Mediaset España Comunicación is a leading Spanish media group primarily engaged in free-to-air television broadcasting and content production. The company operates a portfolio of national television channels, including flagship networks such as Telecinco and Cuatro, as well as several thematic channels spanning entertainment, drama, sports and children’s programming. In addition to linear broadcasting, Mediaset España has developed digital platforms for on-demand and streaming services, enabling viewers to access live and archived content across multiple devices.
Founded in 1989 with the launch of Telecinco, the company grew through organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. A landmark moment came in 2010, when it acquired the Cuatro channel and associated assets from PRISA’s Sogecable business, reinforcing its position in the Spanish television market. Over the years, the group has invested in original production, producing popular reality formats, drama series and feature films through its in-house production arm, Telecinco Cinema, and partnerships with independent producers.
Headquartered in Madrid, Mediaset España serves viewers across Spain via digital terrestrial television and satellite distribution. Its digital portal, Mitele, offers catch-up TV, exclusive series and original web content, while the company’s advertising sales arm delivers targeted marketing solutions to national and international advertisers. The group also licences formats and distributes content to markets in Latin America and Europe, leveraging its catalog of unscripted and scripted programming.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Paolo Vasile, Mediaset España has continued to adapt to shifting consumer habits by broadening its digital footprint and investing in data-driven advertising technologies. The company is listed on the Bolsa de Madrid and maintains a shareholder base that includes institutional investors and the parent entity MFE-MediaForEurope. Through ongoing innovation in content creation and distribution, Mediaset España aims to reinforce its role as a key player in the evolving European media landscape.
