Univision’s content would be a crucial offering for DirecTV’s online service, which is expected to launch later this year. It would also help the satellite operator to counter smaller rival Dish Network Corp (DISH.O), which is creating a multichannel Internet TV service that would be a cheaper alternative to traditional cable and satellite services. In addition to Univision, DirecTV is talking with other Spanish language media companies, according to the two people, who are not authorized to speak publicly.
