TUDN (American TV channel)
TUDN (pronounced tu-de-ene; formerly called Univision Deportes Network) is an American Spanish language sports channel based in Mexico. Owned by TelevisaUnivision, it is an extension of the company's sports division of the same name, with TUDN the acronym of TelevisaUnivision Deportes Network. It launched on April 7, 2012, along with Univision Tlnovelas and FOROtv.
The network's main properties include major soccer events in the Americas, including per-team coverage of Liga MX, the Copa América, and CONCACAF's Champions League and Gold Cup events. In 2018–19, it also became the Spanish rightsholder of the UEFA Champions League. The channel has ties with the Mexican sports channel of the same name, sharing some of its programming. In 2019, it was announced that TDN and UDN would jointly relaunch as TUDN—signifying a greater amount of collaboration between the two channels.
As of February 2015,[update] approximately 39.7 million households (34.1% of those with television) received the channel. Univision stated per Nielsen ratings that TUDN was the sixth-highest rated U.S. sports channel in 2019 in terms of average primetime viewership. By June 2023, this number has dropped to 23.2 million households.
In May 2011, Univision Communications announced three new cable television channels to strengthen its position in the Latino market and diversify revenues, including one dedicated to soccer and other sports. It signed a deal with the Dish Network in January 2012 to carry the channels via satellite. The channel dedicated to sports was named Univision Deportes Network. On May 11, 2012, AT&T U-verse signed a carriage agreement with Univision Communications to carry the channel, along with Univision Tlnovelas.
The channel had an output agreement to carry selected programming from Televisa Deportes Network (TDN); the network was branded as Univision TDN during these programs.
At launch, it offered a secondary network known as Univision Deportes Network Dos airing repeats of matches and studio programming, which was exclusively carried by Dish, but is currently defunct.
In May 2019, it was announced that both Televisa Deportes Network and Univision Deportes Network would be jointly rebranded as TUDN. Univision Deportes Network officially rebranded as TUDN on July 20, 2019. The new branding is an abbreviation of both names ("Televisa Univision Deportes Network"), but the first two letters are also pronounced as the Spanish adjective "tu" (your), allowing the name to also be read as "Tu Deportes Network" ("Your sports network").
TUDN is a multi-platform brand, and has a closer collaboration between the American and Mexican channels, allowing for expanded studio programming in the morning and daytime hours (to bolster its expansion into European soccer with its recent acquisition of UEFA rights, and existing content such as Liga MX soccer).
