Spanish language Univision branded under ‘Destino 2018’ (‘destination’ or ‘destiny’) along with the ‘El poder en juego’ (‘The power at stake’) and originated coverage from a temporary curved desk with internally lit banding and frosted glass branding. Behind it, the network’s normal set featured political themed imagery during its election night coverage. Portion of coverage also originated from the network’s large, open newsroom. 

Univision also utilized augmented reality against another video wall to showcase a variety of data visualizations. 

Additional graphics were fed to on-set video walls and shot using the ‘walk and wander‘ and ‘video on video‘ style.
