Disney and TelevisaUnivision Form Unique Distribution Agreement for the U.S. and Mexico
The agreement will launch TelevisaUnivision's U.S. networks on Hulu + Live TV and introduce a streaming bundle with ViX and Disney+ in Mexico.
The Walt Disney Company and TelevisaUnivision have formed a unique distribution agreement for the U.S. and Mexico.
What’s Happening:
- The Walt Disney Company and TelevisaUnivision have formed a unique distribution agreement that spans both the United States and Mexico.
- According to The Hollywood Reporter, in the U.S., this collaboration will allow TelevisaUnivision’s networks such as Univision, UniMás, TUDN, and Galavisión to be part of the core offerings on the Hulu + Live TV service.
- Meanwhile, in Mexico, the ViX streaming platform from TelevisaUnivision will be packaged with Disney+, providing subscribers in the region with an expanded array of viewing choices.
What They're Saying:
- Rafael Urbina, president of streaming and digital at TelevisaUnivision: “We’re thrilled to enter into this new partnership with Disney that puts our community at the center. TelevisaUnivision is the top producer of Spanish-language content in the world, and this deal underscores two critically important elements: our portfolio is a main anchor for any pay TV distributor — without TelevisaUnivision, there is no complete pay-tv offering; and our direct-to-consumer business continues to break boundaries as ViX further strengthens its powerful connection to Hispanics around the world."
- Lauren Tempest, GM of Hulu & executive VP of DTC Content Partnerships: “This new partnership allows us to strategically build upon our current channel offering and Spanish-language content available on Hulu + Live TV, while providing subscribers in Mexico with a meaningful opportunity to access the very best of Disney’s blockbuster films, award-winning Originals and iconic franchises alongside TelevisaUnivision’s industry-leading Spanish-language content including news, novelas, sports and more in one subscription".
