Univision is considering a initial public offering next year, Reuters reported on Thursday.
The Spanish-language broadcaster has been private since a $12 billion buyout from Thomas H. Lee Partners, TPG Capital, Providence Equity Partners and Madison Dearborn partners six years ago.
Televisa, a Mexican media company that provides programming to Univision, also owns 5 percent of the company with enough of its debt to take up to a 30 percent stake.
