     Re:  Class A Common Stock of Entravision Communications Corporation
          --------------------------------------------------------------

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 (the "Act"), of the Company's registration
statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), relating to an offering by
the Company of up to a total of 1,200,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the "Shares") upon election by eligible
employees of the Company to purchase Shares under the Company's 2001 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan").

     For purposes of this opinion, we have reviewed the Plan, 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:

     1.   The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing under the
          laws of the State of Delaware.

     2.   When the following events shall have occurred:

          (a)  the Registration Statement is filed, at which time it will become
               effective under the Act, pursuant to General Instruction D to
               Form S-8, and

          (b)  the Shares shall have been paid for and issued in accordance with
               the terms of the Plan,


the Shares thus sold will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
                                                        ---------
Registration Statement.

                               Very truly yours,

                              /s/ Foley & Lardner

                                       2
