NBC UNIVERSO, the modern, general entertainment cable channel for Latinos, was the most-watched Hispanic cable network the day of its re-launch on Sun., Feb. 1, in total day and primetime, fueled by its exclusive Spanish-language broadcast of Super Bowl XLIX, which reached a cumulative audience of 1.14 million viewers, according to Nielsen.
