In 1986, the Federal Communications Commission found SIN in violation of U.S. law prohibiting foreign ownership of U.S. broadcast stations. SIN's corporate parent was ordered to divest itself of its U.S. subsidiary, and SIN was sold to Hallmark Cards and renamed Univision. Under Hallmark's ownership, about half of its programming was rebroadcasts of telenovelas and other programming from Televisa, and half was original programming produced in Miami, Florida. When Hallmark sold Univision in 1992, its present owners cut a third of the Miami staff and reverted to a schedule based mostly on Televisa programs.
