

      Our net sales increased by Ps.4,528.0 million, or 18.3%, to Ps.29,314.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.24,786.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003. This increase reflects the consolidation of Sky
Mexico into our financial statements beginning in April 2004, as well as higher
revenues in most of our businesses units. These increases were partially offset
by a decrease in the revenues of the Publishing Distribution segment due to the
change in the accounting treatment. See " -- Publishing Distribution" below for
a description of this change in accounting treatment.

  COST OF SALES

      Cost of sales increased by Ps.1,275.7 million, or 9.4%, to Ps.14,833.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.13,558.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003. This increase principally reflects the
consolidation of Sky Mexico beginning in April 2004, as well as increases in
costs of sales in our Television Broadcasting, Publishing, Cable Television,
Radio and Other Businesses segments. These increases were partially offset by
lower costs in the Publishing Distribution segment as a result of the change in
the accounting treatment and decreases in cost of sales in Pay Television
Networks and Programming Exports segments.

  SELLING EXPENSES

      Selling expenses increased by Ps.420.2 million, or 23.6%, to Ps.2,201.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.1,780.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003. This increase principally was due to the
consolidation of Sky Mexico, as well as higher selling expenses in our
Publishing, Cable Television and Radio segments and increases in promotional and
advertising expenses and personnel costs due to the restructuring of our sales
force. These increases were partially offset by lower selling expenses in our
Television Broadcasting, Pay Television Networks, Programming Exports,
Publishing Distribution and Other Businesses segments.

  ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      Administrative expenses increased by Ps.163.5 million, or 11.0%, to
Ps.1,646.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.1,483.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase reflects the consolidation
of Sky Mexico, as well as increases in administrative expenses in our Television
Broadcasting, Programming Exports, Publishing, Publishing Distribution and Cable
Television segments. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the
administrative expenses in our Pay Television Networks, Radio and Other
Businesses segments.

                                      -62-


  OPERATING INCOME BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

      Operating income before depreciation and amortization increased by
Ps.2,668.6 million, or 33.5%, to Ps.10,632.8 million for the year ended December
31, 2004 from Ps.7,964.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This
increase reflects the increase in our total net sales, partially offset by the
increases in cost of sales and operating expenses.

      Excluding the effect of the consolidation of Sky Mexico and the change in
accounting treatment of the Publishing Distribution segment on our operating
results for the year ended December 31, 2004, our net sales would have increased
by approximately 5.8% and our operating income before depreciation and
amortization would have increased by approximately 11.6%.

  TELEVISION BROADCASTING

      Television Broadcasting net sales are derived primarily from the sale of
advertising time on our national television networks, Channels 2, 4, 5 and 9,
and local stations, including our English language station on the Mexico/U.S.
border. The contribution of local stations net sales to Television Broadcasting
net sales was 13.7% in 2004, 13.2% in 2003 and 12.5% in 2002. No Television
Broadcasting advertiser accounted for more than 10% of Television Broadcasting
advertising sales in any of these periods.

  ADVERTISING RATES AND SALES

      We sell commercial time in three ways: advanced payment, upfront and
scatter basis. Advertisers that elect the advanced payment or upfront options
lock in prices for the upcoming year or quarter, regardless of future price
changes. Advertisers that choose the advanced payment option make annual
prepayments, with cash or short-term notes, and are charged the lowest rates for
their commercial time, given the highest priority in schedule placement, and
given a first option in advertising during special programs. Upfront advertisers
make commitments for a year or a quarter, without making advance payments, and
have second priority in scheduling commercial time during regular and special
programs. Scatter advertisers, or advertisers who choose not to make advance or
upfront payments but rather advertise from time to time, risk both higher prices
and lack of access to choice commercial time slots. We offer guarantees to
advanced payment and upfront advertisers based on the growth of their annual
commitment. The largest portion of our sales force incentive compensation ties
bonuses to total year-end results.

      The Mexican government does not restrict our ability to set our
advertising rates. In setting advertising rates and terms, we consider, among
other factors, the likely effect of rate increases on the volume of advertising
sales. We have historically been flexible in setting rates and terms for our
television advertising. Nominal rate increases have traditionally been much
higher in prime time and weekday prime time hours as a result of high demand for
advertising during these hours. During 2002, 2003, 2004 and the three months
ended March 31, 2005, we increased our nominal advertising rates on a quarterly
basis, and we intend to continue to increase our nominal advertising rates on a
quarterly basis throughout 2005. During prime time broadcasts, we sold an
aggregate of 1,587 hours of advertising time in 2004, 1,660 hours of advertising
time in 2003, and 1,336 hours of advertising time in 2002. During sign-on to
sign-off hours, we sold 3,357 hours of advertising time in 2004, 3,491 hours of
advertising time in 2003, and 2,555 hours of advertising time in 2002.
Television Broadcasting advertising time that is not sold to the public is
primarily used to satisfy our legal requirement to make broadcast time available
to the Mexican government and to promote our programs, services and products and
entities in which we have made investments.

  Net Sales

      Television Broadcasting net sales increased by Ps.916.3 million, or 5.7%,
to Ps.17,102.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.16,185.7
million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase is mainly
attributable to the broadcast of the Olympic Games and other major sporting
events and an increase of 9.8% in local sales driven mainly by Channel 4TV.
Excluding the non-recurring revenues related to the political advertising
campaigns in 2003, Television Broadcasting net sales would have increased 10.4%.

                                      -63-


  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Television Broadcasting operating income before depreciation and
amortization increased by Ps.880.5 million, or 12.8%, to Ps.7,760.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.6,879.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to the increase in net sales
and a marginal decrease in operating expenses. Cost of sales had a marginal
increase in 2004 as compared to 2003 as a result of the incurrence of
non-recurring costs related to sporting events, including charges related to
transmission rights for the Olympic Games.

  PAY TELEVISION NETWORKS

      Pay Television Networks net sales are derived primarily from revenues
received in exchange for providing programming to pay television providers
servicing the U.S., Europe and Latin America, including other cable systems in
Mexico and the DTH satellite joint ventures in which we have interests. Revenues
from advertising time sold with respect to programs provided to cable systems in
Mexico are also reflected in this segment. Pay Television Networks sell
advertising independently from our other media-related segments on a scatter
basis.

  Net Sales

      Pay Television Networks net sales increased by Ps.64.8 million, or 8.8%,
to Ps.800.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.736.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to higher
advertising revenues and revenues from programs sold to pay television providers
in Mexico, as well as higher revenues from programs sold to pay television
providers in Latin America. These increases were partially offset by lower
revenues from programs sold to pay television providers in Spain.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Pay Television Networks operating income before depreciation and
amortization increased by Ps.136.2 million, or 83.9%, to Ps.298.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2004, from Ps.162.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to higher sales, a decrease
in cost of sales due to lower signal and programming costs and lower operating
expenses. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in
commissions and the provision for doubtful trade accounts.

  PROGRAMMING EXPORTS

      Programming Exports net sales consist primarily of revenues from program
license agreements and principally relate to our telenovelas, our variety
programs and programming produced by third parties. Approximately 63.5% in 2004,
65.6% in 2003 and 55.3% in 2002 of net sales for this segment were attributable
to programming licensed under our program license agreement with Univision. In
2004, 2003 and 2002, we received U.S.$105.0 million, U.S.$96.1 million, and
U.S.$77.7 million, respectively, in program royalties from Univision, related to
the Univision and Galavision networks. In 2003, we gained the right to receive
from Univision an additional 12% in royalties from the net time sales of the
TeleFutura network, subject to certain adjustments. See "Information on the
Company -- Business Overview -- Univision." We also license programming to
broadcasters in Latin America, the Middle East, Russia and other countries.

  Net Sales

      Programming Exports net sales increased by Ps.202.5 million, or 11.8%, to
Ps.1,917.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.1,714.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to higher
royalties paid to us under our program license agreement with Univision, as well
as an increase in export sales to Latin America. We received U.S.$105.0 million
in royalties from Univision for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to
U.S.$96.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in
Programming Export net sales was partially offset by lower export sales to
Europe, Asia and Africa.

                                      -64-


  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Programming Exports operating income before depreciation and amortization
increased by Ps.207.8 million, or 39.7%, to Ps.731.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 from Ps.523.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
This increase was primarily due to the increase in net sales, as well as a
marginal decrease in cost of sales and operating expenses due to lower provision
for doubtful trade accounts. The impact of these changes was partially offset by
an increase in commissions, personnel costs and costs related to consulting
services.

  PUBLISHING

      Publishing net sales are primarily derived from the sale of advertising
pages in our various magazines, as well as magazine sales to distributors. Our
Publishing segment sells advertising independently from our other media-related
segments. Advertising rates are based on the publication and the assigned space
of the advertisement.

  Net Sales

      Publishing net sales increased by Ps.212.8 million, or 11.3%, to
Ps.2,093.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.1,880.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in advertising pages sold in Mexico and abroad and an increase in
magazines sold abroad. These increases in revenue were partially offset by a
negative translation effect on foreign-currency denominated sales.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Publishing operating income before depreciation and amortization increased
by Ps.60.6 million, or 16.6%, to Ps.424.7 million for the year ended December
31, 2004 from Ps.364.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This
increase primarily reflects the increase in net sales and was partially offset
by increases (i) in cost of sales due to the increase in costs of supplies and
(ii) operating expenses attributable to higher personnel and distribution
services costs resulting from an increase in subscriptions to our magazines.

  PUBLISHING DISTRIBUTION

      Publishing Distribution net sales are primarily derived from the
distribution of magazines published by us, our joint ventures or independent
publishers and pursuant to licenses and other arrangements with third parties.
Of the total volume of magazines we distributed, approximately 65.4% in 2004,
63.7% in 2003 and 64.2% in 2002 were published by our Publishing segment.

      In the past, the agreements with our publishers provided that we did not
bear any risk on inventory transferred to our publishers. Due to certain
amendments to the terms and conditions under such agreements affecting the risk
of loss provisions, in October 2004, we changed the accounting treatment of our
Publishing Distribution segment's sales and cost of goods sold. As a result of
this change, we now recognize the difference between sales and cost of sales in
the Publishing Distribution segment as net sales. This accounting change does
not have any impact on operating results before depreciation and amortization.

  Net Sales

      Publishing Distribution net sales decreased by Ps.294.4 million, or 15.8%,
to Ps.1,574.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.1,868.4
million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was primarily
attributable to the change in the accounting treatment of sales described above,
which reduced net sales by Ps.510.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2004, as
well as a decrease in the distribution of magazines published by third parties
and sold in Mexico and a negative translation effect on foreign-currency
denominated sales. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales of
magazines published by our Publishing segment and higher sales of magazines
published by third parties and sold abroad.

                                      -65-


      On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the accounting change described
above for 2003 and 2004, Publishing Distribution net sales increased by Ps.13.1
million, or 3.7%, to Ps.368.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from
Ps.355.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

  Operating Result before Depreciation and Amortization

      Publishing Distribution operating income before depreciation and
amortization decreased by Ps.34.5 million, to a loss of Ps.25.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 from income of Ps.9.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This decrease primarily reflects the decrease in net sales
and higher operating expenses related to the distribution of magazines. The
impact of these changes was partially offset by a decrease in cost of sales
associated with the decrease in volume of magazines sold.

  SKY MEXICO

      Effective April 1, 2004, we began consolidating Sky Mexico into our
financial statements due to our adoption of the guidelines of the Financial
Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities" (FIN 46) in accordance with Mexican GAAP Bulletin A-8,
"Supplementary Application of International Accounting Standards."

  Net Sales

      On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the consolidation of Sky Mexico as
if it occurred on January 1, 2003, Sky Mexico net sales increased by Ps.749.9
million, or 18.7%, to Ps.4,769.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004
from Ps.4,019.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was
primarily due to a 17.0% increase in its subscriber base, which as of December
31, 2004 reached 1,002,500 gross active subscribers (including 60,700 commercial
subscribers) compared to 856,600 gross active subscribers (including 48,500
commercial subscribers) as of December 31, 2003.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Sky Mexico operating income before depreciation and amortization increased
by Ps.486.0 million, or 38.8%, to Ps.1,739.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2004 from Ps.1,253.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This
increase was due to the increase in net sales, partially offset by (i) higher
programming and activations costs and (ii) an increase in operating expenses due
to more free special events offered to subscribers, higher commissions and
promotion expenses and higher call center costs.

  CABLE TELEVISION

      Cable Television net sales are derived from Cable Television services and
advertising sales. Net sales for Cable Television services generally consist of
monthly subscription fees for basic and premium service packages, fees charged
for pay-per-view programming and, to a significantly lesser extent, monthly
rental and one-time installation fees. Net sales for Cable Television
advertising consist of revenues from the sale of local and national advertising
on Cablevision. Our Cable Television segment sells advertising independently
from our other media-related segments on a scatter basis. Rates are based on the
day and time the advertising is aired, as well the type of programming in which
the advertising is aired. Cable subscription and advertising rates are adjusted
periodically in response to inflation and in accordance with market conditions.

      Cable Television net sales increased by Ps.90.2 million, or 8.7%, to
Ps.1,127.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.1,037.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase is attributable to the
elimination of the excise tax on telecommunication services, as well as higher
revenues from advertising, broadband services and subscription fees. The impact
of these changes was partially offset by a 2.6% decrease in the

                                      -66-


subscriber base during 2004 to 355,000, of which more than 123,000 were digital
subscribers at December 31, 2004, from a subscriber base of 364,400, of which
approximately 60,300 were digital subscribers, at December 31, 2003.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Cable Television operating income before depreciation and amortization
increased by Ps.39.5 million, or 12.5%, to Ps.356.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 from Ps.317.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
This increase primarily reflects the increase in net sales, partially offset by
an increase in (i) call center and personnel costs and (ii) advertising
expenses.

  RADIO

      Radio net sales consist of advertising sold on our radio stations. Our
Radio segment sells advertising independently from our other media-related
segments on a scatter basis. Rates are based on the day and time the advertising
is aired, as well as the type of programming in which the advertising is aired.

  Net Sales

      Radio net sales increased by Ps.33.6 million, or 12.8%, to Ps.295.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.262.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003. This increase primarily reflects an increase in
advertising time sold especially in newscasts and sporting events programs.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Radio operating income before depreciation and amortization increased by
Ps.8.0 million, or 33.8%, to Ps.31.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2004 from Ps.23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase
was primarily due to the increase in net sales, partially offset by increases in
(i) cost of sales related to the transmission of soccer games and programming
costs, (ii) operating expenses due to higher commissions paid and (iii) the
provision for doubtful trade accounts.

  OTHER BUSINESSES

      Other Businesses net sales are primarily derived from the promotion of
sports and special events in Mexico, subscriber fees for nationwide paging
services until October 2004, the distribution of feature films, revenues from
dubbing services until November 2003, and revenues from our internet businesses,
which includes revenues from advertisers for advertising space on EsMas.com, and
revenues related to our SMS messaging service. In the fourth quarter of 2004 we
reached an agreement to sell our nationwide paging business and we completed
sale in the first quarter of 2005.

  Net Sales

      Other Businesses net sales increased by Ps.65.6 million, or 4.6%, to
Ps.1,497.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.1,431.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to higher
revenues from our feature films distribution and internet businesses. These
increases in revenues were partially offset by lower revenues related to our
sport events production, nationwide paging and dubbing businesses.

  Operating Loss before Depreciation and Amortization

    Other Businesses operating loss before depreciation and amortization
decreased by Ps.30.9 million, or 19.5%, to Ps.127.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 from Ps.158.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
This decrease reflects the increase in net sales and a decrease in operating
expenses in our internet, nationwide paging and dubbing businesses. The impact
of these changes was partially offset by an increase in cost of sales in the
feature films distribution and sports events production businesses.

                                      -67-


DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

      Depreciation and amortization expense increased by Ps.470.6 million, or
29.3%, to Ps.2,075.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from
Ps.1,604.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase primarily
reflects the depreciation expense of Sky Mexico and increases in the
depreciation and amortization expenses related to our Television Broadcasting
and Cable Television segments. The impact of these changes was partially offset
by a decrease in amortization of deferred costs of EsMas.com.

NON OPERATING RESULTS

INTEGRAL COST OF FINANCING

      Integral cost of financing significantly impacts our financial statements
in periods of high inflation or currency fluctuations. Under Mexican GAAP,
integral cost of financing reflects:

      -     interest income;

      -     interest expense, including the restatement of our UDI-denominated
            notes, as described under " -- Liquidity, Foreign Exchange and
            Capital Resources -- Indebtedness" and " -- Liquidity, Foreign
            Exchange and Capital Resources -- Interest Expense";

      -     foreign exchange gain or loss attributable to monetary assets and
            liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (including gains or
            losses from derivative instruments); and

      -     gain or loss attributable to holding monetary assets and liabilities
            exposed to inflation.

      Our foreign exchange position is affected by our assets or liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies.

      We record a foreign exchange gain or loss if the exchange rate of the Peso
to the other currencies in which our monetary assets or liabilities are
denominated rises or falls.

      The expenses attributable to integral cost of financing increased by
Ps.869.8 million, or 134.6%, to Ps.1,516.2 million for the year ended December
31, 2004 from Ps.646.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This
increase reflected:

      -     a Ps.648.2 million increase in interest expense, primarily as a
            result of an increase in the average amount of debt, resulting from
            the consolidation of Sky Mexico's debt beginning in the second
            quarter of 2004;

      -     a Ps.295.5 million loss resulting from a net foreign exchange loss
            in 2004 compared to a net foreign exchange gain in 2003, primarily
            in connection with a negative hedge effect in 2004 that arose from a
            0.68% appreciation of the Mexican Peso against the U.S. Dollar
            during 2004. This compares to a favorable hedge effect in 2003,
            resulting from a 7.27% depreciation of the Mexican Peso against the
            U.S. Dollar during the year ended December 31, 2003; and

      -     a Ps.27.1 million decrease in interest income, reflecting Sky
            Mexico's capitalization in September 2003 of all amounts due to us
            in connection with certain financing provided for this joint
            venture, which was partially offset by an increase in interest
            income in connection with a higher average amount of temporary
            investments during 2004.

      These unfavorable variances were offset by a favorable Ps.101.0 million
change resulting from a gain from monetary position compared to a loss from
monetary position, primarily as a result of a higher net liability monetary
position, as well as a higher inflation rate in 2004 (5.19%) compared with 2003
(3.98%).

                                      -68-


RESTRUCTURING AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES

      Restructuring and non-recurring charges decreased by Ps.296.2 million, or
42.8%, to Ps.395.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to
Ps.691.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease primarily
reflects certain non-recurring charges recognized by us in 2003 in connection
with (i) the payment of salary benefits to union employees, (ii) a loss on the
disposal of long-lived assets and associated costs related to the sale of our
nationwide paging business and (iii) a reduction in restructuring charges in
connection with work force reductions. Additionally, we recognized non-recurring
charges in the third quarter of 2004 resulting from impairment adjustments made
to the carrying value in our Publishing Distribution business.

      We have taken various steps to reduce our costs and expenses, including
reducing the number of our full- and part-time employees. On a historical basis,
on December 31, 2004 our total employee headcount was approximately 12,300,
compared to approximately 12,300 at December 31, 2003 and approximately 12,600
at December 31, 2002. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the consolidation
of Innova, our total employee headcount would have been approximately 14,100 at
December 31, 2004, approximately 14,200 at December 31, 2003 and approximately
14,400 at December 31, 2002. Other steps we have taken to reduce our costs and
expenses include: consolidating our offices and facilities and shutting down or
selling non-essential operations; relocating some of our U.S. magazine
operations to Mexico to reduce printing costs; downsizing non-essential
post-production studios; eliminating some of our underperforming programming;
reducing real estate rental, promotional and employee travel expenses,
charitable donations and amenities; and reducing overtime payments.

      We intend to continue to implement these cost-cutting initiatives
throughout 2005, as well as introduce new initiatives, such as a
performance-based compensation policy for executives (see "Directors, Senior
Management and Employees -- Stock Purchase Plan" and "Directors, Senior
Management and Employees -- Long Term Retention Plan"), and increasing employee
awareness of our cost containment programs.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

      Other expense, net decreased by Ps.56.5 million, or 9.9%, to Ps.515.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to Ps.571.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease primarily reflects: a reduction
in the amortization of goodwill as we ceased amortizing this intangible asset
beginning January 1, 2004 with the adoption of Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-7 related
to business acquisitions, as well as a reduction in the loss on disposition of
fixed assets. These decreases were partially offset by a loss on disposition of
our 30% interest in a television programming production company in Spain in the
second quarter of 2004 compared to a gain on disposition of our remaining
minority interest in a DTH venture in Spain during the third quarter of 2003.

INCOME TAX, ASSETS TAX AND EMPLOYEES' PROFIT SHARING

      Income tax increased by Ps.419.5 million, or 55.4%, to Ps.1,176.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ps.756.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase primarily reflects a higher income tax base in
2004. Our effective income tax rate was 19% for the year ended December 31, 2004
as compared to 17% for the year ended December 31, 2003.

      We are authorized by the Mexican tax authorities to compute our income tax
and assets tax on a consolidated basis. Mexican controlling companies are
allowed to consolidate, for income tax purposes, income or losses of their
Mexican subsidiaries up to 60% of their share ownership in such subsidiaries for
periods ended on or before December 31, 2004. Effective January 1, 2005, such
percentage increased to 100%.

      We and our subsidiaries are also subject to an assets tax, at a tax rate
of 1.8% on the adjusted book value of some of our assets. In some cases, income
tax paid in excess of asset tax can be individually credited against any assets
tax payable by us and our subsidiaries. The assets tax is computed on a fully
consolidated basis.

                                      -69-


      The Mexican corporate income tax rate in 2002, 2003 and 2004 was 35%, 34%
and 33%, respectively. In accordance with the current Mexican Income Tax Law,
the corporate income tax rate in 2005 will be 30%, and will be reduced annually
by 1% until it reaches 28% in 2007. Consequently, the effect of this gradual
decrease in the income tax rate reduced our deferred income tax liability in
2002, 2003 and 2004.

EQUITY IN RESULTS OF AFFILIATES

      This line item reflects our equity participation in the operating results
and net assets of unconsolidated businesses in which we maintain an interest,
but over which we have no control. We recognize equity in losses of affiliates
up to the amount of our initial investment and subsequent capital contributions,
or beyond that amount when guaranteed commitments have been made by us in
respect of obligations incurred by affiliates.

      Equity in income of affiliates increased by Ps.585.2 million to equity in
income of affiliates of Ps.615.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004
compared to Ps.29.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase
primarily reflects:

      -     the reversal of previous reserves due to our release from our PAS 6B
            satellite transponder guarantee in connection with Sky Multi-Country
            Partners;

      -     the absence of equity loss of Sky Mexico of approximately Ps.208.5
            million;

      -     a reduction in our equity loss of DTH TechCo Partners of Ps.115.9
            million in 2004; and

      -     an increase in our equity income relating to our investment in
            Univision.

MINORITY INTEREST

      Minority interest reflects that portion of operating results attributable
to the interests held by third parties in the businesses which are not
wholly-owned by us, including our Sky Mexico (since April 2004), Cable
Television, Radio (since 2001) and nationwide paging (until the fourth quarter
2004) businesses.

      Minority interest increased by Ps.359.1 million to a charge of Ps.231.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from a benefit of Ps.127.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase primarily reflects the
portion of net income attributable to the interest held by third parties in the
Sky Mexico business beginning the second quarter of 2004.

NET INCOME

      We generated net income in the amount of Ps.4,316.7 million in 2004, as
compared to net income of Ps.3,783.3 million in 2003. The net increase of
Ps.533.4 million reflected:

      -     a Ps.2,198.0 million increase in operating income;

      -     a Ps.296.2 million decrease in restructuring and non-recurring
            charges;

      -     a Ps.56.5 million decrease in other expense-net;

      -     a Ps.585.2 million increase in equity in earnings from affiliates;
            and

      -     a Ps.67.5 million decrease in loss from discontinued operations.

      This change was partially offset by a Ps.869.8 million increase in
integral cost of financing, a Ps.419.5 million increase in income taxes, a
Ps.1,021.6 million increase in cumulative loss effect of accounting change, and
an increase of Ps.359.1 million in minority interest.

                                      -70-


CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND INVESTMENTS

      In the year ended December 31, 2004, we:

      -     invested approximately U.S.$174.6 million in property, plant and
            equipment as capital expenditures, of which approximately U.S.$35.1
            million and U.S.$57.6 million were related to our Cable Television
            and Sky Mexico segments, respectively;

      -     we invested approximately U.S.$12.5 million in long term loans made
            to our Latin American DTH joint ventures; and

      -     we contributed Ps.69.9 million (nominal) to fund our seniority
            premium obligations.

INDEBTEDNESS

      As of December 31, 2004, our consolidated long-term portion of debt
amounted to Ps.18,943.8 million, including Ps.4,356.7 million from Sky Mexico,
of which Ps.3,840.6 million is not guaranteed by the Company, and our
consolidated current portion of debt was Ps.3,297.1 million, including Ps.981.0
million from Sky Mexico, which is not guaranteed by the Company. Additionally,
as of December 31, 2004, Sky Mexico had long-term and current portions of a
capital lease obligation totaling Ps.1,324.6 million and Ps.70.7 million,
respectively. As of December 31, 2003, our consolidated long-term portion of
debt amounted to Ps.15,467.5 million, and our consolidated current portion of
debt was Ps.300.0 million.

           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003
                  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

TOTAL SEGMENT RESULTS

  NET SALES

      Our net sales increased by Ps.1,206.1 million, or 5.1%, to Ps.24,786.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.23,580.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002. This increase reflects higher revenues in our
Television Broadcasting, Programming Exports, Pay Television Networks,
Publishing, Publishing Distribution and Radio segments and was partially offset
by lower net sales in our Cable Television and Other Businesses segments.

  COST OF SALES

      Cost of sales decreased by Ps.24.0 million, or 0.2%, to Ps.13,558.1
million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.13,582.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002. This decrease reflects lower costs in our
Television Broadcasting, Programming Exports, Publishing, Cable Television,
Radio and Other Businesses segments. These decreases were partially offset by
higher costs in our Publishing Distribution and Pay Television Networks
segments.

  SELLING EXPENSES

      Selling expenses decreased by Ps.62.8 million, or 3.4%, to Ps.1,780.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.1,843.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002. This decrease reflects lower selling expenses in
our Pay Television Networks, Programming Exports, Cable Television and Other
Businesses segments. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the
selling expenses of our Television Broadcasting, Publishing, Publishing
Distribution and Radio segments.

                                      -71-


  ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      Administrative expenses increased by Ps.0.5 million, to Ps.1,483.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.1,482.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002. This marginal increase was primarily due to an increase in
our Television Broadcasting, Pay Television Networks and Publishing Distribution
segments and was partially offset by a decrease in the administrative expenses
of our Programming Exports, Publishing, Cable Television, Radio and Other
Businesses segments primarily by lower personnel costs as a result of workforce
reductions and layoffs, as well as reductions in other office facilities
expenses, in connection with our continued cost-cutting efforts.

  OPERATING INCOME BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

      For the foregoing reasons, our operating income before depreciation and
amortization increased by Ps.1,292.4 million, or 19.4%, to Ps.7,964.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.6,671.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002.

  TELEVISION BROADCASTING

  Net Sales

      Television Broadcasting net sales increased by Ps.831.5 million, or 5.4%,
to Ps.16,185.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.15,354.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase is principally due
to four factors: (i) the political advertising campaigns for the mid-term
elections in Mexico during 2003; (ii) an increase of 11.5% in local sales,
driven mainly by Channel 4TV; (iii) an increase in advertising time sold to
existing clients; and (iv) the success of reality shows, primarily Big Brother.
Excluding non-recurring revenues related to the political advertising campaigns
in 2003 and the transmission of the Soccer World Cup in 2002, Television
Broadcasting net sales would have increased by Ps.527.0 million, or 3.5% to
Ps.15,483.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.14,956.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Television Broadcasting operating income before depreciation and
amortization increased by Ps.883.4 million, or 14.7%, to Ps.6,879.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.5,996.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to the increase in net sales
and a decrease in cost of sales due to the transmission rights of the Soccer
World Cup in 2002; partially offset by an increase in selling expenses due to
higher commissions and promotional expenses. Excluding the results of the
political advertising campaigns in 2003 and the transmission of the Soccer World
Cup in 2002, Television Broadcasting operating income before depreciation and
amortization would have increased by Ps.387.4 million, or 6.7%, to Ps.6,177.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.5,790.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002.

  PAY TELEVISION NETWORKS

  Net Sales

      Pay Television Networks net sales increased by Ps.71.0 million, or 10.7%,
to Ps.736.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.665.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in the number of pay television subscribers which resulted in higher
revenues from programming sold, and higher advertising sales in Mexico,
partially offset by lower revenues from programming sold to pay television
systems in Latin America (other than Mexico) and Spain.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Pay Television Networks operating income before depreciation and
amortization increased by Ps.49.3 million, or 43.7%, to Ps.162.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003, from Ps.113.0 million for the year ended

                                      -72-


December 31, 2002, primarily due to higher sales and lower operating expenses
primarily due to lower commissions paid as a result of our new commission
program. This increase was partially offset by higher costs of programming sold
to third parties.

  PROGRAMMING EXPORTS

  Net Sales

      Programming Exports net sales increased by Ps.177.9 million, or 11.6%, to
Ps.1,714.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.1,536.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to higher
royalties paid to us under the Program License Agreement entered into with
Univision, as well as an increase by the translation effect on foreign-currency
denominated sales. We received U.S.$96.1 million in royalties from Univision for
the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to U.S.$77.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2002. These increases were partially offset by lower export
sales mainly to Latin America and Europe.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Programming Exports operating income before depreciation and amortization
increased by Ps.273.0 million, or 108.8%, to Ps.523.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 from Ps.250.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
This increase was primarily due to the increase in net sales, as well as a
decrease in cost of sales and operating expenses due to lower provision for
doubtful trade accounts.

  PUBLISHING

  Net Sales

      Publishing net sales increased by Ps.39.7 million, or 2.2%, to Ps.1,880.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.1,840.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
the revenues of magazines sold in Mexico due to an increase in average price, as
well as an increase in the number of advertising pages sold in Mexico and
abroad, and the positive translation effect on foreign-currency denominated
sales. These increases were partially offset by lower circulation of magazines
sold abroad.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Publishing operating income before depreciation and amortization increased
by Ps.67.6 million, or 22.8%, to Ps.364.1 million for the year ended December
31, 2003 from Ps.296.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This
increase primarily reflects the increase in net sales and a decrease in cost of
sales, primarily due to reduced magazine returns in Mexico and a reduction in
print runs of magazines in Mexico and abroad. This increase was partially offset
by a marginal increase in operating expenses.

  PUBLISHING DISTRIBUTION

  Net Sales

      Publishing Distribution net sales increased by Ps.398.7 million, or 27.1%,
to Ps.1,868.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.1,469.7
million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was attributable to
an increase in distribution sales abroad, primarily due to revenues from
operations in Chile which were acquired in May 2002; the translation effect on
foreign-currency denominated sales; and the increase in distribution of
magazines published by us and sold in Mexico. These increases were partially
offset by lower sales of magazines published by third parties and sold in
Mexico. Including the sales from the company acquired in Chile, from January to
April 2002 on a pro forma basis as if we had acquired this business on January
1, 2002, Publishing Distribution net sales would have increased 8.5%.

                                      -73-


  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Publishing Distribution operating income before depreciation and
amortization decreased by Ps.7.2 million, or 44.5%, to Ps.9.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.16.3 million for the year ended December
31, 2002. This decrease primarily reflects higher cost of sales and operating
expenses associated to the distribution company acquired in Chile and an
increase in provision for doubtful trade accounts, partially offset by the
increase in net sales. Including the operations in Chile, from January to April
2002, the Publishing Distribution operating income before depreciation and
amortization would have decreased by Ps.13.9 million, or 60.6%, to Ps.9.1
million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.23.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2002.

      Cable Television net sales decreased by Ps.174.4 million, or 14.4%, to
Ps.1,037.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.1,212.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 2002. This decrease is attributable to the
decrease in the subscriber base during 2003, to more than 364,400, of which more
than 60,300 were digital subscribers, at December 31, 2003, from a subscriber
base of approximately 412,400, of which approximately 65,000 were digital
subscribers, at December 31, 2002, as well as a decrease in advertising sales.
Cablevision began a process of gradually digitalizing its services last November
2003; the project is being implemented in stages over a period of up to two
years.

  Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

      Cable Television operating income before depreciation and amortization
decreased by Ps.37.7 million, or 10.6%, to Ps.317.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 from Ps.354.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
This decrease primarily reflects the decrease in net sales and was partially
offset by a decrease in cost of sales and operating expenses.

  RADIO

  Net Sales

      Radio net sales increased by Ps.57.6 million, or 28.2%, to Ps.262.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.204.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 2002. This increase primarily reflects an increase in
advertising time sold, principally in newscasts and sporting events programs.

  Operating Result before Depreciation and Amortization

      Radio operating result before depreciation and amortization increased by
Ps.55.8 million, or 173.8%, to a gain of Ps.23.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 from a loss of Ps.32.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2002. This improvement was primarily due to the increase in net sales and lower
cost of sales, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

  OTHER BUSINESSES

  Net Sales

      Other Businesses net sales decreased by Ps.262.1 million, or 15.5%, to
Ps.1,431.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.1,694.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to lower
sales attributable to our nationwide paging, feature film distribution, dubbing
until November 2003, and live entertainment businesses. This decrease was
partially offset by higher sales related to sport events production and internet
businesses.

                                      -74-


  Operating Loss before Depreciation and Amortization

      Other Businesses operating loss before depreciation and amortization
decreased by Ps.8.4 million, or 5.0%, to Ps.158.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 from Ps.167.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
This decrease reflects the decrease in cost of sales and operating expenses
primarily related to our nationwide paging and live entertainment businesses,
partially offset by lower net sales.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

      Depreciation and amortization expense increased by Ps.18.8 million, or
1.2%, to Ps.1,604.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.1,585.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This change primarily reflects
increases in the depreciation and amortization expenses related to our internet
business and to our Cable Television and Publishing Distribution segments.

INTEGRAL COST OF FINANCING

      Integral cost of financing significantly impacts our financial statements
in periods of high inflation or currency fluctuations. Under Mexican GAAP,
integral cost of financing reflects:

      -     interest income;

      -     interest expense, including the restatement of our UDI-denominated
            notes, as described under " -- Liquidity, Foreign Exchange and
            Capital Resources -- Indebtedness" and " -- Liquidity, Foreign
            Exchange and Capital Resources -- Interest Expense";

      -     foreign exchange gain or loss attributable to monetary assets and
            liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (including gains or
            losses from derivative instruments); and

      -     gain or loss attributable to holding monetary assets and liabilities
            exposed to inflation.

      Our foreign exchange position is affected by our assets or liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies. We record a foreign exchange gain or loss if
the exchange rate of the Peso to the other currencies in which our monetary
assets or liabilities are denominated rises or falls.

      The expense attributable to integral cost of financing decreased by
Ps.24.0 million, or 3.6%, to Ps.646.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2003 from Ps.670.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This decrease
reflects:

      -     a Ps.349.2 million decrease in net foreign exchange loss, primarily
            due to the 7.3% depreciation of the Mexican peso as compared to the
            U.S. dollar during the year ended December 31, 2003 versus a 14.0%
            depreciation of the Mexican peso as compared to the U.S. dollar
            during the year ended December 31, 2002;

      -     a Ps.38.7 million increase in interest income, primarily as a result
            of a higher average amount of temporary investments maintained
            during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year
            ended December 31, 2002, which was partially offset by a reduction
            of interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2003 as
            compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, and a decrease in
            interest income from Innova for the year ended December 31, 2003 as
            compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, as a result of
            Innova's capitalization in September 2003 of Ps.2.7 billion,
            comprising all of the amounts due then to us by Innova in connection
            with long-term loans provided by us;

      -     a Ps.52.5 million decrease in interest expense, primarily related to
            our UDI-denominated debt, due to lower inflation during the year
            ended December 31, 2003 (3.98%) as compared to the year ended
            December 31, 2002 (5.70%), as well as an increase in the net gain on
            interest rate swap contracts outstanding in the year ended December
            31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002;

                                      -75-


      -     a Ps.376.4 million decrease in the favorable hedge effect of the
            foreign exchange loss incurred in the year ended December 31, 2003,
            as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, in connection with
            our U.S.$600.0 million long-term debt securities maturing in 2011
            and 2032, which principal amount has been hedged by our net
            investment in Univision since March 2002; and

      -     a Ps.40.0 million increase in loss from monetary position primarily
            as a result of a higher net asset monetary position during the year
            ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31,
            2002.

RESTRUCTURING AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES

      Restructuring and non-recurring charges decreased by Ps.229.4 million, or
24.9%, to Ps.691.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from Ps.920.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This decrease reflects:

      -     a Ps.355.9 million non-recurring charge taken in the year ended
            December 31, 2002 in connection with the write-off of exclusive
            rights letters for soccer players;

      -     a Ps.178.7 million non-recurring charge taken in the year ended
            December 31, 2002 related to the drawdown by DirecTV under a letter
            of credit posted by us in connection with certain arrangements
            between DirecTV and us to broadcast the 2002 Soccer World Cup; and

      -     a reduction in restructuring charges in connection with workforce
            reductions in the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the
            year ended December 31, 2002.

      These decreases were partially offset by:

      -     a Ps.299.0 million non-recurring charge taken in the year ended
            December 31, 2003, in connection with the payment of vested and
            unvested salary benefits to certain of our union employees, as a
            part of our continuing cost-cutting efforts; and

      -     a Ps.173.1 million non-recurring charge taken in connection with an
            estimate for the disposal of certain long-lived assets and
            associated costs related to our nationwide paging business, based on
            the evaluation of the recoverability of the assets.

      We have taken various steps to reduce our costs and expenses, including
reducing the number of our full- and part-time employees. As of December 31,
2001, 2002 and 2003, our total employee headcount was approximately 13,700,
12,600 and 12,300 employees. Other steps taken by us to reduce our costs and
expenses include: consolidating our offices and facilities and the shutdown or
sale of non-essential operations; relocating some of our U.S. magazine
operations to Mexico to reduce printing costs; downsizing non-essential
post-production studios; eliminating some of our underperforming programming;
reducing real estate rental, promotional and employee travel expenses,
charitable donations and amenities; and reducing overtime payments.

      In connection with our workforce reductions and other cost-cutting
measures, we recorded non-recurring charges of Ps.219.2 million in 2003 and
Ps.379.1 million in 2002, which consisted primarily of severance payments and
other terminating charges.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

      In 2003, other expense, net decreased by Ps.1,762.6 million, or 75.5%, to
Ps.571.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to Ps.2,334.1
million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This decrease primarily reflects:
a Ps.1,046.9 million decrease in the write-off of goodwill for the year ended
December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, as well as a
gain of Ps.468.9 million on disposition of the remaining shares held by us in
our former DTH venture in Spain for the year ended December 31, 2003. Other
expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2003 primarily reflects non-cash
charges in connection with the

                                     - 76 -



amortization of goodwill in the amount of Ps.484.6 million, the write-off of
unamortized goodwill in the amount of Ps.119.9 million, a net gain in
disposition of certain investments in the amount of Ps.415.9 million, as well as
fees and expenses for professional services, donations and a net loss in
disposition of certain non-current assets for an aggregate amount of Ps.447.8
million.

INCOME TAX, ASSETS TAX AND EMPLOYEES' PROFIT SHARING

      The effective income and assets tax rate and employees' profit sharing
decreased for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2002, primarily reflecting the increased use of tax loss
carryforwards in 2003 as compared to 2002, partially offset by an increase in
consolidated assets tax, as a result of a higher assets tax base for the year
ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, and an
increase in foreign income tax in 2003 as compared to 2002.

      In accordance with the Ley del Impuesto Sobre la Renta, or Mexican Income
Tax Law, the corporate income tax of 35% in 2002 decreased to 34% in 2003. As a
result, our deferred income tax liability decreased in 2003. We and our
subsidiaries are also subject to an assets tax on the adjusted book value of
some of our assets. In some cases, income tax paid in excess of asset tax can be
individually credited against any assets tax payable by us and our subsidiaries.

      The assets tax rate is 1.8% for all periods and continues to be 1.8% as of
the date of this annual report. Income tax and assets tax from continuing
operations as a percentage of income before provisions was 16.9% in 2003 and
27.8% in 2002. See Note 21 to our year-end financial statements for the
effective rate reconciliation for each of these periods.

      See Note 21 to our year-end financial statements for a description and
quantification of the principal differences between the statutory tax rate and
the effective income tax rate and our consolidated and unconsolidated loss
carryforwards in 2003, 2002 and 2001.

      We, like other Mexican companies, are required by law to pay our
employees, in addition to their agreed compensation and benefits, profit-sharing
in an aggregate amount equal to 10% of our taxable income, calculated, on a
subsidiary by subsidiary basis, on a statutory basis that differs from the
calculation of taxable income under Mexican income tax law. We have also agreed
to pay our employees a special bonus each year, which we record under cost of
sales and operating expenses. In 2003 and 2002 our subsidiaries recognized
little or no taxable income for purposes of calculating employees'
profit-sharing, largely as a result of inflationary differentials and temporary
differences of expensing inventory. We recorded Ps.33.5 million and Ps.76.2
million in 2003 and 2002, respectively, under cost of sales and operating
expenses for special bonuses paid to our employees.

EQUITY IN LOSSES OF AFFILIATES

      During the periods presented, this line item primarily reflected:

      -     our investments in DTH satellite services in Mexico and other
            countries throughout Latin America; and

      -     our investment in Univision.

      Equity in results of affiliates increased by Ps.1,294.0 million to a gain
of Ps.29.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from an equity loss of
Ps.1,264.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase primarily
reflects a decrease in equity losses of Innova in the year ended December 31,
2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002; a reduction in our
liability position in Sky Multi-Country Partners, or MCOP, as a result of the
reduction in the estimated remaining lease obligation due to a reduction in the
estimated useful life of the satellite transponders being leased by MCOP and
guaranteed by us; and equity income from our investment in Univision. This
change was partially offset by an increase in equity losses in TechCo for the
year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002.

                                     - 77 -



      We expect that our DTH joint ventures will continue to experience
substantial net losses and substantial negative cash flow over at least the next
several years while they develop and expand their DTH satellite services. See
"Information on the Company -- Business Overview -- DTH Joint Ventures" and
Notes 5 and 10 to our year-end financial statements. As a result of certain
changes in U.S. accounting standards and the adoption of such standards as
permitted by Mexican GAAP, beginning April 1, 2004, we consolidated Innova into
our financial statements. We have not consolidated, and do not expect to
consolidate, any of our other DTH joint ventures into our financial statements.

      To the extent that we make additional funding to Innova and MCOP in excess
of our net liability position, we will be required to recognize our equity in
losses generated by Innova and MCOP up to the amount of any such excess under
this line item. In addition, in the event that Innova or MCOP generates net
income in the future, we will not be able to recognize our proportionate share
of this net income unless we first recognize our proportionate share of any
losses not previously recognized.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      In December 2001, we entered into an agreement to sell our music recording
operations to Univision, and we consummated this sale in April 2002. We no
longer engage in the music recording business, and under Mexican GAAP the
results of our music recording segment through December 31, 2001 and from prior
and subsequent periods have been classified as discontinued operations. As
consideration for the sale of this business, we received 6,000,000 shares and
100,000 warrants, which expire in 2017, to purchase shares of Univision's common
stock, which were recognized at their fair value as of the date of the
agreement. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a gain on disposition
of the music recording business of Ps.1,162.4 million, net of related costs,
expenses and taxes in 2002 and additional net loss on disposition of this
business of Ps.67.5 million in 2003, which were also reflected as discontinued
operations in those years. As part of this transaction, we paid certain working
capital adjustments to Univision in connection with an audit of the Music
Recording business by Univision, which was resolved by the parties in August
2004. See Note 22 to our year-end financial statements.

MINORITY INTEREST

      Minority interest increased by Ps.52.0 million to a gain of Ps.127.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from a gain of Ps.75.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase primarily reflected a net loss
of our nationwide paging business in 2003 as compared to a net income in 2002,
partially offset by decreases in the net loss of our Cable Television and Radio
segments for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2002. See Note 16 to our year-end financial statement.

NET INCOME

      We generated net income in the amount of Ps.3,783.3 million in 2003, as
compared to net income of Ps.807.0 million in 2002. The net increase of
Ps.2,976.3 million reflected:

      -     a Ps.1,273.6 million increase in operating income;

      -     a Ps.24.0 million decrease in integral cost of financing;

      -     a Ps.229.4 million decrease in restructuring and non-recurring
            charges;

      -     a Ps.1,762.6 million decrease in other expense, net;

      -     a Ps.1,294.0 million decrease in equity in losses from affiliates;
            and

      -     a Ps.52.0 million increase in minority interest.

                                     - 78 -



      This change was partially offset by a Ps.1,229.9 million decrease in
income from discontinued operations, and a Ps.429.4 million increase in income
taxes.

EFFECTS OF DEVALUATION AND INFLATION

      The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated:

      -     the percentage that the Peso devalued or appreciated against the
            U.S. Dollar;

      -     the Mexican inflation rate;

      -     the U.S. inflation rate; and

      -     the percentage change in Mexican GDP compared to the prior period.

      and 2004 as estimated by INEGI.

      The general condition of the Mexican economy, the devaluation of the Peso
as compared to the U.S. Dollar, inflation and high interest rates have in the
past adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, our:

            -     Advertising and other revenues. Inflation in Mexico adversely
                  affects consumers. As a result, our advertising customers may
                  purchase less advertising, which would reduce our advertising
                  revenues, and consumers may reduce expenditures for our other
                  products and services, including pay television services.

            -     U.S. Dollar-denominated revenues and operating costs and
                  expenses. We have substantial operating costs and expenses
                  denominated in U.S. Dollars. These costs are principally due
                  to our activities in the U.S., the costs of foreign-produced
                  programming and publishing supplies and the leasing of
                  satellite transponders. The following table sets forth our
                  U.S. Dollar-denominated revenues and operating costs and
                  expenses for 2002, 2003 and 2004:

      In 2002, our U.S. Dollar-denominated revenues exceeded our U.S.
Dollar-denominated costs and expenses, primarily due to the improvement of our
Programming Exports and Publishing Distribution segments. However, in 2003 and
2004 our U.S. Dollar-denominated costs and expenses exceeded, and they could
continue to exceed in the future, our U.S. Dollar-denominated revenues. As a
result we will continue to remain vulnerable to future devaluation of the Peso,
which would increase the Peso equivalent of our U.S. Dollar-denominated costs
and expenses.

      -     Depreciation and amortization expense. We restate our non-monetary
            Mexican and foreign assets to give effect to inflation. The
            restatement of these assets in periods of high inflation, as well as
            the devaluation of the Peso as compared to the U.S. Dollar,
            increases the carrying value of these assets, which in turn
            increases the related depreciation expense.

      -     Integral cost of financing. The devaluation of the Peso as compared
            to the U.S. Dollar generates foreign exchange losses relating to our
            net U.S. Dollar-denominated liabilities and increases the Peso
            equivalent of our interest expense on our U.S. Dollar-denominated
            indebtedness. Foreign exchanges losses and increased interest
            expense increase our integral cost of financing.

      In the second quarter of 2003, we repaid all of the remaining Series A
Senior Notes, which matured in May 2003, with the net proceeds from a long-term
credit agreement that we entered into with a Mexican bank for an aggregate
principal amount of Ps.800 million. As a result of these refinancings, we
reduced our exposure to the effects of the devaluation of the Peso as compared
to the U.S. Dollar, inflation and increases in interest rates. See " --
Liquidity, Foreign Exchange and Capital Resources -- Refinancings," " --
Liquidity, Foreign Exchange and Capital Resources -- Indebtedness" and Note 8 to
our year-end financial statements.

      We have also entered into and will continue to consider entering into
additional financial instruments to hedge against Peso devaluations and reduce
our overall exposure to the devaluation of the Peso as compared to the U.S.
Dollar, inflation and high interest rates. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to enter into financial instruments to protect ourselves from the effects
of the devaluation of the Peso as compared to the U.S. Dollar, inflation and
increases in interest rates, or if so, on favorable terms. In the past we have
designated, and from time to time in the future we may designate, certain of our
investments or other assets as effective hedges against Peso devaluations. In
that connection, effective March 2002, we designated our investment in Univision
as an effective hedge against our U.S. Dollar-denominated semi-annual interest
payments with respect to both our U.S.$300.0 million aggregate principal amount
of 8% Senior Notes due 2011 and our U.S.$300.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors --
Risk Factors Related to Mexico," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk -- Market Risk Disclosures" and Note 10 to our year-end financial
statements.

      Inflation under Mexican GAAP. Mexican GAAP requires that our financial
statements recognize the effects of inflation. In particular, our financial
statements reflect the:

      -     restatement of Mexican non-monetary assets (other than transmission
            rights, inventories and equipment of non-Mexican origin),
            non-monetary liabilities and shareholders' equity using the NCPI;
            and

      -     restatement of all inventories at net replacement cost.

U.S. GAAP RECONCILIATION

      For a discussion of the principal quantitative and disclosure differences
between Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to us through December 31,
2004, see Note 26 to our year-end financial statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED U.S. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      In December 2004, and as amended in April 2005, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R,
"Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123R), which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial
statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously
permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement
recognition. SFAS 123R is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2005. Early application of SFAS 123R is encouraged, but not required.

      Public companies are required to adopt the new standard using a modified
prospective method and may elect to restate prior periods using the modified
retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, companies are
required to record compensation cost for new and modified awards over the
related vesting period of such awards prospectively and record compensation cost
prospectively for the unvested portion, at the date of adoption, of previously
issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards.
No change to prior periods presented is permitted under the modified prospective
method. Under the modified retrospective method, companies record compensation
costs for prior periods retroactively through restatement of such periods using
the exact pro forma amounts disclosed in the companies' footnotes. Also, in the
period of adoption and after, companies record compensation cost based on the
modified prospective method. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, "TOPIC 14:
Share-based payment" (SAB 107). SAB 107 addresses the interaction between SFAS
123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides views regarding the
valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. This
bulletin is effective immediately. We have not yet determined the method of
adoption to be used and have not completed our evaluation of the effects of
adopting SFAS 123R.

      In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets" (An amendment to APB Opinion No. 29) (SFAS 153). This statement
addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary exchanges of similar
productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions", and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that
do not have commercial substance. This statement specifies that a monetary
exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are
expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of
this statement shall be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in
fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted.
We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

      In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), "Accounting
for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 143". FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the
fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be
reasonably estimated. FIN 47 states that a conditional asset retirement
obligation is a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in
which the timing or method of settlement are conditional upon a future event
that may or may not be within control of the entity. FIN 47 is effective no
later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We have not
quantified the impact of adopting FIN 47, but we do not expect the adoption to
have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NEW MEXICAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      In May 2004, the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants, or MIPA, issued
Bulletin B-7, "Business Acquisitions," which provides guidance for accounting of
business acquisitions and investments in associated

                                     - 81 -



entities. Bulletin B-7 requires that all business acquisitions and investments
in associates be accounted for by a single method, the purchase method, and
supplements the accounting for the recognition of intangible assets as a part of
a business acquisition. Upon adoption of Bulletin B-7, goodwill should not be
amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least on an annual basis.
Bulletin B-7 also provides guidelines for the acquisition of a minority
interest, and for asset transfers and business acquisitions among entities under
common control. Adoption of Bulletin B-7 is effective for periods beginning on
January 1, 2005 with early adoption encouraged. We adopted the provisions of
Bulletin B-7 effective January 1, 2004, and therefore, we no longer amortize our
goodwill effective that date. Before 2004, our goodwill was amortized over a
period of 20 years. This change resulted in a favorable impact of approximately
Ps.479.5 million in our financial statements for 2004.

      In April 2004, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-10, "Derivative Financial
Instruments and Hedge Operations." Bulletin C-10 establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that all derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. Bulletin
C-10 also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in
current earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria is met, in which case
such changes will be recognized in current earnings or stockholders' equity (as
accumulated other comprehensive income or loss), depending on the intended use
of the derivative and the resulting designation. Bulletin C-10 requires that a
company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of
transactions that receive hedge accounting. Bulletin C-10 is effective for
periods beginning on January 1, 2005. The adoption of Bulletin C-10 in 2005 did
not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

      Effective April 1, 2004, we adopted the guidelines of FIN 46, and
identified Innova as a variable interest entity under the guidance of FIN 46,
which is described under "New U.S. Accounting Standards" above, where we are the
primary beneficiary of our investment in Innova. Adoption of FIN 46 is permitted
under the scope of Mexican GAAP Bulletin A-8, "Supplementary Application of
International Accounting Standards." As a result of the adoption of FIN 46, on
April 1, 2004 we began to consolidate the assets, liabilities and accumulated
comprehensive losses of Innova into our consolidated financial statements, and
expect to recognize a cumulative loss effect of accounting change of
approximately Ps.1,021.6 million, net of a related minority interest, in our
consolidated statement of income for the year ending December 31, 2004. Before
adopting FIN 46, we accounted for our investment in Innova by applying the
equity method, and recognized equity losses in excess of our investment in
Innova up to the amount of the guarantees made by us in connection with certain
capital lease obligations incurred by Innova.

      In April 2004, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-10, "Derivative Financial
Instruments and Hedge Operations." This Statement, besides detailing recording
valuation and disclosure criteria applicable to all derivative financial
instruments, requires that the effectiveness of hedges be evaluated and that the
effective portion of the gains or losses on hedging instruments be recognized
within comprehensive income. Bulletin C-10 is effective for periods beginning on
January 1, 2005, with early adoption recommended. The adoption of Bulletin C-10
in 2005 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.

      In March 2003, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-15, "Impairment and Disposition
of Long-Lived Assets," which provides guidance for the recognition and
measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used,
including goodwill, and the measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of
by sale. Bulletin C-15 became effective for periods beginning on January 1, 2004
and did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements
since we were already applying an accounting policy for the valuation of our
long-lived assets, similar to the requirements of the Bulletin C-15.

      In January 2004, the MIPA issued a revised Bulletin D-3 "Labor
Obligations," effective January 1, 2005, which requires, among other amendments,
that severance obligations to dismissed personnel, other than those arising from
restructurings, be recognized based upon actuarial calculations. The transition
provisions of Bulletin D-3 allow for companies to fully charge the amount of the
initial liability to the income statement as a change in accounting principle or
alternatively, amortize the amount on a straight-line basis over the expected
future employee relationship period. In connection with this amendment, as of
January 1, 2005, we recognized a severance liability of Ps.252,403 and a
cumulative loss effect of accounting change in the amount of Ps.176,682, net of
an income tax

                                     - 82 -



benefit of Ps.75,721 for the first quarter of 2005. Through December 31, 2004,
severance obligations to dismissed personnel were charged by us to income in the
year in which they were incurred.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      We have identified certain key accounting policies upon which our
consolidated financial condition and results of operations are dependent. The
application of these key accounting policies often involve complex
considerations and assumptions and the making of subjective judgments or
decisions on the part of our management. In the opinion of our management, our
most critical accounting policies under both Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP are
those related to the accounting for programming, equity investments and the
evaluation of definite lived and indefinite lived long-lived assets. For a full
description of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 and Note 26 to
our year-end financial statements.

      Accounting for Programming. We produce a significant portion of
programming for initial broadcast over our television networks in Mexico, our
primary market. Following the initial broadcast of this programming, we then
license some of this programming for broadcast in secondary markets, such as the
United States, Latin America (including Mexico), Asia and Europe. Under Mexican
GAAP, in order to properly capitalize and subsequently amortize production costs
related to this programming, we must estimate the expected future benefit period
over which a given program will generate revenues (generally, over a five-year
period). We then capitalize the production costs related to a given program over
the expected future benefit period. Under this policy, we generally expense
approximately 70% of the production costs related to a given program in the year
of its initial broadcast and defer and expense the remaining production costs
over the remainder of the expected future benefit period. See Note 2 to our
year-end financial statements.

      We estimate expected future benefit periods based on past historical
revenue patterns for similar types of programming and any potential future
events, such as new outlets through which we can exploit or distribute our
programming, including our consolidated subsidiaries and equity investees, among
other outlets. To the extent that a given future expected benefit period is
shorter than we estimate, we may have to write-off capitalized production costs
sooner than anticipated. Conversely, to the extent that a given future expected
benefit period is longer than we estimate, we may have to extend the
amortization schedule for the remaining capitalized production costs.

      We also purchase programming from, and enter into license arrangements
with, various third party programming producers and providers, pursuant to which
we receive the rights to broadcast programming produced by third parties over
our television networks in Mexico and/or our pay television and other media
outlets. In the case of programming acquired from third parties, we estimate the
expected future benefit period based on the anticipated number of showings in
Mexico over our television networks and/or our pay television and other media
outlets. In the case of programming licensed from third parties, we estimate the
expected future benefit period based upon the term of the license. To the extent
that a given future expected benefit period is shorter than we estimate, we may
have to write off the purchase price or the license fee sooner than anticipated.
Conversely, to the extent that a given future expected benefit period is longer
than we estimate, we may have to extend the amortization schedule for the
remaining portion of the purchase price or the license fee.

      Equity Investments. Some of our investments are structured as equity
investments. See Notes 1(g) and 2 to our year-end financial statements. As a
result, under both Mexican and U.S. GAAP, the results of operations attributable
to these investments are not consolidated with the results of our various
segments for financial reporting purposes, but are reported as equity in income
(losses) of affiliates in our consolidated income statement. See Note 5 to our
year-end financial statements.

      In the past we have made significant capital contributions and loans to
our joint ventures, and we, in the future, may make additional capital
contributions and loans to at least some of our joint ventures. In the past,
these ventures have generated, and they may continue to generate operating
losses and negative cash flows as they continue to build and expand their
respective businesses. We also monitor the value of our investment in Univision
for indicators of impairment, including changes in market conditions and quoted
market prices which may result in the inability to recover our carrying value.

                                     - 83 -



      We periodically evaluate our investments in these joint ventures for
impairment, taking into consideration the performance of these ventures as
compared to projections related to net sales, expenditures and subscriber
growth, strategic plans and future required cash contributions, and quoted
market prices in the case of Univision, among other factors. In doing so, we
evaluate whether any declines in value are other than temporary. We have taken
impairment charges in the past for some of these investments. Given the dynamic
environments in which these businesses operate, as well as changing
macroeconomic conditions, we cannot assure you that our future evaluations would
not result in our recognizing additional impairment charges for these
investments.

      Once the carrying balance of a given investment is reduced to zero, we
evaluate whether we should suspend the equity method accounting, taking into
consideration both quantitative and qualitative factors, such as guarantees we
have provided to these ventures, future funding commitments and expectations as
to the viability of the business. These conditions may change from year to year,
and accordingly, we periodically evaluate whether to continue to account for our
various investments under the equity method.

      Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets. Under Mexican GAAP,
goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, such as television broadcast
licenses were amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives through December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We ceased amortizing our
goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, beginning January 1, 2004
and 2003, respectively. We assess our goodwill and other indefinite-lived
intangible assets for impairment using fair value measurement techniques under
Mexican GAAP, which is similar to U.S. GAAP in this regard except that Mexican
GAAP does not require a two-step impairment evaluation process, but rather, a
direct comparison of fair value to carrying value.

      The identification and measurement of impairment to goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite lives involves the estimation of fair values.
These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether or
not an impairment charge is recognized and also the magnitude of any such
charge. We perform valuation analyses with the assistance of third parties and
consider relevant internal data, as well as other market information, that is
publicly available. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined using
discounted cash flows and market comparisons. These approaches use significant
estimates and assumptions including projected future cash flows (including
timing), discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows,
perpetual growth rate, determination of appropriate market comparables and the
determination of whether a premium or discount should be applied to comparables.
Inherent in these estimates and assumptions is a certain level of risk, which we
believe we have considered in our valuations. Nevertheless, if future actual
results differ from estimates, a possible impairment charge may be recognized in
future periods related to the write-down of the carrying value of goodwill and
other intangibles in addition to the amounts recognized previously.

      Long-lived Assets. Under both Mexican and U.S. GAAP, we present certain
long-lived assets and capitalized costs other than goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheet. Long-lived
assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of an asset is no longer recoverable from
future discounted projected cash flows. Estimates of future cash flows involve
considerable management judgment. These estimates are based on historical data,
future revenue growth, anticipated market conditions, management plans,
assumptions regarding projected rates of inflation and currency fluctuations,
among other factors. If these assumptions are not correct, we would have to
recognize a write-off or write-down or accelerate the amortization schedule
related to the carrying value of these assets. See Notes 1(j), 7 and 20 to our
year-end financial statements. Unlike U.S. GAAP, Mexican GAAP allows the
reversal in subsequent periods of previously taken impairment charges.

      Deferred Income Taxes. Under both Mexican and U.S. GAAP, we record a
valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more
likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income
and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need
for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be
able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net
recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income
in the period such determination was made. Should we determine that we would not
be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax

                                     - 84 -



asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to
income in the period such determination was made.

LIQUIDITY, FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Liquidity. We generally rely on a combination of operating revenues,
borrowings and net proceeds from dispositions to fund our working capital needs,
capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments. Historically, we have
received, and continue to receive, most of our advertising revenues in the form
of upfront advertising deposits in the fourth quarter of a given year, which we
in turn used, and continue to use, to fund our cash requirements during the rest
of the quarter in which the deposits were received and for the first nine months
of the following year. As of December 31, 2004, December 31, 2003 and December
31, 2002 we had received Ps.13,615.3 million (nominal), Ps.12,354.9 million
(nominal) and Ps.11,304.7 million (nominal), respectively, of advertising
deposits for television advertising during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively,
representing U.S.$1.2 billion, U.S.$1.1 billion, and U.S.$1.1 billion,
respectively, at the applicable year-end exchange rates. The deposits as of
December 31, 2004 represented a 10.2% (nominal) increase, or 4.3% in real terms,
as compared to year-end 2003, and the deposits at December 31, 2003 represented
a 9.3% (nominal) increase or 5.1% in real terms as compared to year-end 2002.
Approximately 60.9%, 62.0% and 62.6% of the advanced payment deposits as of each
of December 31, 2004, December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively,
were in the form of short-term, non-interest bearing notes, with the remainder
in each of those years consisting of cash deposits. The weighted average
maturity of these notes at December 31, 2004, December 31, 2003 and December 31,
2002 was 3.5 months, 3.3 months and 3.5 months, respectively. See " -- Results
of Operations -- Total Segment Results -- Television Broadcasting."

      We expect to fund our cash needs during 2005, other than cash needs in
connection with any potential investments and acquisitions, through a
combination of cash from operations and cash on hand. We intend to finance our
potential investments or acquisitions in 2005 through available cash from
operations, cash on hand and/or borrowings. The amount of borrowings required to
fund these cash needs in 2005 will depend upon the timing of cash payments from
advertisers under our advertising sales plan.

      Cash Basis Income. Our cash basis income is defined in our Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Financial Position in our year end financial statements
as "net income adjusted for non-cash items." Non-cash items represent primarily
depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and equity in results of
affiliates, exclusive of changes in working capital. The Mexican Pesos amounts
in this section are expressed in millions of Mexican Pesos in purchasing power
as of December 31, 2004.

      In 2004, we generated positive cash basis income of Ps.7,999.6 million, as
compared to a positive cash basis income of Ps.5,265.8 million during 2003. This
change was due primarily to the following increases in cash basis income:

      -     a Ps.2,668.6 million increase in operating income;

      -     a Ps.539.2 million decrease in restructuring and non-recurring
            charges; and

      -     a Ps.502.2 million decrease in income and assets taxes and
            employees' profit sharing.

      The increases in our cash basis income were partially offset by:

      -     a Ps.838.1 million increase in integral cost of financing, which was
            due primarily to an increase in interest expense and foreign
            exchange loss; and

      -     a Ps.138.1 million increase in other expense, net.

      In 2003, we generated positive cash basis income of Ps.5,265.8 million, as
compared to a positive cash basis income of Ps.3,512.3 million during 2002. This
change was due primarily to the following increases in cash basis income:

                                     - 85 -



      -     a Ps.1,292.4 million increase in operating income;

      -     a Ps.326.5 million decrease in other expense, net;

      -     a Ps.229.4 million decrease in restructuring and non-recurring
            charges; and

      -     a Ps.24.0 million decrease in integral cost of financing, which was
            due primarily to an increase in interest income and a decrease in
            interest expense.

      The increases in our cash basis income were partially offset by a Ps.118.8
million increase in income and assets taxes and employees' profit sharing.

      In 2002, we generated positive cash basis income of Ps.3,512.3 million, as
compared to a positive cash basis income of Ps.4,154.1 million during 2001. This
change was due primarily to the following decreases in cash basis income:

      -     a Ps.434.2 million increase in other expense, net;

      -     a Ps.292.5 million increase in restructuring and non-recurring
            charges;

      -     a Ps.192.6 million increase in integral cost of financing, which was
            due primarily to a decrease in interest income and an increase in
            interest expense; and

      -     a Ps.167.0 million increase in income and assets taxes and
            employees' profit sharing.

      This change was partially offset by a Ps.444.5 million increase in
operating income.

      Capital Expenditures, Acquisitions and Investments, Distributions and
Other Sources of Liquidity.

      During 2005, we expect to:

      -     make aggregate expenditures for property, plant and equipment of
            approximately U.S.$210.0 million, which amount includes capital
            expenditures in amount of U.S.$35.0 million for the expansion and
            improvements of our cable business and U.S.$115.0 million for the
            expansion and improvements of our DTH business, which is operated by
            Innova.

      During 2004, we:

      -     made aggregate capital expenditures for property, plant and
            equipment of approximately U.S.$174.6 million, which amount included
            capital expenditures in the amount of U.S.$35.1 million and
            U.S.$57.6 million related to our Cable Television and Sky Mexico
            segments, respectively;

      -     invested an aggregate of U.S.$12.5 million in TechCo and MCOP in the
            form of long-term loans; and

      -     contributed Ps.69.9 million (nominal) to fund our seniority premium
            obligations.

During 2003, we:

      -     made aggregate capital expenditures for property, plant and
            equipment of approximately U.S.$94.9 million, which amount included
            capital expenditures in the amount of U.S.$17.4 million for the
            expansion and improvement of our cable business;

                                     - 86 -



      -     invested an aggregate of U.S.$2.5 million in "TuTV," a 50% joint

      Refinancings. During 2000, we completed a refinancing of our indebtedness
which included the repurchase of a majority of the aggregate principal amounts
of our Series A Senior Notes due May 2003, Series B Senior Notes due May 2006
and Senior Discount Debentures due May 2008, and the amendments to the related
indentures. After giving effect to the amendments to the related indentures,
substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the events of
default were eliminated. In May 2001, we redeemed all of the remaining Senior
Discount Debentures outstanding and terminated the related indenture. In the
second quarter of 2003, we repaid all of the remaining Series A Senior Notes,
which matured in May 2003, with the net proceeds from a long-term credit
agreement that we entered into with a Mexican bank for an aggregate principal
amount of Ps.800.0 million. See " -- Indebtedness" below and Note 9 to our
year-end financial statements. For a description of the aggregate principal
amount of Series B Senior Notes outstanding as of December 31, 2004, see " --
Indebtedness" below.

      In September 2001, we issued U.S.$300.0 million aggregate principal amount
of 8% Senior Notes due 2011, which net proceeds and cash on hand were used to
repay approximately U.S.$300.0 million of a U.S.$400.0 million term loan
facility that we entered into with a group of banks in May 2000, which
originally matured in 2004. In December 2001, we entered into a U.S.$100.0
million long-term loan facility, the proceeds of which were used to repay the
remaining approximately U.S.$100.0 million of indebtedness then outstanding
under our U.S.$400.0 million term loan facility, which was subsequently
terminated. For a description of our 8% Senior Notes due 2011 and the U.S.$100.0
million long-term loan facility, see " -- Indebtedness" below.

      In connection with our acquisition of shares of preferred stock of
Univision, as described under "Information on the Company -- Business Overview
-- Univision," on December 21, 2001, we entered into a U.S.$276.0 million bridge
loan facility. We borrowed U.S.$276.0 million in a single drawing on December
21, 2001. We used all of the net proceeds from this bridge loan facility,
together with approximately U.S.$99.0 million of cash on hand, to finance our
acquisition of shares of preferred stock of Univision. See "Information on the
Company -- Business Overview -- Univision." We repaid all of the U.S.$276.0
million of indebtedness outstanding under this bridge loan facility with a
substantial portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of U.S.$300.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032 in March 2002. For a
description of our 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032, see " -- Indebtedness" below.

      In May 2004, we entered into a five-year credit agreement with a Mexican
bank for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.1,162.5 million, which net proceeds
were used by us to repay any outstanding amounts under the U.S.$100.0 million
syndicated term loan. For a description of the terms of the Ps.1,162.5 million
long-term credit agreement, see " -- Indebtedness" below.

      In October 2004, we entered into a seven-and-a-half-year credit agreement
with a Mexican bank for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.2,000.0 million. Net
proceeds of this loan are intended to be used principally to prefund a portion
of our U.S.$200.0 million aggregate principal amount 8 5/8% Senior Notes due in
August 2005.

      In March 2005, we issued U.S.$400 million aggregate principal amount of 6
5/8% Senior Notes due 2025. We applied the net proceeds from this issuance, as
well as cash on hand, to fund our tender offers for any or all or our

                                     - 87 -



U.S.$300 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 8.00% Senior
Notes due 2011 and our Ps.3,839 million (equivalent to approximately U.S.$336.9
million) aggregate principal amount of 8.15% UDI-denominated Notes due 2007. For
a description of our 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025, see " -- Indebtedness" below.

      In May 2005, we reopened our 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025 for an
additional U.S.$200 million for an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$600
million of 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025 outstanding.

      Indebtedness. The following table sets forth a description of our
outstanding indebtedness as of December 31, 2004 on a historical, actual basis
and as adjusted to reflect (a) the early redemption in January 2005 by Innova of
U.S.$88 million of 12.875% Senior Notes due 2007 using a portion of the net
proceeds from a bank loan from HSBC, which was incurred in December 2004, (b)
the issuance of U.S.$400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6 5/8% Senior
Notes due 2025 and the application of the net proceeds from this issuance,
together with cash on hand, to fund our tender offers for any or all or our
U.S.$300.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 8.00% Senior
Notes due 2011 and our Ps.3,839 million (equivalent to approximately U.S.$336.9
million) aggregate principal amount of 8.15% UDI-denominated Notes due 2007, (c)
the prepayment of the Serfin loan in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.80
million in May 2005 and (d) the issuance of the U.S.$200 million aggregate
principal amount of 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025 via a reopening of the note in
May 2005, in each case, as if such transactions occurred on December 31, 2004.

      B Notes bear interest at an effective rate of 12.49%. The Series B Senior
      Notes are redeemable by us in the event of certain changes in the law
      affecting the Mexican withholding tax treatment of certain payments we
      make on the Series B Senior Notes, as well as at our option in certain
      cases. See Note 9 to our year-end financial statements.

      Senior Notes due 2011, the 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032 and the 6 5/8%
      Senior notes due 2025 are redeemable by us in the event of certain changes
      in the law affecting the Mexican withholding tax treatment of certain
      payments we make in respect of these notes, as well as at our option in

      Notes due 2005 through an exchange offer in January 2001.

(6)   Reflects the issuance of U.S.$300.0 million aggregate principal amount of
      8.0% Senior Notes due 2011 issued on September 13, 2001. We applied the
      net proceeds from this issuance, together with cash on hand, to repay
      approximately U.S.$300.0 million of the U.S.$400.0 million of indebtedness
      then outstanding under our prior U.S.$400.0 million term loan facility. As
      described below, we registered substantially all of these notes through an
      exchange offer in March 2002.

(7)   Reflects the issuance of U.S.$300.0 million aggregate principal amount of
      8.5% Senior Notes due 2032 issued on March 1, 2002. We applied a
      substantial portion of the net proceeds from this issuance to repay all of
      the U.S.$276.0 million of indebtedness then outstanding under our bridge
      loan facility. In July 2002, we registered all of our 8.5% Senior Notes
      due 2032 pursuant to an exchange offer. See Note 9 to our year-end
      financial statements.

(8)   Reflects the issuance of U.S.$600.0 million aggregate principal amount of

      March 18, 2005 and U.S.$200.0 million on May 26, 2005. We applied the net
      proceeds from the March 18 issuance, together with cash on hand, to fund
      our tender offers for any or all or our U.S.$300.0 million aggregate
      principal amount outstanding of our 8.00% Senior Notes due 2011 and our
      Ps.3,839 million (equivalent to approximately U.S.$336.9 million)
      aggregate principal amount of 8.15% UDI-denominated Notes due 2007. We may
      use the net proceeds from the May 26, 2005 issuance for

(9)   In September 2003, Innova completed the offering of these U.S.$300.0
      million Senior Notes, bearing an interest at a coupon rate of 9.375%,
      payable semi-annually. These securities are unsecured and unsubordinated
      indebtedness of Innova and contain certain restrictive covenants for
      Innova on additional indebtedness, liens, sales and leasebacks, restricted
      payments, asset sales, and certain mergers, consolidations and similar
      transactions. Innova may, at its own option, redeem these Senior Notes, in
      whole or in part, at any time on or after September 19, 2008 at redemption
      prices from 104.6875% to 101.5625% between September 19, 2008 through
      September 18, 2011, or 100% commencing on September 19, 2011, plus accrued
      and unpaid interest, if any. Additionally, on or before September 19,
      2006, Innova may, at its own option and subject to certain requirements,
      use the proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings to redeem up
      to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of these Senior Notes at 109.375%
      of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

(10)  In October 2004, the Company entered into a long-term credit agreement
      with a Mexican bank in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.2,000.0
      million, which matures in 2010 (50%) and 2012 (50%). Interest on this loan
      is 10.35% per annum, and is payable on a monthly basis. The proceeds of
      this loan are intended to be used principally to prefund a portion of the
      Company's debt maturing in August 2005.

(11)  In May 2003, we entered into a long-term credit agreement with a Mexican
      bank for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.800.0 million, with two
      tranches of Ps.400.0 million each. The annual interest rate for the first
      tranche equals 9.35% plus additional basis points from 0 to 45 based on
      the maintenance of certain financial coverage ratios related to
      indebtedness (the "additional basis points"), and an annual interest rate
      for the second tranche equal to the Mexican interbank rate plus 40 basis
      points plus additional basis points. Interest due in connection with this
      credit agreement is payable on a 28-day basis. This indebtedness has two
      semi-annual maturities of Ps.40.0 million each in 2004, two semi-annual
      maturities of Ps.120.0 million each in 2006 and two quarterly maturities
      of Ps.240.0 million each in 2008. This credit agreement was subsequently
      amended to reflect a fixed annual interest rate of 8.50% plus additional
      basis points for the second tranche beginning in the third quarter of
      2003.

(12)  In May 2004, we entered into a long-term credit agreement with a Mexican
      bank for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.1,162.5 million, which
      matures in 2009. The annual interest rate of this indebtedness equals
      9.70% and is payable on a monthly basis.

(13)  The aggregate principal amount of this loan is payable in 20 equal
      quarterly installments beginning August 2001 and ending May 2006. Interest
      on this loan is payable on a quarterly basis.

(14)  In December 2004, Innova entered into a long-term credit agreement with a
      Mexican bank in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.1,012.0 million,
      which amortizes in 2010 (50%) and 2011 (50%), and is guaranteed by us and
      News Corp. at 51% and 49%, respectively. Interest on this loan is 10.55%
      per annum, and is payable on a monthly basis. The net proceeds of this
      loan were used by Innova to prepay in January 2005 all of the outstanding
      amounts of the U.S.$88.0 million outstanding principal amount of Senior
      Notes due in 2007.

(15)  Includes outstanding indebtedness in the aggregate amount of Ps.106.0
      million under the following bank loans and capital leases:

-     Ps.2.0 million in capital lease obligations. These obligations bear
      interest at a variable annual rate between 13% and 18% and have maturities
      ranging from 2005 to 2009; and

-     Ps.104.0 million in other bank loans, which are denominated in U.S.
      Dollars. These bank loans bear interest at a variable annual rate between
      one and five points above LIBOR and have maturities ranging from 2005 and
      2010.

(16)  Actual weighted average maturity of long-term debt as of December 31,
      2004.

      In April 2000, we issued UDI-denominated notes for an aggregate principal
amount of 1,086,007,800 UDIs, pursuant to a medium-term note program in Mexico.
Our UDI-denominated notes mature in 2007 and bear interest at an annual rate of
8.15%. The facility governing the medium-term note program pursuant to which we
issued our UDI-denominated notes does not contain any financial or restrictive
covenants. In March of 2005, as part of a refinancing plan, we launched a tender
offer for any or all of our 8.15% UDI-denominated notes due 2007 through

                                     - 90 -



which approximately Ps.2,935 million (equivalent to approximately U.S.$262
million) in aggregate principal amount, representing approximately 76% of the
outstanding principal amount of these notes, were tendered. See Note 8 to our
year-end financial statements.

      In August 2000, we issued U.S.$200.0 million aggregate principal amount of
8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2005. Interest on the 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2005 is
payable semi-annually in February and August of each year, commencing in
February 2001. In September 2001, we issued U.S.$300.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 8% Senior Notes due 2011. Interest on the 8.0% Senior Notes
due 2011 is payable semi-annually in March and September of each year,
commencing in March 2002. In March of 2005, as part of a refinancing plan, we
consummated a tender offer for our Senior Notes due 2011 through which
approximately U.S.$222 million in aggregate principal amount, representing
approximately 74% of the outstanding principal amount of these notes, were
tendered. In March 2002, we issued U.S.$300.0 million aggregate principal amount
of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032. Interest on the 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032 is
payable semi-annually in March and September of each year, commencing in
September 2002. In March 2005, we issued U.S.$400 million aggregate principal
amount of 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025. Interest on the 6 5/8% Senior Notes due
2025 is payable semi-annually in March and September of each year, commencing
September 2005. In May 2005, we reopened our 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025 by
issuing an additional U.S.$200 million under the same terms and payable
semi-annually on the same dates as the 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025 issued in
March 2005. The indenture related to the 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2005, the 8.0%
Senior Notes due 2011, the 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032 and the 6 5/8% Senior
Notes due 2025 requires us to comply with certain covenants. The 8 5/8% Senior
Notes due 2005, the 8.0% Senior Notes due 2011, the 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032
and the 6 5/8% Senior notes due 2025 are unsecured obligations, rank equally in
right of payment with all of our future unsecured and subordinated indebtedness
and are junior in right of payment to all existing and future liabilities of our
subsidiaries. The 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2005, the 8.0% Senior Notes due 2011,
the 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032 and the 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025 are
redeemable by us in the event of certain changes in the law affecting the
Mexican withholding tax treatment of certain payments we make on these notes.
The 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025 are also redeemable at any time in whole or in
part, at our option, by paying the greater of the principal amount of the notes
and a "make-whole" amount, plus in each case accrued interest. We intend to
register the 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025 pursuant to an exchange offer. In the
fourth quarter of 2000, we registered substantially all of the 8 5/8% Senior
Notes due 2005 pursuant to an exchange offer. We registered substantially all of
the U.S.$300.0 million 8.0% Senior Notes due 2011 pursuant to an exchange offer
in March 2002. In July 2002, we registered all of the 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032
pursuant to an exchange offer. See Note 9 to our year-end financial statements.

      As described above under " -- Refinancings," in December 2001, we entered
into a U.S.$100.0 million term loan facility. We borrowed U.S.$100.0 million in
a single drawing on December 21, 2001, the principal of which was payable over
five years in semi-annual installments, commencing on June 21, 2005. Borrowings
under this facility bore interest at a rate of 0.875% per annum over LIBOR.
Interest in respect of principal amounts borrowed under this facility was
payable in semi-annual installments. In May 2004, we prepaid any amounts
outstanding under the U.S.$100.0 million term loan facility by using the net
proceeds from a Ps.1,162.5 million long-term credit agreement that we entered
into with a Mexican bank in May 2004, which terms are summarized below.

      The Ps.1,162.5 million long-term credit agreement contains restrictive
covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries through
which we conduct our television broadcasting, pay television networks and
programming exports businesses to:

      -     incur indebtedness;

      -     make dividend payments;

      -     issue and sell capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; and

      -     consummate mergers and consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions or
            transfers of assets.

                                     - 91 -


      The Ps.1,162.5 million long-term credit agreement also requires us to
maintain:

      -     a total net debt/EBITDA ratio (as defined) not greater than 3.50 to
            1.00; and

      -     a EBITDA/cash interest ratio (as defined) not less than 1.50 to
            1.00.

      In the second quarter of 2003, we repaid all of the remaining Series A
Senior Notes, which matured in May 2003, with the net proceeds from a long-term
credit agreement that we entered into with a Mexican bank for an aggregate
principal amount of Ps.800.0 million. The principal amount is divided into two
tranches of Ps.400.0 million each, with an annual interest rate for the first
tranche of 9.35% plus additional basis points from 0 to 45 based on the
maintenance of certain financial coverage ratios related to indebtedness (the
"additional basis points"), and an annual interest rate for the second tranche
equal to the Mexican interbank rate plus 40 basis points plus additional basis
points. Interest due in connection with this credit agreement is payable on a
28-day basis. This indebtedness has two semi-annual maturities of Ps.40.0
million each in 2004, two semi-annual maturities of Ps.120.0 million each in
2006 and two quarterly maturities of Ps.240.0 million each in 2008. The terms of
this credit agreement require us to comply with certain covenants and maintain
certain financial ratios similar to those under the Ps.1,162.5 million long-term
credit agreement summarized above. This credit agreement was subsequently
amended to reflect a fixed annual interest rate of 8.50% plus additional basis
points for the second tranche beginning in the third quarter of 2003. In October
2004, we entered into a seven-and-a-half-year credit agreement with a Mexican
bank for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.2,000.0 million. The net proceeds
of this financing are intended to be used principally to prefund a portion of
our U.S.$200 million aggregate principal amount 8 5/8% Senior Notes due in
August 2005.

      In addition, in April 2003 we prepaid a long-term loan for approximately
23.6 million Euros, which originally matured in June 2003. This indebtedness was
incurred to finance the recapitalization of Via Digital in January 2000.

      Interest Expense. Interest expense for 2004 was Ps.2,095.4 million,
Ps.172.1 million of which was attributable to the index restatement of our
UDI-denominated notes due 2007.

      The following table sets forth our interest expense for the years
indicated:

      Guarantees. We guarantee our proportionate share of our DTH joint
ventures' minimum commitments for use on PanAmSat and other transponders for
periods of up to 15 years. The amount of these guaranteed commitments is
estimated to be an aggregate of approximately U.S.$111.8 million as of December
31, 2004, related to Innova. In October 2004, in connection with the
transactions with DIRECTV Mexico, we entered into an amended and restated
guarantee with PanAmSat, pursuant to which the proportionate share of Innova's
transponder lease obligation guaranteed by us was reduced from 60% to 51% and
will remain at 51% until the options granted by Innova and Innova Holdings to
News Corp. are exercised in full, at which point our obligations under the
guarantee will be adjusted to cover a percentage of the transponder lease
obligations equal to our percentage ownership of Innova at that time. See
"Information of the Company -- Business Overwiew -- DTH Joint Ventures." See
"Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions -- The Principal Shareholders
and Related Party Transactions -- Related Party Transactions," See "Information
of the Company -- Business Overwiew -- DTH Joint Ventures" and Notes 10 and 12

obligations of TechCo in which we have a 30% interest in an aggregate amount of
approximately U.S.$9.9 million. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk

      Maria Asuncion Aramburuzabala Larregui and Lucrecia Aramburuzabala
Larregui are sisters. Carlos Fernandez Gonzalez is the husband of Lucrecia
Aramburuzabala Larregui and the brother-in-law of Maria Asuncion Aramburuzabala
Larregui.

      Maria Asuncion Aramburuzabala Larregui and Carlos Fernandez Gonzalez are
beneficiaries of the Investor Trust, one of our Major Shareholders which owns
5.15% of the Shares held in the Shareholder Trust. See "Major Shareholders and
Related Party Transactions -- The Major Shareholders." Pursuant to the
Shareholders Trust Agreement, the Investor Trust is entitled to nominate one
individual to our Board of Directors so long as the Shares it holds through the
Shareholder Trust constitute more than 2% of the total issued and outstanding
Shares. See "Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions -- The Major
Shareholders" for a further discussion of the rights of the Investor Trust.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

      General. The management of our business is vested in our Board of
Directors. Our bylaws currently provide for a Board of Directors of 20 members,
at least 25% of which must be "independent directors" under Mexican law (as
described below), and the same number of alternate directors. See "Other
Information -- Mexican Securities Market Law." Under Mexican law, a person will
not qualify as an "independent director" if he or she is, among others things:

      -     one of our employees or managers;

      -     a controlling shareholder, in our case, the beneficiaries of the
            Shareholder Trust;

      -     a partner or employee of a company which provides advisory services
            to us or any company which is part of the same economic group as we
            are, that receives 10% or more of its income from us;

      -     a significant client, supplier, debtor or creditor, or member of the
            Board or executive officer of any such entities;

      -     an employee of any association, foundation, or partnership that
            receives at least 15% of its total donations from us; or

      -     any high level executive officer of a corporation in which one of
            our high level executives is a member of the Board of Directors of
            that corporation.

      Election of Directors. A majority of the members of our Board of Directors
must be Mexican nationals and must be elected by Mexican shareholders. At our
annual shareholders' meeting on April 29, 2005 and at our annual meetings
thereafter, a majority of the holders of the A Shares voting together elected,
or will have the right to elect, eleven of our directors and corresponding
alternates and a majority of the holders of the B Shares voting together
elected, or will have the right to elect, five of our directors and
corresponding alternates. At our special

                                     -100-


shareholders' meetings, a majority of the holders of the L Shares and D Shares
will each continue to have the right to elect two of our directors and alternate
directors, each of which must be an independent director. Ten percent holders of
A Shares, B Shares, L Shares or D Shares will be entitled to nominate, a
director and corresponding alternates. Each alternate director may vote in the
absence of a corresponding director. Directors and alternate directors are
elected for one-year terms by our shareholders at each annual shareholders'
meeting, and each serves until a successor is elected and takes office. All of
the current and alternate members of the Board of Directors were elected by our
shareholders at our 2005 annual shareholders' special and general meetings,
which were held on April 29, 2005.

      Quorum; Voting. In order to have a quorum for a meeting of the Board of
Directors, generally at least 50% of the directors or their corresponding
alternates must be present. However, in the case of a meeting of the Board of
Directors to consider certain proposed acquisitions of our capital stock, at
least 75% of the directors or their corresponding alternates must be present.
See "Other Information -- Bylaws -- Antitakeover Protections." In the event of a
deadlock of our Board, our Chairman will have the deciding vote.

      Meetings; Actions Requiring Board Approval. Our bylaws provide that our
Board must meet at least once a quarter, and that our Chairman, 25% of the
Board, our Secretary or alternate Secretary or any statutory auditor may call
for a Board meeting. Pursuant to the Mexican Securities Market Law and our
bylaws, our Board of Directors must approve all transactions that deviate from
our ordinary course of business, and involve, among others, (i) a related party
transaction, (ii) any purchase or sale of 10% or more of our assets, (iii) the
grant by us of guarantees in an amount or amounts exceeding 30% of our assets or
(iv) other transactions representing more than 1% of our assets, in addition to
any shareholder approval required by our bylaws or otherwise.

      Committees of Our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has an
Executive Committee. Each member is appointed for a one-year term at each annual
general shareholders' meeting. Our bylaws provide that the Executive Committee
may generally exercise the powers of the Board of Directors, except those
expressly reserved for the Board in our bylaws or by applicable law. The
Executive Committee currently consists of Emilio Azcarraga Jean, Juan Pablo
Andrade Frich, Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega, Maria Asuncion Aramburuzabala
Larregui, Julio Barba Hurtado, Jose Antonio Baston Patino, Bernardo Gomez
Martinez and Alejandro Quintero Iniguez. In accordance with the Mexican
Securities Market Law and our bylaws, we established an Audit Committee
consisting of the following members of our Board: Francisco Jose Chevez Robelo,
who is the Chairman of this Committee, Juan Pablo Andrade Frich and Alberto
Montiel Castellanos. Both the Chairman and a majority of the members of the
Audit Committee must be independent directors. Our statutory auditors must be
invited to attend all Audit Committee meetings. Among other duties and
responsibilities, the Audit Committee must:

      -     prepare an annual report regarding its activities for submission to
            the Board and to our shareholders at our annual shareholders'
            meeting;

      -     render an opinion as to transactions and arrangements with related
            parties, which must be approved by our Board of Directors; and

      -     propose independent experts to render opinions in connection with
            transactions that deviate from our ordinary course of business, and
            which involve, among other things, (i) a related party, (ii) any
            purchase or sale of 10% or more of our assets, (iii) the grant by us
            of guarantees in an amount or amounts exceeding 30% of our assets or
            (iv) other transactions representing more than 1% of our assets.

                                     -103-


COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

      For the year ended December 31, 2004, we paid our directors, alternate
directors and executive officers for services in all capacities aggregate
compensation of approximately nominal Ps.309.2 million (U.S.$27.7 million using
the Interbank Rate, as reported by Banamex, as of December 31, 2004).

      We made Ps.61.4 million in contributions to our pension and seniority
premium plans on behalf of our directors, alternate directors and executive
officers in 2004. Projected benefit obligations as of March 31, 2005 were
approximately Ps.47.6 million.

STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

      Pursuant to the terms of our stock purchase plan, as amended, we may grant
eligible participants, who consist of key executives and other personnel, rights
to purchase CPOs and/or CPO equivalents or we may conditionally sell CPOs and/or
CPO equivalents to these participants. Our shareholders have authorized the
allocation of up to 8% of our capital stock to this and any other plans we may
establish from time to time for the benefit of our employees. See " -- Long Term
Retention Plan." Pursuant to the stock purchase plan, the exercise or sale
prices of the CPOs and/or CPO equivalents are based on then current market
prices at the time the options are granted or the conditional sale agreement is
executed. We have implemented the stock purchase plan by means of a special
purpose trust. The CPOs, CPO equivalents and underlying shares that are part of
the stock purchase plan will be held by the special purpose trust and will be
voted with the majority of the CPOs, CPO equivalents and underlying shares
represented at the relevant meeting until these securities are transferred to
plan participants or otherwise sold in the open market. In accordance with the
stock purchase plan, our President and the technical committee of the special
purpose trust have broad discretion to make decisions related to the stock
purchase plan, including the ability to accelerate vesting terms, to release or
transfer CPOs and/or CPO equivalents, subject to conditional sale agreements, to
plan participants in connection with sales for purposes of making the payment of
the related purchase price, and to implement amendments to the stock purchase
plan, among others.

      The stock purchase plan has been implemented in several stages since 1999,
through a series of conditional sales to plan participants of CPOs. The
conditional sale agreements entered into by plan participants since the
implementation of the stock purchase plan through the fourth quarter of 2001
were terminated for several reasons, including the failure of plan participants
to pay the purchase price and the fact that the average closing price per CPO on
the Mexican Stock Exchange fell below certain thresholds for a 15 trading day
period.

      As of March 11, 2005, allocations and conditional sale agreements have
been made or executed with respect to approximately 118 million CPOs, generally
at exercise prices ranging from approximately Ps.11.21 to Ps.19.10
(approximately U.S.$1.04 to U.S.$1.71) per CPO (in certain cases, adjusted
upwards by a specified percentage ranging from 2% to 6%, depending upon whether
the purchase price is paid in Pesos or in U.S. Dollars, generally from the date
of the relevant conditional sale agreement through the date of payment(s)).
Pursuant to the related conditional sale agreements, rights to approximately 30
million CPOs vested in February 2003, approximately 17.5 million CPOs vested in
March 2004 and approximately 17.5 million vested in March 2005. Rights to the
remaining CPOs currently vest no later than 2008. Rights to purchase these CPOs
currently expire in 2011. Unless the technical committee of the special purpose
trust or our President determines otherwise, these CPOs will be held in the
special purpose trust until they are transferred to plan participants or
otherwise sold in the open market, subject to the conditions set forth in the
related conditional sale agreements. Any CPOs not transferred to plan
participants pursuant to the relevant conditional sale agreement may be
allocated to other existing or future plan participants, provided that the
rights of the original plan participants to purchase these CPOs have expired or
are terminated. See Notes 13 and 26 to our year-end financial statements.

      In December 2002, we registered for sale CPOs by the special purpose trust
to plan participants pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 under the
Securities Act. The registration of these CPOs permits plan participants who are
not affiliates and/or the special purpose trust on behalf of these plan
participants to sell their CPOs that have vested into the Mexican and/or U.S.
markets through ordinary brokerage transactions without any volume or other

                                     -104-


limitations or restrictions. Those plan participants who are affiliates may only
sell their vested CPOs either pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or in reliance on an exemption from registration. All
or a portion of the net proceeds from any such sales would be used to satisfy
the purchase price obligations of these plan participants pursuant to their
conditional sale agreements. As of December 31, 2004, approximately 16.5 million
CPOs transferred to plan participants have been sold in open market
transactions, and additional sales took place during the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and will continue to take place during or after 2005.

LONG-TERM RETENTION PLAN

      At our general extraordinary and ordinary shareholders' meeting held on
April 30, 2002, our shareholders authorized the creation and implementation of a
Long-Term Retention Plan, which supplements our existing stock purchase plan. At
the meeting, our shareholders also authorized the issuance of A Shares in an
aggregate amount of up to 4.5% of our capital stock at the time the A Shares are
issued, a portion of the 8% of our capital stock previously authorized by our
shareholders for these plans, as well as the creation of one or more special
purpose trusts to implement the Long-Term Retention Plan. One of these special
purpose trusts currently owns approximately 143.5 million CPOs or CPO
equivalents, of which approximately 53% are in the form of CPOs and the
remaining 47% are in the form of A, B, D and L Shares. We estimate that all of
those Shares will become vested over a period of no less than 18 years. Pursuant
to our Long-Term Retention Plan, we may grant eligible participants, who consist
of unionized and non-unionized employees, including key personnel, awards as
stock options, conditional sales, restricted stock or other similar
arrangements. As approved by our shareholders, the exercise or sale price, as
the case may be, is based (i) on the average trading price of the CPOs during
the first six months of 2003, or (ii) on the price determined by the Board, the
technical committee of the special purpose trust or the President of Televisa,
in either case, adjusted by any applicable discount, including discounts
attributable to limitations on the disposition of the Shares or CPOs that are
subject to the Long-Term Retention Plan. The CPOs and their underlying shares as
well as A, B, D and L Shares that are part of the Long-Term Retention Plan will
be held by the special purpose trust and will be voted (y) with the majority of
those securities, as the case may be, represented at the relevant meeting or (z)
as determined by the technical committee of the special purpose trust, until
these securities are transferred to plan participants or otherwise sold in the
open market.

      As of March 31, 2005, awards under the Long-Term Retention Plan have been
granted with respect to approximately 52 million CPOs or CPO equivalents million
Shares, either in the form of CPOs or Shares, at prices ranging from
approximately Ps.13.45 to Ps.28.05 per CPO. Rights with respect to these
securities vest during the period commencing in 2008 and ending in 2023 (in
certain cases, adjusted upwards by a specified percentage similar to the
interest rate generated by Government liquid securities). Pursuant to the
resolutions adopted by our shareholders' meeting, we have not, and do not intend
to, register shares under the Securities Act that are allocated to the Long-Term
Retention Plan. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to
Our Securities -- The Interests of Our GDS Holders Will Be Diluted if We Issue
New Shares and These Holders Are Unable to Exercise Preemptive Rights for Cash."

SHARE OWNERSHIP OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

      Share ownership of our directors, alternate directors and executive
officers is set forth in the table under "The Principal Shareholders and Related
Party Transactions." Except as set forth in this table, none of our directors,
alternate directors or executive officers is currently the beneficial owner of
more than 1% of any class of our capital stock or conditional sale agreements or
options representing the right to purchase more than 1% of any class of our
capital stock.

STATUTORY AUDITORS

      Under our bylaws, the holders of a majority of the outstanding A Shares
and B Shares elect a statutory auditor (comisario) and a corresponding alternate
statutory auditor at the annual ordinary shareholders' meeting. For such
election, the vote of the majority of the outstanding A Shares is also required.
In accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Law, holders of common stock or
non-voting stock representing at least 10% of a company's capital stock shall
have the right to appoint one statutory auditor. Mexican law requires that the
statutory auditors receive monthly reports from the Board of Directors regarding
material aspects of our affairs, including our financial

                                     -105-


condition, and that they be invited to attend any meeting of the Board of
Directors. The statutory auditors are also authorized to call ordinary or
extraordinary general meetings, place items on the agenda for meetings of
shareholders or the Board of Directors, attend meetings of shareholders, the
Board of Directors or the audit committee and generally monitor our affairs. In
addition, the statutory auditors are also required to report to the shareholders
at the annual shareholders' meeting regarding our financial statements and
related matters, and must be invited to all Board and Audit and Executive
Committee meetings, where they can attend but not vote. At our 2005 Annual
Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, Mario Salazar Erdmann was elected to serve as
our statutory auditor until the acceptance of the election by his successor at
the next annual shareholders' meeting and Jose Miguel Arrieta Mendez was elected
as alternate statutory auditor.

EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS

      The following table sets forth the number of employees and a breakdown of
employees by main category of activity and geographic location as of the end of
each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004:

      As of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, approximately half of our
employees were represented by unions. We believe that our relations with our
employees are good. Under Mexican law, the agreements between us and most of our
television, radio and cable television union employees are subject to
renegotiation on an annual basis in January of each year. We also have union
contracts with artists, musicians and other employees, which are also
renegotiated on an annual basis.

      As a result of continuing the cost-cutting initiatives introduced in the
first half of 2001, we reduced our workforce by 1,134 employees in 2002, 266
employees in 2003 and 23 employees in 2004. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
our total employee headcount was approximately 12,300 and 12,300 employees,
respectively. On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the consolidation of
Innova, our total employee headcount would have been approximately 14,100 at
December 31, 2004 and approximately 14,200 at December 31, 2003. See
"Information on the Company -- Business Overview -- Business Strategy --
Continuing to Improve Cash Flow Margins" and "Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects -- Restructuring and Non-recurring Charges."

      The Televisa shares held through the Shareholder Trust are voted by the
trustee as instructed by a Technical Committee comprising five members -- three
appointed by the Azcarraga Trust and one appointed by each of the Inbursa Trust
and the Investor Trust. Accordingly, except as described below, Emilio Azcarraga
Jean will control the voting of the shares held through the Shareholder Trust.
In elections of directors, the Technical Committee will instruct the trustee to
vote the A Shares held through the Shareholder Trust for individuals designated
by Mr. Azcarraga Jean. The A Shares held through the Shareholder Trust
constitute a majority of the A Shares whose holders are entitled to vote them,
because non-Mexican holders of CPOs and GDSs are not permitted by law to vote
the underlying A Shares. Accordingly, so long as non-Mexicans own more than a
minimal number of A Shares, Mr. Azcarraga Jean will have the ability to direct
the election of eleven out of 20 members of our Board and in addition, since he
controls the majority of A Shares, certain key matters including dividend
payments, mergers, spin-offs, changes in corporate purpose, changes of
nationality and amendments to the anti-takeover provisions of our bylaws require
his vote in favor.

      Pursuant to Televisa's by-laws, holders of Series B shares are entitled to
elect five out of 20 members of the Board of Directors. The Shareholder Trust
regulates the manner in which shareholders participating in such trust are
entitled to propose nominees as members of the Board of Directors to be elected
by holders of Series B Shares. In accordance with the Shareholders Trust, the
five nominees for which the trustee will vote the B Shares held by the
Shareholders Trust are proposed by the shareholders participating in the
Shareholders Trust, as follows (i) Emilio Azcarraga Jean is entitled to propose
two nominees to be members of the Board of Directors elected by Series B Shares,
(ii) the Investors Trust is entitled to propose one nominee, so long as the
shares it holds through the Shareholder Trust constitute more than 2% of the
total issued and outstanding Televisa shares, and (iii) until the Inbursa Trust
is entitled to release all its Televisa shares from the Shareholder Trust, and
so long as the shares it holds through the Shareholder Trust constitute more
than 2% of the total issued and outstanding Televisa shares, the Inbursa Trust
will be entitled to propose two nominees. In the event that one of the nominees
proposed by the Inbursa Trust is not elected to our Board of Directors, then so
long as Mr. Azcarraga Jean has the ability to direct the election of 11 Board
members, the A Shares held through the Shareholder Trust will be voted for one
individual nominated by the Inbursa Trust to serve on our Board.

      Because the B Shares held through the Shareholder Trust constitute only
13.35% of the total B Shares outstanding, there can be no assurance that
individuals nominated by the Shareholder Trust beneficiaries will be elected to
our Board. However, the B Shares held through the Shareholder Trust constitute a
higher proportion of the B Shares whose holders are entitled to vote them,
because non-Mexican holders of CPOs and GDSs are not permitted by law to vote
the underlying B Shares.

      Emilio Azcarraga Jean has agreed to consult with the Inbursa Trust and the
Investor Trust as to the voting of shares held through the Shareholder Trust on
matters specifically set forth in the Shareholder Trust Agreement, including
increases or reductions in the capital stock of Televisa; merger, split-up,
dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings of Televisa; related party
transactions, extensions of credit or share repurchases, in each case exceeding
specified thresholds; and selection of the chairman of Televisa's Board of
Directors, if different from

                                    - 108 -


Emilio Azcarraga Jean. If either of the Inbursa Trust or the Investor Trust
requests that shares be voted in a particular way on such a matter, and Mr.
Azcarraga Jean declines to do so, such party may immediately release its
Televisa shares from the Shareholder Trust. These consultation rights will
terminate as to either the Inbursa Trust or the Investor Trust if it ceases to
be party to the Shareholder Trust or if it owns less than 2% of the total
capital stock of Televisa.

      RELEASE OF SHARES

      The beneficiaries of the Shareholder Trust will have only limited rights
to transfer or pledge their trust interests without the consent of the other
trust beneficiaries, but they may transfer freely to affiliated parties as
defined in the Shareholder Trust Agreement.

      Except for two million CPOs which were released to the Fernandez family
immediately upon the completion of the Recapitalization, the Shareholder Trust
beneficiaries will not be permitted to release shares from the trust before July
1, 2005. Beginning July 1, 2005, the Investor Trust may release or sell any or
all of its Shares from the Shareholder Trust. The Inbursa Trust may release or
sell up to two-thirds of its Shares from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2009 and
any or all of its Shares beginning July 1, 2009. The Azcarraga Trust may release
or sell any or all of its Shares from the Shareholder Trust beginning July 1,
2005, but upon any such release or sale, the Inbursa Trust may freely release or
sell any or all of its Shares.

      In addition, as described above, if either of the Inbursa Trust or the
Investor Trust requests that Shares be voted in a particular way on any matter
specifically set forth in the Shareholder Trust Agreement, and Mr. Azcarraga
Jean declines to do so, such party may immediately release its Shares.

      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      Transactions and Arrangements With Innova. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we
engaged in, and we expect that we will continue to engage in, transactions with
Innova, including, without limitation, the transactions described below. We hold
a 60% equity interest in Innova through a consolidated joint venture with News
Corp. and Liberty Media. Beginning April 1, 2004, we began including the assets,
liabilities and results of operations of Innova in our consolidated financial
statements (see Notes 1(g) and 10 to our year-end financial statements).
Although we hold a majority of Innova's equity, News Corp. has significant
governance rights, including the right to block any transaction between us and
Innova. See Note 9 to Innova's year-end financial statements for all of the
information that Innova must make publicly available in Mexico regarding
transactions and arrangements with us.

      Capital Contributions and Loans. From Innova's inception through December
2004, we had made approximately U.S.$89.4 million in capital contributions and
approximately U.S.$185.9 million in loans and U.S.$48.6 million in accrued
interest, or a total of U.S.$234.5 million capitalized in Innova. Effective as
of September 9, 2003, we capitalized all outstanding loans and accrued interest
to Innova, which were reflected as a contribution to Innova's capital.

      In May 2004, we entered into the following transactions with Innova and
the other two equity owners of Innova, News Corp. and Liberty Media, which had
the net effect of increasing Innova's net worth by U.S.$15 million but did not
affect the relative ownership interests of any equity owner:

      -     News Corp. contributed to Innova an account receivable of U.S.$15
            million owed to News Corp. by Sky DTH, S. de R. L. de C.V., or Sky
            DTH;

      -     We assigned to Sky DTH an account receivable of U.S.$15 million owed
            to us by Innova; and

      -     Innova, Innova Holdings, News Corp., Liberty Media and Sky DTH
            agreed that the obligation owed by Innova to Sky DTH and the
            obligation owed by Sky DTH to Innova would be set off against each
            other and cancelled.

                                    - 109 -


      In connection with this transaction, we and the other equity owners also
increased Innova's capital by a de minimis amount; we continue to indirectly own
60%, News Corp. continues to indirectly own 30% and Liberty Media continues to
indirectly own 10% of Innova. In October 2004, we, Innova, News Corp., and
Liberty Media entered into a series of transactions with each other and with
DIRECTV, which, if consummated, would result in Innova being owned 57% by us and
43% by DIRECTV and DTVLA. See "Information on the Company -- Business Overview
-- DTH Joint Ventures."

      Programming. Pursuant to an agreement between us and Innova, we have
granted Innova exclusive DTH rights to some program services in Mexico, subject
to some preexisting agreements with third parties. Innova paid us approximately
Ps.307.2 million, Ps.282.6 million and Ps.358.1 million for these rights in
2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Innova currently pays the rates paid by third
party providers of cable television and MMDS services in Mexico for our various
programming services. In addition, pursuant to the agreement, we cannot charge
Innova higher rates than the rates that we charge third party providers of cable
television and MMDS services in Mexico for our various programming services. In
October 2004, we entered into new channel licensing agreements with Innova
pursuant to which Innova will pay us a royalty fee to carry our over-the-air
channel on its DTH service.

      Advertising Services. In January 2001, we entered into an agreement with
Innova, pursuant to which Innova pools most of its advertising time with
advertising time on channels broadcast by us, Innova and Cablevision. Innova
pays us 12% of the revenues from any advertising sales we make on its behalf
pursuant to this agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, we also negotiate most
of Innova's advertising contracts with third party advertisers, as well as
provide other related and ancillary services, such as invoicing and collection
services.

      Innova also purchased magazine advertising space and television and radio
advertising time from us in connection with the promotion of its DTH satellite
services in 2002, 2003 and 2004, and we expect that Innova will continue to do
so in the future. For television, radio and magazine advertising, Innova paid
and will continue to pay the rates applicable to third party advertisers. Innova
paid us Ps.143.7 million, Ps.128.6 million and Ps.127.4 million for advertising
services in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

      Guarantees. We have guaranteed a portion of Innova's payments to PanAmSat
for transponder services on satellite PAS-9. Our guarantee is currently limited
to 51% of Innova's obligations under the transponder lease and will be adjusted
to equal our percentage ownership in Innova, after the options granted to News
Corp. by Innova and Innova Holdings are exercised in full. Innova is obligated
to pay a monthly service fee of U.S.$1.7 million to PanAmSat for satellite
signal reception and retransmission service from transponders on the PAS-9
satellite through September 2015. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, we had
guaranteed payments in the amount of U.S.$143.8 million and U.S.$111.8 million,
respectively, which represented 60% and 51% of Innova's obligations to PanAmSat
at the end of 2003 and 2004, respectively. In October 2004, in connection with
the transactions with DIRECTV Mexico, we entered into an amended and restated
guarantee with PanAmSat, pursuant to which the proportionate share of Innova's
transponder lease obligation guaranteed by us was reduced from 60% to 51% and
will remain at 51% until the options granted by Innova and Innova Holdings to
News Corp. are exercised in full, at which point our obligations under the
guarantee will be adjusted to cover a percentage of the transponder lease
obligations equal to our percentage ownership of Innova at that time. See
"Information of the Company -- Business Overwiew -- DTH Joint Ventures." See
"Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions -- The Principal Shareholders
and Related Party Transactions -- Related Party Transactions," See "Information
of the Company -- Business Overwiew -- DTH Joint Ventures" and Notes 10 and 12
to our year-end financial statements. If Innova does not pay these fees in a
timely manner, we will be required to pay our proportionate share of its
obligations to PanAmSat. We have also guaranteed 51% of Innova's payment
obligation under the Ps.1,012 million credit agreement it entered into in
December 2004 with HSBC.

      Tax Sharing Agreement. We have a tax sharing agreement with Innova, which
sets forth certain of our rights and obligations, as well as those of Innova,
with respect to Innova's liability for federal income and assets taxes imposed
under Mexican tax laws. We received an authorization from Mexican tax
authorities to include Innova's results in our consolidated tax return for
purposes of determining our income and assets taxes. Tax profits or losses
obtained by Innova are consolidated with our tax profits or losses up to 100% of
our percentage ownership of Innova, which is currently 60%. Pursuant to the tax
sharing agreement, in no event shall Innova be required to remit to us an

                                    - 110 -


amount in respect of its federal income and assets taxes that is in excess of
the product of (x) the amount that Innova would be required to pay on an
individual basis, as if Innova had filed a separate tax return, and (y) with
respect to asset and income taxes, our direct or indirect percentage ownership
of Innova's capital stock.

      For additional information concerning transactions with Innova, as well as
amounts paid to us by Innova pursuant to these transactions in 2004, see Note 17
to our year-end financial statements and Note 9 to Innova's year-end financial
statements. See also "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to
Our Business -- We Have Experienced Substantial Losses, Primarily in Respect of
Our Investments in Innova and Sky Multi-Country Partners, and Expect to Continue
to Experience Substantial Losses as a Result of Our Participation in DTH Joint
Ventures, Which Would Adversely Affect Our Net Income" and "Information on the
Company -- Business Overview -- DTH Joint Ventures -- Mexico."

      Transactions and Arrangements with MCOP. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we
engaged in, transactions with MCOP, including, without limitation, the
transactions described below. We indirectly hold a 30% equity interest in MCOP,
our DTH non-consolidated joint venture in Latin America outside of Mexico and
Brazil. Until October 2004, the balance of MCOP's equity was owned by News Corp.
and Globopar, each of which indirectly held a 30% equity interest, and Liberty
Media, which indirectly held a 10% equity interest. Each of the partners also
held indirect interests, individually, in the same proportion as their interests
in MCOP, in two service entities: (i) ServiceCo, a U.S. partnership formed to
provide certain business and management services; and (ii) TechCo, a U.S.
partnership formed to provide certain technical services from a main uplink
facility in Miami Lakes, Florida and a redundancy site in Port St. Lucie,
Florida. Under an agreement among us and the partners of MCOP, all material
decisions relating to the business and affairs of MCOP and all decisions
relating to MCOP's investment in any DTH platform were required to be approved
by 75% of the partners. In addition, representation on the board was
proportional to the parties' relative voting interests in MCOP. In October 2004,
we, Innova, News Corp., Liberty Media and Globopar entered into a series of
agreements with each other and with DIRECTV relating to our DTH joint ventures
which resulted in ServiceCo being wholly-owned by DIRECTV and which, if
consummated, would result in MCOP being wholly owned by DIRECTV. See
"Information on the Company -- Business Overview -- DTH Joint Ventures."

      Capital Contributions and Loans. From MCOP's inception through December
2004, we have made approximately U.S.$139.2 million in capital contributions.
Additionally, capital contributions of approximately U.S.$15.0 million were made
on our behalf by News Corp. in which amount was reflected as a liability due to
News Corp. in our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2003. During 2003
and 2004, we made loans to MCOP in the aggregate amount of U.S.$13.1 million and
U.S.$7.2 million respectively, in connection with the transponder service
agreement with PanAmSat. We are not obligated to make any further capital
contributions or loans to MCOP.

      Programming. MCOP paid us approximately U.S.$1.5 million for rights to
carry certain of our program services in 2003 and U.S.$0.5 million in 2004. MCOP
currently pays the rates paid by third party providers of cable television and
MMDS services for our various programming services.

      Guarantees. Until October 2004, we had guaranteed MCOP's payments to
PanAmSat for transponder services on PAS-6B in proportion to our respective
ownership interest in MCOP, which is currently 30%. MCOP is obligated to pay a
monthly service fee of U.S.$3.0 million to PanAmSat for satellite signal
reception and retransmission service from transponders on the PAS-6B satellite
through 2014. In October 2004, in conjunction with a series of agreements
entered into by us with DIRECTV and News Corp., we were released from our
satellite transponder guarantee, which, as of December 31, 2004, amounted to
approximately Ps.345.6 million.

      For additional information concerning transactions with MCOP, see Note 10
to our year-end financial statements. See also "Key Information -- Risk Factors
-- Risk Factors Related to Our Business -- MCOP's Inability to Provide Financial
Support to TechCo Could Compromise Innova's Ability to Provide Services to its
Customers" and "Business -- DTH Joint Ventures -- Mexico."

      Transactions and Arrangements with TechCo. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we
engaged in, and we expect that we will continue to engage in, transactions with
TechCo, including, without limitation, the transactions described below. We
indirectly hold a 30% equity interest in TechCo, our U.S. partnership formed to
provide certain technical services from a main uplink facility in Miami Lakes,
Florida and a redundancy site in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Until October 2004,
the balance of TechCo's equity was owned by News Corp. and Globopar, each of
which indirectly held a 30% equity interest, and Liberty Media, which indirectly
held a 10% equity interest. In October 2004, DIRECTV acquired the 70% indirect
interest in TechCo owned by News Corp., Globopar and Liberty Media. Under an
agreement among us and the partners of TechCo, all decisions relating to the
business and affairs of TechCo and all decisions relating to TechCo's investment
in any DTH platform must be approved by 75% of the partners. In addition,
representation on the board is proportional to the parties' relative voting
interests in TechCo.

      Capital Contributions and Loans. From TechCo's inception through December
2004, we have made approximately U.S.$12.9 million in capital contributions.
During 2003 and 2004, we made loans to TechCo in the aggregate amount of
U.S.$7.5 million and U.S.$4.5 million, respectively, in connection with TechCo's
operating cash shortfall. We do not anticipate to continue to fund TechCo's
shortfall in the form of loans.

      Guarantees. We have guaranteed 36% of TechCo's payments in respect of its
capital lease obligations. TechCo is obligated to make payments under its
capital leases with various maturities between 2005 and 2007 for an aggregate
amount of U.S.$27.4 million in respect of its capital lease obligations. As of
December 31, 2003, we had guaranteed payments by TechCo in the aggregate amount
of U.S.$15.8 million and as of December 31, 2004 we had guaranteed payments in
the aggregate amount of U.S.$9.9 million.

      For additional information concerning transactions with TechCo, see Notes
5 and 12 to our year-end financial statements. See also "Key Information -- Risk
Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Our Business -- MCOP's Inability to Provide
Financial Support to TechCo Could Compromise Innova's Ability to Provide
Services to its Customers" and "Information on the Company -- Business Overview
-- DTH Joint Ventures -- Mexico."

      Transactions and Arrangements With Univision. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we
engaged in, and we expect that we will continue to engage in, transactions with
Univision. We currently own 39,289,534 shares and warrants representing an
approximate 10.7% equity stake in Univision, on a fully diluted basis. For a
description of programming and other agreements between us and Univision, as
well as royalties paid to us by Univision pursuant to programming agreements,
see "Information on the Company -- Business Overview -- Television --
Programming Exports," "Information on the Company -- Business Overview --
Univision" and Note 17 to our year end financial statements.

      As described under "Information on the Company -- Business Overview --
Univision," we currently have the right to appoint a member of Univision's Board
of Directors. In 2002, we appointed Emilio Azcarraga Jean, our Chairman of the
Board, Chief Executive Officer, President and President of the Executive
Committee of our Board, as our director, and Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega, our
Executive Vice President, as our alternate director of Univision. Univision
subsequently appointed Mr. Azcarraga Jean as Vice-Chairman of its Board of
Directors. Effective as of May 9, 2005, Mr. Azcarraga Jean and Mr. de Angoitia
Noriega resigned as a director and alternate director, respectively, of
Univision.

      TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS WITH OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

      On June 1, 2004, Servicios Profesionales, a company controlled by Emilio
Azcarraga Jean, purchased a 5% interest of Mas Fondos from Corporativo Vasco de
Quiroga, S.A. de C.V., one of our subsidiaries and the controlling shareholder
of Mas Fondos. The total consideration that Servicios Profesionales paid in
connection with this acquisition was Ps.500,000. We received authorization for
this transaction from the CNBV on June 28, 2004. For additional information
concerning Mas Fondos see "Information on the Company -- Business Overview --
Other Business -- Mutual Fund Venture."

                                    - 112 -


      On May 31, 2000, we made a personal loan in the amount of U.S.$150,000 to
Jorge Eduardo Murguia Orozco, one of our executive officers. The aggregate
principal amount of this loan, together with accrued interest, was repaid in
full by Mr. Murguia in June 2004.

      Certain of our executive officers have in the past, and from time to time
in the future may, purchase debt securities issued by us and/or Innova from
third parties in negotiated transactions.

      TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES OF OUR
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

      Fonovideo. In March 2004, we entered into a production services agreement
with FV Productions LLC, which is currently controlled by Televicentro, for the
production of a telenovela series. Under these arrangements, we will pay
approximately U.S.$4.2 million for each telenovela series delivered in
accordance with an agreed upon schedule.

      Acquisition of Telespecialidades. In June 2003, we purchased all the
outstanding equity of Telespecialidades, a company which was owned by all of the
shareholders of Televicentro in the same proportion that they owned
Televicentro. The total consideration we paid in connection with this
acquisition was approximately U.S.$83.0 million, which was financed with cash on
hand. At the time of the acquisition, Telespecialidades's net assets consisted
principally of 1,591,283 CPOs, which CPOs were previously owned by Televicentro,
and tax loss carryforwards of approximately Ps.7,062.2 million. The terms of
this acquisition were approved by our Audit Committee. Telespecialidades was
merged into Televisa, S.A. de C.V. on December 31, 2003.

      Consulting Services. Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales, S.C., or
Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales, a consulting firm which is controlled by
Ariana Azcarraga De Surmont, the sister of Emilio Azcarraga Jean, has, from time
to time during 2002, 2003 and 2004 provided consulting services and research in
connection with the effects of our programming, especially telenovelas, on our
viewing audience. Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales has provided us with
such services in 2005 and we expect to continue these arrangements through 2005.

      Loans from Banamex. From time to time in the past and in 2002, 2003 and
2004, Banamex made loans to us, Televicentro and several other of our
affiliates, and we expect that this will continue to be the case in the future.
These loans were made to us, Televicentro and our affiliates on terms
substantially similar to those offered by Banamex to third parties. Emilio
Azcarraga Jean, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the
Board, is a member of the Board of Banamex. One of our directors, Roberto
Hernandez Ramirez, is the Chairman of the Board of Banamex. Mr. Hernandez is
also a member of the Board of, and the beneficial owner of less than 1% of the
outstanding capital stock of, Citigroup, Inc., the entity that indirectly
controls Banamex. Lorenzo H. Zambrano Trevino, one of our directors, is also a
member of the Board of Banamex. For a description of amounts outstanding under,
and the terms of, our existing credit facilities with Banamex, see "Operating
and Financial Review and Prospects -- Results of Operations -- Liquidity,
Foreign Exchange and Capital Resources -- Indebtedness."

      Advertising Services. Two of our directors, Maria Asuncion Aramburuzabala
Larregui and Carlos Fernandez Gonzalez, and one of our alternate directors,
Lucrecia Aramburuzabala Larregui, are members of the Board and Executive
Committee of, as well as shareholders of, Grupo Modelo, S.A. de C.V., or Grupo
Modelo, the leading producer, distributor and exporter of beer in Mexico. Carlos
Fernandez Gonzalez also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Grupo Modelo.
Grupo Modelo purchased advertising services from us in connection with the
promotion of its products from time to time in 2002, 2003, 2004 and the three
months ended March 31, 2005, and we expect that this will continue to be the
case in the future. Grupo Modelo paid and will continue to pay rates applicable
to third party advertisers for these advertising services.

      Several other members of our current Board serve as members of the Boards
and/or shareholders of other companies. See "Directors, Senior Management and
Employees." Some of these companies, including Banamex, Kimberly-Clark de
Mexico, S.A. de C.V., Grupo Financiero Santander, S.A. de C.V. and Telefonos de
Mexico, S.A. de C.V., among others, purchased advertising services from us in
connection with the promotion of their respective products and services from
time to time in 2002, 2003, 2004 and the three months ended March 31, 2005, and
we expect that this will continue to be the case in the future. Similarly,
Alejandro Quintero Iniguez, a member of the Board and the Executive Committee
and our Corporate Vice President of Sales and Marketing, is a shareholder and

                                    - 113 -


member of the Boards of Grupo TV Promo, S.A. de C.V., or Grupo TV Promo, and TV
Promo, S.A. de C.V., or TV Promo, companies which produce promotional campaigns
and events for their and our clients. Grupo TV Promo and TV Promo have purchased
and will continue to purchase advertising services from us in connection with
these promotional campaigns. All of the companies described above paid and will
continue to pay rates applicable to third party advertisers for these
advertising services.

      Legal and Advisory Services. During 2002, 2003, 2004 and the three months
ended March 31, 2005, Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C., a Mexican law
firm, provided us with legal and advisory services, and we expect that this will
continue to be the case in the future. Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega, a partner on
leave of absence from the law firm of Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C.,
is one of our directors, a member of our Executive Committee, an Executive Vice
President and was a member of the Related Party Transactions Committee. Juan
Sebastian Mijares Ortega, another partner on leave of absence from the law firm
of Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C., serves as one of our alternate
directors, our Vice President -- Legal and Corporate General Counsel and was a
member of the Related Party Transactions Committee, which was replaced by the
Audit Committee. Neither Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega nor Juan Sebastian Mijares
Ortega currently receives any form of compensation from, or participates in any
way in the profits of, Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C. Ricardo
Maldonado Yanez, a partner from the law firm of Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y
Fuentes, S.C., serves also as Secretary of our Board of Directors and Secretary
to the Executive Committee of our Board of Directors. We believe that the fees
we paid for these services were comparable to those that we would have paid
another law firm for similar services. See Note 17 to our year-end financial
statements.

ITEM 9. OFFER AND LISTING DETAILS

                        TRADING HISTORY OF CPOS AND GDSS

      Since December 1993, the GDSs have been traded on the NYSE and the CPOs
have been traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange. In July 2002, we removed

      Trading prices of the CPOs and the GDSs will be influenced by our results
of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and by
economic, financial and other factors and market conditions. See "Key
Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Mexico -- Economic and
Political Developments in Mexico May Adversely Affect Our Business." There can
be no assurance that prices of the CPOs and the GDSs will, in future, be within
the ranges set forth above. We believe that as of May 31, 2005, approximately
89.4 million GDSs were held of record by 136 persons with U.S. addresses. Before
giving effect to the Recapitalization, substantially all of the outstanding A
Shares not held through CPOs were owned by Televicentro and a special purpose
trust created for our Long Term Retention Plan, as described under "Major
Shareholders and Related Party Transactions" and "Directors, Senior Management
and Employees -- Long Term Retention Plan."

                      TRADING ON THE MEXICAN STOCK EXCHANGE

OVERVIEW

      The Mexican Stock Exchange, located in Mexico City, is the only stock
exchange in Mexico. Operating continuously since 1907, the Mexican Stock
Exchange is organized as a corporation with variable capital, or sociedad
anonima de capital variable. Securities trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange
occurs from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Mexico City time, each business day. Since
January 1999, all trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange has been effected
electronically. The Mexican Stock Exchange may impose a number of measures to
promote an orderly and transparent trading price of securities, including the
operation of a system of automatic suspension of trading in shares of a
particular issuer when price fluctuation exceeds certain limits. The Mexican
Stock Exchange may also suspend trading in shares of a particular issuer as a
result of the disclosure of a material event, or when the changes in the volume
traded or share price are not consistent with either the historic performance or
information publicly available. The Mexican Stock Exchange may resume trading in
the shares when it deems that the material events have been adequately disclosed
to public investors or when it deems that the issuer has adequately explained
the reasons for the changes in the volume traded or prevailing share price.
Under current regulations, in certain cases when the relevant securities are
simultaneously traded on a stock exchange outside of Mexico, the Mexican Stock
Exchange may consider the measures adopted by the other stock exchange in order
to suspend and/or resume trading in the issuer's shares.

      Settlement is effected two business days after a share transaction on the
Mexican Stock Exchange. Deferred settlement, even by mutual agreement, is not
permitted without the approval of the CNBV. Most securities traded on the
Mexican Stock Exchange, including the CPOs, are on deposit with S.D. Indeval,
S.A. de C.V., Institucion para el Deposito de Valores, or Indeval, a privately
owned securities depositary that acts as a clearinghouse, depositary and
custodian, as well as a settlement, transfer and registration agent for Mexican
Stock Exchange transactions, eliminating the need for physical transfer of
securities.

      Although the Mexican Securities Market Law provides for the existence of
an over-the-counter market, no such market for securities in Mexico has been
developed.

MARKET REGULATION AND REGISTRATION STANDARDS

      In 1946, the Comision Nacional de Valores, or the National Securities
Commission, commonly known as the CNV, was established to regulate stock market
activity. In 1995, the CNV and the Comision Nacional Bancaria, or the National
Banking Commission, were merged to form the CNBV. The Mexican Securities Market
Law, which took effect in 1975, introduced important structural changes to the
Mexican financial system, including the organization of brokerage firms as
corporations with variable capital, or sociedades anonimas de capital variable.
The Mexican Securities Market Law sets standards for authorizing companies to
operate as brokerage firms, which authorization is granted at the discretion of
the Ministry of Finance upon the recommendation of the CNBV. In addition to
setting standards for brokerage firms, the Mexican Securities Market Law
empowers the CNBV, among other things, to regulate the public offering and
trading of securities and to impose sanctions for the illegal use of insider
information. The CNBV regulates the Mexican securities market, the Mexican Stock
Exchange and brokerage firms through a board of governors composed of thirteen
members, five of which are appointed by the Ministry of Finance.

      As of June 2, 2001, the Mexican Securities Market Law requires issuers to
increase the protections offered to minority shareholders and to impose
corporate governance controls on Mexican listed companies in line with
international standards. The Mexican Securities Market Law expressly permits
Mexican listed companies, with prior authorization from the CNBV, to include in
their bylaws anti-takeover defenses such as shareholder rights plans, or poison
pills. We amended our bylaws to include certain of these protections at our
general extraordinary shareholders' meeting, which was held on April 30, 2002.
See "Other Information -- Bylaws -- Other Provisions -- Appraisal Rights and
Other Minority Protections" and "Other Information -- Bylaws -- Antitakeover
Protections."

                                    - 117 -


      To offer securities to the public in Mexico, an issuer must meet specific
qualitative and quantitative requirements, and generally only securities for
which an application for registration in the National Registry of Securities
maintained by the CNBV has been approved by the CNBV may be listed on the
Mexican Stock Exchange. This approval does not imply any kind of certification
or assurance related to the merits or the quality of the securities or the
solvency of the issuer.

      In March 2003, the CNBV issued general rules, or General CNBV Rules,
applicable to issuers and other securities market participants. The General CNBV
Rules, which repealed several previously enacted rules, or circulares, of the
CNBV, now provide a single set of rules governing issuers and issuer activity,
among other things.

      The General CNBV Rules have mandated that the Mexican Stock Exchange adopt
minimum requirements for issuers to be registered with the CNBV and have their
securities listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange. To be registered, issuers will
be required to have, among other things:

         -     a minimum number of years of operating history;

         -     a minimum financial condition;

         -     a minimum number of shares or CPOs to be publicly offered to
               public investors;

         -     a minimum price for the securities to be offered;

         -     a minimum of 15% of the capital stock placed among public
               investors;

         -     a minimum of 200 holders of shares or of shares represented by
               CPOs, who are deemed to be public investors under the General
               CNBV Rules, upon the completion of the offering;

         -     the following distribution of the securities offered pursuant to
               an offering in Mexico: (i) at least 50% of the total number of
               securities offered must be placed among investors who acquire
               less than 5% of the total number of securities offered; and (ii)
               no investor may acquire more than 40% of the total number of
               securities offered; and

         -     complied with certain corporate governance requirements.

      To maintain its registration, an issuer will be required to have, among
other things:

         -     a minimum financial condition;

         -     minimum operating conditions, including a minimum number of
               trades;

         -     a minimum trading price of its securities;

         -     a minimum of 12% of the capital stock held by public investors;

         -     a minimum of 100 holders of shares or of shares represented by
               CPOs who are deemed to be public investors under the General CNBV
               Rules; and

         -     complied with certain corporate governance requirements.

      The CNBV has the authority to waive some of these requirements in some
circumstances. Also, some of these requirements are applicable for each series
of shares of the relevant issuer.

      The Mexican Stock Exchange will review annually compliance with the
foregoing and other requirements, some of which may be further reviewed on a
quarterly or semi-annual basis. The Mexican Stock Exchange must inform the CNBV
of the results of its review and this information must, in turn, be disclosed to
investors. If an

                                    - 118 -


issuer fails to comply with any of the foregoing requirements, the Mexican Stock
Exchange will request that the issuer propose a plan to cure the violation. If
the issuer fails to propose such plan, if the plan is not satisfactory to the
Mexican Stock Exchange or if the issuer does not make substantial progress with
respect to the corrective measures, trading of the relevant series of shares on
the Mexican Stock Exchange will be temporarily suspended until the situation is
corrected. In addition, if the issuer fails to propose the plan or ceases to
follow such plan once proposed, the CNBV may suspend or cancel the registration
of the shares. In such event, the issuer must evidence the mechanisms to protect
the rights of public investors and market in general.

      Issuers of listed securities are required to file unaudited quarterly
financial statements and audited annual financial statements as well as various
periodic reports with the CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange. Pursuant to the
General CNBV Rules, the internal regulations of the Mexican Stock Exchange must
be amended to include, among other things, the implementation of the Sistema
Electronico de Envio y Difusion de Informacion, or the SEDI, an automated system
for the electronic transfer of the information required to be filed with the
Mexican Stock Exchange, which will be similar to, but will replace, the existing
Sistema Electronico de Comunicacion con Emisores de Valores, or EMISNET. Issuers
of listed securities must prepare and disclose their financial information by a
Mexican Stock Exchange-approved system known as the Sistema de Informacion
Financiera Computarizada, or Computerized Financial Information System, commonly
known as the SIFIC. Immediately upon its receipt, the Mexican Stock Exchange
makes that information available to the public.

      The General CNBV Rules and the internal regulations of the Mexican Stock
Exchange require issuers of listed securities to file through the SEDI
information on the occurrence of material events affecting the relevant issuer.
Material events include, but are not limited to:

         -     the entering into or termination of joint venture agreements or
               agreements with key suppliers;

         -     the creation of new lines of businesses or services;

         -     significant deviations in expected or projected operating
               performance;

         -     the restructuring or payment of significant indebtedness;

         -     material litigation or labor conflicts;

         -     changes in dividend policy;

         -     the commencement of any insolvency, suspension or bankruptcy
               proceedings;

         -     changes in the directors; and

         -     any other event that may have a material adverse effect on the
               results, financial condition or operations of the relevant
               issuer.

      If there is unusual price volatility of the securities listed, the Mexican
Stock Exchange must immediately request that the issuer inform the public as to
the causes of such volatility or, if the issuer is unaware of such causes, make
a statement to that effect. In addition, the Mexican Stock Exchange must
immediately request that issuers disclose any information relating to relevant
material events, when it deems the information currently disclosed to be
insufficient, as well as instruct issuers to clarify such information when it
deems the information to be confusing. The Mexican Stock Exchange may request
issuers to confirm or deny any material events that have been disclosed to the
public by third parties when it deems that the material event may affect or
influence the securities being traded. The Mexican Stock Exchange must
immediately inform the CNBV of any requests made to issuers. The CNBV may also
make any of these requests directly to issuers. An issuer may delay the
disclosure of material events under some circumstances, including where the
information being offered is not related to transactions that have been
completed.

                                    - 119 -


      The CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange may suspend the dealing in
securities of an issuer:

         -     if the issuer does not adequately disclose a material event; or

         -     upon price or volume volatility or changes in the offer or demand
               in respect of the relevant securities, which are not consistent
               with the historic performance of the securities and could not be
               explained solely by the information made publicly available under
               the General CNBV Rules.

      The Mexican Stock Exchange must immediately inform the CNBV and the
general public of any such suspension. An issuer may request that the CNBV or
the Mexican Stock Exchange resume trading, provided it demonstrates that the
causes triggering the suspension have been resolved and that it is in full
compliance with the periodic reporting requirements under the applicable law. If
its request has been granted, the Mexican Stock Exchange will determine the
appropriate mechanism to resume trading in its securities. If trading of an
issuer is suspended for more than 20 business days and the issuer is authorized
to resume trading without conducting a public offering, the issuer must disclose
through the SEDI, before trading resumes, a description of the causes that
resulted in the suspension and reasons why it is now authorized to resume
trading.

      Likewise, if the securities of an issuer are traded on both the Mexican
Stock Exchange and a foreign securities market, that issuer must file with the
CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange on a simultaneous basis the information that
it is required to file pursuant to the laws and regulations of the relevant
other jurisdiction.

      Pursuant to the Mexican Securities Market Law, shareholders of issuers
listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange must notify the CNBV before effecting
transactions outside of the Mexican Stock Exchange that result in a transfer of
10% or more of an issuer's capital stock. These shareholders must also inform
the CNBV of the results of these transactions within three days of their
completion, or, in the alternative, that these transactions have not been
consummated. The CNBV will notify the Mexican Stock Exchange of these
transactions, without specifying the names of the parties involved. In addition,
the Mexican Securities Market Law provides that the CNBV also has the ability to
determine whether purchasers in these types of transactions must effect these
transactions through a tender offer, as well as the minimum and maximum
percentages of capital stock that may be purchased through any such tender
offer. See "Other Information -- Mexican Securities Market Law."

      In addition, the Mexican Securities Market Law requires shareholders
holding 10% or more of the capital stock of companies listed in the registry to
notify the CNBV of any ownership changes in shares of the company that results
in a transfer of shares representing a beneficial ownership interest of 10% or
more, within ten business days following the transaction in question.

ITEM 10. OTHER INFORMATION

                          MEXICAN SECURITIES MARKET LAW

      The Mexican Congress approved amendments to the Mexican Securities Market
Law, which became effective on June 2, 2001, and have been implemented by
governmental regulations. We amended our bylaws at our annual shareholders'
meeting, which was held on April 30, 2002, to reflect some of these amendments,
including amendments that:

         -     established a Board with at least five and not more than 20
               members and alternate members, of which 25% must qualify as
               "independent directors" under Mexican law;

         -     adopted specified corporate governance measures, which require us
               to establish, among other things, an audit committee, as well as
               more stringent procedures for the approval of transactions and
               arrangements with related parties and extraordinary corporate
               transactions; and

         -     provide additional protections for minority shareholders.

      For a further description of amendments we made to our bylaws in
accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Law, see "Directors, Senior
Management and Employees -- Board of Directors," "Directors, Senior Management
and Employees -- Our Board of Directors -- Committees of Our Board of
Directors," and " -- Bylaws -- Other Provisions -- Share Repurchases" and
"Bylaws -- Other Provisions -- Appraisal Rights and Other Minority Protections."

      In addition, the Mexican Securities Market Law now permits issuers to
include anti-takeover defenses in their bylaws, provided that their bylaws also
include specified minority rights and protections, among other things, and we
have included such provisions in our bylaws. See " -- Bylaws -- Other Provisions
-- Appraisal Rights and Other Minority Protections" and "Bylaws -- Antitakeover
Protections." The Mexican Securities Market Law does not permit issuers to
implement mechanisms where common shares and limited or non-voting shares are
jointly traded or offered to public investors, unless the limited or non-voting
shares are convertible into common shares within a term of up to five years, or
when as a result of the nationality of a given holder, the shares or the
securities representing the shares limit the right to vote in order to comply
with applicable foreign investment regulations. In addition, the aggregate
amount of shares with limited or non-voting rights may not exceed 25% of the
total shares held by public investors. As a result of applicable grandfathering
provisions, our existing CPO structure will not be affected by this aspect of
the Mexican Securities Market Law.

      The Mexican Securities Market Law imposes some restrictions on
shareholders of issuers listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange. Shareholders of
issuers listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange must notify the CNBV before
effecting transactions outside of the Mexican Stock Exchange that result in a
transfer of 10% or more of an issuer's capital stock. These shareholders must
also inform the CNBV of the results of these transactions within three days of
their completion, or, in the alternative, that these transactions have not been
consummated. The CNBV will notify the Mexican Stock Exchange of these
transactions without specifying the names of the parties involved. The CNBV also
has the ability to determine whether purchasers in these types of transactions
must effect these transactions through a tender offer, as well as the minimum
and maximum percentages of capital stock that may be purchased through any such
tender offer.

      On April 25, 2002, the CNBV issued general rules to regulate public tender
offers and the obligation to disclose share acquisitions above certain
thresholds, as well as share acquisitions of the capital stock of public
companies by related parties. Subject to certain exceptions, any acquisition of
shares of a public company which increases the acquiror's ownership to 10% or
more, but not more than 30%, of the company's outstanding capital stock must be
disclosed to the CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange by no later than the day
following the acquisition. Any acquisition of shares by a related party that
increases such party's ownership interest in a public company by 5% or more of
the company's outstanding capital stock must also be disclosed to the CNBV and
the Mexican Stock Exchange by no later than the day following the acquisition.
In addition, any intended acquisition of shares of a public company which
increases the potential acquiror's ownership to 30% or more, but not more than
50%, of the

                                    - 121 -


company's voting shares requires the potential acquiror to make a tender offer
for the greater of (i) the percentage of the capital stock intended to be
acquired or (ii) 10% of the outstanding capital stock. Finally, any intended
acquisition of shares of a public company which increases the potential
acquiror's ownership to more than 50% of the company's voting shares requires
the potential acquiror to make a tender offer for 100% of the outstanding
capital stock. Bylaw provisions regarding mandatory tender offers in the case of
these acquisitions may differ from the requirements summarized above, provided
that they are more protective to minority shareholders than those afforded by
law. See " -- Bylaws -- Antitakeover Protections."

                                     BYLAWS

      Set forth below is a brief summary of some significant provisions of our
bylaws and Mexican law. This description does not purport to be complete, and is
qualified by reference in its entirety to our bylaws, which have been filed as
an exhibit to this annual report and Mexican law. For a description of the
provisions of our bylaws relating to our Board of Directors, Executive Committee
and statutory auditors, see "Directors, Senior Management and Employees."

ORGANIZATION AND REGISTER

      Televisa is a sociedad anonima, or limited liability stock corporation,
organized under the laws of Mexico in accordance with the Mexican Companies Law.
Televisa was incorporated under Public Deed Number 30,200, dated December 19,
1990, granted before Notary Public Number 73 of Mexico City, D.F., and
registered with the Public Registry of Commerce of Mexico City, under Commercial
Page (folio mercantil) Number 142,164. We have a general corporate purpose, the
specifics of which can be found in Article Four of our bylaws.

      We maintain a stock registry, and in accordance with Mexican law, we only
recognize those holders listed in our stock registry as our shareholders. Our
shareholders may hold their share in the form of physical certificates or
through book-entries with institutions that have accounts with Indeval. The CPO
Trustee is the holder of record for Shares represented by CPOs. Accounts may be
maintained at Indeval by brokers, banks and other entities approved by the CNBV.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS

      Holders of A Shares. Holders of A Shares have the right to vote on all
matters subject to shareholder approval at any general shareholders' meeting and
have the right, voting as a class, to appoint eleven members of our Board of
Directors and the corresponding alternate directors. In addition to requiring
approval by a majority of all Shares entitled to vote together on a particular
corporate matter, certain corporate matters must be approved by a majority of
the holders of A Shares voting separately. These matters include mergers,
dividend payments, spin-offs, changes in corporate purpose, changes of
nationality and amendments to the anti-takeover provisions of our bylaws.

      Holders of B Shares. Holders of B Shares have the right to vote on all
matters subject to shareholder approval at any general shareholders' meeting and
have the right, voting as a class, to appoint five members of our Board of
Directors and the corresponding alternate directors. The five directors and
corresponding alternate directors elected by the holders of the B Shares will be
elected at a shareholders' meeting that must be held within the first four
months after the end of each year beginning in 2005.

      Holders of D Shares and L Shares. Holders of D Shares, voting as a class,
are entitled to vote at special meetings to elect two of the members of our
Board of Directors and the corresponding alternate directors, each of which must
be an independent director. In addition, holders of D Shares are entitled to
vote on the following matters at extraordinary general meetings:

         -     our transformation from one type of company to another;

         -     any merger (even if we are the surviving entity);

                                    - 122 -


         -     extension of our existence beyond our prescribed duration;

         -     our dissolution before our prescribed duration (which is
               currently December 2089);

         -     a change in our corporate purpose;

         -     a change in our nationality; and

         -     the cancellation from registration of the D Shares or the
               securities which represent the D Shares with the securities or
               special section of the National Registry of Securities, or NRS,
               and with any other Mexican or foreign stock exchange in which
               such shares or securities are registered.

      Holders of L Shares, voting as a class, are entitled to vote at special
meetings to elect two of the members of our Board of Directors and the
corresponding alternate directors, each of which must be an independent
director. Holders of L Shares are also entitled to vote at extraordinary general
meetings on the following matters:

         -     our transformation from one type of company to another;

         -     any merger in which we are not the surviving entity; and

         -     the cancellation from registration of the L Shares or the
               securities that represent the L Shares with the special section
               of the NRS.

      The two directors and corresponding alternate directors elected by each of
the holders of the D Shares and the L Shares are elected annually at a special
meeting of those holders. Special meetings of holders of D Shares and L Shares
must also be held to approve the cancellation from registration of the D Shares
or L Shares or the securities representing any of such shares with the
securities and/or special sections of the NRS, as the case may be, and in the
case of D Shares, with any other Mexican or foreign stock exchange in which such
shares or securities are registered. All other matters on which holders of L
Shares or D Shares are entitled to vote must be considered at an extraordinary
general meeting. Holders of L Shares and D Shares are not entitled to attend or
to address meetings of shareholders at which they are not entitled to vote.
Under Mexican law, holders of L Shares and D Shares are entitled to exercise
certain minority protections. See " -- Other Provisions -- Appraisal Rights and
Other Minority Protections."

      Other Rights of Shareholders. Under Mexican law, holders of shares of any
series are also entitled to vote as a class in a special meeting governed by the
same rules that apply to extraordinary general meetings, as described below, on
any action that would prejudice the rights of holders of shares of such series,
but not rights of holders of shares of other series, and a holder of shares of
such series would be entitled to judicial relief against any such action taken
without such a vote. Generally, the determination of whether a particular
shareholder action requires a class vote on these grounds could initially be
made by the Board of Directors or other party calling for shareholder action. In
some cases, under the Mexican Securities Market Law and the Mexican Companies
Law, the Board of Directors, the statutory auditors or a Mexican court on behalf
of those shareholders representing 10% of our capital stock could call a special
meeting. A negative determination would be subject to judicial challenge by an
affected shareholder, and the necessity for a class vote would ultimately be
determined by a court. There are no other procedures for determining whether a
particular proposed shareholder action requires a class vote, and Mexican law
does not provide extensive guidance on the criteria to be applied in making such
a determination.

      General shareholders' meetings may be ordinary general meetings or
extraordinary general meetings. Extraordinary general meetings are those called
to consider specific matters specified in Article 182 of the Mexican Companies
Law and our bylaws, including, among others, amendments to our bylaws, our
dissolution, liquidation or split-up, our merger and transformation from one
form of company to another, increases and reductions in our capital stock, the
approval of certain acquisitions of shares, including a change of control, as
set forth in the antitakeover provisions in our bylaws and any action for civil
liabilities against the members of our Board of Directors, members of our Audit
Committee or our statutory auditors. In addition, our bylaws require an

                                    - 123 -


extraordinary general meeting to consider the cancellation of registration of
the D Shares or L Shares or the securities representing these Shares with the
securities and/or special sections of the NRS, as the case may be, and in the
case of D Shares, with any other Mexican or foreign stock exchange in which such
Shares or securities are registered. General meetings called to consider all
other matters are ordinary meetings which are held at least once each year
within four months following the end of each fiscal year. Shareholders may be
represented at any shareholders' meeting by completing a form of proxy provided
by us, which proxy is available within fifteen days prior to such meeting, and
designating a representative to vote on their behalf. The form of proxy must
comply with certain content requirements as set forth in the Mexican Securities
Market Law, as amended, and in our bylaws.

      Holders of CPOs. Holders of CPOs who are Mexican nationals or Mexican
corporations whose bylaws exclude foreign ownership of their shares are entitled
to exercise voting rights with respect to the A Shares, B Shares, D Shares and L
Shares underlying their CPOs. The CPO Trustee will vote such shares as directed
by Mexican holders of CPOs, which must provide evidence of Mexican nationality.
Non-Mexican holders of CPOs may only vote the L Shares held in the CPO Trust and
are not entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the A Shares, B
Shares and D Shares held in the CPO Trust. Voting rights in respect of these A
Shares, B Shares and D Shares may only be exercised by the CPO Trustee. A
Shares, B Shares and D Shares underlying the CPOs of non-Mexican holders or
holders that do not give timely instructions as to voting of such Shares, (a)
will be voted at special meetings of A Shares, B Shares or D Shares, as the case
may be, as instructed by the CPO Trust's Technical Committee (which consists of
members of the Board of Directors and/or Executive Committee, who must be
Mexican nationals), and (b) will be voted at any general meeting where such
series has the right to vote in the same manner as the majority of the
outstanding A Shares held by Mexican nationals or Mexican corporations
(directly, or through the CPO Trust, as the case may be) are voted at the
relevant meeting. L Shares underlying the CPOs of any holders that do not give
timely instructions as to the voting of such Shares will be voted, at special
meetings of L Shares and at general extraordinary meetings where L Shares have
voting rights, as instructed by the Technical Committee of the CPO Trust. The
CPO Trustee must receive voting instructions five business days prior to the
shareholders' meeting. Holders of CPOs that are Mexican nationals or Mexican
corporations whose bylaws exclude foreign ownership of their Shares also must
provide evidence of nationality, such as a copy of a valid Mexican passport or
birth certificate, for individuals, or a copy of the bylaws, for corporations.

      As described in "Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions," A
Shares held through the Shareholder Trust constitute a majority of the A Shares
whose holders are entitled to vote them, because non-Mexican holders of CPOs and
GDSs are not permitted to vote the underlying A Shares. Accordingly, the vote of
A Shares held through the Shareholder Trust generally will determine how the A
Shares underlying our CPOs are voted. B Shares held through the Shareholder
Trust constitute 13.28% of the outstanding B Shares but represent a greater
percentage of B Shares whose holders are entitled to vote them, because
non-Mexican holders of CPOs and GDSs are not permitted to vote the underlying B
Shares.

      Holders of GDRs. Global Depositary Receipts, or GDRs evidencing GDSs are
issued by the Depositary, JPMorgan Chase Bank, pursuant to the Deposit Agreement
we entered into with the Depositary and all holders from time to time of GDSs.
Each GDR evidences a specified number of GDSs. A GDR may represent any number of
GDSs. Only persons in whose names GDRs are registered on the books of the
Depositary will be treated by us and the Depositary as owners and holders of
GDRs. Each GDS represents the right to receive 20 CPOs which will be credited to
the account of Banco Inbursa, S.A., the Custodian, maintained with Indeval for
such purpose. Each CPO represents financial interests in, and limited voting
rights with respect to, 25 A Shares, 22 B Shares, 35 L Shares and 35 D Shares
held pursuant to the CPO Trust.

      The Depositary will mail information on shareholders' meetings to all
holders of GDRs. At least six business days prior to the relevant shareholders'
meeting, GDR holders may instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the
voting rights, if any, pertaining to the CPOs represented by their GDSs, and the
underlying Shares. Since the CPO Trustee must also receive voting instructions
five business days prior to the shareholders' meeting, the Depositary may be
unable to vote the CPOs and underlying Shares in accordance with any written
instructions. Holders that are Mexican nationals or Mexican corporations whose
bylaws exclude foreign ownership of their Shares are entitled to exercise voting
rights with respect to the A Shares, B Shares, D Shares and L Shares underlying
the CPOs represented by their GDSs. Such Mexican holders also must provide
evidence of nationality,

                                    - 124 -


such as a copy of a valid Mexican passport or birth certificate, for
individuals, or a copy of the bylaws, for corporations.

      Non-Mexican holders may exercise voting rights only with respect to L
Shares underlying the CPOs represented by their GDSs. They may not direct the
CPO Trustee as to how to vote the A Shares, B Shares or D Shares represented by
CPOs or attend shareholders' meetings. Under the terms of the CPO Trust
Agreement, the CPO Trustee will vote the A Shares, B Shares, D Shares and L
Shares represented by CPOs held by non-Mexican holders (including holders of
GDRs) as described under " -- Holders of CPOs." If the Depositary does not
timely receive instructions from a Mexican or Non-Mexican holder of GDRs as to
the exercise of voting rights relating to the A Shares, B Shares, D Shares or L
Shares underlying the CPOs, as the case may be, in the relevant shareholders'
meeting then, if requested in writing by us, the Depositary will give a
discretionary proxy to a person designated by us to vote the Shares. If no such
written request is made by us, the Depositary will not represent or vote,
attempt to represent or vote any right that attaches to, or instruct the CPO
Trustee to represent or vote, the Shares underlying the CPOs in the relevant
shareholders' meeting and, as a result, the underlying shares will be voted in
the manner described under " -- Holders of CPOs" with respect to shares for
which timely instructions as to voting are not given.

      If the Depositary does not timely receive instructions from a Mexican or
non-Mexican holder of GDRs as to the exercise of voting rights relating to the
underlying CPOs in the relevant CPO holders' meeting, the Depositary and the
Custodian will take such actions as are necessary to cause such CPOs to be
counted for purposes of satisfying applicable quorum requirements and, unless we
in our sole discretion have given prior written notice to the Depositary and the
Custodian to the contrary, vote them in the same manner as the majority of the
CPOs are voted at the relevant CPOs holders' meeting.

      Under the terms of the CPO Trust, beginning in December 2008, a
non-Mexican holder of CPOs or GDSs may instruct the CPO Trustee to request that
we issue and deliver certificates representing each of the Shares underlying its
CPOs so that the CPO Trustee may sell, to a third party entitled to hold the
Shares, all of those Shares and deliver to the holder any proceeds derived from
the sale.

DIVIDEND RIGHTS

      At our annual ordinary general shareholders' meeting, our Board of
Directors is required to submit our financial statements from the previous
fiscal year to the holders of our A Shares and B Shares voting together and a
majority of the A Shares voting separately. Once our shareholders approve these
financial statements, they must then allocate our net profits for the previous
fiscal year. Under Mexican law, at least 5% of our net profits must be allocated
to a legal reserve, until the amount of this reserve equals 20% of our paid-in
capital stock. Thereafter, our shareholders may allocate our net profits to any
special reserve, including a reserve for share repurchases. After this
allocation, the remainder of our net profits will be available for distribution
as dividends. The vote of the majority of the A Shares and B Shares voting
together, and a majority of the A Shares voting separately, is necessary to
approve dividend payments. As described below, in the event that dividends are
declared, holders of D Shares will have preferential rights to dividends as
compared to holders of A Shares, B Shares and L Shares. Holders of A Shares, B
Shares and L Shares have the same financial or economic rights, including the
participation in any of our profits.

PREFERENTIAL RIGHTS OF D SHARES

      Holders of D Shares are entitled to receive a cumulative fixed preferred
annual dividend in the amount of Ps. 0.00034177575 per D Share before any
dividends are payable in respect of A Shares, B Shares and L Shares. If we pay
any dividends in addition to the D Share fixed preferred dividend, then such
dividends shall be allocated as follows:

         -     first, to the payment of dividends with respect to the A Shares,
               the B Shares and the L Shares, in an equal amount per share, up
               to the amount of the D Share fixed preferred dividend; and

                                    - 125 -


         -     second, to the payment of dividends with respect to the A Shares,
               B Shares, D Shares and L Shares, such that the dividend per share
               is equal.

      Upon any dissolution or liquidation of our company, holders of D Shares
are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to:

         -     accrued but unpaid dividends in respect of their D Shares; plus

         -     the theoretical value of their D Shares as set forth in our
               bylaws. See "Other Provisions -- Dissolution or Liquidation."

LIMITATION ON CAPITAL INCREASES

      Our bylaws provide that, in the event shares of a given series are issued
as a result of a capital increase (in respect of a cash capital contribution),
each holder of shares of that series will have a preferential right to subscribe
to new shares of that series, in proportion to the number of such holder's
existing Shares of that series. In addition, primary issuances of A Shares, B
Shares, D Shares and L Shares in the form of CPOs may be limited under the
Mexican Securities Market Law, as amended. As a result of grandfathering
provisions, our existing CPO structure will not be affected by the amendments to
the law. However, in the case of primary issuances of additional A Shares, B
Shares, L Shares and D Shares in the form of CPOs, any new L Shares and D Shares
may be required to be converted into A Shares or other voting stock within a
term specified by the CNBV, which in no event shall exceed five years. Moreover,
under the Mexican Securities Market Law, as amended, the aggregate amount of
shares of an issuer with limited or non-voting rights may not exceed 25% of the
total shares held by public investors. The vote of the holders of a majority of
the A Shares is necessary to approve capital increases.

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

      In the event of a capital increase, a holder of existing shares of a given
series has a preferential right to subscribe to a sufficient number of shares of
the same series in order to maintain the holder's existing proportionate
holdings of shares of that series. Shareholders must exercise their preemptive
rights within the time period fixed by our shareholders at the meeting approving
the issuance of additional shares. This period must continue for at least
fifteen days following the publication of notice of the issuance in the Diario
Oficial de la Federacion and in a newspaper of general circulation in Mexico
City. Under Mexican law, shareholders cannot waive their preemptive rights in
advance or be represented by an instrument that is negotiable separately from
the corresponding share.

      U.S. holders of GDSs may exercise preemptive rights only if we register
any newly issued shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or qualify
for an exemption from registration. We intend to evaluate at the time of any
offering of preemptive rights the costs and potential liabilities associated
with registering additional shares. In addition, if our shareholders' meeting
approves the issuance of shares of a particular series, holders of shares of
other series may be offered shares of that particular series.

LIMITATIONS ON SHARE OWNERSHIP

      Ownership by non-Mexicans of shares of Mexican enterprises is regulated by
the Foreign Investment Law and the accompanying Foreign Investment Regulations.
The Economics Ministry and the Foreign Investment Commission are responsible for
the administration of the Foreign Investment Law and the Foreign Investment
Regulations. The Foreign Investment Law reserves certain economic activities
exclusively for the Mexican State, certain other activities exclusively for
Mexican individuals or Mexican corporations and limits the participation of
non-Mexican investors to certain percentages in regard to other enterprises
engaged in activities specified therein. Foreign investors may freely
participate in up to 100% of the capital stock of Mexican companies or entities
except for those existing companies engaged in specific activities, as described
below and those with assets exceeding specified amounts established annually by
the Foreign Investment Commission, in which case an approval from the Foreign
Investment Commission will be necessary in order for foreign investment to
exceed 49% of the capital stock. The Foreign Investment Law reserves certain
economic activities exclusively for the Mexican state and

                                    - 126 -


reserves certain other activities (including television and radio broadcasting)
exclusively for Mexican nationals, consisting of Mexican individuals and Mexican
corporations the charters of which contain a prohibition on ownership by
non-Mexicans of the corporation's capital stock (a "foreign exclusion clause").
However, the Foreign Investment Law grants broad authority to the Foreign
Investment Commission to allow foreign investors to own specified interests in
the capital of certain Mexican enterprises. In particular, the Foreign
Investment Law provides that certain investments are considered "neutral
investments" and are not included in the calculation of the foreign investment
percentage for the relevant Mexican entity.

      In order to comply with these restrictions, we have limited the ownership
of our A Shares and B Shares to Mexican individuals, Mexican companies the
charters of which contain a foreign exclusion clause, credit institutions acting
as trustees (such as the CPO Trustee) in accordance with the Foreign Investment
Law and the Foreign Investment Regulations, and trusts or stock purchase,
investment and retirement plans for Mexican employees. The criteria for an
investor to qualify as Mexican under our bylaws are stricter than those
generally applicable under the Foreign Investment Law and Foreign Investment
Regulations. A holder that acquires A Shares or B Shares in violation of the
restrictions on non-Mexican ownership will have none of the rights of a
shareholder with respect to those A Shares or B Shares and could also be subject
to monetary sanctions. The D Shares are subject to the same restrictions on
ownership as the A Shares and B Shares. However, the foregoing limitations do
not affect the ability of non-Mexican investors to hold A Shares, B Shares, D
Shares and L Shares through CPOs, or L Shares directly, because such instruments
constitute a "neutral investment" and do not affect control of the issuing
company, pursuant to the exceptions contained in the Foreign Investment Law. The
sum of the total outstanding number of A Shares and B Shares is required to
exceed at all times the sum of the total outstanding L Shares and D Shares.

      The Foreign Investment Law and Foreign Investment Regulations also require
that we and the CPO Trust register with the National Registry of Foreign
Investments. In addition to the limitations established by the Foreign
Investment Law, the Mexican Federal Radio and Television Law provides
restrictions on ownership by non-Mexicans of shares of Mexican enterprises
holding concessions for radio and television such as those held indirectly by
us. Non-Mexican states and governments are prohibited under our bylaws and
Mexican Federal Radio and Television Law from owning Shares of Televisa and are,
therefore, prohibited from being the beneficial or record owners of the A
Shares, B Shares, D Shares, L Shares, CPOs and GDSs. We have been advised by our
Mexican counsel, Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C., that ownership of
the A Shares, B Shares, D Shares, L Shares, CPOs and GDSs by pension or
retirement funds organized for the benefit of employees of non-Mexican state,
municipal or other governmental agencies will not be considered as ownership by
non-Mexican states or governments for the purpose of our bylaws or the Radio and
Television Law.

      We may restrict transfers or, to the extent permitted under applicable
law, cause the mandatory sale or disposition of CPOs and GDRs where such
transfer or ownership, as the case may be, might result in ownership of CPOs or
GDRs exceeding the limits under applicable law or our bylaws, the CPO Trust
Agreement or the CPO Deed. Non-Mexican states and governments are prohibited
under our bylaws and Radio and Television Law from owning our Shares and are,
therefore, prohibited from being beneficial or record owners of GDRs.

OTHER PROVISIONS

      Forfeiture of Shares. As required by Mexican law, our bylaws provide that
for L Shares and CPOs, our non-Mexican shareholders formally agree with the
Foreign Affairs Ministry:

         -     to be considered as Mexicans with respect to the L Shares and
               CPOs that they acquire or hold, as well as to the property,
               rights, concessions, participations or interests owned by us or
               to the rights and obligations derived from any agreements we have
               with the Mexican government; and

         -     not to invoke the protection of their own governments with
               respect to their ownership of L Shares and CPOs.

Failure to comply is subject to a penalty of forfeiture of such a shareholders'
capital interests in favor of Mexico. In the opinion of Mijares, Angoitia,
Cortes y Fuentes, S.C., our Mexican counsel, under this provision a non-Mexican

                                    - 127 -


shareholder is deemed to have agreed not to invoke the protection of its own
government by asking such government to interpose a diplomatic claim against the
Mexican government with respect to the shareholders' rights as a shareholder,
but is not deemed to have waived any other rights it may have, including any
rights under the U.S. securities laws, with respect to its investment in
Televisa. If the shareholder should invoke governmental protection in violation
of this agreement, its shares could be forfeited to the Mexican government.

      Exclusive Jurisdiction. Our bylaws provide that legal action relating to
the execution, interpretation or performance of the bylaws shall be brought only
in courts located in Mexico City.

      Duration. Our corporate existence under our bylaws continues until 2089.

      Dissolution or Liquidation. Upon any dissolution or liquidation of our
company, our shareholders will appoint one or more liquidators at an
extraordinary general shareholders' meeting to wind up our affairs. The approval
of holders of the majority of the A Shares is necessary to appoint or remove any
liquidator. Upon a dissolution or liquidation, holders of D Shares will be
entitled to both accrued but unpaid dividends in respect of their D Shares, plus
the theoretical value of their D Shares (as set forth in our bylaws). The
theoretical value of our D Shares is Ps. 0.00683551495 per share. Thereafter, a
payment per share will be made to each of the holders of A Shares, B Shares and
L Shares equivalent to the payment received by each of the holders of D Shares.
The remainder will be distributed equally among all shareholders in proportion
to their number of Shares and amount paid.

      Redemption. Our bylaws provide that we may redeem our Shares with
distributable profits without reducing our capital stock by way of a shareholder
resolution at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting. In accordance with Mexican
law and our bylaws:

         -     any redemption shall be made on a pro-rata basis among all of our
               shareholders;

         -     to the extent that a redemption is effected through a public
               tender offer on the Mexican Stock Exchange, the shareholders'
               resolution approving the redemption may empower our Board to
               specify the number of shares to be redeemed and appoint the
               related intermediary or purchase agent; and

         -     any redeemed shares must be cancelled.

      Share Repurchases. As required by Mexican law, our bylaws provide that we
may repurchase our Shares on the Mexican Stock Exchange at then prevailing
market prices. The amount of capital stock allocated to share repurchases and
the amount of the corresponding reserve created for this purpose is determined
annually by our shareholders at a ordinary general shareholders' meeting. The
aggregate amount of resources allocated to share repurchases in any given year
cannot exceed the total amount of our net profits in any given year, including
retained earnings. Share repurchases must be charged to either our net worth if
the repurchased Shares remain in our possession or our capital stock if the
repurchased Shares are converted into treasury shares, in which case our capital
stock is reduced automatically in an amount equal to the theoretical value of
any repurchased Shares, if any. Any surplus is charged to the reserve for share
repurchases. If the purchase price of the Shares is less than the theoretical
value of the repurchased Shares, our capital stock account will be affected by
an amount equal to the theoretical value of the repurchased Shares. Under
Mexican law, we are not required to create a special reserve for the repurchase
of shares, nor do we need the approval of our Board to effect share repurchases.
In addition, any repurchased Shares cannot be represented at any shareholders'
meeting.

      Conflicts of Interest. Under the Mexican Securities Market Law, any
shareholder or director that votes on a transaction in which his, her or its
interests conflict with our interests may be liable for damages, but only if the
transaction would not have been approved without his, her or its vote. In
addition, any member of the Board of Directors that votes on a transaction in
which his, her or its interests conflict, with our interests may be liable for
damages. Our existing bylaws do not contain any provisions that govern or limit
the ability of our directors or shareholders to vote on transactions in which
their interests conflict with our interests. In addition, our existing bylaws do
not contain any provisions that govern or limit the ability of our directors, in
the absence of an

                                    - 128 -


independent quorum, to borrow from us or to vote compensation to themselves or
any other member of our Board of Directors or any committee of our Board of
Directors. In addition, pursuant to the Mexican Securities Market Law our Audit
Committee must review and approve transactions and arrangements with our major
shareholders, directors, executive officers and other related parties and
prepare and render statements to the Board as to the fairness of transactions
and arrangements with related parties, and these transactions and arrangements
must be approved by our Board of Directors. Members of our Board, members of our
Audit Committee and our Statutory Auditor could be liable to our shareholders
for breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation to the extent that these
persons approve transactions in which they have a conflict of interest.

      Appraisal Rights and Other Minority Protections. Whenever our shareholders
approve a change in our corporate purpose or jurisdiction of organization or our
transformation from one type of company to another, any shareholder entitled to
vote that did not vote in favor of these matters has the right to receive
payment for its A Shares, B Shares, D Shares or L Shares in an amount calculated
in accordance with Mexican law. However, shareholders must exercise their
appraisal rights within fifteen days after the shareholders' meeting at which
the matter was approved. Because the holders of L Shares and D Shares may only
vote in limited circumstances, appraisal rights are generally not available to
them. See " -- Voting Rights and Shareholders' Meetings."

      Because the CPO Trustee must vote at a general shareholders' meeting, the
A Shares, B Shares and D Shares held by non-Mexicans in the CPO Trust in the
same manner as the majority of the A Shares held by Mexican nationals (directly,
or through the CPO Trust, as the case may be), the A Shares, B Shares and D
Shares underlying CPOs held by non-Mexicans will not be voted against any change
that triggers the appraisal rights of the holders of these Shares. Therefore,
these appraisal rights will not be available to holders of CPOs (or GDRs) with
respect to A Shares, B Shares or D Shares. The CPO Trustee will exercise such
other corporate rights at special shareholders' meetings with respect to the
underlying A Shares, B Shares and D Shares as may be directed by the Technical
Committee of the CPO trust.

      Our bylaws include provisions that permit:

      -     holders of at least 10% of our outstanding capital stock to call a
            shareholders' meeting in which they are entitled to vote;

      -     subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements under Mexican
            law, holders of at least 15% of our outstanding capital stock to
            bring an action for civil liabilities against our directors;

      -     holders of at least 10% of our Shares that are entitled to vote and
            are represented at a shareholders' meeting to request postponement
            of resolutions with respect to any matter on which they were not
            sufficiently informed; and

      -     subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements under Mexican
            law, holders of at least 20% of our outstanding capital stock to
            contest and suspend any shareholder resolution.

      See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related to Our
Securities -- The Protections Afforded to Minority Shareholders in Mexico Are
Different From Those in the U.S." In addition, in accordance with the Mexican
Securities Market Law, we are also subject to certain corporate governance
requirements, including the requirement to maintain an audit committee and to
elect independent directors. The protections afforded to minority shareholders
under Mexican law are generally different from those in the U.S. and many other
jurisdictions. Substantive Mexican law concerning fiduciary duties of directors
has not been the subject of extensive judicial interpretation in Mexico, unlike
many states in the U.S. where duties of care and loyalty elaborated by judicial
decisions help to shape the rights of minority shareholders. Mexican civil
procedure does not contemplate class actions or shareholder derivative actions,
which permit shareholders in U.S. courts to bring actions on behalf of other
shareholders or to enforce rights of the corporation itself. Shareholders in
Mexico also cannot challenge corporate actions taken at shareholders' meetings
unless they meet stringent procedural requirements. See " -- Voting Rights and
Shareholders' Meetings." As a result of these factors, it is generally more
difficult for our minority shareholders to enforce rights against us or our
directors or Major Shareholders than it is for shareholders

                                    - 129 -


of a corporation established under the laws of a state of the U.S. In addition,
under U.S. securities laws, as a foreign private issuer we are exempt from
certain rules that apply to domestic U.S. issuers with equity securities
registered under the Security Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange
Act, including the proxy solicitation rules. We are also exempt from many of the
corporate governance requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.

ANTITAKEOVER PROTECTIONS

      General. Our bylaws provide that, subject to certain exceptions, (i) any
person, entity or group of persons and/or entities that wishes to acquire
beneficial ownership of common Shares (as defined below) which, when coupled
with common Shares previously beneficially owned by such persons or their
affiliates, represent 10% or more of our outstanding common Shares, (ii) any
competitor or group of competitors that wishes to acquire beneficial ownership
of Shares which, when coupled with Shares previously beneficially owned by such
competitor, group of competitors or their affiliates, represent 5% or more of
our outstanding capital stock, (iii) any person, entity or group of persons
and/or entities that wishes to acquire beneficial ownership of Shares
representing 10% or more of our outstanding Shares, and (iv) any competitor or
group of competitors that wishes to acquire beneficial ownership of Shares
representing 5% or more of our capital stock, must obtain the prior approval of
our Board of Directors and/or of our shareholders, as the case may be, subject
to certain exceptions summarized below. Holders that acquire Shares in violation
of these requirements will not be considered the beneficial owners of such
Shares under our bylaws and will not be registered in our stock registry.
Accordingly, these holders will not be able to vote such Shares or receive any
dividends, distributions or other rights in respect of these Shares. In
addition, pursuant to our bylaws, these holders will be obligated to pay us a
penalty in an amount equal to the market value of the Shares so acquired.
Pursuant to our bylaws, "Shares" are defined as the shares (of any class or
series) representing our capital stock, and any instruments or securities that
represent such shares or that grant any right with respect to or are convertible
into those shares, expressly including CPOs.

      Pursuant to our bylaws, a "competitor" is generally defined as any person
or entity who, directly or indirectly, is engaged in any of the following
businesses or activities: television production and broadcasting, pay television
production, program licensing, direct-to-home satellite services, publishing
(newspaper and/or magazine), publishing distribution, music recording, cable
television, the transmission of programming and/or other content by any other
means known or to be known, radio broadcasting and production, the promotion of
professional sports and other entertainment events, paging services, production,
feature film/motion picture production and distribution, dubbing and/or the
operation of an Internet portal. A "competitor" is also defined to include any
person, entity and/or group that is engaged in any type of business or activity
in which we may be engaged from time to time and from which we derive 5% or more
of our consolidated income.

      Board Notices, Meetings, Quorum Requirements and Approvals. To obtain the
prior approval of our Board, a potential acquiror must properly deliver a
written notice that states, among other things: (i) the number and class/type of
our Shares it beneficially owns, (ii) the percentage of Shares it beneficially
owns with respect to both our outstanding capital stock and the respective
class/type of our Shares, (iii) the number and class/type of Shares it intends
to acquire, (iv) the number and class/type of Shares it intends to grant or
share a common interest or right, (v) its identity, or in the case of an
acquiror which is a corporation, trust or legal entity, its shareholders or
beneficiaries as well as the identity and nationality of each person effectively
controlling such corporation, trust or legal entity, (vi) its ability to acquire
our Shares in accordance with our bylaws and Mexican law, (vii) its source of
financing the intended acquisition, (viii) if it has obtained any financing from
one of its related parties for the payment of the Shares, (ix) the purpose of
the intended acquisition, (x) if it intends to acquire additional common Shares
in the future, which coupled with the current intended acquisition of common
Shares and the common Shares previously beneficially owned by the potential
acquiror, would result in ownership of 20% or more of our common Shares, (xi) if
it intends to acquire control of us in the future, (xii) if the acquiror is our
competitor or if it has any direct or indirect economic interest in or family
relationship with one of our competitors, and (xiii) the identity of the
financial institution, if any, that will act as the underwriter or broker in
connection with any tender offer.

      Either the Chairman, the Secretary or the Alternate Secretary of our Board
of Directors must call a Board meeting within 10 calendar days following the
receipt of the written notice and the Board meeting must be held within 45
calendar days following the call. Action by written consent is not permitted.
With the exception of

                                    - 130 -


acquisitions that must be approved by the general extraordinary shareholders'
meeting as described below in "Shareholder Notices, Meetings, Quorum
Requirements and Approvals," in order to proceed with any acquisition of Shares
that require Board authorization as set forth in our bylaws, such acquisition
must be approved by at least the majority of the members of our Board present at
a meeting at which at least 75% of the members of our Board are present. Such
acquisitions must be acted upon by our Board within 60 calendar days following
the receipt of the written notice described above, unless the Board determines
that it does not have sufficient information upon which to base its decision. In
such case, the Board shall deliver a written request to the potential acquiror
for any additional information that it deems necessary to make its
determination. The 60 calendar days referred to above will commence following
the receipt of the additional information from the potential acquiror to render
its decision.

            Shareholder Notices, Meetings, Quorum Requirements and Approvals. In
the event (i) of a proposed acquisition of Shares that would result in a "change
of control," (ii) that our Board cannot hold a Board meeting for any reason,
(iii) of a proposed acquisition by a competitor and having certain
characteristics, or (iv) that the Board determines that the proposed acquisition
must be approved by our shareholders at a general extraordinary shareholders'
meeting, among others, then the proposed acquisition must be approved by the
holders of at least 75% of our outstanding common Shares at a general
extraordinary shareholders' meeting (both in the case of first and subsequent
calls) at which the holders of at least 85% of our outstanding common Shares are
present. In addition, any proposed merger, spin-off, or capital increase or
decrease which results in a change of control must also be approved by the
holders of at least 75% of our outstanding common Shares at a general
extraordinary shareholders' meeting (both in the case of first and subsequent
calls) at which the holders of at least 85% of our outstanding common Shares are
present. Pursuant to our bylaws, a "change of control" is defined as the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the acquisition or transfer of ownership
of a majority of our outstanding common Shares, (ii) the ability of a person,
entity or group, other than the person who currently has the ability to,
directly or indirectly, elect a majority of the members of our Board of
Directors, to elect a majority of the members of our Board of Directors or (iii)
the ability of a person, entity or group, other than the person who currently
has the ability to, directly or indirectly, determine our administrative
decisions or policies, to determine our administrative decisions or policies. In
the event that the general extraordinary shareholders' meeting must approve the
proposed acquisition, either the Chairman, the Secretary or the Alternate
Secretary of our Board of Directors must publish a call for a general
extraordinary shareholders' meeting in the Official Gazette of the Federation
and two other newspapers of general circulation in Mexico City at least 30
calendar days prior to such meeting (both in the case of first and subsequent
calls). Once the call for the general extraordinary shareholders' meeting has
been published, all information related to the agenda for the meeting must be
available for review by the holders of common Shares at the offices of our
Secretary.

            Mandatory Tender Offers in the Case of Certain Acquisitions. If
either our Board of Directors or our shareholders at a general extraordinary
shareholders' meeting, as the case may be, authorize an acquisition of common
Shares which increases the acquiror's ownership to 20% or more, but not more
than 50%, of our outstanding common Shares, without such acquisition resulting
in a change of control, then the acquiror must effect its acquisition by way of
a cash tender offer for a specified number of Shares equal to the greater of (x)
the percentage of common Shares intended to be acquired or (y) 10% of our
outstanding capital stock. In the event that our shareholders approve an
acquisition that would result in a change of control, the acquiror must effect
its acquisition by way of a cash tender offer for 100% of our total outstanding
capital stock at a price which cannot be lower than the highest of the
following: (i) the book value of the common Shares and CPOs as reported on the
last quarterly income statement approved by the Board of Directors, (ii) the
highest closing price of the common Shares, on any stock exchange during any of
the three hundred-sixty-five (365) days preceding the date of the shareholders'
resolution approving the acquisition; or (iii) the highest price paid for any
Shares, at any time by the acquiror. All tender offers must be made in Mexico
and the U.S. within 60 days following the date on which the acquisition was
approved by our Board of Directors or shareholders' meeting, as the case may be.
All holders must be paid the same price for their common Shares. The provisions
of our bylaws summarized above regarding mandatory tender offers in the case of
certain acquisitions are generally more stringent than those provided for under
the Mexican Securities Market Law. In accordance with the Mexican Securities
Market Law, bylaw provisions regarding mandatory tender offers in the case of
certain acquisitions may differ from the requirements set forth in such law,
provided that those provisions are more protective to minority shareholders than
those afforded by law. In these cases, the relevant

                                     -131-


bylaw provisions, and not the relevant provisions of the Mexican Securities
Market Law, will apply to certain acquisitions specified therein.

            Exceptions. The provisions of our bylaws summarized above will not
apply to (i) transfers of common Shares and/or CPOs by operation of the laws of
inheritance, (ii) acquisitions of common Shares and/or CPOs by any person who,
directly or indirectly, is entitled to appoint the greatest number of members to
our Board of Directors, as well as by (A) entities controlled by such person,
(B) affiliates of such person, (C) the estate of such person, (D) certain family
members of such person, and (E) such person, when such person acquires any
common Shares and/or CPOs from any entity, affiliate, person or family member
referred to in (A), (B) and (D) above, and (iii) acquisitions or transfers of
common Shares and/or CPOs by us, our subsidiaries or affiliates, or any trust
created by us or any of our subsidiaries.

            Amendments to the Antitakeover Provisions. Any amendments to these
antitakeover provisions must be authorized by the CNBV and registered before the
Public Registry of Commerce at our corporate domicile.

                       ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

      We are organized under the laws of Mexico. Substantially all of our
directors, executive officers and controlling persons reside outside of the
U.S., all or a significant portion of the assets of our directors, executive
officers and controlling persons, and substantially all of our assets, are
located outside of the U.S. and some of the experts named in this annual report
also reside outside of the U.S. As a result, it may not be possible for you to
effect service of process within the U.S. upon these persons or to enforce
against them or us in U.S. courts judgments predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S. We have been advised by
our Mexican counsel, Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C., that there is
doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Mexican courts, of
liabilities predicated solely on U.S. federal securities laws and as to the
enforceability in Mexican courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws.
See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risks Factors Related to Our 
Securities -- It May Be Difficult to Enforce Civil Liabilities Against Us or Our
Directors, Executive Officers and Controlling Persons."

                               MATERIAL CONTRACTS

      We have been granted a number of concessions by the Mexican government
that authorize us to broadcast our programming over our television and radio
stations and our cable and DTH systems. These concessions are described under
"Information on the Company -- Business Overview -- Regulation." If we are
unable to renew, or if the Mexican government revokes, any of the concessions
for our significant television stations, our business would be materially
adversely affected. See "Key Information -- Risk Factors -- Risk Factors Related
to Our Business -- The Operation of Our Business May Be Terminated or
Interrupted if the Mexican Government Does Not Renew or Revokes Our Broadcast or
Other Concessions; Proposed Revisions to the Ley Federal de Radio y Television,
or Radio and Television Law, if Adopted, Could Adversely Impact our Results of
Operations."

      We operate our DTH satellite service in Mexico, Innova, through a joint
venture with News Corp. and Liberty Media, and our DTH joint ventures in Latin
America outside of Mexico and Brazil through a partnership with News Corp.,
Globopar and Liberty Media. See "Information on the Company -- Business 
Overview -- DTH Joint Ventures."

      We completed a refinancing of our indebtedness in 2000, which refinancing
involved a tender offer for our outstanding Series A Senior Notes, Series B
Senior Notes and Senior Discount Debentures and the amendment of the related
indentures, as well as the issuance of Ps.3.0 billion (nominal) as of April 14,
2000 of UDI-denominated notes. We also amended our working capital facility with
Banamex in July 2000. We issued U.S.$200.0 million aggregate principal amount of
8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2005 in August 2000, U.S.$300.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 8% Senior Notes due 2011 in September 2001, refinanced
approximately U.S.$100.0 million of our indebtedness through a five-year
U.S.$100 million term loan facility in December 2001 and U.S.$300 million in
aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032. We redeemed all of our
remaining Senior Discount

                                     -132-


Debentures and terminated the related indentures in May 2001. In addition, in
May 2003, we repaid all of the remaining Series A Senior Notes, which matured in
May 2003, with the net proceeds from a long-term credit agreement that we
entered into with a Mexican bank for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.800.0
million. Also, in March 2005, we completed a refinancing involving a tender
offer for each of our outstanding U.S.$300 million aggregate principal amount of
8.00% Senior Notes due 2011 and our outstanding Ps. 3.0 billion (nominal) as of
April 14, 2000 of our UDI-denominated notes due 2007. As part of this
refinancing, we also issued U.S.$400 million aggregate principal amount of 6
5/8% Senior Notes due 2025. In May 2005, through a reopening of the same series
of note, we issued an additional U.S.$200 million aggregate principal amount of
6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025. For a description of the material terms of the
amended indentures related to the Series A Senior Notes and Series B Senior
Notes, the UDI-denominated notes, the indenture and supplemental indentures
related to our 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2005, our 8% Senior Notes due 2011, our
8.5% Senior Notes due 2032 and our 6 5/8% Senior Notes due 2025, our facilities
with a Mexican bank, our five-year term U.S.$100.0 million loan facility and our
Ps.800 million long-term credit agreement, see "Operating and Financial Review
and Prospects -- Results of Operations -- Liquidity, Foreign Exchange and
Capital Resources -- Refinancings" and "Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects -- Results of Operations -- Liquidity, Foreign Exchange and Capital
Resources -- Indebtedness."

      On May 17, 2004, we entered into a long-term credit agreement with a
Mexican bank for an aggregate amount of Ps.1,162.5 million, which matures in
2009. The annual interest rate is 9.70%. See "Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects -- Results of Operations -- Liquidity, Foreign Exchange and Capital
Resources -- Indebtedness."

      On October 22, 2004, we entered into another long-term credit agreement
with a Mexican bank for an aggregate amount of Ps.2,000.0 million which matures
in 2012. The interest rate is 10.35%. For more information regarding this credit
agreement, see "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -- Results of
Operations -- Liquidity, Foreign Exchange and Capital Resources --
Indebtedness."

      Our transactions and arrangements with related parties are described under
"Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions -- Related Party
Transactions."

Univision,, see "Information on the Company -- Business Overview -- Univision."

                                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      In June 2003, we were notified by the Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito
Publico, or the Mexican tax authority, of a federal tax assessment for
approximately Ps.302.0 million plus approximately Ps.658.7 million of penalties
and surcharges. The assessment, which relates to an alleged assets tax liability
for the year ended December 31, 1994, was originally brought by the Mexican tax
authority in 1999, but was dismissed in 2002 on procedural grounds. We believe
that this claimed assessment is without merit, and we are vigorously defending
against it before the appropriate judicial authority, although no assurances can
be given as to the outcome of this dispute.

      On October 18, 2004, Darlene Investments, LLC, or Darlene, a minority
owner of DTVLA, filed an action in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial
District in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida against DTVLA, DIRECTV, DIRECTV
International, Inc., DIRECTV Latin America Holdings, Inc. (together, the
"DIRECTV Defendants"); News Corp. Ltd.; Televisa; Globopar; MCOP; and Innova.
The complaint seeks an injunction based on allegations that the DIRECTV
Defendants breached fiduciary and contractual duties to Darlene by entering into
transactions with MCOP, Sky Brasil Servicos Ltda. and Innova in respect of their
respective direct-to-home satellite services and that the remaining defendants
aided and abetted the DIRECTV Defendant's alleged breaches of their contractual
and fiduciary duties. The complaint also asserts claims for monetary damages
against the DIRECTV Defendants and News Corp. based on fraud and tortious
interference with contract. The action was removed to federal court by the
DIRECTV Defendants. Darlene has moved to remand the case to state court; the
DIRECTV Defendants have, in addition to opposing Darlene's motion, moved to stay
the action pending arbitration on the grounds that disputes between the DIRECTV
Defendants and Darlene are subject to arbitration under the relevant contracts.
Darlene has recently purported to serve Televisa and Innova with the complaint
by registered mail, although neither Televisa nor

                                     -133-


Innova concede such service is proper. We believe Darlene's claims against us
and Innova are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against these
claims. News Corp. has agreed to indemnify us for any losses arising out of
these claims.

      In October 2001, a claim for damages was filed in connection with an
alleged copyright infringement on a technical written work titled "La Lupa," or
"Catch the Clue." In November 2002, a final judgment was entered against us
whereby we were declared liable for an amount equal to 40% of the income
generated from such work. In January 2005, a motion to enforce the final
judgment was filed and the parties are currently in the process of arguing
before the court the amounts that we will be liable to pay to plaintiffs.
Although we currently believe that the ultimate amount of damages will not be
material, no assurances can be given in this regard.

      For a description of a complaint we filed on May 9, 2005 in the United
States District Court Central District of California against Univision alleging,
among other things, that Univision breached the program license agreement we
entered into with Univision by failing to pay certain royalties and by making
certain unauthorized edits of our programs, see "Key Information -- Risk Factors
-- Risk Factors Related to Our Business -- Future Activities Which We May Wish
to Undertake in the U.S. May Be Affected by Our Arrangements with Univision.
These Activities, as Well as a Current Dispute We Are Having With Univision, May
Affect Our Relationship With, and Our Equity Interest in, Univision."

      On May 25, 2005, the Mexican Antitrust Commission notified us that, in
response to a claim by a third party, it had commenced an investigation into
alleged violations of the Mexican Antitrust law by two of our subsidiaries
relating to the unilateral refusal by our subsidiaries to provide certain pay
and free television signals to a cable provider in Piedras Negras. We believe
that the claim by the third party is without merit, and intend to vigorously
dispute this claim, although we cannot assure you as to the outcome of the
procedure.

      There are other various legal actions and other claims pending against us
that are incidental to the ordinary course of our business. Our management does
not consider these actions or claims to be material. See Note 13 to our year-end
financial statements.

             NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS

      As a foreign private issuer with shares listed on the NYSE, we are subject
to different corporate governance requirements than a U.S. company under the
NYSE listing standards. With certain exceptions, foreign private issuers are
permitted to follow home country practice standards. Pursuant to Rule 303.A11 of
the NYSE listed company manual, we required to provide a summary of the
significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those
required for U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.

            We are a Mexican corporation with shares, in the form of CPOs listed
on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, or Mexican Stock Exchange. Our corporate
governance practices are governed by our bylaws, the Mexican Securities Market
Law, and the regulations issued by the CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange.
Although compliance is not mandatory, we also substantially comply with the
Mexican Code of Best Corporate Practices (Codigo de Mejores Practicas
Corporativas), which was created in January 1999 by a group of Mexican business
leaders and was endorsed by the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission. 
See " -- Bylaws" for a more detailed description of our corporate governance
practices.

      The table below sets forth a description of the significant differences
between corporate governance practices required for U.S. companies under the
NYSE listing standards and the Mexican corporate governance standards that
govern our practices.



            NYSE RULES                            MEXICAN RULES

                                       board of directors is not required to
                                       make a determination as to the

                                        U.S. issuers under the NYSE standard and
                                        prohibits, among other relationships, an
                                        independent director from being an
                                        employee or officer of the company or a
                                        shareholder that may have influence over
                                        our officers, as well as certain
                                        relationships between the company and
                                        the independent director, entities in
                                        which the independent director is a
                                        partner, director or employee and family
                                        members of the independent director. In
                                        addition, our bylaws broadens the
                                        definition of independent director. Our
                                        bylaws provide for an executive
                                        committee of our board of directors. The
                                        executive committee is currently
                                        composed of eight members, and there are
                                        no Mexican rules applicable that require
                                        any of the members to be independent.
                                        The executive committee may generally
                                        exercise the powers of our board of
                                        directors, subject to certain
                                        exceptions. Our Chief Executive Officer
                                        is a member of our board of directors

                                    TAXATION

U.S. TAXES

      GENERAL. The following is a summary of the anticipated material U.S.
federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of
GDSs, CPOs and the A Shares, B Shares, L Shares and D Shares underlying the CPOs
(referred to herein as the "Underlying Shares"), in each case, except as
otherwise noted, by U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion does not
address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a
particular beneficial owner of GDSs, CPOs or Underlying Shares based on the
beneficial owner's particular circumstances. For example, with respect to U.S.
Holders, the following discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax
consequences to a U.S. Holder:

            -     that owns, directly, indirectly or through attribution, 2% or
                  more of the total voting power or value of our outstanding
                  Underlying Shares (including through ownership of GDSs);

            -     that is a dealer in securities, insurance company, financial
                  institution, tax-exempt organization, U.S. expatriate,
                  broker-dealer or trader in securities; or

            -     whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar.

      Also, this discussion does not consider:

            -     the tax consequences to the shareholders, partners or
                  beneficiaries of a U.S. Holder; or

            -     special tax rules that may apply to a U.S. Holder that holds
                  GDSs, CPOs or Underlying Shares as part of a "straddle,"
                  "hedge," "conversion transaction," "synthetic security" or
                  other integrated investment.

      In addition, the following discussion does not address any aspect of
state, local or non-U.S. tax laws other than Mexican tax laws. Further, this
discussion generally applies only to U.S. Holders that hold the CPOs, GDSs or
Underlying Shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

      The discussion set forth below is based on the U.S. federal income tax
laws as in force on the date of this annual report, including:

            -     the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable
                  U.S. Treasury regulations and judicial and administrative
                  interpretations, and

            -     the convention between the Government of the United States of
                  America and the Government of the United Mexican States for
                  the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal
                  Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income, including the
                  applicable protocols, collectively referred to herein as the
                  "tax treaty,"

and is subject to changes to those laws and the tax treaty subsequent to the
date of this annual report, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis;
and

            -     is also based, in part, on the representations of the
                  depositary with respect to the GDSs and on the assumption that
                  each obligation in the deposit agreement relating to the GDSs
                  and any related agreements will be performed in accordance
                  with their terms.

                                     -136-


      As used in this section, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner
of CPOs, GDSs or Underlying Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes:

            -     a citizen or individual resident of the United States;

            -     a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for such
                  purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the
                  United States, or any State thereof or the District of
                  Columbia;

            -     an estate the income of which is included in gross income for
                  U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of source; or

            -     a trust, if either (x) it is subject to the primary
                  supervision of a court within the United States and one or
                  more "United States persons" has the authority to control all
                  substantial decisions of the trust or (y) it has a valid
                  election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations
                  to be treated as a "United States person".

      If a partnership (or an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds CPOs, GDSs or Underlying Shares, the
U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will
depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership, and
partnerships holding CPOs, GDSs or Underlying Shares should consult their own
tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing,
owning and disposing of CPOs, GDSs or Underlying Shares.

      An individual may be treated as a resident of the United States in any
calendar year for United States federal income tax purposes by being present in
the U.S. on at least 31 days in that calendar year and for an aggregate of at
least 183 days during a three-year period ending at the close of that year. For
purposes of this calculation, all of the days present in the current year,
one-third of the days present in the immediately preceding year and one-sixth of
the days present in the second preceding year would be counted. Residents are
taxed for U.S. federal income purposes as if they were U.S. citizens.

      The application of the tax treaty to U.S. Holders is conditioned upon,
among other things, the assumptions that the U.S. Holder:

            -     is not a resident of Mexico for purposes of the tax treaty;

            -     is an individual who has a substantial presence in the United
                  States;

            -     is entitled to the benefits of the tax treaty under the
                  limitation on benefits provision contained in Article 17 of
                  the tax treaty; and

            -     does not have a fixed place of business or a permanent
                  establishment in Mexico with which its ownership of CPOs, GDSs
                  or Underlying Shares is effectively connected.

      For U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of GDSs and CPOs will
be treated as the beneficial owners of the Underlying Shares represented by the
GDSs and CPOs.

      DIVIDENDS. Any distribution paid by us, including the amount of any
Mexican taxes withheld, will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as
a dividend, treated as ordinary income, to the extent that the distribution is
paid out of our current and/or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined
under U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. Holders will not be entitled to
claim a dividends received deduction for dividends received from us.
Distributions that are treated as dividends received from us in taxable years
beginning before January 1, 2009 by a non-corporate U.S. Holder who meets
certain eligibility requirements will qualify for U.S. federal income taxation
at a reduced rate of 15% or lower if we are a "qualified foreign corporation."
We generally will be a "qualified foreign corporation" if either (i) we are
eligible for benefits under the tax treaty or (ii) the Underlying Shares or GDSs
are listed on an established securities market in the United States. As we are
eligible for benefits under the tax treaty and the GDSs are listed on the New
York Stock Exchange, we presently are a "qualified foreign corporation", and

                                     -137-


we generally expect to be a "qualified foreign corporation" during such taxable
years, but no assurance can be given that a change in circumstances will not
affect our treatment as a "qualified foreign corporation" in any of such taxable
years. A non-corporate U.S. Holder will not be eligible for the reduced rate (a)
if the U.S. Holder has not held the Underlying Shares, CPOs or GDSs for at least
61 days of the 121-day period beginning on the date which is 60 days before the
ex-dividend date, (b) to the extent the U.S. Holder is under an obligation to
make related payments on substantially similar or related property or (c) with
respect to any portion of a dividend that is taken into account as investment
income under Section 163(d)(4)(B) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Any days during which a U.S. Holder has diminished the U.S. Holder's
risk of loss with respect to the Underlying Shares, CPOs or GDSs (for example,
by holding an option to sell such Underlying Shares, CPOs or GDSs) is not
counted towards meeting the 61-day holding period. Special rules apply in
determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends subject
to U.S. federal income taxation at the reduced rate. U.S. Holders should consult
their own tax advisors concerning whether dividends received by them qualify for
the reduced rate.

      To the extent, if any, that the amount of a distribution exceeds our
current and/or accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will first
reduce the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its Underlying Shares, CPOs or
GDSs and, to the extent the distribution exceeds the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax
basis, it will be treated as gain from the sale of the U.S. Holder's Underlying
Shares, CPOs or GDSs.

      The U.S. Dollar value of any dividends paid in Pesos, including the amount
of any Mexican taxes withheld, will be calculated by reference to the interbank
exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt by the U.S. Holder or, with
respect to the GDSs, JPMorgan Chase Bank, in its capacity as Depositary,
regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. Dollars. U.S.
Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of any
foreign currency gain or loss on any dividends paid in Pesos that are not
converted into U.S. Dollars on the day the Pesos are received. For U.S. foreign
tax credit purposes, dividends distributed by us on CPOs, GDSs or Underlying
Shares generally will constitute foreign source "passive income" or, in the case
of some U.S. Holders, foreign source "financial services income" for taxable
years beginning before December 31, 2006 and foreign source "general category
income" for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006.

      In general, pro rata distributions of additional shares with respect to
the Underlying Shares that are part of a pro rata distribution to all of our
shareholders generally (including U.S. Holders of GDSs) will not be subject to
U.S. federal income tax.

      A beneficial owner of CPOs, GDSs or Underlying Shares that is not a U.S.
Holder and is not a partnership (or an entity or arrangement classified as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will not be subject to U.S.
federal income or withholding tax on a dividend paid with respect to the CPOs,
GDSs or the Underlying Shares, unless the dividend is effectively connected with
the conduct by the beneficial owner of a trade or business in the United States.

      CAPITAL GAINS. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on a taxable sale
or exchange of CPOs, GDSs or Underlying Shares will be subject to U.S. federal
income taxation as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference
between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and the U.S. Holder's
adjusted tax basis in the CPOs, GDSs or Underlying Shares. Such capital gain or
loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the CPOs, GDSs or
Underlying Shares have been held for more than one year at the time of
disposition.

      Such capital gains generally will be U.S. source income, unless the gains
are subject to Mexican taxation, in which case such gains generally will be
treated as arising in Mexico under the tax treaty. If capital gains are subject
to Mexican taxation under the tax treaty, a U.S. Holder generally may elect to
treat such gains as foreign source income for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation
purposes. However, any such Mexican taxes may not be used to offset U.S. federal
income tax on any other item of income, and foreign taxes on any other item of
income cannot be used to offset U.S. federal income tax on such gains. U.S.
Holders should consult their tax advisors.

      Capital losses recognized on the sale or exchange of CPOs, GDSs or
Underlying Shares generally will offset U.S. source income. Deposits and
withdrawals of CPOs for GDSs and of Underlying Shares for CPOs by U.S. Holders
will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

                                     -138-


      A beneficial owner of CPOs, GDSs or Underlying Shares that is not a U.S.
Holder and is not a partnership (or an entity or arrangement classified as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally will not be subject
to U.S. federal income tax on gain recognized on a sale or exchange of CPOs,
GDSs or Underlying Shares unless:

            -     the gain is effectively connected with the beneficial owners's
                  conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or

            -     the beneficial owner is an individual who holds CPOs, GDSs or
                  Underlying Shares as a capital asset, is present in the United
                  States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or
                  exchange and meets other requirements.

      U.S. BACKUP WITHHOLDING. A U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. information
reporting and U.S. backup withholding on dividends paid on Underlying Shares,
and on proceeds from the sale or other disposition of CPOs, GDSs or Underlying
Shares, unless the U.S. Holder:

            -     is a corporation or comes within an exempt category; or

            -     provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no
                  loss of exemption from backup withholding tax and otherwise
                  complies with the applicable requirements of the backup
                  withholding rules.

      The amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against
the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder
to a refund; provided, however, that certain required information is furnished
to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. A beneficial owner of CPOs, GDSs or
Underlying Shares that is not a U.S. Holder may be required to comply with
certification and identification procedures in order to establish its exemption
from backup withholding.

MEXICAN TAXES

      GENERAL. The following is a summary of the anticipated material Mexican
tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of CPOs, GDSs or
underlying A Shares, B Shares, L Shares and D Shares by a person that is not a
resident of Mexico, as defined below.

      U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors as to their
entitlement to benefits afforded by the tax treaty between the U.S. and Mexico.
Mexico has also entered into and is negotiating with various countries regarding
other tax treaties that may have an effect on the tax treatment of CPOs, GDSs or
shares underlying the CPOs. Holders should consult with their tax advisors as to
their entitlement to the benefits afforded by these treaties.

      This discussion does not constitute, and shall not be considered as, legal
or tax advice to holders. This discussion is for general information purposes
only and is based upon the federal tax laws of Mexico as in effect on the date
of this annual report, which are subject to change, including:

            -     the Mexican Income Tax Law, the Mexican Federal Tax Code, and

            -     the tax treaty.

      Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to U.S., Mexican or other
tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of CPOs, GDSs or
underlying A Shares, B Shares, L Shares and D Shares.

      As of January 1, 2004, the following principles apply regarding residency,
for Mexican income tax purposes:

            -     an individual is treated as a resident of Mexico if the
                  individual has established his home in Mexico. When an
                  individual, in addition to his home in Mexico, has a home in
                  another country,

                                     -139-


                  the individual will be a resident of Mexico if his center of
                  vital interests is located in Mexico. This will be deemed to
                  occur, among others, if either (i) more than 50% of the total
                  income obtained by the individual in the calendar year is
                  Mexican source; or (ii) when the individual's center of
                  professional activities is located in Mexico. Unless otherwise
                  proven, a Mexican national is considered a Mexican resident.

            -     a legal entity is considered a resident of Mexico if it is
                  incorporated under Mexican law or if it maintains the main
                  administration of its head office or business or the effective
                  location of its management in Mexico; and

            -     a permanent establishment of a foreign person will be treated
                  as a resident of Mexico, and that permanent establishment will
                  be required to pay taxes in Mexico in accordance with
                  applicable law for income attributable to such permanent
                  establishment.

      DIVIDENDS. Dividends, either in cash or in any other form, paid with
respect to the shares underlying the CPOs, including those CPOs represented by
GDSs, will not be subject to Mexican withholding tax.

      When dividends are paid from our "previously taxed net earnings account,"
or "cuenta de utilidad fiscal neta," we will not be required to pay any Mexican
corporate income tax on the dividends. If dividends are not paid from our
"previously taxed net earnings account" we will be required to pay a 30% Mexican
corporate income tax on the dividends multiplied by 1.4286.

      As a result of changes to the Mexican Income Tax Law effective January 1,
2005, the corporate income tax rate was reduced from 33% (effective in year
2004) to 28%. However, by means of an annual disposition the reduction is going
to be gradual with rates of 30% for year 2005, 29% for year 2006, and 28% for
year 2007.

      SALES OR OTHER DISPOSITIONS. Deposits and withdrawals of CPOs for GDSs and
of underlying A Shares, B Shares, L Shares and D Shares for CPOs will not give
rise to Mexican tax or transfer duties.

      Generally, the sale or other disposition of CPOs, GDSs or underlying A
Shares, L Shares and D Shares will not be subject to any Mexican tax if:

            -     the sale is carried out through the Mexican Stock Exchange (or
                  a recognized securities market located in a country with which
                  Mexico has entered into a tax treaty); and

            -     the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit considers such
                  securities to be publicly held.

      Sales or other dispositions of CPOs, GDSs or underlying A Shares, B
Shares, L Shares and D Shares made in other circumstances would be subject to
Mexican income tax. However, under the tax treaty, any U.S. Holder that is
eligible to claim the benefits of the tax treaty may be exempt from Mexican tax
on gains realized on a sale or other disposition of CPOs and shares underlying
the CPOs in a transaction that is not carried out through the Mexican Stock
Exchange or such other approved securities markets. The U.S. Holder will be
exempt under the tax treaty if the U.S. Holder did not own directly or
indirectly 25% or more of the our outstanding shares within the 12-month period
preceding such sale or disposition. Gains realized by other Holders that are
eligible to receive benefits pursuant to other income tax treaties to which
Mexico is a party may be exempt from Mexican income tax in whole or in part.
Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to their possible
eligibility under such other income tax treaties. Appropriate residence
certifications must be obtained by Holders eligible for tax treaty benefits.

      As of January 1, 2005 all income derived from the constitution of an
usufruct or usage of shares and securities or the transfer of the rights
concerning the usufruct of stock, as well as all income derived from other legal
acts through which the right to perceive revenues generated by shares is
transferred, should be considered as income as if it were obtained from the sale
of shares.

      OTHER MEXICAN TAXES. There are no estate, gift, or succession taxes
applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of CPOs, GDSs or underlying
A Shares, B Shares, L Shares and D Shares. However, a gratuitous

                                     -140-


transfer of CPOs, GDSs or underlying A Shares, B Shares, L Shares and D Shares
may, in some circumstances, result in the imposition of a Mexican federal tax
upon the recipient. There are no Mexican stamp, issuer, registration or similar
taxes or duties payable by holders of GDSs, CPOs, or underlying A Shares, B
Shares, L Shares and D Shares.

ITEM 11.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES

      Market risk is the exposure to an adverse change in the value of financial
instruments caused by interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations,
inflation and changes in the market value of investments. The following
information includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those presented. Unless
otherwise indicated, all information below is presented on a Mexican GAAP basis
in constant Mexican pesos in purchasing power as of December 31, 2004.

      RISK MANAGEMENT. We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in
interest rates, inflation, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices, in
both the Mexican and U.S. markets. Our risk management activities are monitored
by our Risk Management Committee and reported to our Executive Committee.

      We monitor our exposure to interest rate risk by: (i) evaluating
differences between interest rates on our outstanding debt and short-term
investments and market interest rates on similar financial instruments; (ii)
reviewing our cash flow needs and financial ratios (interest coverage); (iii)
assessing current and forecasted trends in the relevant markets; and (iv)
evaluating peer group and industry practices. This approach allows us to
establish the optimal liability's interest rate "mix" between variable and fixed
rate debt.

      Foreign exchange risk is monitored by assessing our net monetary liability
position in U.S. Dollars and our forecasted cash flow needs for anticipated U.S.
Dollar investments and servicing our U.S. Dollar-denominated debt. Equity price
risk is assessed by evaluating the long-term value of our investment in both
domestic and foreign affiliates, versus comparable investments in the
marketplace. We classify our equity investments, consisting of investments in
both domestic and foreign affiliates, as long-term assets.

      In compliance with the procedures and controls established by our Risk
Management Committee, in 2002, 2003 and 2004 and through April, 2005 we entered
into certain derivative financial transactions with certain financial
institutions in order to manage our exposure to market risks resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, inflation and the price of
our common stock. Our objective in managing foreign currency and inflation
fluctuations is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility. See Notes 1(p) and
9 to our year-end financial statements.

  FOREIGN CURRENCY, EXCHANGE RATE RISK

      In connection with the Senior Notes due 2005, in the third quarter of 2002
we entered into currency option agreements on a notional amount of U.S.$100.0
million. Under these agreements, and subject to the exercise of the options by
us and the financial institution, as well as the payment of related premiums by
us for approximately U.S.$11.8 million in April 2004, the parties will exchange
U.S. Dollars and Mexican Pesos at fixed exchange rates in October 2005. In May
2004, we terminated this hedge early by pre-paying a net amount of U.S.$2.7
million. In addition, from June through February 2005, we entered into forward
exchange contracts on a notional amount of U.S.$185 million to exchange U.S.
Dollars and Mexican Pesos at fixed exchange rates in June and August 2005.

      Effective March 1, 2002, we designated our equity investment in Univision
as an effective hedge of the U.S. Dollar principal amount with respect to both
our 8% Senior Notes due 2011 and our 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032 (see Notes 1(c)
and 8 to our year-end financial statements). As long as we maintain our net
investment in Univision as an effective hedge against these principal amounts,
any foreign exchange gain or loss attributable to our 8% Senior Notes due 2011
and 8.5% Senior Notes due 2032 will be credited or charged directly to equity
(other comprehensive income or loss: foreign currency translation) for Mexican
GAAP purposes. In March 2005, in connection with the issuance of the Senior
Notes due 2025 and the tender offer of the Senior Notes due 2011, we
re-designated our net investment in Univision as an effective hedge of the U.S.
Dollar principal amount of our Senior Notes due 2025. At March 31, 2005, the
total principal amount of our long-term debt being hedged by our investment in
Univision was of approximately U.S.$777.5 million.

                                     -142-


   INTEREST RATE RISK

      In connection with the Senior Notes due 2005, in October 2002, April 2003
and June 2003, we entered into option contracts to exchange interest rates on a
notional amount of U.S.$200.0 million, and received premiums in cash for an
amount of approximately U.S.$3.4 million which were being amortized through the
maturity of the Senior Notes due 2005. In February and August 2003, these
options expired unexercised and we recognized the benefit of unamortized
premiums. In February 2004, the financial institution exercised the option to
enter into an interest rate swap to receive amounts based on a variable interest
rate in exchange for amounts based on fixed interest rates over the life of the
agreement. In July 2004, we terminated this hedge early by pre-paying a net
amount of U.S.$0.9 million.

      In connection with the Senior Notes due 2011, in the fourth quarter of
2002 we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a notional amount of
U.S.$100.0 million. These agreements involve the exchange of amounts based on a
fixed interest rate for amounts based on variable interest rates over the life
of the agreement, without an exchange of the notional amount upon which the
payments are based. We terminated these arrangements in early June 2003, and
recognized a net gain on these contracts in the amount of U.S.$5.5 million.

      In connection with the Senior Notes due 2011 and 2032, we entered into
cross-currency interest rate swap agreements "coupon swaps" that allow us to
hedge against Mexican Peso depreciation on the interest payments for a period of
five years. As of March 31, 2005, such transactions correspond to interest
payments of U.S.$600.0 million of the principal amount. As a result of the
tender of the Senior Notes due 2011, we reclassified part of the "coupon swap"
agreements to the recently issued Senior Notes due 2025. In April 2005, we
entered into an additional U.S.$42 million of the principal amount. As of April
30, 2005, such transactions correspond to interest payments for a period of four
years of U.S.$319.7 million of the principal amount of the Senior Notes due
2025.

      In March 2005, in connection with and ahead of the issuance of the Senior
Notes due 2025, we entered into agreements that allow us to hedge against
increases in the U.S. Treasury interest rates on the pricing date for a notional
amount of U.S.$300 million. This hedge expired at the same time we issued the
Senior Notes resulting in a net gain of U.S.$2.5 million, thus reducing the
reoffered yield of the Senior Notes due 2025 by approximately 0.05% to 6.75%.

  INFLATION RATE RISK

      We entered into inflation swap agreements to fix the inflation rate on the
principal amount of the UDI-denominated medium-term notes due 2007 for a
notional amount of 1,086 million UDIs. On average, we fixed the inflation rate
at an annual rate of approximately 4.06%. In March 2005, in connection with the
issuance of the Senior Notes due 2025 and as a result of the tender of the
UDI-denominated Medium Term Notes due 2007, we terminated early the inflation
swap agreements on the principal amount and received an amount equal to Ps.107.7
million.

  COMMON STOCK PRICE RISK

      In the third quarter of 2002, the first quarter of 2003, the fourth
quarter of 2004 and February 2005 we entered into agreements to sell share put
options on our common stock and received premiums in cash for approximately
U.S.$2.8 million. These put options were exercisable in April and July 2003 and
January 2005 and may be exercised in May, June, July, September and December of
2005. We have recorded the related premiums, in other income or expense. Several
of these agreements expired unexercised by the financial institution in April
and July 2003 and January 2005, and we recognized the benefit of unamortized
premiums. We foresee that the outstanding agreements will also expire
unexercised by the financial institution.

      We have recorded the change in value in each period of all the above
mentioned agreements, together with the amortization of related premiums, from
inception through December 31, 2004 in the income statement.

                                     -143-


      SENSITIVITY AND FAIR VALUE ANALYSES. The sensitivity analyses that follow
are intended to present the hypothetical change in fair value or loss in
earnings due to changes in interest rates, inflation rates, foreign exchange
rates and debt and equity market prices as they affect our financial instruments
at December 31, 2003 and 2004. These analyses address market risk only and do
not present other risks that we face in the ordinary course of business,
including country risk and credit risk. The hypothetical changes reflect our
view of changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period. For
purposes of the following sensitivity analyses, we have made conservative
assumptions of expected near-term future changes in U.S. interest rates, Mexican
interest rates, inflation rates and Peso to U.S. Dollar exchange rates of 10%,
10%, 10% and 5%, respectively. The results of the analyses do not purport to
represent actual changes in fair value or losses in earnings that we will incur.

--------------
(1)   Peso amounts have been converted to U.S. Dollars solely for the
      convenience of the reader at a nominal exchange rate of Ps.11.1490 per
      U.S. Dollar, the Interbank Rate as of December 31, 2004.

(2)   At December 31, 2004, our temporary investments consisted of fixed rate
      short-term deposits in commercial banks (primarily Peso- and U.S.
      Dollar-denominated in 2003 and 2004). Given the short-term nature of these
      investments, an increase in U.S. and/or Mexican interest rates would not
      significantly decrease the fair value of these investments.

(3)   At December 31, 2004, fair value exceeded the carrying value of those debt
      securities by approximately Ps.6.4 million (U.S.$0.6 million). The
      increase in the fair value of a hypothetical 10% increase in the estimated
      market price of those debt securities would amount to Ps.13.0 million
      (U.S.$1.2 million) at December 31, 2004.

(4)   At December 31, 2004, the carrying value exceeded the fair value of
      amounts outstanding under this loan by approximately Ps.68.7 million
      (U.S.$6.2 million). A hypothetical 10% increase in U.S. interest rates
      would increase the fair value of amounts outstanding under this loan by
      approximately Ps.298.5 million (U.S.$26.8 million) at December 31, 2004.

(5)   At December 31, 2004, fair value exceeded the carrying value of these
      notes by approximately Ps.529.8 million (U.S.$47.5 million). The increase
      in the fair value of these notes of a hypothetical 10% increase in the
      quoted market price of these notes would amount to approximately Ps.917.2
      million (U.S.$82.3 million) at December 31, 2004.

                                     -144-


(6)   At December 31, 2004, fair value exceeded the carrying value of these
      notes by approximately Ps.510.1 million (U.S.$47.8 million). The increase
      in the fair value of these notes of a hypothetical 10% increase in the
      quoted market price of these notes would amount to approximately Ps.895.5
      million (U.S.$80.3 million) at December 31, 2004.

(7)   At December 31, 2004, fair value exceeded the carrying value of these
      notes by approximately Ps.0.6 million (U.S.$0.01 million). The increase in
      the fair value of these notes of a hypothetical 10% increase in the quoted
      market price of these notes would amount to approximately Ps.98.8 million
      (U.S.$8.9 million) at December 31, 2004.

(8)   At December 31, 2004, fair value exceeded the carrying value of these
      notes by approximately Ps.470.7 million (U.S.$42.2 million). The increase
      in the fair value of these notes of a hypothetical 10% increase in the
      quoted market price of these notes would amount to approximately Ps.852.3
      million (U.S.$76.4 million) at December 31, 2004.

(9)   At December 31, 2004, fair value exceeded carrying value of amounts
      outstanding under this loan by approximately Ps.320.9 million (U.S.$28.8
      million). At December 31, 2004, a hypothetical 10% increase in the Mexican
      inflation rate to 5.7% for the year 2005 would increase principal amounts
      outstanding under this UDI-denominated long-term loan facility by
      approximately Ps.736.9 million (U.S.$66.1 million). An inflation rate of
      less than 4.0% is forecasted by the Mexican government for 2005. We
      entered into inflation swap agreements to fix the inflation rate on this
      UDI-denominated facility at an annual rate of approximately 4%, however,
      we terminated these derivative agreements in March 2005.

(10)  At December 31, 2004, fair value exceeded carrying value of these notes by
      approximately Ps.137.4 million (U.S.$12.3 million). At December 31, 2004,
      a hypothetical 10% increase in Mexican interest rates would increase the
      fair value of these notes by approximately Ps.640.6 million (U.S.$57.5
      million).

      We are also subject to the risk of foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations, resulting from the net monetary position in U.S. Dollars of our
Mexican operations, as follows:

      At December 31, 2004, a hypothetical 5.0% depreciation in the U.S. Dollar

an increase in other comprehensive loss of Ps.437.1 million. This depreciation
rate is based on the December 31, 2004 forecast of the U.S. Dollar to Peso
exchange rate for 2005 by the Mexican government for such year.

      "Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees billed by our independent auditor for
the audit of our consolidated annual financial statements, services related to
regulatory financial filings with the SEC and attestation services that are
provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

      "Audit-Related Fees" are fees charged by our independent auditor for
assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of
the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under
"Audit Fees." This category comprises fees billed for independent accountant
review of the financial statements of certain of our DTH joint ventures,
assistance in financial due diligence in connection with the disposal of our
Music Recording segment, as well as advisory services associated with our
financial reporting.

      "Tax Fees" are fees for professional services rendered by the Company's
independent auditor for tax compliance in connection with our subsidiaries and
interests in the United States, as well as tax advice on actual or contemplated
transactions.

      We have introduced procedures for the review and pre-approval of any
services performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The procedures require that all
proposed engagements of PricewaterhouseCoopers for audit and non-audit services
are submitted to the audit committee for approval prior to the beginning of any
such services.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

      Our audit committee is responsible, among other things, for the
appointment, compensation and oversight of our external auditors. To assure the
independence of our independent auditors, our audit committee pre-approves
annually a catalog of specific audit and non-audit services in the categories
Audit Services, Audit-Related Services, Tax-Related Services, and Other Services
that may be performed by our auditors, as well as the budgeted fee levels for
each of these categories. All other permitted services must receive a specific
approval from our audit committee. Our external auditor periodically provides a
report to our audit committee in order for our audit committee to review the
services that our external auditor is providing, as well as the status and cost
of those services.

      During 2004, none of the services provided to us by our external auditors
were approved by our audit committee pursuant to the de minimus exception to the
pre-approval requirement provided by paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X.

            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Mexico, D.F., March 18, 2005
 
To the Stockholders of Grupo Televisa, S.A.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Grupo
Televisa, S.A. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and
2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in
stockholders' equity and of changes in financial position, for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of Univision Communications, Inc. (Univision), an equity
method investee. The Company's financial statements include an investment of
Ps.5,758 million as of December 31, 2004, and an equity in earnings of Ps.271
million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Those statements were audited by
other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion
expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Univision,
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, is based solely on the report of
the other auditors.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in Mexico and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement and that they were prepared in
accordance with Mexican generally accepted accounting principles. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     As discussed in Notes 1(i) and 7 to the consolidated financial statements,
effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the guidelines of Bulletin B-7
"Business Acquisitions", issued by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants.
 
     As discussed in Notes 1(g) and 10 to the consolidated financial statements,
effective April 1, 2004, the Company consolidates the financial information of
Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V.
 
     In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors
referred to in the first paragraph above, the aforementioned consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Grupo Televisa, S.A. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and
2004, and the results of their operations, the changes in their stockholders'
equity and changes in their financial position, for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2003 and 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in Mexico.
 
     Accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico vary in certain
significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. The application of the latter would have affected the
determination of the consolidated net income for each of the three years ended
December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, and the determination of consolidated
stockholders' equity at December 31, 2003 and 2004, to the extent summarized in
Note 26 to the consolidated financial statements.

            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Univision Communications Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Univision
Communications Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule of Univision Communications Inc.
and subsidiaries listed in index at Item 15(b). These financial statements and
the schedule are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Univision
Communications Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.
 
     We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of
Univision Communications Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal
Control -- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 7, 2005
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002, 2003 AND 2004
  (IN THOUSANDS OF MEXICAN PESOS IN PURCHASING POWER AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2004,
              EXCEPT PER CPO, PER SHARE AND EXCHANGE RATE AMOUNTS)
 
1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The principal accounting policies followed by Grupo Televisa, S.A. (the
"Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") and
observed in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are
summarized below.
 
  A)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The financial statements of the Group are presented on a consolidated basis
and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico
("Mexican GAAP"), and accordingly, include the recognition of the effects of
inflation on financial information.
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the net assets and results of
operations of all companies in which the Company has a controlling interest
(subsidiaries). The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts
of variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Group is deemed the primary
beneficiary (see Notes 1(g) and 10). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated from the financial statements.
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Mexican GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
 
  B)  MEMBERS OF THE GROUP
 
     At December 31, 2004, the Group consisted of the Company and various
consolidated entities, including the following:
 


                                                   COMPANY'S

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
(3) Beginning April 1, 2004, the Group began to include in its consolidated
    financial statements the assets, liabilities and results of operations of
    Innova (see Notes 1(g) and 10).
 
     The Group's Television Broadcasting, Sky Mexico, Cable Television and Radio
businesses require concessions (licenses) granted by the Mexican Federal
Government for a fixed term, subject to renewal in accordance with Mexican law.
At December 31, 2004, the expiration dates of the Group's concessions were as
follows:
 


CONCESSIONS                                                      EXPIRATION DATES

Sky Mexico................................................   In 2020 and 2026
Cable television..........................................   In 2029
Radio.....................................................   Various from 2005 to 2015

 
  C)  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
     Monetary assets and liabilities of Mexican companies denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet
date. Resulting exchange rate differences are recognized in income for the year,
within integral cost of financing.
 
     Assets, liabilities and results of operations of non-Mexican subsidiaries
are first converted to Mexican GAAP, including restating to recognize the
effects of inflation based on the inflation of each foreign country, and then
translated to Mexican pesos utilizing the exchange rate as of the balance sheet
date at year-end. Resulting translation differences are recognized in equity as
part of the other comprehensive income or loss. Financial statements of
non-Mexican operations that are integral to Mexican operations are converted to
Mexican GAAP and translated to Mexican pesos by utilizing the exchange rate of
the balance sheet date at year-end for monetary assets and liabilities, with the
related adjustment included in net income, and historical exchange rates for
non-monetary items.
 
     Effective March 2002, the Group designated its net investment in Univision
as an effective hedge of its Senior Notes due 2011 and 2032 for an aggregate
amount of U.S.$600.0 million (Ps.6,689,400) (see Note 8). Consequently,
beginning March 2002, any foreign exchange gain or loss attributable to this
U.S. dollar long-term debt, being hedged by the Group's net investment in shares
of Univision, is credited or charged directly to equity (other comprehensive
income or loss).
 
  D)  TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS
 
     The Group considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities
of one year or less, to be temporary investments. Temporary investments are
valued at market value.
 
     As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, temporary investments consisted of fixed
short-term deposits in commercial banks (primarily Mexican pesos and U.S.
dollars), with an average yield of approximately 1.30% for U.S. dollar deposits
and 7.07% for Mexican peso deposits in 2003, and approximately 1.42% for U.S.
dollar deposits and 6.88% for Mexican peso deposits in 2004.
 
  E)  TRANSMISSION RIGHTS AND PROGRAMMING
 
     Programming is comprised of programs, literary works, production talent
advances and films.
 
     Transmission rights and literary works are valued at the lesser of
acquisition cost or net realizable value. Programs and films are valued at the
lesser of production cost, which consists of direct production costs and
production overhead, or net realizable value. Payments for production talent
advances are initially capitalized and subsequently included as direct or
indirect costs of program production.
 
                                       F-10

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The Group's policy is to capitalize the production costs of programs which
benefit more than one period and amortize them over the expected period of
program revenues based on the Company's historic revenue patterns for similar
productions.
 
     Transmission rights, programs, literary works, production talent advances
and films are restated by using the National Consumer Price Index ("NCPI")
factors, and specific costs for some of these assets, which are determined by
the Group on the basis of last purchase price or production cost, or replacement
cost whichever is more representative. Cost of sales is determined based on
restated costs, and calculated for the month in which such transmission rights,
programs, literary works, production talent advances and films are matched with
related revenues.
 
     Transmission rights and literary works are amortized over the lives of the
contracts. Transmission rights in perpetuity, are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the period of the expected benefit as determined based upon past
experience, but not for more than 25 years.
 
  F)  INVENTORIES
 
     Inventories of paper, magazines, materials and supplies are valued at the
lesser of acquisition cost or net realizable value. Inventories are restated by
using the NCPI factors and specific costs for some of these assets, which are
determined by the Group on the basis of last purchase price.
 
  G)  INVESTMENTS
 
     Investments in companies in which the Group exercises significant influence
or joint control are accounted for by the equity method. The Group recognizes
equity in losses of affiliated companies up to the amount of its initial
investment and subsequent capital contributions, or beyond that when guaranteed
commitments have been made by the Group in respect of obligations incurred by
investees, but not in excess of such guarantees. If an affiliated company for
which the Group had recognized equity losses up to the amount of its guarantees
generates net income in the future, the Group would not recognize its
proportionate share of this net income until the Group first recognizes its
proportionate share of previously unrecognized losses. Other investments are
accounted for at cost.
 
     Effective April 1, 2004, the Group adopted the guidelines of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities." Adoption of FIN 46 is permitted under the scope of
Mexican GAAP Bulletin A-8, "Supplementary Application of International
Accounting Standards." FIN 46, which became effective in 2004, requires the
primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE") to consolidate that
entity. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that absorbs a majority of
the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of the entity's expected
residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other
financial interest in the entity. The Group identified Innova as a VIE, and the
Group as the primary beneficiary of the investment in Innova under the scope of
FIN 46, and began to consolidate Innova's assets, liabilities and results of
operations beginning April 1, 2004 (see Note 10). As of December 31, 2004, the
Group does not have any other investments in entities it believes are VIEs for
which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Group will apply the
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 in future periods if it owns any interest
in any VIE or upon reconsideration whether it is the primary beneficiary of any
VIE at each reporting date or whenever triggering events occur.
 
  H)  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Property, plant and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost and
thereafter are restated to constant Mexican pesos using the NCPI, except for
equipment of non-Mexican origin, which is restated using an
 
                                       F-11

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
index which reflects the inflation in the respective country of origin and the
exchange rate of the Mexican Peso against the currency of such country at the
balance sheet date ("Specific Index").
 
     Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is based upon the restated
carrying value of the assets in use and is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging principally from 20
to 65 years for buildings, 3 to 25 years for technical equipment and 5 to 20
years for other equipment.
 
  I)  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
     Goodwill and other intangible assets are recognized at cost and thereafter
restated using the NCPI.
 
     Since January 1, 2003, the Group's trademarks and its television network
concession have been deemed intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and
ceased being amortized after December 31, 2002. Prior to 2003, trademarks and
the television network concession were amortized over periods of 40 and 15
years, respectively.
 
     Since January 1, 2004, in connection with the Group's early adoption of
Bulletin B-7, "Business Acquisitions", issued by the Mexican Institute of Public
Accountants ("MIPA"), the Group's goodwill has been deemed intangible asset with
indefinite useful life and ceased being amortized after December 31, 2003. Prior
to 2004, goodwill was amortized over periods of 20 years. Bulletin B-7
establishes the purchase method as the only method of accounting for the
acquisition of a business, and changes the accounting treatment of goodwill,
eliminating the amortization of goodwill and making it subject instead to annual
impairment tests. Bulletin B-7 also provides specific rules for the acquisition
of minority interests and the transfer of assets or the exchange of shares
between entities under common control. The adoption of these provisions in 2004
resulted in a reduction in the goodwill amortization charged to income for the
year of approximately Ps.479,500.
 
     Indefinite-lived intangibles are subject to at least an annual assessment
for impairment and, if circumstances indicate a possible impairment exists, a
more frequent assessment. Other significant intangible assets with finite lives
are amortized using the straight-line method over the following periods:
 


                                                                       YEARS
                                                         ---------------------------------
                                                      
Licenses and software..................................  Various from 3 to 10
Financing costs........................................  Over the life of the related debt

 
  J)  IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
     Through December 31, 2003, the Group evaluated the recoverability of its
long-lived assets to determine whether current events or circumstances warranted
adjustment to the carrying value. Such evaluation was based on current and
projected income and cash flows from operations as well as other economic and
market variables (see Notes 7 and 20).
 
     Effective January 1, 2004, the Group adopted Bulletin C-15, "Impairment in
the Value of Long-Lived Assets and their Disposal," issued by the MIPA, which
establishes, among other things, the general criteria for the identification
and, when applicable, the recording of impairment losses or decrease in the
value of long-lived assets, tangible and intangible, including goodwill. In
connection with the adoption of Bulletin C-15 in 2004, the Group did not
recognize any cumulative loss effect of accounting change in its consolidated
statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2004 (see Note 7).
 
                                       F-12

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  K)  CUSTOMER DEPOSITS AND ADVANCES
 
     Customer deposit and advance agreements for television advertising services
provide that customers receive preferred prices, that are fixed for the contract
period, for television broadcast advertising time based on rates established by
the Group. Such rates vary depending on when the advertisement is aired,
including the season, hour, day and type of programming.
 
     Customer deposits and advances are considered non-monetary items since they
are non-refundable and are applied at rates in effect when they were received.
Accordingly, these deposits and advances are restated to recognize the effects
of inflation by using the NCPI.
 
  L)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     The capital stock and other stockholders' equity accounts (other than the
result from holding non-monetary assets account and the foreign currency
translation adjustments account) include the effect of restatement, determined
by applying the change in the NCPI between the dates capital was contributed or
net results were generated to the most recent period end. The restatement
represents the amount required to maintain the contributions, share repurchases
and accumulated results in Mexican pesos in purchasing power as of December 31,
2004.
 
  M)  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     The Group derives the majority of its revenues from media- and
entertainment-related business activities both domestically and internationally.
Revenues are recognized when the service is provided and collectibility is
probable. A summary of revenue recognition policies by significant activity is
as follows:
 
     - Advertising revenues, including deposits and advances from customers for
       future advertising, are recognized at the time the advertising services
       are rendered.
 
     - Revenues from program services for pay television and licensed television
       programs are recognized when the programs are sold and become available
       for broadcast.
 
     - Revenues from magazine subscriptions are initially deferred and
       recognized proportionately as products are delivered to subscribers.
       Revenues from the sales of magazines and books are recognized when the
       merchandise is delivered, net of a provision for estimated returns.
 
     - Sky Mexico program service revenues, including advances from customers
       for future DTH program services and installation fees, are recognized at
       the time the DTH service is provided.
 
     - Cable television subscription, pay-per-view and installation fees are
       recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.
 
     - Revenues from attendance to soccer games, including revenues from advance
       ticket sales for soccer games and other promotional events, are
       recognized on the date of the relevant event.
 
     - Revenues from nationwide paging were recognized when the paging services
       were rendered.
 
     - Motion picture production and distribution revenues are recognized as the
       films are exhibited.
 
  N)  PENSION PLANS, SENIORITY PREMIUMS AND INDEMNITIES
 
     Plans exist for pension and retirement payments for substantially all of
the Group's Mexican employees, funded through irrevocable trusts. Payments to
the trusts are determined in accordance with actuarial computations of funding
requirements. Pension payments are made by the trust administrators.
 
                                       F-13

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     Increases or decreases in the seniority premium liability are made by the
Group and are based upon actuarial calculations.
 
     Through December 31, 2004, severance obligations to dismissed personnel
were charged to income in the year in which they were incurred. In January 2004,
the MIPA issued a revised Bulletin D-3, "Labor Obligations," which requires,
among other amendments, that severance obligations to dismissed personnel, other
than those arising from restructurings, are recognized based upon actuarial
calculations. In connection with this amendment to Bulletin D-3, which is
effective on January 1, 2005, the Group estimated a severance liability of
Ps.252,403 as of that date. The transition provisions of Bulletin D-3 allow for
companies to fully charge the amount of the initial liability to the income
statement as a change in accounting principle or alternatively, amortize the
amount on a straight-line basis over the expected future employee relationship
period. The Group recognized a severance liability of Ps.252,403, as of January
1, 2005, and a cumulative loss effect of accounting change in the amount of
Ps.176,682, net of an income tax benefit of Ps.75,721, for the first quarter of
2005.
 
  O)  INCOME TAX
 
     The recognition of deferred income tax is made by using the comprehensive
asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are
calculated by applying the respective income tax rate to the temporary
differences between the accounting and tax values of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements.
 
  P)  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The Group uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of reducing
its exposure to adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates
and inflation. According to Bulletin C-2 "Financial Instruments," derivative
financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in the
balance sheet, on the same basis of the hedged assets or liabilities, and
changes in value are recorded in each period in the income statement. Derivative
financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in
the balance sheet at their fair value and changes in the fair value are recorded
in each period in the income statement.
 
     In April 2004, the MIPA issued Bulletin C-10, "Derivative Financial
Instruments and Hedge Operations." Bulletin C-10 establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that all derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. Bulletin
C-10 also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in
current earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria is met, in which case
such changes will be recognized in current earnings or stockholders' equity (as
accumulated other comprehensive income or loss) depending on the intended use of
the derivative and the resulting designation. Bulletin C-10 requires that a
company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of
transactions that receive hedge accounting. Bulletin C-10 is effective for
periods beginning on January 1, 2005, with early adoption recommended. The Group
is evaluating the effect of the adoption of Bulletin C-10 in 2005 in its
consolidated financial statements.
 
  Q)  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
 
     Comprehensive income includes the net income for the period presented in
the income statement plus other results for the period reflected in the
stockholders' equity which are from non-owner sources (see Note 15).

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  R)  PRIOR YEARS' FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     The Group's financial statements for prior years have been restated to
Mexican pesos in purchasing power as of December 31, 2004, by using a
restatement factor derived from the change in the NCPI, which for 2002 and 2003
was 1.0937 and 1.0519, respectively. Had the alternative weighted average factor
allowed under Mexican GAAP been applied to restate the Group's financial
statements for prior years, which included the results of Mexican and
non-Mexican subsidiaries, the restatement factor for 2002 and 2003 would have
been 1.1089 and 1.0546, respectively.
 
     The NCPI at the following dates was:
 

                                                           
December 31, 2001...........................................   97.354
December 31, 2002...........................................  102.904
December 31, 2003...........................................  106.996
December 31, 2004...........................................  112.550

 
     Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years' financial
statements to conform to classifications used in the most recent year.
 
2.  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
 
     In February 2002, certain non-voting preferred shares of Univision stock
acquired by the Group in December 2001, were converted into 10,594,500 shares of
Univision Class "A" Common Stock. Following this conversion, the Group
recognized an excess of the purchase price of U.S.$375.0 million paid by the
Group over the carrying value of the Univision stock acquired of approximately
U.S.$321.8 million (Ps.3,682,521) (see Notes 5, 9 and 22).
 
     In April 2002, the Group sold its Music Recording business to Univision in
exchange for 6,000,000 shares of Univision Class "A" Common Stock and warrants
(which expire in December 2017) to purchase, at an exercise price of U.S.$38.261
per share, 100,000 shares of Univision Class "A" Common Stock. In connection
with the sale of this business, the Group recognized (i) an excess of the
purchase price of U.S.$233.1 million (Ps.2,689,544) assigned to the shares of
Univision common stock at the transaction date over the carrying value of the
Univision stock acquired of approximately U.S.$197.6 million (Ps.2,248,287);
(ii) an acquisition cost of U.S.$2.0 million (Ps.22,890) for the warrants to
purchase 100,000 shares of Univision common stock, as being the fair value
assigned to this investment at the transaction date; and (iii) a gain (loss) on
disposal of the music recording business of Ps.1,160,518 and (Ps.67,487), in
2002 and 2003, respectively, net of related costs, expenses and income taxes
(see Notes 5, 9 and 22).
 
     In April 2002, the Group acquired an additional 50% interest in the capital
stock of certain publishing distribution companies in Chile and Argentina, which
were 50% owned by the Group before this acquisition, for an aggregate amount of
U.S.$3.6 million (U.S.$2.7 million in cash and U.S.$0.9 million through an
account payable due in April 2003), of which U.S.$3.1 million is related to the
acquisition in Chile. Accordingly, beginning May 2002, these businesses became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Group recognized related goodwill
as a result of this acquisition in the amount of Ps.29,467 resulting from the
excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the related net assets
of such companies.
 
     In August 2002, the Group sold all of its 21.99% minority interest in the
capital stock of Red Televisiva Megavision, S.A. ("Megavision"), a broadcasting
television company in Chile, for an aggregate amount of U.S.$4.2 million, of
which U.S.$2.1 million was paid in cash and U.S.$2.1 million in the form of a
receivable due in August 2003 and collateralized with the shares of Megavision
previously owned by the Group. The Group recognized a pre-tax gain on this sale
of approximately Ps.5,465, which represented
 
                                       F-15

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
the excess of the proceeds over the carrying value of the net investment in
Megavision at the transaction date.
 
     In October 2002, the Group acquired a 40% interest in Ocesa
Entretenimiento, S.A. de C.V. ("OCEN"), a subsidiary of Corporacion
Interamericana de Entretenimiento, S.A. de C.V. ("CIE"), which owns all the
assets related to CIE's live entertainment business unit in Mexico, for a gross
amount of approximately U.S.$104.7 million, of which approximately U.S.$67.0
million (Ps.740,267) was paid in cash in the fourth quarter of 2002, and the
remaining balance of U.S.$37.7 million (Ps.431,472) was paid in March 2003. The
Group recognized goodwill as a result of this minority interest acquisition in
the amount of Ps.756,328 resulting from the excess of the purchase price over
the estimated carrying value of the related net assets of OCEN. Under this
agreement, the purchase price of this acquisition is subject to be adjusted
based on a formula of EBITDA generated by OCEN (as defined) in a three-year
period which will end on December 31, 2005. In the first quarter of 2003, the
Group made an additional capital contribution to OCEN in the amount of Ps.56,188
(see Notes 5 and 17).
 
     During 2002, the Group sold certain non-strategic businesses of the
television broadcasting and publishing segments for an aggregate amount of
Ps.9,532, which included a sale transaction with a Company's director for an
amount of Ps.1,920, and recognized in other expense a pre-tax loss in
disposition of these businesses of Ps.33,518 (see Note 20).
 
     During 2003, the Group disposed its 10% minority interest in the capital
stock of DTS Distribuidora de Television Digital, S.A. ("Via Digital"), a DTH
venture in Spain. The disposal was effected by the Group through the sale of a
portion of its interest in Via Digital with cash proceeds of approximately 27.5
million euros (Ps.417,690) and the exchange of its remaining investment in this
venture for a de minimus interest in Sogecable S.A., a public pay television
company in Spain. As a result of these transactions, the Group recognized a
pre-tax gain of approximately 30.8 million euros (Ps.468,966), which represented
the excess of the cash and non-cash proceeds over the carrying value of the
Group's net investment in Via Digital at the transaction dates (see Note 20).
 
     In May 2003, The Company made initial capital contributions of U.S.$2.5
million (Ps.28,189) to TuTv, LLC, a 50% joint venture with Univision engaged in
the distribution of the Company's Spanish-speaking programming packages in the
United States.
 
     In June 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of all the outstanding
equity of Telespecialidades, S.A. de C.V. ("Telespecialidades"), a company which
was owned by the shareholders of Grupo Televicentro, S.A. de C.V.
("Televicentro"), the Group's controlling company. The total consideration paid
in the third quarter of 2003 in connection with this acquisition was for the
equivalent of U.S.$83.0 million (Ps.940,088), which was financed with cash on
hand. At the time of acquisition, Telespecialidades net assets consisted
principally of 4,773,849 shares of the Company's capital stock in the form of
1,591,283 CPOs, which securities were previously owned by Televicentro, and tax
loss carryforwards for approximately Ps.7,062,177. Beginning June 30, 2003, the
Group recognizes the Company's shares owned by Telespecialidades as a share
repurchase.
 
     In April 2004, the Company sold its 30% minority interest in Grupo
Europroducciones, S.A., a television programming producer in Spain, in the
aggregate amount of approximately 7.5 million euros (Ps.116,246) in cash. As a
result of this disposal, the Company recognized a net loss of approximately 8.0
million euros (Ps.122,455) as other expense in its consolidated statement of
income for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
     In November 2004, the Group sold its 51% interest in its nationwide paging
service in Mexico. This transaction was approved by the Mexican regulatory
authorities in March 2005. As a result of this disposal, the Group recognized a
net loss of approximately Ps.5,105 as other expense in its consolidated
statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2004.

     During the second half of 2004, the Group acquired certain companies in an
aggregate amount of Ps.327,523 (Ps.230,636 in cash and Ps.96,887 through the
capitalization of liabilities), which net assets at the time of acquisitions
consisted principally of tax loss carryforwards in the amount of approximately
Ps.3,134,191, of which Ps.2,519,154 were used by the Group in 2004 and
Ps.615,037 are expected to be used by the Group in 2005. As a result of these
acquisitions, the Group recognized in its consolidated statement of income for
the year ended December 31, 2004, a net gain of approximately Ps.620,706 as an
income tax benefit (see Note 21).

---------------
 
(1) The Group accounts for this investment under the equity method due to the
    Group's continued ability to exercise significant influence over Univision's
    operations. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Group owned 16,594,500
    shares Class "A" and 13,593,034 shares Class "T" of common stock of
    Univision, as well as warrants to acquire 6,374,864 shares Class "A" and
    2,727,136 shares Class "T" of common stock of Univision (see Note 2).
    Substantially all of these warrants can be exercised at a price of
    U.S.$38.261 per share, and expire in December 2017. Any shares of Univision
    common stock owned by the Group and those shares of Univision common stock
    that may be purchased by the Group in connection with related warrants and
    warrant purchase agreements are intended to be held as equity securities
    accounted for under the equity method. The warrants to purchase 6,274,864
    shares of Univision Class "A" Common Stock and 2,725,136 shares of Univision
    Class "T" Common Stock are not accounted for at any cost since they were
    acquired by the Group as a consideration for surrendering certain governance
    rights previously held by the Group in Univision. In 2002, the Group
    recognized the acquisition cost of 100,000 warrants for an amount of
    Ps.22,890 as other investments since the shares that may be purchased
    through these instruments are intended to be held by the Group as an equity
    investment in Univision (see Notes 2 and 9). In September 2003, Univision
    and Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation ("HBC"), a leading Spanish-language
    radio group in the United States, completed a merger of their businesses. As
    a result of this merger, the Group (i) decreased its ownership in Univision
    from approximately 14.7% to 10.9% on a fully diluted basis; and (ii)
    increased the carrying value of its investment in Univision by recognizing a
    net other comprehensive income of approximately U.S.$250.6 million
    (Ps.2,958,940) in 2003 (see Note 15). The Group's ownership stake in
    Univision as of December 31, 2004, was approximately of 10.7% on a fully
    diluted basis. The quoted market price of Univision's common stock at
    December 31, 2003 and 2004, was U.S.$39.69 per share and U.S.$29.27 per
    share, respectively. The carrying value of the Group's net investment in
    Univision at December 31, 2004, which includes goodwill in the amount of
    Ps.5,552,363 (see Note 7), is in excess of the related quoted marked price
    as of that date. The Company believes

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
    that an impairment adjustment for a decline in the price of Univision's
    common stock at December 31, 2004 is not necessary since such decline is
    deemed temporary.
 
(2) General partnership engaged in providing technical services to DTH ventures
    in Latin America. During 2003 and 2004, the Group provided funding to DTH
    TechCo Partners ("TechCo") for approximately U.S.$7.5 million (Ps.88,659)
    and U.S.$4.5 million (Ps.49,693) in the form of long-term notes with
    principal and interest maturities in 2008, bearing annual interest rate of
    LIBOR plus 2.5%. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, promissory notes and
    accrued interest receivable due from TechCo were approximately U.S.$7.7
    million (Ps.90,596) and U.S.$12.6 million (Ps.140,285), respectively.
    Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Group made a capital
    contribution to TechCo in the amount of U.S.$0.9 million (Ps.9,927).
 
(3) In connection with the disposal of a Group's investment in 1997, the Group
    granted collateral to secure certain indemnification obligations which
    consisted, at December 31, 2003 and 2004, of short-term securities of
    approximately U.S.$13.2 million (Ps.156,375) and U.S.$12.6 million
    (Ps.140,404), respectively. After the expiration of applicable tax statutes
    of limitations, the collateral will be reduced to a de minimus amount. The
    collateral agreement will terminate in approximately three years (see Note
    12).
 
     In 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Group recognized in the consolidated statements
of income equity in losses (earnings) of affiliates of Ps.1,264,161,
(Ps.29,756), and (Ps.614,994), respectively, and in the consolidated other
comprehensive income or loss (see Note 15), equity in the loss (gain) from
holding non-monetary assets of affiliates of Ps.17, (Ps.66) and (Ps.12),
respectively, equity in the translation loss (gain) effect of affiliates of
Ps.116,996, (Ps.162,708) and Ps.145,464, respectively, and in 2003 and 2004,
equity in the gain on issuance of shares of associates of Ps.3,032,876 and
Ps.11,735, respectively.

     In 2002 and 2003, write-offs of unamortized goodwill in the amount of
Ps.1,166,689 and Ps.119,853, respectively, were recognized in connection with
the recoverability evaluation of certain long-lived assets of the Group (see
Note 20). In 2002, the write-off of unamortized goodwill was primarily related
to the operations of a television broadcasting subsidiary in San Diego.
 
     During 2004, the Group tested for impairment the carrying value of goodwill
and other intangible assets. As a result of such testing, impairment adjustments
were made to goodwill related primarily to the Group's Publishing Distribution
segment and trademarks in the amount of Ps.189,897 and Ps.40,103, respectively.
For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of the related
reporting unit was estimated using the expected present value of future cash
flows. These impairment adjustments were recognized in income as non-recurring
charges for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 (1) These securities are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company,
     rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured,
     unsubordinated obligations of the Company, are senior in right of payment
     to all future subordinated indebtedness of the Company, and are effectively
     subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of the Company's
     subsidiaries.
 
 (2) These Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company, rank equally
     in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured and
     unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company, and are junior in right of
     payment to all of the existing and future liabilities of the Company's
     subsidiaries. The agreement of these Senior Notes contains certain
     covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted
     subsidiaries engaged in Television Broadcasting, Pay Television Networks
     and Programming Exports, to incur or assume liens, perform sale and
     leaseback transactions, and consummate certain mergers, consolidations and
     similar transactions. Substantially all of these Senior Notes are
     registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Senior
     Notes due 2011 and 2032 were priced at 98.793% and 99.431%, respectively,
     for a yield to maturity of 8.179% and 8.553%, respectively.

 (3) Interest on Series "B" Senior Notes due 2006, and Senior Notes due 2005,
     2011 and 2032, including additional amounts payable in respect of certain
     Mexican withholding taxes, is 12.49%, 9.07%, 8.41% and 8.94% per annum,
     respectively, and is payable semi-annually. These Senior Notes may not be
     redeemed prior to maturity, except in the event of certain changes in law
     affecting the Mexican withholding tax treatment of certain payments on the
     securities, in which case the securities will be redeemable, as a whole but
     not in part, at the option of the Company.
 
 (4) In September 2003, Innova completed the offering of these U.S.$300.0
     million Senior Notes, bearing an interest at a coupon rate of 9.375%,
     payable semi-annually. These securities are unsecured and unsubordinated
     indebtedness of Innova and contain certain restrictive covenants for Innova
     on additional indebtedness, liens, sales and leasebacks, restricted
     payments, asset sales, and certain mergers, consolidations and similar
     transactions. Innova may, at its own option, redeem these Senior Notes, in
     whole or in part, at any time on or after September 19, 2008 at redemption
     prices from 104.6875% to 101.5625% between September 19, 2008 through
     September 18, 2011, or 100% commencing on September 19, 2011, plus accrued
     and unpaid interest, if any. Additionally, on or before September 19, 2006,
     Innova may, at its own option and subject to certain requirements, use the
     proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of
     the aggregate principal amount of these Senior Notes at 109.375% of their
     principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
 
 (5) Includes notes payable to banks, bearing annual interest rates which vary
     between 0.35 and 2.00 points above LIBOR. The maturities of this debt at
     December 31, 2004, are various from 2005 to 2010.
 
 (6) Notes denominated in Mexican Investment Units ("Unidades de Inversion" or
     "UDIs"), representing 1,086,007,800 UDIs, with an annual interest rate of
     8.15% and maturity in 2007. Interest on these notes is payable
     semi-annually. The balance as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 includes
     restatement of Ps.673,539 and Ps.838,729, respectively. The UDI value as of
     December 31, 2004, was of Ps.3.534716 per UDI.
 
 (7) In May 2003, May 2004 and October 2004, the Company entered into long-term
     credit agreements with a Mexican bank in an aggregate amount of Ps.800,000,
     Ps.1,162,500 and Ps.2,000,000, respectively, with maturities in 2004, 2006
     and 2008; in 2009; and in 2010 and 2012, respectively, and bearing annual
     interest rates of 8.925% plus additional basis points from 0 to 45 based on
     the maintenance of certain financial coverage ratios related to
     indebtedness, 9.70% and 10.35%, respectively, and payable on a monthly
     basis. The net proceeds of the long-term loans were primarily used to pay
     amounts outstanding under the Series "A" Senior Notes which matured in May
     2003, to prepay in 2004 all of the outstanding amounts of the U.S.$100
     million syndicated long-term loan which originally matured in 2005 and
     2006, and are intended to be used to refinance certain Company's debt
     maturing in 2005. Under the terms of these credit agreements, the Company
     and certain restricted subsidiaries engaged in television broadcasting, pay
     television networks and programming exports are required to maintain (a)
     certain financial coverage ratios related to indebtedness and interest
     expense; and (b) certain restrictive covenants on indebtedness, dividend
     payments, issuance and sale of capital stock, and liens.
 
 (8) In December 2004, Innova entered into a long-term credit agreement with a
     Mexican bank in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.1,012.0 million, which
     matures partially (50%) in 2010 and the remainder (50%) in 2011, and is
     guaranteed by the Company and News Corporation ("News Corp.") at 51% and
     49%, respectively. Interest on this loan is 10.55% per annum, and is
     payable on a monthly basis. In January 2005, the net proceeds of this loan
     were used by Innova to prepay all of the outstanding amounts of the
     U.S.$88.0 million Senior Notes due in 2007. Accordingly, this U.S.$88.0
     million long-term debt has been classified as short-term debt in the
     Group's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004.

     balances of Ps.120,411 at December 31, 2003, with equal quarterly
     installments ending July 2004, and bearing an annual interest rate of the
     Mexican interbank rate plus 45 basis points, payable on a monthly basis.
     The 2003 and 2004 balance also includes a long-term loan of Ps.168,305 and
     Ps.96,000, respectively, granted by a commercial Mexican bank in 2001 to
     refinance the redemption of the Company's Senior Discount Debentures then
     outstanding, with principal and interest thereof payable on a quarterly
     basis through May 2006 and annual interest rate equal to the Mexican
     interbank rate plus 30 basis points. The terms of this loan include certain
     financial ratios and covenants. The maturities of these loans at December
     31, 2004 are various from 2005 to 2006.
 
(10) Innova is committed to pay a monthly fee of U.S.$1.7 million per month
     under an agreement entered into with PanAmSat Corporation in February 1999
     for satellite signal reception and retransmission service from 12 KU-band
     transponders on satellite PAS-9, which became operational in September
     2000. The service term for PAS-9 will end at the earlier of (a) the end of
     15 years or (b) the date PAS-9 is taken out of service. The present value
     of Innova future obligations from the PAS-9 agreement was determined using
     the Innova incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date of
     11.5% (see Note 6). Through September 2004, the obligations of Innova under
     the PAS-9 agreement were proportionately guaranteed by the Company and the
     other Innova equity owners in relation to their respective ownership
     interests. Beginning October 2004, this obligation is being guaranteed by
     the Company at 51% (see Note 12).
 
  SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     On March 18, 2005, the Company issued U.S.$400.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2025, which were priced at 98.081%
for a yield to maturity of 6.802%. In connection with this financing, the
Company entered into a derivative transaction to hedge against interest rate
increases, netting the yield to maturity to approximately 6.74%. Interest on
these Senior Notes, including additional amounts payable in respect of certain
Mexican withholding taxes, is 6.97% per annum, and is payable semi-annually. The
net proceeds of that offering, together with cash on hand, will be used to fund
the Group's tender offers made on March 15, 2005 for any or all of the U.S.$300
million aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Senior Notes due 2011 and the
Mexican peso equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of 8.15%
UDI-denominated Notes due 2007. The tender offers for the Senior Notes due 2011
and the UDI-denominated Notes due 2007 will expire on March 21, 2005 and March
23, 2005, respectively.

9.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The Group's financial instruments recorded on the balance sheet include
cash, temporary investments, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable,
debt and derivative instruments. For cash, temporary investments, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and short-term notes payable due to banks and
other financial institutions, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to
the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Group's long-term
debt securities are based on quoted market prices. Escrow deposits (see Note 5)
bear interest at market rates and the carrying value approximates fair value.
 
     The fair value of warrants to purchase shares of Univision was based upon
an option pricing model. The fair value of the long-term loans that the Group
borrowed from leading Mexican banks (see Note 8) was estimated using the
borrowing rates currently available to the Group for bank loans with similar
terms and average maturities. The fair value of currency option, interest rate
swap and share put option agreements is based on quotes obtained from financial
institutions.

(1) In connection with the notes denominated in Mexican Investment Units
    ("Unidades de Inversion" or "UDIs"), during April, 2004, the Company entered
    into forward contracts with three financial institutions covering the total
    amount of UDIs payable at the maturity of the notes in 2007, through these
    contracts, the Company fixed the price of the UDI at Ps.3.41067 in exchange
    for payments of interest over the notional amount in pesos at an average
    rate of 4.06% with half-yearly payments. As of December 31, 2004, the
    Company recorded a net benefit of Ps.101,543 derived from the difference in
    the price of the UDI published by the Mexican Central Bank at that date and
    the price fixed in those contracts.
 
(2) In February 2004, Innova entered into coupon swap agreements to hedge a
    portion of its U.S. dollar foreign exchange exposure related to its Senior
    Notes due 2013. Under these transactions, Innova receives semi-annual
    payments calculated based on the aggregate notional amount of U.S.$300.0
    million at an annual rate of 9.375%, and Innova makes monthly payments
    calculated based on an aggregate notional amount of approximately
    Ps.3,282,225 at an annual rate of 10.25%. These transactions will terminate
    in September 2008.
 
(3) As of December 31, 2004, the Company entered into forward contracts with
    diverse financial institutions to buy U.S.$150.0 million of the Senior Notes
    due 2005 for hedge purposes. The average price fixed in these agreements is
    Ps.11.79 per U.S. dollar. As a result of the depreciation of the exchange
    rate of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Mexican peso, as of December 31,
    2004, the Company recorded a loss for Ps.24,149 in the integral cost of
    financing (foreign exchange gain or loss), which was calculated by comparing
    the spot exchange rates at the beginning of each contract with the exchange
    rate of the balance sheet date at year-end.
 
(4) In connection with the Senior Notes due 2011, in the fourth quarter of 2002,
    the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a financial
    institution in a notional amount of
 
                                       F-26

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
    U.S.$100.0 million. This agreement involved the exchange of amounts based on
    a fixed interest rate for amounts based on variable interest rates over the
    life of the agreement, without an exchange of the notional amount upon which
    the payments are based. The Company has recorded the change in value of this
    agreement in the integral cost of financing (interest expense). In June
    2003, the Company decided to unwind this agreement and received an amount in
    cash of approximately U.S.$4.6 million, which was recognized as a benefit
    from this transaction.
 
     In order to reduce the adverse effects of exchange rates on the Senior
Notes due 2011 and 2032, during 2004, the Company entered into interest rate
swap agreements with various financial institutions. Under these transactions,
the Company receives semi-annual payments based on the aggregate notional amount
of U.S.$550.0 million at an average annual rate of 8.27% and the Company makes
semi-annual payments based on an aggregate notional amount of approximately
Ps.6,177,000 at an average annual rate of 9.26%, without an exchange of the
notional amount upon which the payments are based. As of December 31, 2004, the
Company recorded a loss in the integral cost of financing (foreign exchange
loss) derived of comparing the interest payable calculated at the exchange rate
of the balance sheet date at year-end.
 
10.  DTH JOINT VENTURE PROVISIONS
 
     DTH joint venture provisions resulted from the Group's investments in
Innova and Sky Multi-Country Partners ("SMCP"), and the equity in losses of
these joint ventures recognized by the Group in excess of such investments and
up to the amount of the guarantees made by the Group in connection with certain
satellite transponder obligations of Innova and SMCP (see Notes 1(g) and 12). As
of December 31, 2003 and 2004, DTH joint venture provisions were as follows:
 


                                                                2003           2004

                                                            ============   ============

 
---------------
 
(1) Joint venture engaged in providing DTH broadcast satellite pay television
    services in Mexico, in which the Group has a 60% interest. During 2002 the
    Group provided long-term loans to Innova in the amount of approximately
    U.S.$17.7 million (Ps.202,574), bearing annual interest rate of 9.0%. In
    September 2003, the Group capitalized all of the amounts outstanding of
    long-term notes and interest receivable from Innova in connection with its
    60% interest in this joint venture for an aggregate amount of U.S.$234.5
    million (Ps.2,737,875). Through March 31, 2004, the Group accounted for its
    investment in Innova by applying the equity method, and recognized equity in
    losses in excess of its investment up to the amount of the guarantees made
    by the Group in connection with certain capital lease obligations of Innova.
    Beginning April 1, 2004, in accordance with the guidelines of the FIN 46,
    the Group began to include in its consolidated financial statements the
    assets, liabilities and results of operations of Innova, since the Group is
    considered the primary beneficiary of the risks and residual return of this
    variable interest entity (see Note 1 (g)). As a result of this accounting
    change, the Group recognized at April 1, 2004, a consolidated cumulative
    loss effect of Ps.1,021,590, net of income tax in the amount of Ps.309,093,
    in its consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31,
    2004, primarily in connection with Innova's accumulated losses not
    recognized by the Group in prior years and the first quarter of 2004.
 
(2) General partnership engaged in providing DTH broadcast satellite pay
    television services in Latin America outside of Mexico and Brazil, in which
    the Group has a 30% interest. The Group liability position in SMCP as of
    December 31, 2003, was net of long-term receivables due from SMCP of
 
                                       F-27

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
    approximately U.S.$13.1 million (Ps.155,169), in connection with loans
    provided to SMCP by the Group in 2003. Capital contributions made to SMCP by
    the Group in 2002 amounted to U.S.$14.8 million (Ps.169,441). In 2001, News
    Corp. made equity contributions in this partnership on behalf of the Group
    in the amount of U.S.$15.0 million (Ps.177,115), and in 2004, News Corp.
    contributed this same amount due from the Group as additional paid-in
    capital in Innova, from which the Group recognized a gain on issuance of
    shares of Ps.107,870 as other accumulated comprehensive income for the year
    ended December 31, 2004 (see Notes 15 and 17). In the fourth quarter of
    2003, a portion of the SMCP liability provision was reversed by the Group
    for an amount of approximately U.S.$38.9 million (Ps.459,571) in connection
    with the expected reduction of the SMCP lease obligation being guaranteed by
    the Group, resulting from a technical failure that shortened the remaining
    useful life of the satellite being leased by SMCP. This reversal was
    recognized by the Group as equity in earnings of affiliates in the
    consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2003. During
    2004, the Group provided funds to SMCP in the form of loans in the amount of
    approximately U.S.$7.2 million (Ps.80,273).
 
(3) In October 2004, in conjunction with a series of agreements entered into by
    the Group with DirecTV Group, Inc. ("DirecTV") and News Corp., the Group
    announced among other matters, that (a) DirecTV Mexico sold its subscriber
    list to Sky Mexico (see Note 12); (b) News Corp. received an option to
    purchase an equity stake in Sky Mexico; (c) the Group will acquire 2/3 of
    Liberty Media's 10% equity interest in Sky Mexico for a net amount of
    approximately U.S.$48.0 million, while News Corp. has agreed to acquire the
    remaining portion; and (d) the Group agreed to sell, subject to certain
    conditions, its 30% equity interest in SMCP, releasing the Group from its
    satellite transponder guarantee. As a result of these transactions, the
    Group's equity stake in Sky Mexico could be marginally reduced from 60% to
    57%, and News Corp.'s stake could increase from 30% to 43%. Additionally,
    the Group executed new agreements for the transmission of the Group's
    channels on Sky Mexico and DirecTV Latin America, and Sky Mexico has the
    option to extend the DTH business in Central America and certain Caribbean
    countries. As a result of these agreements, in 2004, the Group cancelled the
    provision for its guarantee in connection with satellite transponders of
    SMCP in the amount of approximately Ps.345,641, and recognized the benefit
    as equity in earnings of affiliates in the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
11.  PENSION PLANS AND SENIORITY PREMIUMS
 
     Certain companies in the Group have collective bargaining contracts which
include defined benefit pension plans for substantially all of their employees.
Additionally, the Group has a defined benefit pension plan for executives. All
pension benefits are based on salary and years of service rendered.
 
     Under the provisions of the Mexican labor law, seniority premiums are
payable based on salary and years of service, to employees who resign or are
terminated prior to reaching retirement age. Some companies in the Group have
seniority premium benefits which are greater than the legal requirement. After
retirement age employees are no longer eligible for seniority premiums.
 
     Pension and seniority premium amounts are actuarially determined by using
real assumptions (net of inflation) and attributing the present value of all
future expected benefits proportionately over each year from date of hire to age
65. The Group has used a 4% discount rate, 2% salary scale, and 5% return on
assets rate for 2002, 2003 and 2004. The Group makes voluntary contributions
from time to time to trusts for the pension and seniority premium plans which
are generally deductible for tax purposes. No cash contributions to the trusts
were made by the Group in 2001. In the fourth quarter of 2003 and third quarter
of 2004, the Group made a cash contribution of approximately Ps.37,940 and
Ps.69,939, respectively, to its pension and seniority premium plans. Plan assets
were invested in a portfolio that

primarily consisted of equity and debt securities (including shares of the
Company) as of December 31, 2003 and 2004. Pension and seniority premium
benefits are paid when they become due.
 
     The pension and seniority premium plan liability as of December 31, 2003
and 2004, was as follows:
 


                                                                2003          2004

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     At December 31, 2004, the Group had commitments in an aggregate amount of
Ps.692,439, of which Ps.599,418 related to commitments to Sky Mexico projects,
Ps.45,142 were construction commitments for building improvements and technical
facilities, Ps.32,527 were commitments for the acquisition of software and
related services, and Ps.15,352 related to purchase commitments to acquire
television technical equipment.
 
     In September 2001, the Company entered into a 50/50 programming joint
venture with Endemol, a world leading content developer and producer for
television and online platforms based in the Netherlands, to produce and develop
content for television and the Internet. As of December 31, 2004, the Group has
commitments to acquire from Endemol programming formats through this venture for
up to U.S.$24.5 million through 2006.
 
     At December 31, 2004, the Group made a commitment to acquire a subscriber
list from DirecTV for its Sky Mexico business, subject to certain conditions,
for up to Ps.621,112, which amount will be recognized as a liability in 2005, as
the subscribers on the list become official subscribers under the terms of the
related agreement (see Note 10).
 
     The Group has granted collateral in connection with certain indemnification
obligations (see Note 5), which includes a deposit of U.S.$12.6 million of
short-term securities as of December 31, 2004.
 
     In June 2003, the Company was notified by the Mexican tax authority, of a
federal tax claim made against the Company for approximately Ps.960,657,
including penalties and surcharges, for an alleged asset tax liability for the
year 1994. The Company believes it has meritorious defense against this claim.
 
     The Company has guaranteed approximately Ps.516,120, representing 51% of
Innova's obligation for a long-term credit agreement (see Note 8).
 
     Furthermore, the Group has guaranteed certain financing and lease
obligations of TechCo (see Note 5) for an amount of approximately U.S.$9.9
million (undiscounted). At December 31, 2004, the Group had commitments for
capital contributions and/or providing funds in the form of long-term loans in
2005 to TechCo, for up to U.S.$7.0 million.
 
     At December 31, 2004, the Group had the following aggregate minimum annual
commitments for the use of satellite transponders (other than transponders for
DTH television services described below):

                                                              ===========

 
     In October 2004, in conjunction with a series of agreements entered into by
the Company with DirecTV and News Corp., the Company entered into an amended and
restated guarantee related to Innova's minimum commitment for use of
transponders over a period ending 2015, pursuant to which the proportionate

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     In the fourth quarter of 2001, a former U.S. subsidiary of the Company
received final proposed adjustments in connection with U.S. Internal Revenue
Service audits for fiscal periods ended in 1995, 1996 and 1997. As a result of
these audits, the Group made U.S. federal and state income tax and interest
payments in 2001 and 2003 of approximately U.S.$14.0 million (Ps.148,898) and
U.S.$1.8 million (Ps.20,393), respectively. As of December 31, 2004, the Group
has accrued Ps.37,148 representing the Group's estimate of state and other tax
liabilities in connection with these matters. These matters did not have, and
the Group does not expect that they will have, a material adverse effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.
 
     There are other various legal actions and other claims pending against the
Group incidental to its businesses and operations. In the opinion of the Group's
management, none of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the
Group's financial position or results of operations.

     Under the Company's bylaws, the Company's Board of Directors consists of 20
members, of which the holders of Series "A" Shares, Series "B" Shares, Series
"D" Shares and Series "L" Shares, each voting as a class, are entitled to elect
eleven members, five members, two members and two members, respectively.
 
     Holders of Series "D" Shares are entitled to receive an annual, cumulative
and preferred dividend equivalent to 5% of the nominal capital attributable to
those Shares (nominal Ps.0.00034177575 per share) before any dividends are
payable in respect of Series "A" Shares, Series "B" Shares or Series "L" Shares.
Holders of Series "A" Shares, Series "B" Shares and Series "L" Shares are
entitled to receive the same dividends as holders of Series "D" Shares if
shareholders declare dividends in addition to the preferred dividend that
holders of Series "D" Shares are entitled to. If the Company is liquidated,
Series "D" Shares are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the nominal
capital attributable to those Shares (nominal Ps.0.00683551495 per share) before
any distribution is made in respect of Series "A", Series "B" Shares and Series
"L" Shares.
 
     In September 2002, in connection with the approval of the Company's
shareholders on April 30, 2002 to issue additional Series "A" Shares for the
Long-Term Retention Plan, which supplements the Company's existing stock
purchase plan, in an aggregate amount of up to 4.5% of the Company's outstanding
capital stock or 10,758,766,775 Series "A" Shares (a portion of the 8% of the
Company's capital stock previously authorized by the shareholders for these
plans), and in conjunction with preemptive rights exercised by certain existing
holders of Series "A" Shares, the Company increased its capital stock in the
amount of Ps.448 by issuing an additional 1,077,925 Series "A" Shares (not in
the form of CPOs), of which Ps.409 were recognized as additional paid-in
capital. In December 2003, the Company increased its capital stock in the amount
of Ps.4,232,221 by issuing the remaining additional 10,757,688,850 Series "A"
Shares (not in the form of CPOs), of which Ps.3,839,864 were recognized as
additional paid-in capital. Following this capital stock increase, the
10,757,688,850 Series "A" Shares were acquired by a Company's trust for the
purpose of implementing the Company's Long-Term Retention Plan.
 
     In April and December 2003, the Company's stockholders approved the
cancellation of 2,370,067,800 shares of capital stock in the form of 31,600,904
CPOs, which were repurchased by the Company in 2000 and 2003.
 
     In April 2004, the Company's stockholders approved a restructuring of the
Company's capital stock (the "Recapitalization"), which comprised the following:
(i) a 25-for-one stock split, which became effective on July 26, 2004 (all the
Company's share and per share data in these financial statements are presented
on a post-split basis); (ii) the creation of the Series "B" Shares; (iii) a
14-for-25 stock dividend in the amount of Ps.937,034 (nominal of Ps.906,114);
and (iv) an increase in the number of shares represented by each outstanding
CPO. The Recapitalization increased the number of the Company's shares by a
factor of 39 on a pre-split basis but did not affect the Company's total equity
or dilute the equity interest of any shareholder.
 
     At December 31, 2004, the restated tax value of the Company's common stock
was Ps.21,098,844. In the event of any capital reduction in excess of the tax
value of the Company's common stock, such excess will be treated as dividends
for income tax purposes (see Note 14).
 
 STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
 
     The Company adopted a stock purchase plan (the "Plan") that provides, in
conjunction with the long-term retention plan described below, for the grant and
sale of up to 8% of the Company's capital stock to key Group employees. Pursuant
to this Plan, through December 31, 2004, the Company had assigned approximately
118 million CPOs at market prices, subject to certain conditions, including
vesting

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
periods within five years from the time the awards are granted. The shares sold
pursuant to the Plan, some of which have been registered pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of the United
States, can only be transferred to the plan participants when the conditions set
forth in the Plan and the related agreements are satisfied. During 2003 and
2004, 5.0 million CPOs and approximately 42.5 million CPOs, respectively, were
exercisable pursuant to this Plan in the amount of Ps.75,420 and Ps.586,088,
respectively, and transferred to the Plan participants. In October 2004, those
Series "B", Series "D" and Series "L" Shares, together with certain Series "A"
Shares previously held by the trust, were exchanged by 3.4 million CPOs.
 
 LONG-TERM RETENTION PLAN
 
     In 2003, the Company designated a trust to implement a long-term retention
plan (the "Retention Plan") which supplements the Company's existing stock
purchase plan described above, and provides for the grant and sale of the
Company's capital stock to key Group employees. In December 2003, the designated
trust acquired approximately 10,757.6 million Series "A" Shares (not in the form
of CPOs) for the purposes of the Company's Retention Plan. As a result of the
Recapitalization described above and other related transactions, the trust
designated for the implementation of the Retention Plan received a number of
Series "B", Series "D" and Series "L" Shares against the delivery of the same
number of Series "A" Shares. In October 2004, those Series "B", Series "D" and
Series "L" Shares, together with certain Series "A" Shares previously held by
the trust, were exchanged by approximately 76.5 million CPOs. Shares assigned to
employees under the Retention Plan are estimated to be vested over a period
comprised between 2008 and 2023. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had
assigned approximately 50.0 million CPOs, at prices which vary between Ps.13.45
and Ps.28.05 per CPO, subject to certain conditions.
 
14.  RETAINED EARNINGS
 
     In accordance with Mexican law, the legal reserve must be increased by 5%
of annual net profits until it reaches 20% of the capital stock amount. In 2003
and 2004, the Company's stockholders approved increases to the legal reserve
amounting to Ps.40,350 and Ps.189,165, respectively. This reserve is not
available for dividends, but may be used to reduce a deficit or may be
transferred to stated capital. Other appropriations of profits require the vote
of the stockholders.
 
     As of December 31, 2004 the Company's stockholders had approved
appropriating from retained earnings a reserve amounting to Ps.6,959,847 for the
repurchase of shares, at the discretion of management. As of December 31, 2004,
this reserve has been used for an amount of Ps.1,400,539, in connection with the
cancellation of shares repurchased by the Company.
 
     In September 2002, the Company announced a share repurchase program of up
to U.S.$400 million (Ps.4,577,946) over the next three years. Under the terms of
the program, the Company may, at the discretion of management, acquire stock
subject to legal, market and other conditions at the time of purchase. In
connection with this program, the Company repurchased shares in the form of CPOs
in the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, as follows:

individual company basis under the provisions of the Mexican Income Tax Law. In
this case, dividends will be subject to a 42.86%, 40.85% or 38.89% income tax to

21.  INCOME TAX, ASSET TAX AND EMPLOYEES' PROFIT SHARING
 
     The Company is authorized by the Mexican tax authorities to compute its
income tax and asset tax on a consolidated basis. Mexican controlling companies
are allowed to consolidate, for income tax purposes, income or losses of their
Mexican subsidiaries up to a certain percentage of their share ownership in such
subsidiaries, which was 60% through December 31, 2004, and will be 100%
beginning January 1, 2005. The asset tax is computed on a fully consolidated
basis.
 
     The Mexican corporate income tax rate in 2002, 2003 and 2004 was 35%, 34%
and 33%, respectively. In accordance with the current Mexican Income Tax Law,
the corporate income tax rate in 2005 will be 30%, and will be gradually reduced
annually by 1% until it reaches 28% in 2007. Consequently, the effect of this
gradual decrease in the income tax rate reduced the Group's deferred income tax
liability in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
 
     Through 2001, companies were allowed to pay the income tax liability
computed at a 30% rate with the remaining 5% of the liability due when the
taxable income of the year is distributed to shareholders. At December 31, 2004,
the amount of payments deferred under this provision of the income tax law
totaled Ps.80,553.

(1) During 2002, 2003 and 2004, certain Mexican subsidiaries utilized
    unconsolidated operating tax loss carryforwards of Ps.1,146,559,
    Ps.6,748,889 and Ps.2,116,096, respectively.
 
(2) Approximately the equivalent of U.S.$105.9 million for subsidiaries in
    Spain, South America and the United States.

    generated by such subsidiary.
 
     The asset tax rate is 1.8%. The asset tax paid in excess of the income tax
in the previous ten years can be credited in future years if the amount of the
income tax in subsequent years is in excess of the assets tax. As of December
31, 2004, the Company had Ps.1,250,616 of asset tax subject to be credited and
expiring between 2007 and 2013.
 
     The Mexican companies in the Group are required by law to pay employees, in
addition to their agreed compensation and benefits, employee profit sharing at
the statutory rate of 10% based on their respective taxable incomes (calculated
without reference to inflation adjustments and tax loss carryforwards).

22.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
     In December 2001, in connection with a series of transactions the Group
reached an agreement with Univision to sell its music recording business in the
United States and Latin America, which sale was consummated in April 2002 (see
Note 2). Accordingly, the results of operations of the music recording business
are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in these
consolidated financial statements.
 
     Discontinued operations of the music recording segment are presented as
follows:

(1) In 2002, the costs and expenses related to the disposal of the Group's music
    recording operations, amounted to approximately Ps.942,165, which included
    fees of Ps.94,227 for financial advisory services provided to the Group by a
    professional services firm in which a current director of the Company
    maintains an interest, and advertising time for an aggregate amount of
    Ps.171,673 rendered and to be provided to Univision by the Group in a
    three-year period following this disposal (see Note 17). In 2003, the Group
    incurred approximately Ps.99,245 in additional costs and expenses related to
    this disposal.
 
     Summarized information on results of the discontinued music recording
operations for the period from January 1, 2002 through the closing date in March
2002, is as follows:
 


                                                                 2002

Income before income tax....................................      12,954
Income taxes................................................      11,103
Net income from discontinued operations.....................       1,851

 
     The results of the music recording segment reflected revenues, costs and
expenses related to the production and distribution (in Mexico and abroad) of
cassettes, compact disc recordings and records of Mexican and Latin American
artists, principally under three record labels which were wholly-owned by the
Group. Music recording segment revenues were derived primarily from sales of
recorded music and royalty revenues from the licensing of recordings to third
parties.

(1) Segment assets and liabilities information is not maintained by the Group
    for each of the television broadcasting, pay television networks and
    programming exports segments. In management's opinion, there is no
    reasonable or practical basis to make allocations due to the interdependence
    of these segments. Consequently, management has presented such information
    on a combined basis as television operations.

                                                              =============   =============

 
     The reconciliation to U.S. GAAP includes a reconciling item for the effect
of applying the option provided by the Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-10, "Recognition
of the Effects of Inflation on Financial Information" for the restatement of
equipment of non-Mexican origin because, as described below, this provision of
inflation accounting under Mexican GAAP does not meet the consistent reporting
currency requirement of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC").
 
     The reconciliation to U.S. GAAP does not include the reversal of the other
adjustments to the financial statements for the effects of inflation required
under Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-10, because the application of Bulletin B-10
represents a comprehensive measure of the effects of price level changes in the
inflationary Mexican economy and, as such, is considered a more meaningful
presentation than historical, cost-based financial reporting for both Mexican
and U.S. accounting purposes.
 
     Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-15, "Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
of Financial Statements of Foreign Operations" requires restating the financial
statements for all periods prior to the most recent period by using a
weighted-average factor which considers the inflation in Mexico and the other
countries in which the Group and its subsidiaries operate and the currency
exchange rate for the currency of each country as of the date of the most recent
balance sheet. The consistent reporting currency requirements of the SEC rules
require restatement of prior periods for general price level changes only,
utilizing the NCPI, and supplemental condensed financial statements utilizing
the NCPI are required for U.S. GAAP purposes. The Group utilized the NCPI to
restate its financial statements for prior years because the use of the
weighted-average factor prescribed by B-15 would not have produced a materially
different result.
 
  (a) Capitalization of financing costs, net of depreciation
 
     Mexican GAAP allows, but does not require, capitalization of financing
costs as part of the cost of assets under construction. Financing costs
capitalized include interest costs, gains from monetary position and foreign
exchange losses.
 
                                       F-55

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     U.S. GAAP requires the capitalization of interest during construction on
qualifying assets. With price level restated financial statements, acceptable
practice is to capitalize interest net of the monetary gain on the related
Mexican Peso debt, but not monetary gain on U.S. dollar or other stable currency
debt. U.S. GAAP does not allow the capitalization of foreign exchange losses.
 
  (b) Deferred costs, net of amortization
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, certain development costs (including those related to
web site development) and other deferred costs are capitalized and subsequently
amortized on a straight-line basis once the related venture commences
operations, defined as the period when revenues are generated. In addition,
other expenditures which are expected to generate significant and identifiable
future benefit are also capitalized and amortized over the expected future
benefit period.
 
     Under U.S. GAAP, development and other deferred costs are generally
expensed as incurred given that the assessment of future economic benefit is
uncertain. In the case of web site development costs, certain costs are
capitalized and others expensed in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-2,
"Accounting for Web Site Development Costs". Consequently, the U.S. GAAP net
income reconciliation reflects the write-off, for U.S. GAAP purposes, of the
preoperating and other deferred costs (including certain web site development
costs) capitalized under Mexican GAAP, net of the reversal of any amortization
which is reflected under Mexican GAAP. In 2003 and 2004, there were no
additional capitalizations under Mexican GAAP and therefore, the U.S. GAAP
adjustment reflects the reversal of the Mexican GAAP amortization. For the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2004, the U.S. GAAP net income adjustment reflects
the net impact of reversing the amounts capitalized under Mexican GAAP and any
related amortization recorded under Mexican GAAP.
 
  (c) Equipment restatement, net of depreciation
 
     The Group restates equipment of non-Mexican origin using the Specific Index
for determining the restated balances under Mexican GAAP. Under Regulation S-X
of the SEC, the restatement of equipment of non-Mexican origin by the Specific
Index under the provisions of Bulletin B-10 is a deviation from the historical
cost concept. The NCPI factors applied to restate equipment of non-Mexican
origin were 5.70%, 3.98% and 5.20% in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The
U.S. GAAP net income and stockholders' equity reconciliations reflect
adjustments to reverse the Specific Index restatement recognized under Mexican
GAAP and to restate equipment of non-Mexican origin by the NCPI and recalculate
the depreciation expense on this basis. Consequently, the deficit from
restatement adjustment recognized in stockholders' equity under Mexican GAAP
related to fixed assets totaling Ps.(306,120) and Ps.18,893 for the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, has been reversed for U.S. GAAP
purposes.
 
  (d) Purchase accounting adjustments
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, the excess of the purchase price over the adjusted net
book value of enterprises acquired is recorded as goodwill and amortized over a
period not to exceed twenty years.
 
     Under U.S. GAAP, the purchase method of accounting, for acquisitions prior
to June 1, 2001, requires the acquiring Group to record at fair value the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, including deferred income taxes on existing
temporary differences. The difference between the purchase price and the sum of
the fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets less liabilities
assumed, whether or not previously recorded by the acquired enterprise, is
recorded as goodwill. The U.S. GAAP adjustments prior to the adoption of SFAS
142 described below, reflected the difference in the amortization expense of
goodwill and other purchase price adjustments resulting from the application of
the purchase method for U.S. GAAP and the accounting under Mexican GAAP
described above related to the acquisition of Bay City Television, Inc. ("Bay
City") and Radiotelevision, S.A. de C.V. in July 1996. For U.S. GAAP

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
purposes, the purchase price has been allocated, based on fair values primarily
to the broadcast license and network affiliation agreement, programming and
advertising contracts, fixed assets, other assets and goodwill. Such purchase
price adjustments are amortized over the remaining estimated useful lives of the
respective assets, which is 15 years for fixed assets and 20 for other assets.
Upon the adoption of the new accounting standard on goodwill and other
intangible assets (described below) on January 1, 2002, the Group ceased
amortizing the broadcast license and network affiliation agreement, as they were
considered to have indefinite lives, as well as the amount allocated to
goodwill. Notwithstanding, following new EITF Issue No. 03-9 Interaction of
Determination of the Useful Life and Amortization of an Intangible Asset, in
2003 the Company re-assessed the useful life of its network affiliation
agreement and concluded that it constitutes a definite lived intangible.
Consequently, in 2003 the Company restarted amortizing the remaining carrying
value of its network affiliation agreement amounting to Ps.35,829 over the
remaining life of the contract, which is 6 years. In addition, on January 1,
2002, the Group recorded a non-cash impairment charge relating to the broadcast
license and network affiliation agreement (Ps.838,868, net of tax benefit of
Ps.457,586) and the goodwill in Bay City (Ps.553,816) (described below).
 
     On October 19, 2000, the Group acquired all of the interest owned by a
minority shareholder in its majority-owned subsidiary, Editorial Televisa, by
issuing 172,922,325 shares of capital stock in the form of 57,640,775 CPOs.
Under Mexican GAAP, this acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the
related purchase price was determined using the carrying value of the Group's
treasury shares at the acquisition date, with a related goodwill of Ps.81,863
and an additional paid-in capital of Ps.228,524 being recognized. Under U.S.
GAAP, this acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method, and the related
purchase price was determined by using the fair value of the shares issued by
the Group as consideration for the minority interest acquired. The additional
purchase price adjustment under U.S. GAAP was allocated to goodwill and
amortized through December 31, 2001. Upon the adoption of the new accounting
standard on goodwill and other intangible assets effective January 1, 2002
(described below), this amount is no longer amortized, but subject to an annual
impairment test.
 
     In 1999, the Group exercised warrants to acquire an additional interest in
Univision. Under Mexican GAAP, the Group recognized the excess of its underlying
equity in the net assets of Univision over the cost of the investment in income.
Under U.S. GAAP, the additional investment in Univision was accounted for as a
purchase with the difference between the investors' cost and underlying equity
in the net assets of the investee at the date of acquisition being accounted for
as goodwill and amortized over the remaining estimated useful lives of the
underlying assets. The unamortized balance of negative goodwill totaling
Ps.342,438 that arose on this transaction was written off on January 1, 2002 and
was reflected as part of "Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle"
in the accompanying U.S. GAAP reconciliation, pursuant to the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141").
 
     In addition, as described in Note 2, the Group also entered into a series
of transactions with Univision by which, among other things, the Group acquired
375,000 non-voting preferred shares of Univision stock, which converted in
February 2002, into 10,594,500 shares of Univision Class "A" Common Stock and
2,725,136 shares of Univision Class "B" Common Stock, and 6,000,000 shares of
Univision Class "A" Common Stock as partial consideration for the sale of its
music recording business. Under Mexican GAAP, the Group recognized the excess of
its underlying equity in the net assets of Univision over the cost of the
additional investments as goodwill. Under U.S. GAAP, the additional investments
were each accounted for as a purchase with the difference between the investors'
cost and underlying equity in the net assets of the investee at the date of
acquisition being accounted for as goodwill. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, the
Group recognized goodwill on these acquisitions amounting to Ps.5,050,700.

  (e) Goodwill and other intangible assets
 
     During 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which requires that, effective January 1, 2002,
goodwill, including the goodwill included in the carrying value of investments
accounted for using the equity method of accounting, and certain other
intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life, cease amortizing.
The new rules also require that goodwill and certain intangible assets be
assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques.
 
     The Group recorded a Ps.1,348,317 non-cash charge (net of a write off of
negative goodwill of Ps.342,438 and tax benefit of Ps.457,586) for the
impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets upon completion of its
initial impairment reviews pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1,
2002. The charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in
the accompanying U.S. GAAP reconciliation. The charge reduced the carrying value
of goodwill in the Group's Television Broadcasting and Publishing Distribution
segments by Ps.553,816 and Ps.287,133, respectively. The impairment in the
Group's Television Broadcasting segment relates to the operations of Bay City,
were adversely affected by an increase in operational costs resulting from the
start up of a local news center in the frame of the Company's business strategy
and the commitments assumed under the network affiliation agreement signed with
Fox, as well as from increased competition. The impairment in the Group's
Publishing Distribution segment related primarily to the operations of Grupo
Distribuidoras Intermex, S.A. de C.V. ("Distribuidoras Intermex"), as a result
of increased competition and decreasing margins of its South American
operations. The fair values of Bay City and Distribuidoras Intermex, as separate
reporting units, were determined using expected present value of future cash
flows.
 
     The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment under U.S. GAAP
for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, are as follows:

(1) Indefinite-lived
 
(2) Includes translation effect, impairment adjustments and acquisitions (see
    Note 7)
 
     The aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets subject to
amortization under U.S. GAAP, is estimated at Ps.107,485 for each of the next
five fiscal years.
 
     As described in Note 1 (i), under Mexican GAAP, until January 1, 2003, all
intangible assets were amortized over their estimated useful life. Bulletin C-8
was adopted starting January 1, 2003, and consequently, trademarks and the
television network concession were recognized as having indefinite lives and
were no longer amortized. Accordingly, amortization of these indefinite-lived
intangible assets ceased in 2002 for U.S. GAAP and in 2003 for Mexican GAAP.
 
     In addition, as described in Note 1 (i), under Mexican GAAP, effective
January 1, 2004, with the adoption of Bulletin B-7 goodwill is no longer
amortized but subject to an annual impairment test. As a result, the U.S. GAAP
net income reconciliation for the year ended December 31, 2004 no longer
includes a reconciling item for goodwill amortization. In addition, as described
in Note 7, in 2004, the Group recognized for Mexican GAAP purposes impairment
charges totaling Ps.172,776 related to the Publishing Distribution segment.
Given that the Publishing Distribution segment impairment charge had been
previously been recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes upon adoption of SFAS 142 in
2002, this Mexican GAAP impairment adjustment has been reversed in the U.S. GAAP
2004 net income reconciliation.
 
  (f) Equity method investees
 
     The effect of applying U.S. GAAP to the Group's equity investees, as it
relates to Innova (through March 31, 2004), SMCP (through October 2004),
Univision and other minor investees, has been included in the Group's U.S. GAAP
reconciliation.
 
     The schedules below present, under U.S. GAAP, summarized statements of
operations for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, and balance
sheet information as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 for the significant
investments that were accounted for under the equity method.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  INNOVA
 
     The primary difference between Innova's Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP net
earnings is due to satellite transponder and reorientation cost adjustments, the
recognition of the derivative financial instruments, the recognition of revenue
and the adjustment to depreciation expense for the inflation restatement of
fixed assets of non-Mexican origin. Under Mexican GAAP, Innova established an
accrual and recognized non-recurring losses for the redundant use of
transponders as well as antenna reorientation costs. Under U.S. GAAP, the
redundant satellite costs would not be accrued and along with the antenna
reorientation costs, would be expensed as incurred. In addition, under Mexican
GAAP, Innova restates its equipment of non-Mexican origin using the Specific
Index while for U.S. GAAP, this equipment is restated to constant currency using
the change in the NCPI.
 
     In addition, for Mexican GAAP purposes, prior to 2002, the Group decided to
discontinue the recognition of equity losses with respect to its investment in
Innova. Under U.S. GAAP, the Group continued to equity account Innova's results
of operations since the Group has guaranteed certain of its obligations and is
committed to provide further financial support for Innova. Hence, the U.S. GAAP
net income reconciliation adjustments for 2002 and 2003 also reflect the
difference in the equity in earnings recognized under Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP
for Innova. In 2004, Innova was consolidated under Mexican GAAP and
consequently, all previously unrecognized losses were recognized under Mexican
GAAP as a cumulative effect adjustment. The U.S. GAAP net income adjustment for
2004 reflects the reversal of the Mexican GAAP cumulative effect adjustment
since as explained above, all equity method losses had continued to be
recognized on a U.S. GAAP basis.
 
  SMCP
 
     As mentioned in Note 10, during 2003 and 2004, under Mexican GAAP, the
Group ceased recognizing additional equity losses in SMCP since its investment
balance had already recognized losses up to the amount of its expected
proportional guarantee of SMCP's satellite transponder obligation. Due to a
series of events which are more fully described in Note 10, during 2003 and
2004, the Group has reversed for Mexican GAAP purposes, its estimated liability
related to the guarantee. Under U.S. GAAP, the Group continued to account for
SMCP under the equity method of accounting through October 2004 when it
announced its intention to dispose of its interest in the investment.
Consequently, the U.S. GAAP adjustment reflects the reversal of the benefit
recognized under Mexican GAAP in 2003 and 2004, in addition to the continued
recognition of the equity method losses.
 
     UNIVISION
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, the convertible preference shares of Univision received
in 2002 were initially accounted for at cost, with the equity method applied
from the date of conversion into Univision Class "A" and Class "B" Common Stock.
Under U.S. GAAP, the equity method was applied retroactively to these shares
upon conversion, in a manner consistent with the accounting for a "step"
acquisition of a subsidiary. In addition, the U.S. GAAP adjustments for 2002 and
2003 reflect the reversal of the Mexican GAAP amortization of goodwill and 2002
also reflects the reversal of the Mexican GAAP amortization of other indefinite
lived intangibles of the equity investee. No adjustments were necessary for 2004
as goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles are no longer amortized for Mexican
GAAP purposes.
 
     (g) Adjustment to gain on sale of music recording business
 
     As described in Note 2 and in (d) above, the Group disposed of its music
recording business to Univision in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of Univision
Class "A" Common Stock and warrants to purchase, at an exercise price of
U.S.$38.261 per share, 100,000 shares of Univision Class "A" Common Stock. The
sale, which was consummated in April 2002, was accounted for at fair value under
both
                                       F-62

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
Mexican and U.S. GAAP. The fair value of the proceeds exceeded the carrying
value of music recording business and, under Mexican GAAP, the Group recognized
a 100% of the gain arising on the disposal of the business. Under U.S. GAAP
however, although the fair value of the proceeds exceeded the carrying value of
the assets by the same amount, the Group only recognized the portion of the gain
that has effectively been sold to third parties. The U.S. GAAP adjustment
therefore eliminates a portion of the gain recognized under Mexican GAAP
attributable to the Group's interest in Univision, immediately after the
transaction.
 
     (h) Derivative financial instruments
 
     The Group's activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including
risks related to the effects of changes in foreign-currency exchange rates,
inflation and interest rates. These financial exposures are monitored and
managed by the Group in the Risk Management Committee which reports to the
Executive Committee. The Group's risk management program focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially
adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on its operating
results.
 
     The Group uses currency option agreements to protect its exposure to
changes in the exchange rates created by its U.S. dollar-denominated debt. The
Group also uses derivative financial instruments to minimize significant,
unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in interest
rates. The Group's specific goals are to (1) manage interest rate sensitivity by
modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics of some of its debt and (2)
lower (where possible) the cost of its borrowed funds. Fluctuations in interest
rates create an unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the market value of
the Group's fixed-rate debt when that market value is compared with the cost of
the borrowed funds.
 
     By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in
exchange rates and interest rates, the Group exposes itself to credit risk and
market risk. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty might fail to fulfill
its performance obligations under the terms of the derivative contract. When the
fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the
Group, which creates repayment risk for the Group. When the fair value of a
derivative contract is negative, the Group owes the counterparty and, therefore,
does not assume repayment risk. The Group minimizes its credit (or repayment)
risk in derivative instruments by (1) entering into transactions with
high-quality counterparties (2) limiting the amount of its exposure to each
counterparty, and (3) monitoring the financial condition of its counterparties.
Market risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be
adversely affected by a change in interest rates and currency exchange rates.
The Group manages the market risk associated with interest rate and
foreign-exchange contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit
the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
 
     As further described in Note 9, during 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Group
entered into currency option agreements, UDI forward contracts, interest rate
option agreements, interest rate swap agreements, currency swap agreements and
written put option agreements on its own shares. Under Mexican GAAP, the Group
recorded these derivative instruments, which qualify for hedge accounting, on
the balance sheet, on the same basis of the hedged assets or liabilities, and
changes in value are recorded in each period in the income statement. However,
for U.S. GAAP purposes, these derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge
accounting, and as such, they should be recorded on the balance sheet at their
fair value with changes in fair values taken directly to the income statement.
 
     The Group manages the currency exposure related to the net assets of
Univision through the U.S. dollar-denominated debt agreements that the Group
enters into (its U.S.$300 million Senior Notes due 2011 and its U.S.$300 million
Senior Notes due 2032). The Group generally hedges the total beginning-period
amount of the net investment up to the total amount of hedging U.S.
dollar-denominated debt and measures ineffectiveness of such hedge based upon
the change in the spot foreign exchange rate.

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
Gains and losses in Group's net investment in Univision are offset by exchange
losses and gains in the Group's debt obligations, which are charged or credited
to other comprehensive income or loss.
 
     As described in Note 5, the Group received warrants for 9,000,000 Class A
Common Shares of Univision in 2001 in exchange for the relinquishing of certain
governance rights related to its investment in Univision. Under Mexican GAAP,
the warrants have not been assigned a value since they are related to an equity
investee and it is management's intent not to dispose of such warrants, but
rather to exercise such warrants prior to their expiration. Under U.S. GAAP,
SFAS 133, due to the cashless exercise feature of the warrants, the warrants are
considered derivative financial instruments. In accordance with EITF Issue No.
00-8, "Accounting by a Grantee for an Equity Instrument to Be Received in
Conjunction with providing Goods or Services", they must be recorded at their
fair value from the date of performance commitment.
 
     As described in Note 1(c), under Mexican GAAP the Group designated its net
investment in Univision as being a hedge of the U.S. dollar-denominated debt.
However, this different designation has no significant effect in the U.S. GAAP
reconciliation.
 
     For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, Ps.493,333 and Ps.(42,643),
respectively, of net losses (gains) related to the foreign-currency-denominated
debt agreements were included in the Group's cumulative translation adjustment.
 
  (i) Pension plan and seniority premiums
 
     For U.S. GAAP purposes, pension plan costs and seniority premiums have been
determined in accordance with SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions"
("SFAS 87"), which became effective for the Group on January 1, 1989, whereas,
for Mexican GAAP purposes, the Group adopted Bulletin D-3 "Labor Obligations,"
effective January 1, 1993. Therefore, the difference between Mexican GAAP and
U.S. GAAP is due to the difference in implementation dates. Such difference is
determined by separate actuarial computations for each year under both SFAS 87
and Bulletin D-3.
 
     The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its plans.
 
     COMPONENTS OF NET PERIODIC BENEFIT COST
 
     The components of net periodic pension and seniority premium plan cost as
of December 31, calculated in accordance with SFAS 87, consist of the following:

     WEIGHTED-AVERAGE ASSUMPTIONS USED TO DETERMINE NET PERIODIC BENEFIT COST
     FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31
 
     The assumptions used to determine the pension obligation and seniority
premiums as of year-end and net costs in the ensuing year were:
 


                                                              2002   2003   2004
                                                              ----   ----   ----
                                                                   
Weighted average discount rate..............................   4%     4%     4%
Rate of increase in future compensation levels..............   2%     2%     2%
Expected long-term rates of return on plan assets...........   5%     5%     5%

 
     The long-term asset return rate is based on the annual recommendations of
the Actuarial Commission of the Mexican Association of Consulting Actuaries
(AMAC), which in turn based its recommendation on historical average real
interest rates of Treasury Bills (CETES) for the last twenty years. AMAC
recommends an asset return between 0 and 400 basis points above discount rate
used to estimate the benefit obligation. According to such recommendation, the
Group used a 4% discount rate and a 5% asset return rate, which is 100 basis
points higher than the discount rate.

     PLAN ASSETS
 
     The Company's weighted average asset allocation by asset category as of
December 31 was as follows:
 


                                                              2003    2004

Equity securities...........................................   54.3%   63.4%
Fixed rate instruments......................................   45.7%   36.6%
                                                              -----   -----

                                                              =====   =====

 
     Included within plan assets at December 31, 2003 and 2004 are shares held
by the trust in the Group with a fair value of Ps.507,510 and Ps.724,139,
respectively (54.3% and 63.4% of total plan assets, respectively).
 
     The plan assets are invested according to specific investment guidelines
determined by the technical committees of the pension plan and seniority
premiums trusts. These investment guidelines require to invest a minimum of 30%
of the plan assets in fixed rate instruments, or mutual funds comprised of fixed
rate instruments. The plan assets that are invested in mutual funds are all
rated "AA" or better by at least one of the main rating agencies. These mutual
funds vary in liquidity characteristics ranging from one day to one month. The
investment goals of the plan assets are to preserve principal, diversify the
portfolio, maintain a high degree of liquidity and credit quality, and deliver
competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions. Currently, the plan
assets do not engage in the use of financial derivative instruments.
 
     The Group has substantially funded its projected benefit obligation as of
December 31, 2004, accordingly, the Group does not expect to make significant
contributions to its plan assets in 2005.
 
  (j) Employee stock option plans
 
     STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
 
     As described in Note 13, the Group adopted a stock purchase plan, as
amended (the "Purchase Plan"), under which a specific number of awards to
purchase CPOs are granted and sold to eligible employees. Pursuant to the
Purchase Plan, ownership of the CPOs is not transferred until certain conditions
are met. In accordance with the Purchase Plan, a trust administered by a Mexican
financial institution is being used to implement the Plan (the "Trust"). The
technical committee of the Trust may also authorize anticipated sales in the
open market by the trustee of a portion of the CPOs granted and sold to
employees in order to settle the purchase price (a "cashless transaction").
 
     Under the Purchase Plan, all awards are granted at an exercise price
ranging from approximately Ps.11.21 to Ps.19.10 or from U.S.$1.04 to U.S.$1.71
(Initial Price) per CPO, in certain cases, to be adjusted by a rate ranging from
2% to 6% per annum (depending upon whether the purchase price is paid in pesos
or U.S. dollars) (Adjusted Price) accruing from the date of the contract to the
date of exercise.

                     GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     Under the terms of the Purchase Plan, the awards generally vest within five
years depending on certain variables. The Group will transfer the CPOs to the
participant at the end of each vesting period if the participant settles the
payment of the Initial Price or the Adjusted Price and continues as an employee
of the Group or any of its subsidiaries.
 
     LONG-TERM RETENTION PLAN
 
     As described in Note 13, the Group adopted a long-term retention plan (the
"Retention Plan"), which supplements the Group's existing Purchase Plan, under
which a specific number of awards to purchase CPOs or CPO equivalents are
granted and sold to eligible employees. Pursuant to the Retention Plan,
ownership of the CPOs is not transferred until certain conditions are met. In
accordance with the Retention Plan, a trust administered by a Mexican financial
institution is being used to implement the Plan.
 
     Under the Retention Plan, all awards were granted at an exercise price
ranging from approximately Ps.13.45 to Ps.28.05 per CPO, and the awards are
estimated to vest over a period comprised between 2008 and 2023.
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, the Group recognizes no compensation expense for its
employee stock plans. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Group applies Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and
its related interpretations ("APB 25") to account for stock-based compensation.
In accordance with APB 25, the Company recognizes compensation expense for its
employee stock plans using the intrinsic-value method of accounting. Under the
terms of the intrinsic-value method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of
the market price of the stock at the grant date, or other measurement date, over
the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation cost is
accrued over the vesting/performance periods and adjusted for subsequent changes
in fair market value of the shares from the measurement date.
 
     The Company has elected to continue to account for its stock based
compensation in accordance with the provision of APB 25 and present the pro
forma disclosures required by SFAS 123 as amended by SFAS 148.
 
     At December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Group had granted approximately 83
million, 83 million and 170 million CPOs, respectively, under its employee stock
plans. Had the compensation cost of these plans been determined based on the
fair value of the options at date of grant using the provisions of
 
                                       F-67

     As of December 31, 2004, the weighted-average remaining contractual life of
the awards under the long-term retention plan is 5.1 years.
 
  (k) Production and film costs
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, the Group capitalizes production costs related to
programs, which benefit more than one period, and amortizes them proportionately
over the projected program revenues that are based on the Group's historic
revenue patterns for similar types of production. For Mexican GAAP purposes,
royalty agreements that are not individual film-specific are considered in
projecting program revenues to capitalize related production costs.
 
     Under U.S. GAAP, the Group follows the provisions of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 00-2, "Accounting by
Producers or Distributors of Films" ("SoP 00-2"). Pursuant to SoP 00-2,
production costs related to programs are also capitalized and amortized over the
period in which revenues are expected to be generated (ultimate revenues). In
evaluating ultimate revenues, the Group uses projected program revenue on a
program-by-program basis, taking into consideration secondary market revenue
only for those programs where a firm commitment or licensing arrangement exists
related to specific individual programs. For U.S. GAAP purposes, royalty
agreements that are not individual film-specific are not considered in the
ultimate revenues. Exploitation costs are expensed as incurred. The Group
expects to amortize all of its unamortized film costs over the next year.
 
     In addition, Mexican GAAP allows the capitalization of artist exclusivity
contracts and literary works subject to impairment assessments, whereas U.S.
GAAP is generally more restrictive as to their initial capitalization.
 
  (l) Deferred income taxes
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, the Group applies the provisions of Bulletin D-4,
"Accounting for Income Tax, Assets Tax and Employees' Profit Sharing", which
uses the comprehensive asset and liability method for the recognition of
deferred income taxes for existing temporary differences.
 
     Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"),
requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
     The components of the net deferred tax liability applying SFAS 109 consist
of the following:

                                               =============   ============   ==========

 
     For purposes of the U.S. GAAP, the Group has charged (credited)
Ps.1,373,526, Ps. (613,003) and Ps.265,538 of the change for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2003, and 2004 respectively, in SFAS 109 deferred income tax
and EPS liabilities to income, and has charged (credited) Ps.178,176, Ps.87,264
and Ps.(4,281), respectively, of deferred income tax liability and deferred EPS
directly to stockholders' equity relating to the result from holding
non-monetary assets and translation effect of foreign subsidiaries.
 
     As disclosed in Note 2, in June 2003, the Company completed the acquisition
of Telespecialidades from the shareholders of Televicentro, paying approximately
U.S.$83 million. At the time of acquisition, Telespecialidades's net assets
consisted principally of 4,773,849 shares of the Company as well as a deferred
tax asset for net operating loss carryforwards of approximately Ps.7,062,177 and
a related full valuation allowance. Under Mexican GAAP, the difference between
the purchase price of U.S.$83 million Ps.(940,088) and the historical cost basis
of the net assets acquired was recognized on the balance sheet as a deferred tax
asset amounting to Ps.845,891. Subsequent incremental amounts realized in the
2003 tax return amounting to Ps.1,446,370 resulting from the use of these net
loss carryforwards were recognized in the income statement. For U.S. GAAP
purposes, since the Company and Telespecialidades were under common control, the
transaction was accounted for on a historical cost basis with the difference
between the purchase price and the historical cost basis of the net assets
acquired being accounted for as an adjustment to shareholders' equity. In
addition, the Company accounted for the utilization of the acquired net
operating loss carryforwards as a capital contribution.
 
     A roll-forward of the Group's valuation allowance for 2004 is as follows:

(m) Maintenance reserve
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, it is acceptable to accrue for certain expenses which
management believes will be incurred in subsequent periods. Under U.S. GAAP,
these costs are expensed as incurred.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
(n) Minority interest
 
     This adjustment represents the allocation to the minority interest of
non-wholly owned subsidiaries of certain U.S. GAAP adjustments related to such
subsidiaries.
 
     In addition, under Mexican GAAP, the minority interest in consolidated
subsidiaries is presented as a separate component within the stockholders'
equity section in the consolidated balance sheet. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the
minority interest is not included in stockholders' equity.
 
(o) Effects of inflation accounting on U.S. GAAP adjustments
 
     In order to determine the net effect on the consolidated financial
statements of recognizing the adjustments described above, it is necessary to
recognize the effects of applying the Mexican GAAP inflation accounting
provisions (described in Note 1) to such adjustments.
 
     In addition, as disclosed in Notes 18 and 21, under Mexican GAAP Bulletin
D-4, effective 2000, the monetary gain or loss generated by the monetary
temporary differences are reflected within the integral cost of financing while
those related to the non-monetary items are reflected within the deferred tax
provision. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Group has historically followed the
provisions of EITF Issue No. 93-9 and reflected the entire monetary gain or loss
within the provision for deferred taxes. Consequently for 2002, 2003 and 2004,
the Ps.88,592, Ps.57,525 and Ps.121,819, respectively, of monetary gain
reflected within integral result of financing under Mexican GAAP has been
reclassified to the deferred tax provision under U.S. GAAP.
 
     ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
 
     Presentation in the financial statements -- Operating income
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, the Group recognizes various costs as non-operating
expenses, which would be considered operating expenses under U.S. GAAP. Such
costs include primarily amortization of goodwill, the write-off of certain
receivables, the write-off of program inventories, write-off of exclusive rights
letters for soccer players, disputed or contractual letters of credit, certain
financial advisory and professional fees, restructuring charges and employees'
profit sharing expense (see Notes 19, 20 and 22). The differences relate
primarily to the Television Broadcasting and Publishing segments. Operating
income of the Television Broadcasting segment would have been Ps.3,786,827,
Ps.7,337,682 and Ps.6,494,764 and operating income of the Publishing segment
would have been Ps.245,682, Ps.353,454 and Ps.406,423 for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
 
     Presentation in the financial statements -- Discontinued operations
 
     As more fully disclosed in Note 22, under Mexican GAAP, in 2002 and 2003,
the Group has reflected as a discontinued operation the Music Recording segment
that it sold to Univision, its equity investee. Under U.S. GAAP, pursuant to
Staff Accounting Bulletin 5-Z, the disposition of a business in which the seller
retains an interest, either directly or indirectly, and over which it has
continuing significant influence, is not presented as a discontinued operation.
Summarized condensed results of operation information for the Music recording
business for the year ended December 31, 2002 is reflected in Note 22.
 
     To provide a better understanding of the differences in accounting
standards, the table below presents the Group's condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and
2004 under U.S. GAAP in a format consistent with the presentation of U.S. GAAP

     Presentation in the financial statements -- Earnings per CPO and per share
 
     As disclosed in Note 13, the Group has four classes of capital stock,
Series "A", Series "B", Series "L" and Series "D". Holders of the Series "D"
shares, and therefore holders of the CPOs, are entitled to an annual, cumulative
and preferred dividend of approximately nominal Ps.0.00034177575 per Series "D"
share before any dividends are payable on the Series "A" , Series "B" or Series
"L" shares. For purposes of U.S. GAAP, the "two-class" method, which first
reduces net income by the amount of the dividend preference to the Series "D"
shares, has been applied to calculate earnings per share.

     Cash flow information
 
     Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-12 issued by the MIPA specifies the appropriate
presentation of the statements of changes in financial position. Under Bulletin
B-12, the sources and uses of resources are determined based upon the
differences between beginning and ending financial statement balances in Mexican
Pesos of constant purchasing power. In addition, the inflation-adjusted
statement of changes in financial position includes certain non-cash items such
as monetary gains and losses, unrealized foreign currency translation gains or
losses and net effect of foreign investment hedges. Under U.S. GAAP, Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows" ("SFAS 95"),
a statement of cash flows is required, which presents only cash movements and
excludes non-cash items.
 
     The Group considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with
original maturities of three months or less, consisting primarily of short-term
promissory notes (Mexican pesos and U.S. dollars in 2002, 2003 and 2004) of
Mexican financial institutions, to be cash equivalents.

     The following is a cash flow statement on a U.S. GAAP basis in constant

     Recently issued accounting standards
 
     In December 2004, and as amended in April 2005, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R,
"Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123R), which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial
statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously
permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement
recognition. SFAS 123R is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2005. Early application of SFAS 123R is encouraged, but not required.
 
     Public companies are required to adopt the new standard using a modified
prospective method and may elect to restate prior periods using the modified
retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, companies are
required to record compensation cost for new and modified awards over the
related vesting period of such awards prospectively and record compensation cost
prospectively for the unvested portion, at the date of adoption, of previously
issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards.
No change to prior periods presented is permitted under the modified prospective
method. Under the modified retrospective method, companies record compensation
costs for prior periods retroactively through restatement of such periods using
the exact pro forma amounts disclosed in the companies' footnotes. Also, in the
period of adoption and after, companies record compensation cost based

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
on the modified prospective method. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, "TOPIC 14:
Share-based payment" (SAB 107). SAB 107 addresses the interaction between SFAS
123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides views regarding the
valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. This
bulletin is effective immediately. We have not yet determined the method of
adoption to be used and have not completed our evaluation of the effects of
adopting SFAS 123R.
 
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets" (An
amendment to APB Opinion No. 29) (SFAS 153). This statement addresses the
measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets
in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions", and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have
commercial substance. This statement specifies that a monetary exchange has
commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of this
statement shall be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted. We are
currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.
 
     In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), "Accounting
for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations -- an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 143". FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the
fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be
reasonably estimated. FIN 47 states that a conditional asset retirement
obligation is a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in
which the timing or method of settlement are conditional upon a future event
that may or may not be within control of the entity. FIN 47 is effective no
later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We have not
quantified the impact of adopting FIN 47, but we do not expect the adoption to
have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
     Mexico, D.F., January 30, 2004, except for the restatement to December 31,
2004 constant pesos for which the date is March 11, 2005.
 
To the Equity Owners of
Innova, S. de R. L. de C. V.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innova, S.
de R. L. de C. V. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") as of December
31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of loss, of changes
in equity owners' deficit and of changes in financial position for the years
then ended, all expressed in Mexican pesos. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in Mexico and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Innova, S.
de R. L. de C. V. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the
results of their operations, the changes in the equity owners' deficit and the
changes in their financial position for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico.
 
     Accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico vary in certain
significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. The application of the latter would have affected the
determination of the consolidated net loss for the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2002, and the determination of consolidated equity owner's deficit at
December 31, 2003 and 2002 to the extent summarized in Note 20 to the
consolidated financial statements.

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF MEXICAN PESOS IN PURCHASING POWER AS OF DECEMBER 31,
                                     2004)
 
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND ITS PRINCIPAL OPERATIONS:
 
     Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Innova" or the "Company"), a Mexican company
with limited liability and variable capital, provides direct-to-home ("DTH")
broadcast satellite pay television services in Mexico under the SKY brand name.
Innova is a joint venture indirectly owned by Grupo Televisa, S. A. ("Televisa")
(60%), The News Corporation Limited ("News Corporation") (30%) and Liberty Media
International Holdings, LLC (formerly Liberty Media International, Inc.) ("LMI")
(10%). The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the
Group.
 
     The Group's business requires a concession (license granted by the Mexican
federal government) to operate. On May 24, 1996, the Ministry of Communications
and Transportation (the "SCT") ratified the concession granted to a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company to offer DTH satellite broadcasting services in Mexico
using domestic satellites. The concession is for a period of thirty years,
beginning May 24, 1996, and renewable in accordance with Mexican Communications
Law. On November 27, 2000, the SCT granted to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company a concession to provide its broadcasting services using foreign
satellites. The concession is for a 20-year period, effective November 27, 2000
and may be extended in accordance with Mexican Communications Law.
 
NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in Mexico ("Mexican GAAP") as
promulgated by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants ("MIPA"). A
reconciliation from Mexican GAAP to United States generally accepted accounting
principles ("U.S. GAAP") is included in Note 20.
 
     The principal accounting policies followed by the Group are as follows:
 
  A.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The financial statements of the Group are presented on a consolidated
basis. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year basis of presentation.
 
  B.  MEMBERS OF THE GROUP
 
     At December 31, 2003, the Group consists of the Company and the following
wholly-owned subsidiaries:
 
     - Corporacion de Radio y Television del Norte de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V.
 
     - Corporacion Novavision, S. de R. L. de C.V.
 
     - Corporacion Novaimagen, S. de R. L. de C.V.
 
     - Servicios Novasat, S. de R.L. de C.V.
 
     - Servicios Corporativos de Telefonia, S. de R. L. de C.V. ("SECOTEL")
                                       F-85

                  INNOVA, S. DE R.L. DE C.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
         NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     SECOTEL was formed in July 2001, when the Company purchased the Call Center
operation from an affiliate of Televisa (Note 8).
 
  C.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
     The Group considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with
original maturities of three months or less, consisting primarily of overnight
deposits, obligations of the Mexican Government, deposits and bonds in U.S.
financial institutions to be cash equivalents.
 
  D.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost and thereafter are
restated using the National Consumer Price Index ("NCPI"), except for equipment
of a non-Mexican origin, which are restated using an index which reflects the
inflation in the respective country of origin and the exchange rate of the
Mexican peso against the currency of such country at the balance sheet date
("Specific Index"). Maintenance costs for technical equipment are reserved based
on management estimates. Actual costs are applied against the applicable reserve
when incurred. Repair and maintenance costs for computer equipment and
integrated receiver/decoders ("IRDs") are expensed as incurred.
 
     Installation costs of antennas, low noise blocks ("LNBs") and accessories
in subscribers' homes or businesses are capitalized in the line item antennas,
LNBs and accessories, and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the
asset, which is three years.
 
     When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the appropriate accounts and any gain
or loss is included in results of operations.
 
     External costs incurred for internal use software are capitalized in
computer equipment and depreciated over three years.
 
  E.  SPARE PARTS
 
     Spare parts inventory are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable
value. The cost of spare parts utilized is charged to income when utilized.
 
  F.  DEPRECIATION
 
     Depreciation of property and equipment is based upon the restated carrying
value of the assets and is recognized using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 10 years. Land,
equipment in progress and advances to suppliers are not depreciated.
 
  G.  SENIORITY PREMIUMS AND INDEMNITIES
 
     Seniority premiums to which employees are entitled upon termination of
employment after 15 years of service, as well as the obligations under the
Company's noncontributory retirement plan for its employees, are recognized as
expenses in the years in which the services are rendered, based on actuarial
studies using the projected unit credit method.
 
     Other compensation based on length of service to which employees may be
entitled in the event of dismissal or death, in accordance with the Federal
Labor Law, is charged to income in the year in which it becomes payable.

         NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  H.  FOREIGN CURRENCY
 
     Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
reported at the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange
differences on monetary assets and liabilities are included in income for the
period and reflected in the integral result of financing. Revenues and expenses
denominated in foreign currencies are reported at the exchange rates in effect
when recognized.
 
  I.  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Program service revenues are recognized on a monthly basis as DTH service
is provided. Program service revenues paid in advance are deferred until earned.
 
     The Group provides the DTH antenna, LNB and remote control to customers
along with the IRD, but has retained title to the equipment. The IRD is included
in fixed assets and is rented to customers under an operating lease. Rental
revenues are recognized on a monthly basis.
 
     Advertising revenues are recognized at the time the advertising services
are rendered.
 
  J.  ADVERTISING COSTS
 
     Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred and amounted to Ps.211,637
and Ps.223,134 during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
  K.  CAPITALIZED FINANCING COSTS
 
     The Group capitalized the integral financing costs attributable to acquired
assets during installation and preoperating expenses. Capitalized integral
financing costs include interest costs, gains from monetary position and foreign
exchange gains or losses, and are determined by reference to the Group's average
interest cost for outstanding borrowings. No amounts were capitalized in 2003
and 2002.
 
  L.  RISK CONCENTRATIONS
 
     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Group to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
trade accounts receivable. The Group maintains its cash and cash equivalents
with various major financial institutions and are principally invested in
obligations of the U.S. and Mexican governments. Concentration of credit risk
with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of
customers throughout Mexico. The Group's policy is to require one month's
payment in advance, to reserve for all accounts receivable greater than ninety
days and to write off against the reserve all receivables greater than 120 days.
Bad debt expense was Ps.101,762 in 2003 and Ps.121,219 in 2002 (Note 4).
 
     In order to provide DTH service to customers, the Group relies on the use
of 12 KU-band transponders on the PAS 9 satellite. The use of these transponders
is unprotected and, as a result, any long-term disruption to one or more of the
transmission signals could have a material adverse effect on the Group.
 
  M.  COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
 
     Comprehensive loss represents the net loss for the period presented in the
income statement plus other results for the period reflected in equity owners'
deficit which are from non-owner sources (Note 18).

         NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  N.  EVALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
     The Group evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets to
determine whether current events or circumstances warrant adjustment to the
carrying value. Such evaluation may be based on current and projected income and
cash flows from operations as well as other economic and market variables.
 
  O.  INCOME TAX
 
     The recognition of deferred income tax is made by using the comprehensive
asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are
calculated by applying the respective income tax rate to the temporary
differences between the accounting and tax values of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements.
 
     The accrued effect required the recognition of a net deferred tax asset and
corresponding valuation allowance, because available evidence did not indicate
that there was a high probability of future taxable income to realize the
deferred tax asset. Subsequent changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
and valuation allowances are recognized in income.
 
  P.  NEW ACCOUNTING BULLETINS
 
     In January 2002, the MIPA issued Statement C-8 "Intangible Assets"
effective as of January 1, 2003. This statement establishes criteria for the
recognition of intangible assets, as well as their accounting treatment through
particular valuation, disclosure and presentation regulations. The adoption of
Statement C-8 did not have any impact on the Group's consolidated financial
statements.
 
     In January 2002, the MIPA issued Statement C-9 "Liabilities, Provisions,
Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Commitments" effective as from January 1,
2003. This statement establishes the particular valuation, disclosure and
presentation regulations of liabilities and provisions, as well as those for
commitments and contingent assets and liabilities. The adoption of this
Statement did not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.
 
     On January 1, 2004 the provisions of Statement C-15 "Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Their Disposal" issued by the MIPA became effective. This
Statement contains general standards covering the identification and recording
of losses due to impairment or reduction in value of long-lived assets, tangible
or intangible, including goodwill. In addition, it also prescribes guidelines
for valuation of long-lived assets. The Group does not expect the adoption of
this standard to have any effect on its financial statement.
 
     In 2003, the MIPA issued new Statement C-12, "Financial Instruments
Qualifying as Liabilities, Capital or Both" ("Statement C-12"), which highlights
the differences between liabilities and stockholders' equity from the viewpoint
of the issuer, as a basis for identifying, classifying and recording the
liability and capital components of combined financial instruments in their
initial recognition. Statement C-12 establishes the methodology for separating
liabilities and stockholders' equity from the price received from the placement
of combined financial instruments. That methodology is based on the residual
nature of stockholders' equity and avoids the use of fair values affecting
stockholders' equity in initial transactions. Additionally, it establishes that
beginning on January 1, 2004, the initial costs resulting from the issuance of
the combined instruments are assigned to liabilities and stockholders' equity in
the same proportion as the amounts of the components recognized as liabilities
and stockholders' equity; that the losses and incomes related to financial
instrument components classified as liabilities are recorded in overall
financing; and the yield distributions to owners of financial instrument
components classified as stockholders' equity are charged directly to a capital
account other than the income account for the year. Although this Statement C-12
became effective on January 1, 2004, it is not required when restating
information for prior periods or when recognizing an initial accrued effect on
the income for the year it is adopted, in accordance with the provisions
established in the transitory paragraph of the Statement C-12.

                  INNOVA, S. DE R.L. DE C.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
         NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
The Group does not expect that the adoption of this Statement will have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 3 -- EFFECTS OF INFLATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
 
     The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in
accordance with Statement B-10, "Recognition of the Effects of Inflation on
Financial Information", as amended, ("Statement B-10"), which provides guidance
for recognizing the effects of inflation. The financial statements of the Group
are presented in Mexican Pesos in purchasing power as of December 31, 2004 in
order to be comparable to financial information as of that date, as follows:
 
     - The balance sheets have been restated in Mexican Pesos in purchasing
       power as of December 31, 2004 using the NCPI as of December 31, 2004.
 
     - The statements of loss and changes in equity owners' deficit have been
       restated in Mexican Pesos in purchasing power as of December 31, 2004
       using the NCPI for the month in which the transactions occurred.
 
     The restatement of the financial statements has been applied in accordance
with Statement B-10 guidelines as described below:
 
  RESTATEMENT OF NON-MONETARY ASSETS
 
     Property and equipment, except for equipment of non-Mexican origin, are
restated using the NCPI. Equipment of non-Mexican origin, primarily satellite
transponders, are restated using a Specific Index. The Specific Index is derived
from inflation in the country of the assets' origin and the foreign currency
exchange rate of the Mexican Peso against the currency of such country.
 
     Property and equipment in use at the beginning of the year is depreciated
based upon the restated carrying value of the assets and is recognized using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Additions
during the year are depreciated based on the restated value.
 
  RESTATEMENT OF EQUITY OWNERS' DEFICIT
 
     Social parts and other equity owners' deficit accounts (other than the
excess/deficit from restatement) include the effect of restatement, determined
by applying the NCPI factor to the applicable period. The restatement represents
the amount required to maintain the contributions and the accumulated results in
Mexican Pesos in purchasing power as of December 31, 2004. The deficit/excess
from restatement includes the result from holding non-monetary assets and is the
cumulative difference between the cost of the non-monetary assets restated using
NCPI and the restatement of such assets using the Specific Index.
 
  INTEGRAL RESULTS OF FINANCING
 
     The gain or loss from monetary position represents the effects of
inflation, as measured by the NCPI, on the monetary assets and liabilities of
the Group at the beginning of each month. For the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2002, monetary liabilities exceeded monetary assets, resulting in gains from
monetary position during the periods.
 
  STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
 
     Statement B-12, "Statements of Changes in Financial Position" ("Statement
B-12"), issued by the MIPA, specifies the appropriate presentation of the
statement of changes in financial position when the financial statements have
been restated in constant monetary units in accordance with the Third Amendment
to Statement B-10. Statement B-12 identifies the generation and application of
resources as

         NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
the differences between beginning and ending financial statement balances in
constant monetary units. The Statement also requires that monetary and foreign

NOTE 6 -- SATELLITE TRANSPONDERS:
 
     On February 8, 1999, the Group and PanAmSat Corporation ("PanAmSat")
entered into a new agreement for satellite signal reception and retransmission
service from 12 KU-band transponders on a new satellite ("PAS-9"), which became
operational in September 2000. The service term for PAS-9 will end at the
earlier of (a) the end of 15 years or (b) the date PAS-9 is taken out of
service. The Group is committed to pay a monthly fee of U.S.$1.7 million. The
Group received a credit against the initial service fees of U.S.$11.7 million
paid under the new agreement.
 
     The concession authorizing the use of PAS-9 was granted by the Federal
Government through the SCT in November 2000. Under the terms of this concession,
the Group is bound to offer the service of paid television via DTH satellite for
a three-year term starting in November 2000, in the Municipalities or

     In addition, on or before September 19, 2006, the Group may, at its own
     option and subject to certain requirements, use the proceeds from one or
     more qualified equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate
     principal amount of the New Senior Notes at 109.375% of their principal
     amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
 
     The net proceeds from the offering of the New Senior Notes were used to
     redeem on October 20, 2003 U.S.$287.0 million in principal amount of the
     Group's 12 7/8% Old Senior Notes due 2007 (see below), and to pay a
     redemption premium of U.S.$9.2 million, and fees and expenses relating to
     the transaction of U.S.$3.8 million (Note 7-a).

     Notes due 2007 ("Old Senior Notes"). The Old Senior Notes bear interest at
     a rate of 12 7/8% and are redeemable at the option of the Group, in whole
     or in part, at any time on or after April 1, 2002, initially at 106.4375%
     of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, declining ratably to 100%
     of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, on or after April 1,
     2004. Interest on the Old Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on April 1
     and October 1 of each year and commenced on October 1, 1997. The Old Senior
     Notes are uncollateralized, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Group and
     contain certain covenants similar to the New Senior Notes.
 
     The U.S.$88 million in Old Senior Notes that were not exchanged will
continue to accrue interest at 12 7/8% per annum, and remain outstanding in
accordance with their original terms.
 
NOTE 11 -- EQUITY OWNERS' LOANS:
 
     Effective September 9, 2003, the Group's equity owners capitalized all
outstanding principal amounts of the loans made by them to the Group totaling
Ps.3,617,469 as well as the portion of accrued interest as of such date which
amounted to Ps.945,683. After giving effect to the capitalization, the Group's
equity owners Televisa, News Corporation and Liberty Media, continue to

NOTE 12 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
     The Group's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade
accounts receivables, trade accounts payable, due to affiliated companies and
other related parties, and debt. For cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts
receivables, trade accounts payable, and due to affiliated companies and other
related parties, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short
maturity of these instruments.
 
     The fair value of the Senior Notes is based on quoted market prices. The
estimated fair value of these instruments at December 31, 2003 and 2002 is as
follows (amounts in thousands):

     The Senior Notes are thinly traded financial instruments. Accordingly,
their market price at any balance sheet date may not be representative of the
price which would be obtained in a more active market.
 
     In 2002 management was unable to estimate the fair value of the equity
owners' loans due to their nature.

royalties, licenses and maintenance of the foregoing systems. In 2003 and 2002,
the Group incurred expenses of U.S.$7.2 million and U.S.$5.9 million,
respectively.

Mexico City station. The annual commitments are estimated to be approximately
U.S.$4.0 million per year. The Group incurred expenses of U.S.$4.1 million in
2003 and U.S.$3.9 million in 2002.
 
     The Group entered into several contracts with programming providers,
establishing that the amounts payable to the programmers will be based on the
number of subscribers. These charges totaled Ps.767,480 and Ps.718,899 for the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
     b. The Group entered into two related agreements with CSG Software, Inc.

license for the use of the software "Kenan" to provide billing and order
management to licensed subscribers, besides installation and implementation of
the system, training and support services and, b) consulting services.
 
     Under the Software License and Service Agreement, the Group paid U.S.$2.9
million to CSG for a license capacity of up to 1,125,000 subscribers. However,
the Group can purchase additional capacity according to the subscriber base
growth at an additional cost per every 100,000 subscribers. Technical support in
Mexico will be available for the first 24 months following the date on which
live production of the system begins, the annual cost for this service will be
U.S.$585,600. It is possible in accordance with the agreement to use the Kenan
system for other DTH platform in case of merger, acquisition or combination of
platforms. The new SMS was placed in service on November 2003.

U.S.$0.6 million remaining will be payable upon completion of certain agreed
milestones.
 
     c. On January 2002, the Group executed an agreement with TV Azteca to begin
paying them for the rights to rebroadcast their over-the-air Channels 7 and 13.
It has also committed to purchase up to U.S.$10.6 million in advertising from TV
Azteca over three years and received rights to broadcast certain soccer matches
and an option for exclusive broadcast rights after 2004. Prior to May 1, 2002,
the Group was permitted to rebroadcast these over-the-air channels at no cost.
The remaining commitment under this agreement amounted to U.S.$4.2 million on
December 31, 2003.
 
     d. Since January 1, 2002, a 10% federal excise tax was imposed on the
collected revenues from the Group's pay television services. In February 2002,
the Group filed a petition for constitutional relief against the Legislative
Decree, which contains the amendments to the law regarding the excise tax. On
August 15, 2003, the Group received a favorable resolution for the excise tax
paid in 2002; such resolution generated a tax return which is in process. The
resolution for the excise tax paid in 2003 is still pending (Note 15-c).

recognized a nonrecurring loss in the amount of Ps.152,687 (net), which is
mainly composed of the Premium on redemption payment, and the unamortized cost
of debt issuance corresponding to the Old Senior Notes that were exchanged for
the New Senior Notes (Note 7).
 
     c. On October 30, 2003, the Federal Executive approved a temporary tax
incentive equal to 100% of the 10% excise tax on telecommunications, effective
November 1, 2003 and applicable only to the tax triggered from this date up to
December 31, 2003. Therefore, during the months of November and December 2003,
the Group recorded, the derived effects of the tax incentive above mentioned
amounting to Ps.42,053, as a non-recurring charge.
 
     d. During 2000, the Group recognized a nonrecurring charge of Ps.471,324
relating to the redundant use of the transponders on the Solidaridad 2 satellite
once the PAS-9 satellite became operational, and for the increased costs to
re-orientate customers' antennas to PAS-9 in a short period of time. The process
of migrating customers from Solidaridad 2 to PAS-9 started in November 2000 and
finally ended in March 2002. As explained in Note 5, the Group recorded an
impairment charge of Ps.33,661 in April 2002 that related to certain
transmission equipment associated with Solidaridad 2. This impairment loss,
together with the payments for the use of Solidaridad 2 in the first quarter of
2002 amounting to Ps.15,512, was offset by the reversal of unutilized amounts
raised in 2000 amounting to Ps.20,809, and reflected as a nonrecurring charge of
Ps.28,364 in 2002.
 
NOTE 16 -- ACCUMULATED LOSSES:
 
     Under Mexican Corporate Law, interested third parties can request the
dissolution of the Group if accumulated losses exceed two-thirds of social
parts. At December 31, 2003, the Group's accumulated losses exceeded its social
parts. Although the Group believes it is unlikely such action will occur, the
Group, obtained from Televisa and News Corporation, a commitment to provide
financial support to the Group for a period of one year from the balance sheet
date, in proportion to their respective ownership interests, if required, to
avoid such action.
 
     The recoverability of the Group's investment in DTH infrastructure and
product development is dependent upon future events, including, but not limited
to, the stability of the Mexican economic

the continued operation of satellites owned by third parties, the competitive
and market environment for pay television services in Mexico, and the
achievement of a level of operating revenues that is sufficient to support the
Group's cost structure.
 
NOTE 17 -- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX ("IT"), ASSETS TAX ("AT") AND EMPLOYEES'
          STATUTORY PROFIT SHARING:
 
     Tax losses can be carried forward for up to ten years and offset against
any profits that the Group or Televisa may generate during that period in
accordance with the Income Tax Law.
 
     At December 31, 2003, the Group had total tax loss carryforwards of
Ps.8,611,489, which will under certain circumstances, be carried forward over
ten years from the period that the respective tax loss was generated in:

     Employees' statutory profit sharing in Mexico is determined for each
subsidiary individually, not on a consolidated basis. There is no employees'
statutory profit sharing deferred tax as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.
 
     Pursuant to the tax legislation in force, the Company must pay annually the
greater of the IT or the AT, which is determined on the average value of assets
less certain liabilities. When the AT payments are greater than IT, they are
recoverable against the IT in excess of the AT from the three prior years and
the ten subsequent years. In 2003 and 2002 the asset tax rate was 1.8%. Under
Mexican law, taxpayers cannot deduct from their asset tax basis debt contracted
with nonresident companies or financial intermediaries. The Group challenged
these provisions of Mexico's asset tax law but at the same time, and in order to
avoid penalties and interest payments in the event the Group could lose the
appeal, the Group paid Ps.47,535 of tax on assets for the year ended December
31, 2002, and Ps.7,922 for the months of January and February 2003. On March 19,
2003, the court issued a resolution in the Group's favor, allowing the Group to
deduct debts payable to nonresidents from the asset tax basis. In addition,
subsequent to March 19, 2003, the Group has recovered the amounts previously
paid as described above.
 
     The Group is also included in the consolidated tax return of Televisa and
its consolidated subsidiaries for purposes of determining its income taxes and
assets tax. Beginning January 1, 1999, 60% of the tax profit or loss obtained by
the Group will be consolidated with the tax profit or loss of Televisa to the
extent of Televisa's percentage ownership of the Group. Through December 31,
1998, Televisa recognized the total taxable loss of the Group to the extent of
its percentage ownership.
 
     The Group entered into a tax sharing agreement with Televisa under which
the Group will, during the periods that the Group is a part of Televisa's
consolidated tax group, pay Televisa the amount of income and asset taxes that
Televisa is required to pay on behalf of the Group. No such amount will be
payable until the Group's profit exceeds its tax loss carryforwards. Conversely,
Televisa shall pay to the Group the portion of any tax refund allocable to the
Group.

     Paragraphs b) and c) are disclosed in accordance with the Fourth Amendment
to Bulletin B-10 issued by the MIPA, which also provides that liabilities
denominated in a foreign currency are translated using exchange rates in effect
at the balance sheet date.
 
     As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the exchange rate between the Mexican
Peso and the U.S. Dollar was Ps.11.225 and Ps.10.464 per U.S. dollar,
respectively, which represents the interbank free market exchange rate as of
those dates as published by Banco de Mexico, S.A. As of January 30, 2004, the
exchange rate was Ps.11.0843 per U.S. dollar, which represents the interbank
free market exchange rate as of that date as published by Banco de Mexico, S.A.
 
NOTE 20 -- DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEXICAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP:
 
     The Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
with Mexican GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.
 
     The reconciliation to U.S. GAAP includes a reconciling item for the effect
of applying the option provided by the Modified Fifth Amendment to Bulletin B-10
for the restatement of equipment of non-Mexican origin because, as described
below, this provision of inflation accounting under Mexican GAAP does not meet
the consistent currency requirement of Regulation S-X of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC").
 
     The reconciliation to U.S. GAAP does not include the reversal of the other
adjustments to the financial statements for the effects of inflation required
under Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-10, because the application of Bulletin B-10
represents a comprehensive measure of the effects of price level changes in the
inflationary Mexican economy and, as such, is considered a more meaningful
presentation than historical, cost-based financial reporting for both Mexican
and U.S. accounting purposes.
 
     The principal differences between Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP that affect
net loss and total equity owners' deficit are described below:
 
  SATELLITE REORIENTATION COSTS
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, the Group recognized a non-recurring loss during the
year ended December 31, 2000 for the increased costs to reorientate customers'
antennas to PAS-9 from Solidaridad 2 Satellite in a short period of time. Under
U.S. GAAP, the satellite reorientation costs are expensed as incurred as a part
of operating expenses.
 
  MAINTENANCE RESERVE
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, it is acceptable to accrue for certain expenses which
management believes will be incurred in subsequent periods. Under U.S. GAAP,
these costs are expensed as incurred.
 
  RESTATEMENT OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Effective January 1, 1997, the Group adopted the Fifth Amendment to
Bulletin B-10 which eliminated the use of replacement costs for the restatement
of property and equipment and instead, included an option of using the Specific
Index for the restatement of equipment of non-Mexican origin. The Group has
elected to apply the Specific Index option for determining the restated balances
of equipment of non-Mexican origin under Mexican GAAP. For U.S. GAAP purposes,
the use of an index that contemplates currency exchange movements is not in
accordance with the historical cost concept nor does it present financial
information in a constant currency. Hence for U.S. GAAP purposes, property and
equipment are restated by the NCPI and the difference in depreciation expense
and carrying value are recognized in the net income and equity owners' equity
adjustments, respectively.

         NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     The Group provides the antenna, LNB and accessories to new subscribers,
together with the IRD, for a set monthly rental fee, retaining title and
ownership of all the equipment. The Group also uses intermediate parties to
perform certain customer acquisition and installation services on its behalf.
Under Mexican GAAP, the Group records as revenue amounts received from these
intermediate parties. Under U.S. GAAP, the Group follows the guidance of
Emerging Issues Task Force Summary No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a
Principal versus Net as an Agent", pursuant to which it has determined that it
serves as principal in these transactions and that it should record as revenue
amounts billed to the subscriber, as ultimate customer. The accompanying
condensed consolidated statement of loss under U.S. GAAP for the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002 therefore include an adjustment to reflect as revenue
the amounts billed to subscribers and not the amounts received from intermediate
parties.
 
     In addition, under Mexican GAAP, initial non-refundable subscription fees
are recognized upon activation of the new subscriber's DTH services. Under U.S.
GAAP, initial non-refundable subscription fees are recognized over the period
that a new subscriber is expected to remain a customer (estimated to be 3
years). Customer acquisition costs directly attributable to the income are
recognized over the same period under U.S. GAAP. Those customer acquisition
costs in excess of the initial non-refundable subscription fee revenues, are
expensed as incurred.
 
     Initial non-refundable subscription fees for the year ended December 31,
2003 and 2002 amounted to Ps.127,762 and Ps.158,500, respectively. Under U.S.
GAAP, deferred initial non-refundable subscription fee revenues of approximately
Ps.209,463 and Ps.213,334 were recorded as of December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. In addition, customer acquisition costs which are expensed
immediately under Mexican GAAP, have been deferred to match and equal initial
non-refundable subscription revenues; therefore at December 31, 2003 and 2002,
deferred costs under U.S. GAAP also amounted to Ps.209,463 and Ps.213,334,
respectively. Initial non-refundable subscription revenues (which are matched by
customer acquisition costs) that have been recognized during the year amount to
Ps.136,383 (Ps.85,842 in 2002).
 
     These U.S. GAAP adjustments did not have any impact on operating or net
loss in 2003 and 2002.
 
  PRESENTATION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- RESTRUCTURING AND NON-RECURRING
  ITEMS
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, the Group recognizes various cost as "Restructuring and
non-recurring items", which would be considered operating expenses under U.S.
GAAP. Such cost primarily include severance costs in connection with employee
termination, the derived effects of the 10% excise tax on telecommunications,
costs related to the redundant use of the Solidaridad 2 satellite and the
increased costs to reorientate customer's antennas to PAS 9 in a short period of
time (Note 15).
 
     In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2003 the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections" became effective for the Group. As a result, the Group is not
allowed to classify the loss on the restructuring of the Senior Notes as an
extraordinary item, since the restructuring of the Senior Notes did not meet the
criteria of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. Accordingly, the loss on
restructuring of Senior Notes, which is comprised of the redemption premium on
the Old Senior Notes (Note 10) and the unamortized cost of debt issuance costs
corresponding to the Old Senior Notes that were exchanged for the New Senior
Notes (Note 7), are classified as part of income from continuing operations
under U.S. GAAP.

         NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
 
     Under Mexican GAAP, the Group follows the guidelines of amended Bulletin
D-4 in accounting for income taxes. Bulletin D-4 is similar to U.S. GAAP,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109") "Accounting for
Income Taxes", in many respects.
 
     SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial
statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred
tax assets including benefits from tax loss carryforwards are recognized to the
extent their realization is more likely than not.
 
     The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
deferred tax assets and liabilities, applying SFAS 109 at December 31, 2003 and
2002, are as follows:
 


                                                              2003            2002

  CASH FLOWS
 
     Mexican GAAP Bulletin B-12, specifies the appropriate presentation of the
statements of changes in financial position. Under Bulletin B-12, the sources
and uses of resources are determined based upon differences between beginning
and ending financial statement balances in constant pesos. Under U.S. GAAP, a
statement of cash flows is required, which presents only cash movements and
excludes non-cash items.

         NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
FIN 46 requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity to
consolidate that entity. A Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") is created when (i)
the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity from
financing its activities without additional subordinated financial support from
other parties or (ii) equity holders either (a) lack direct or indirect ability
to make decisions about the entity, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected
losses of the entity or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual
returns of the entity if they occur. The primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest
entity's expected losses, receives a majority of the entity's expected residual
returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial
interests in the entity. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of FIN 46
("FIN 46-R"), clarifying certain provisions of FIN 46. The Company was required
to adopt the provisions of FIN 46-R on February 1, 2003 as they related to VIEs
created on or after that date. For VIEs created before January 31, 2003, FIN
46-R was deferred to 2004. The partial adoption of FIN 46-R on February 1, 2003
did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operation and
financial position. In addition, the Group does not expect that the full
adoption of FIN 46-R will have a significant impact on the Company's results of
operation and financial condition.
 
     In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of SFAS No. 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 149"). This statement
amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging
activities under SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities". SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or
modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designed after June
30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
 
     In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity"
("SFAS 150"). This statement affects how an entity measures and reports
financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity,
and is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May
31, 2003 and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
 
1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
 
     Sky Multi-Country Partners (the "Partnership") is a Delaware general
partnership formed on October 24, 1997 between SESLA, Inc., a subsidiary of The
News Corporation Limited ("News"), DTH USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Globo
Comunicacoes e Participacoes, Ltda. ("Globo"), Televisa MCOP Holdings, Inc., a
subsidiary of Grupo Televisa, S.A. ("Televisa"), and Liberty Multi-Country DTH,
Inc., a subsidiary of Liberty Media, Inc. ("Liberty Media"). The Partnership was
established to invest, develop, distribute and manage direct-to-home ("DTH")
satellite transmission platforms providing satellite-fed television, audio and
related entertainment programming services to subscribers in Latin America under
the Sky brand. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership was providing DTH
services to approximately 53,000 and 34,000 subscribers in Chile and Colombia,
respectively.
 
     Prior to October 8, 2004, News, Globo and Televisa each owned a 30%
interest of the Partnership with Liberty owning the remaining 10% interest. In
accordance with the Partnership agreement, Partnership capital, profits and
losses were to be shared in proportion to the partners' respective ownership
percentages. All capital contributions made prior to October 8, 2004 were made
in proportion to the Partners' ownership interest, except for Liberty, which was
only required to make capital contributions in the aggregate of $27 million,
plus 10% of the amount the Partnership was obligated to pay third parties for
satellite capacity.
 
     Pursuant to a series of purchase and sale agreements among News, Globo,
Televisa, and Liberty that were signed on October 8, 2004 (the "Sky
Transactions"), the DIRECTV Group ("DIRECTV") indirectly acquired News' 30%
interest in the Partnership through its acquisition of SESLA, Inc. In addition,
DIRECTV directly acquired Liberty's 10% interest in the Partnership from Liberty
Multi-Country DTH, Inc. DIRECTV also agreed to acquire all of Globo's and
Televisa's interests in the Partnership at a later date, subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the successful
resolution by Globo and Televisa of an audit currently pending before the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service related to the Partnership.
 
     On October 11, 2004, DIRECTV announced a reorganization of its Latin
America platforms, which is designed to consolidate its Latin American DTH
platforms and its newly acquired Sky DTH platforms into a single platform in
each of the major territories served. As part of this reorganization, the
Partnership's subscribers in Chile are expected to migrate to DIRECTV's platform
in 2005. In Colombia, the Partnership's subscribers are also expected to migrate
to DIRECTV's platform in 2005, subject to obtaining required regulatory
approvals.
 
2.  LIQUIDITY
 
     Since inception, the Partnership has incurred significant operating losses
and generated negative cash flows from operating activities and as a result had
a working capital deficit of approximately $180.7 million and a partners'
deficit of approximately $381.7 million as of December 31, 2004. In addition,
the Partnership's Colombian and Chilean DTH platforms continue to generate
operating losses, and will require additional funding to support operations and
working capital requirements. Accordingly, as the Partnership's only source of
income is the operations of the Colombian and Chilean DTH platforms, additional
funding will be required in order to support continued operations.
 
     In Colombia and Chile, the local subsidiaries' operations have at times
been unable to support their operating costs and therefore have required funding
to cover such deficiencies. Financial support to these local subsidiaries has
been provided by the Partnership in various forms, including equity
contributions, capitalization of intercompany balances and intercompany loans.
In Colombia, the local subsidiary has at times been under technical dissolution
as defined by Colombian law because its net stockholder's equity
 
                                      F-116

                           SKY MULTI-COUNTRY PARTNERS
 
      NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
 
has been less than 50% of its paid in capital. To avoid technical dissolution
and possible actions from the Colombian regulatory agencies, the Partnership has
increased the capital of its Colombian subsidiary by converting portions of its
outstanding debt into capital. (Also see Notes 7 and 10.)
 
     As discussed in Note 4, the Partnership receives satellite uplink/downlink
and other related services from DTH TechCo Partners ("TechCo"), an affiliate of
the Partnership, that prior to October 8, 2004, was 30% owned by each of News,
Globo and Televisa and 10% owned by Liberty. Following the Sky Transactions
described in Note 1, TechCo is owned 70% by DIRECTV and 30% by Televisa. TechCo
depends on timely payment of invoices from the Partnership and affiliated
platforms operating in Brazil and Mexico to fund its operations. The Partnership
annually represents approximately 52% of such invoices. Because of the
Partnership's lack of liquidity, approximately $67.60 million due to TechCo as
of December 31, 2004 was delinquent and unpaid. The shortfalls in TechCo's
funding created by the Partnership's inability to remit payments on a timely
basis has been funded by TechCo's partners, however, should TechCo be unable to
provide services to the Partnership in the future, the Partnership would be
unable to provide programming services to its customers.
 
     During 2002, the Partnership's Argentinean DTH platform ceased operations
and was placed in liquidation following the deterioration of Argentina's economy
and the significant devaluation of the peso in December 2001. The Partnership
launched this platform in late 2000, with the expectation that future positive
cash flows from operations would contribute to funding the Partnership's
obligations. However, given the significant impact of the Argentine economic
crisis in 2002, the Partnership determined that the long-term viability of this
platform could not be assured.
 
     The above matters raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability
to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4, prior to October 8,
2004, News, Televisa, and Liberty Media had directly or indirectly provided the
necessary funding to maintain the Partnership's operations in Colombia and Chile
as well as providing the necessary financial support of the operations of
TechCo. In addition, as stated in Note 1 and Note 12, the Partnership is
currently in the process of being reorganized, which could also have a
significant effect on the Partnership's long-term viability. Therefore, there
can be no assurance that the reorganization will prove to be successful, that
the level of cash flow generated from the business will be adequate to fund
operations or that the Partnership will provide financial support adequate to
cover cash flow deficiencies, or that TechCo will continue to provide
uplink/downlink services to the Partnership. The accompanying financial
statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties.

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  CONSOLIDATION
 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Partnership and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions. The following companies represent the
significant subsidiaries of the Partnership:

     The interest of the majority owned subsidiaries' shareholders, other than
the Partnership's, in the net losses and net assets of the majority owned
subsidiaries is set forth as minority interest in the consolidated statements of
operations and consolidated balance sheets, respectively. In certain
circumstances, losses allocated to minority interest are in excess of the
applicable minority interest balance. Such excess losses are absorbed by the
Partnership.
 
     As a result of liquidation of the Partnership's programming operations in
Argentina (see Note 1), the Partnership's Argentine operations are reflected on
a liquidation basis of accounting.
 
  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Revenues are generated from sales of DTH broadcast subscriptions, equipment
rentals, and installation services. Installation revenue represents up-front
fees paid by the customer for equipment installation, certain promotional
programming packages and, in certain instances, the sale of antennas.
Installation revenue is deferred and recognized as revenue over the estimated
life of the customer. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, deferred installation
revenue amounted to $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
 
     Subscription revenues and rental revenues are recognized in the period that
services are delivered. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, deferred subscription
and rental revenue amounted to $1.9 million and
 
                                      F-118

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
 
$1.6 million, respectively, resulting from the timing of invoicing for these
services prior to their delivery date.
 
     Marketing and installation costs directly related to installation revenue,
which include sales commissions, the cost of installing the equipment and in
certain instances, the cost of the antennas, are deferred to the extent of
installation revenue and recognized as expense over the estimated life of the
customer. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, deferred marketing and installation
costs amounted to $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
 
     The Partnership classifies deferred revenue and marketing and installation
costs expected to be recognized as revenue and direct costs, respectively,
within one year as current.
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY
 
     All of the Partnership's foreign operations, except for Sky Sistemas
Argentina S.R.L., have determined the local currency to be their functional
currency. Accordingly, these subsidiaries translate assets and liabilities from
their local currencies to U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates, while
income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during
the year. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as part of other
comprehensive loss, a component of partners' deficit. Sky Sistemas Argentina
S.R.L has determined the U.S. dollar as its functional currency.
 
     All of the amounts recorded as other comprehensive loss in the statement of
partners' deficit represent cumulative translation losses as follows:

     Balance at December 31, 2004...........................  $(7,427)
                                                              =======

 
     Gains and losses resulting from remeasurement into the functional currency
of transactions denominated in non-functional currencies are recognized in
earnings. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses approximated $0.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 ($0.1 million in 2003).
 
  LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
     The Partnership accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets to be held
and used by evaluating the carrying value of its long-lived assets in relation
to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the
underlying businesses when indications of impairment are present.
 
     Long-lived assets to be disposed of are evaluated in relation to the
estimated fair value of such assets less costs to sell.

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
 
  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
(including amortization of assets under capital leases) are computed using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
 


                                                               YEARS
                                                               -----
                                                            
     Satellite..............................................     --
     Communication, transmission and reception equipment....   5-10
     Furniture, fixtures and all other equipment............   3-10

 
     The cost of antennas expected to be leased to subscribers is included in
property and equipment in the accompanying balance sheet. Prior to the write
down in 2001 of capitalized satellite cost (see Note 5), the Partnership
amortized such asset over a 15-year period.
 
  VALUE ADDED TAX CREDITS
 
     The Partnership's subsidiaries have earned certain value added tax credits.
The value added tax credits arise from goods and services acquired by the
Partnership's subsidiaries and are generally recovered by allocating these
credits against value added tax payable on services provided by the
Partnership's subsidiaries. The Partnership has classified value added tax
credits expected to be recovered within one year as current.
 
  ADVERTISING COSTS
 
     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1.7 million for
each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
 
  INCOME TAXES
 
     The Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal, state or local income
taxes. Income taxes are the responsibility of the individual partners. The
Partnership's subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in their respective
countries.
 
     The Partnership accounts for its subsidiaries' income taxes using the
liability method. The liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and
liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when management believes that
it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company's net deferred
tax asset will not be recovered.
 
  USE OF ESTIMATES
 
     The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
 
     Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Partnership to
concentration of credit risk, consist mainly of trade receivables from
subscribers. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is
limited due to the large number of customers and to the Partnership's ability to
stop providing the

service to customers with past due accounts in a short period of time. However,
the Partnership's operations are concentrated in various Latin American
countries and the ability of customers to pay depends, in part, upon the general
economic condition of these countries.
 
  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
     The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
4.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     Sky Multi-Country Partners is a member of a group of affiliated companies
and, as disclosed below, has extensive transactions and relationships with
members of the group. Because of these relationships, it is possible that the
terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from
transactions among wholly unrelated parties.
 
     Amounts due to affiliated and related parties at December 31, 2004 and 2003
are as follows (in thousands):

     In 1998, the Partnership entered into a 10-year contract with TechCo to
provide satellite uplink/downlink and other related services. The contract
specifies that TechCo charge the Partnership all costs incurred for the
provision of services plus 5.76%. For the years ending December 31, 2004 and
2003, the Partnership incurred costs of approximately $21.6 million, and $20.9
million related to these services, respectively.
 
     In 1999, the Partnership recorded a note payable to TechCo for
approximately $3.0 million for certain uplink equipment paid by TechCo on behalf
of the Partnership.
 
     During 2000, the Partnership entered into a note payable agreement with
TechCo, which provides for cash borrowings by the Partnership from TechCo with
an annual interest rate of 5%. The note is payable in monthly installments until
the full amount borrowed is fully paid. The Partnership has been making

compliance with the terms of the note payable agreement. Accordingly, the note
is classified as a current liability and is included in the amount due to
related parties in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 2004 and
2003. Interest costs incurred on the note during both 2004 and 2003 was
approximately $0.8 million.
 
     Sky Latin America Partners (previously known as Sky Latin America, LLC),
affiliated with the Partnership through common ownership, provided
administrative and programming services totaling approximately $4.7 million and
$5.9 million during the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Sky Latin America Partners provides all of the Partnership's U.S. based
personnel and administrative and certain programming related services. Sky Latin
America Partners also made interest bearing cash advances to the Partnership
during 2002 and 2001, which at December 31, 2004 and 2003 approximated $3.1
million and $2.9 million, respectively. The cash advances do not have any
repayment terms and bear interest at 5%. Interest costs incurred on the cash
advances during 2004 and 2003 approximated $0.1 million and $0.2 million,
respectively.
 
     Corporacion Novavision S.R.L., a related party indirectly owned by
Televisa, News and Liberty Media, provided satellite up-link services totaling
approximately $0.5 and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively.
 
5.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Property and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

     Accumulated amortization for assets under capital leases approximates $0
million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense related to the Partnership's property and
equipment for the years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003 amounted to $4.9
million, and $8.3 million, respectively.
 
     In December 2001, the Partnership recorded an asset impairment of $208.1
million relating to its capitalized transponder obligations, reducing its
carrying value to $0. The impairment considered historical losses and on-going
cash flow deficits of the Partnership, the effects of prolonged economic
difficulties and uncertainties in the Latin American region on estimated future
cash flow projections, as well as the effects of the Partnership's decision to
liquidate its operations in Argentina.
 
6.  LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
 
     In March 1999, sixteen satellite transponders were placed in service
subject to a capital lease agreement executed by the Partnership in March 1998.
The capital lease has an implicit rate of 9% and has a term for the useful life
of the satellite transponders, estimated at 15 years at date of lease inception.
The balance of the capital lease as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 included in
the accompanying balance sheet is approximately $224.2 million and $239.2
million, respectively.

                           SKY MULTI-COUNTRY PARTNERS
 
      NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
 
     The capital lease contains escalation clauses for the minimum lease
payments for the first four years of the lease as well as payments contingent on
the Partnership reaching certain monthly and annual revenue thresholds per
transponder as described in the Transponder Service Agreement with the satellite
provider ("the Agreement"). The Partners guarantee the capital lease payments
based on their attributable ownership.
 
     Included in the Agreement are certain termination indemnity clauses which
require the Partnership to compensate the satellite provider should certain
termination events occur, including, among other things, failure to make
payments and failure to cease any satellite activity as specified in the
Agreement.
 
     The Partnership was not in compliance with the terms of the Agreement from
November 1, 2002 through October 8, 2004, because it did not make full payments
on the satellite transponder obligation. In order to cure the default, on
December 2002 the Partnership along with News, Televisa, Globo and Liberty
entered into a Forbearance Agreement with the satellite provider which extended
the forbearance period through January 31, 2004. However, pursuant to the Sky
Transactions (see Note 1) and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain
conditions. PanAmSat entered into a Termination and Release of Guaranty
Agreement, which among other things, terminates Televisa's, Globo's and
Liberty's PanAmSat guaranty. Also, in connection with the Sky Transactions,
DIRECTV made current all past due payments. Accordingly, the Partnership is no
longer in default of the Agreement as of December 31, 2004. While the
Partnership was in default of the Agreement, it classified the total obligation
under the Agreement as a current liability and accrued for possible default
penalties. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements reflect accrual of
approximately $1.5 million for possible default penalties as of December 31,
2003.
 
     In June 2003, PanAmSat publicly announced an anomaly on the satellite that
significantly reduced the available on-board fuel estimates of the satellite. As
a result of this development, PanAmSat estimated that the satellite would have
fuel sufficient to maintain appropriate positioning until early 2008, as opposed
to the original date of 2013. This anomaly does not affect the current
performance of the satellite or of the Partnership's leased transponders, and is
not expected to cause any other performance issues during its revised useful
life. Although the Partnership will have no further obligation to PanAmSat when
the satellite is taken out of service in 2008, it remains obligated under the
terms of the original lease agreement until service is terminated. Upon
termination of service, if prior to the original anticipated date of 2013, the
Partnership would reduce the satellite transponder obligation by any remaining
unpaid balance and record a gain for amounts it would no longer be obligated to
pay. Should the satellite transponder agreement be terminated in 2008, the
Partnership estimates that it would record a gain of approximately $170.0
million; however, there can be no assurance that the lease transponder agreement
would be terminated in 2008.
 
     The Partnership entered into other capital leases for various other
equipment with balances at December 31, 2004 and 2003 of approximately $0.7
million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Partnership also entered into loan
agreements with various banks for loans with balances at December 31, 2004 and
2003 of approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The capital
leases and banks loans have various maturity terms from 2005 to 2006 with

     In December 2003, the Partnership's Colombian subsidiary refinanced $1.4
million of its debt and capital lease obligations. Under the new agreement the
payment terms were extended through 2006 and the interest rates were increased
by 0.5% in 2005 and 2006. As discussed in Note 10, the Partnership paid off the
outstanding amounts of these obligations and debt for approximately $1.4 million
in May 2005.
 
7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     As discussed in Note 2, the Partnership has increased its ownership
interest in the Colombian subsidiary over time by converting a portion of its
outstanding debt to capital or through capital contributions in excess of its
proportionate ownership interest. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership owns
90.4% of its Colombian subsidiary. The Partnership has not recorded goodwill
from these transactions as the Partnership is funding substantially all the
losses and capital requirements of its Colombian subsidiary. As discussed in
Note 10, the Partnership acquired the remaining ownership of its Colombian
subsidiary in May 2005 for a nominal amount.
 
     The Partnership is committed under non-cancelable operating lease
agreements for the rental of its existing office facilities in Chile and
Colombia. Total rent expense amounted to $1.2 million in both 2004 and 2003. The
total aggregate commitment under these agreements is $0.3 million in 2005.
 
  LITIGATION
 
     The Partnership is a defendant in a regulatory lawsuit in Colombia. The
National Television Commission of Colombia (CNTV) is seeking fees in the amount
of $2.1 million. Management and its legal counsel are of the opinion that the
Partnership will prevail in defending the lawsuit; however, a Colombian tribunal
ordered the Company to obtain a $2.1 million bond to avoid any attachment of the
Company's assets. The Company is committed to make payments of $0.4 million and
$0.2 million in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

  TAX MATTERS
 
     The Colombian tax authorities have informed the Partnership of several
possible tax contingencies, which aggregate $0.5 million. Management and its
legal counsel, are vigorously defending these matters, and believe that the
final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position and results of operations of the Partnership.
 
  OTHER
 
     The Partnership is involved in various other claims and legal actions
arising from ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

9.  RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
 
     The Partnership has operations in Colombia and Chile. The Partnership's
operations in these countries are subject to political, monetary, economic and
regulatory risk, which can have a significant impact on the Partnership's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
     All revenues are generated in the Partnerships foreign operations.
Long-lived assets, net of accumulated depreciation, located in the foreign
operations approximate $5.8 million and $11.3 million as of December 31, 2004
and 2003, respectively. Long-lived assets net of accumulated depreciation,
considered to be located in the United States primarily represent the satellite
transponders under capital lease with a carrying amount of $0 as of December 31,
2004 and 2003, since this asset is considered impaired (see Note 5).
 
10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     In January 2005, the Partnership's Colombian subsidiary substantially
ceased selling and marketing its services and took certain related actions aimed
at minimizing cash flow expenditures pending confirmation of regulatory approval
of the combination of the Partnerships DTH platform with DIRECTV's Colombian DTH
platform.
 
     In February 2005, the Partnership's Chilean subsidiary acquired the
broadcast rights of the DIRECTV service in Chile and certain related assets from
VTR GlobalCom S.A., VTR Banda Ancha S.A. and VTR Galaxy Chile S.A. (collectively
"VTR") for approximately $1.9 million. VTR was acting as DIRECTV's local
representative under a local operating agreement that provided VTR the exclusive
right to sell the DIRECTV service to subscribers in Chile. Funding for this
acquisition was provided by DIRECTV in the form of a note payable, bearing
interest at LIBOR plus 6%, with a limit of 12%. The note is convertible up to a
maximum of 7% of the equity of the Partnership's Chilean subsidiary at the
discretion of DIRECTV.

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
 
     In March 2005, DIRECTV contributed approximately $5.4 million to the
Partnership, which was used to pay TechCo for services rendered after October 8,
2004. Amounts payable by the Partnership to TechCo for services rendered prior
to October 8, 2004 remain outstanding and past due.
 
     In May 2005, the Partnership acquired the remaining ownership interest in
its Colombian subsidiary for a nominal amount. In accordance with this
agreement, the Partnership paid the outstanding bank debt due of approximately
$1.4 million to local Colombian banks.
