Programming

Programming for Univision Tlnovelas is filled by Televisa's telenovela library, including telenovelas which have previously never aired in the United States.[1][5]

Carriage disputes

edit

Univision tlnovelas, along with sister channels Univision, UniMás, Galavisión and Univision Deportes Network were dropped by AT&T U-verse on March 4, 2016, because of a carriage dispute. This did not affect DirecTV customers (also owned by U-verse owner AT&T). They were returned to the lineup on March 24, 2016.
