                                                December 30, 2002

GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A.
Av. Vasco de Quiroga No. 2000
Colonia Santa Fe
01210 Mexico, D.F.


Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are  acting as  Mexican  counsel  for  Grupo  Televisa,  S.A.  (the
"Company"),  a  limited  liability  stock  corporation  (sociedad  anonima)
organized  under  the  laws of the  United  Mexican  States  ("Mexico")  in
connection with its registration  statement on Form S-8 (the  "Registration
Statement") to register under the United States  Securities Act of 1933, as
amended,  certain  ordinary  participation  certificates  (certificados  de
participacion  ordinarios)  ("CPOs")  and Series "A" shares of the  capital
stock of the Company (the "A Shares").  Each of the CPOs has been issued by
Nacional  Financiera,  S.N.C.  (the  "Trustee"),  as trustee  for a Mexican
trust.  Each CPO  represents  financial  interests  in, and limited  voting
rights  with  respect  to, one  Series A Share,  one Series L Share and one
Series D Share  of the Company  (referred to collectively and together with
the A Shares, as the "Shares").

     We  have  examined  the   originals,   or   certified,   conformed  or
reproduction copies, of all records, agreements,  instruments and documents
as we have  deemed  relevant  or  necessary  as the basis for the  opinions
hereinafter  expressed.  In all  such  examinations,  we have  assumed  the
genuineness  of all copies  submitted to us as  conformed  or  reproduction
copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to such opinions,  we have
relied  upon   statements   or   certificates   of  public   officials   or
representatives of the Company.

     We express no  opinion as to the laws of any  jurisdiction  other than
Mexico.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1.   The Company has been duly organized and is validly  existing as a
          limited liability stock corporation  (sociedad anonima) under the
          laws of Mexico.

     2.   The   Shares   have  been   validly   issued,   fully   paid  and
          non-assessable.

     3.   The CPOs have been  validly  issued by the  Trustee and are fully
          paid and non-assessable.

     We hereby  consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Registration Statement.

     The opinion expressed herein is solely for your benefit and may not be
relied  upon  in any  manner  or for any  purpose  except  as  specifically
provided  for  herein  (other  than by  Fried,  Frank,  Harris,  Shriver  &
Jacobson,  the  Company's  New York  counsel)  without  our  prior  written
consent.

                                                Sincerely,

                                Mijares, Angoitia, Cortes y Fuentes, S.C.


                                /s/ Ricardo Maldonado Yanez
