             --------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Entravision Communications Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and
filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the Company's registration statement on
Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement"), relating to the registration for resale
by certain persons of up to 3,896,580 shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Shares"), which will be issued in
satisfaction of that certain Secured Promissory Note dated December 18, 2000
(the "Note") in the principal amount of $37,500,000, pursuant to the terms of
the Note.

     In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have reviewed the Note and
the Registration Statement and the Exhibits thereto. In addition, we have
reviewed the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction of all such corporate records of the Company and such other
instruments and other certificates of public officials, officers and
representatives of the Company and such other persons, and we have made such
investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions
expressed below. In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed that
the signatures on all documents that we have reviewed are genuine and that the
Shares will conform in all material respects to the description thereof set
forth in the Registration Statement.

     Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares to be issued
in satisfaction of the Note have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action of the Company and, when issued in accordance with such authorization and
delivered, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     The foregoing opinions are limited to the federal law of the United States
of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
                                                        ---------
Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus included therein.

                            Very truly yours,

                            /s/ Foley & Lardner
