The 12th annual Latin Grammy Awards show made Univision the #1 network on Thursday night among adults 18-34, according to Nielsen.

11.1 million viewers tuned in to all or part of the three-hour broadcast live on Univision from Las Vegas. The broadcast positioned Univision as the No. 1 broadcast network for the entire night among Adults 18-34 for the second consecutive year.

According to Univision, the Latin Grammy Awards on the Spanish-language network continue to attract more Hispanic viewers in the demographic groups of Total Viewers 2+, Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34 than the combined audiences of the latest editions of the “Academy Awards,” “Golden Globe Awards,” and “Primetime Emmy Awards.”
