TELEVISA CO-PRODUCED SITCOM, "AMOR MIO", DEBUTS TO ENTHUSIASTIC
VIEWERS ON MEXICAN PRIMETIME
CAPTURES IMPRESSIVE 40% OF AUDIENCE SHARE
Mexico, D.F., August 24, 2006--Grupo Televisa, S.A. ("Televisa"; NYSE:TV;
BMV:TLEVISA CPO) announced today that it has successfully launched a new
Spanish-language television sitcom entitled "Amor Mio" on Mexican
primetime. The 30-minute show, with an initial commitment of 150 episodes,
has been received with widespread critical and viewer acclaim. The show
features some of Televisa's biggest stars. In its debut evening on August
14, IBOPE, Mexico's leading independent rating service indicated that the
sitcom captured 40% of viewers across the country and has maintained the
same level since--a nearly unprecedented percentage for a primetime
situational comedy. The show airs in Mexico Monday to Friday from 8:00 to
8:30 p.m. on Televisa's flagship network, Channel 2.
"Amor Mio" is a co-production between Televisa and an Argentinean

Producciones S.A.
Televisa owns the distribution rights for the program in Mexico and certain
other territories in Europe, Latin America and Asia, while the consortium
owns the distribution rights for the United States, Puerto Rico, and other
territories.
