Univision put up for sale

Here's an interesting fact: founder, chairman and CEO of Univision, A. Jerrold
Perenchio, does not speak Spanish. Now, he's also the central figure in the recent decision to put the popular Spanish
language channel up for sale. Some speculate the channel could draw in as much as $12 billion from possible buyers, and
people like CBS' Leslie Moonves, Rupert Murdoch, Time Warner, and Televisa, one of Univision's content providers, have
all expressed varying degrees of interest. Univision hasn't been failing in the ratings. On the contrary, it's actually
been doing exceptionally well. The decision to sell the company appears to be based on the 75-year old CEO's desire to
finally leave the network he began.
