- Grupo Audiovisual Mediaset España Comunicación, S.A.U. (formerly Mediaset España Comunicación, S.A.) operates as Spain's leading free-to-air television broadcaster and multimedia content provider, offering a portfolio of national channels including Telecinco, Cuatro, Factoría de Ficción, Boing, Divinity, Energy, and BeMad; digital platforms such as Mitele (rebranded as Mediaset Infinity in 2025 with enhanced live and on-demand access, personalized recommendations, and exclusive originals), Mtmad for millennial-targeted native video, Mitele PLUS (now Mediaset Infinity+) for subscription-based ad-free viewing with downloads and start-over features, and international variants; film production via Telecinco Cinema, which has delivered Spain's top-grossing films like Ocho Apellidos Vascos and Lo Imposible; content distribution and third-party production through Mediterráneo Mediaset España Group, encompassing entities such as Alea Media, Mandarina Producciones, and La Fábrica de la Tele for movies, fiction, entertainment, sports, and digital formats sold to nearly 200 countries; news services via Atlas agency and digital sites including NIUS Diario, Uppers for +45 audiences, Yasss for youth, and El Desmarque for sports; and advertising sales managed by Publiespaña across TV, digital, cinema, and social media via Be A Lion. The company generates revenue primarily from advertising slots, content licensing, and subscriptions, targeting diverse demographics from children and millennials to commercial 15-64-year-olds, with leadership in audience share (24.9% total, 27.4% commercial target) and strong digital engagement. Founded in 1989 and headquartered at Ctra. Fuencarral a Alcobendas 4, Madrid, it functions as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. following the 2023 cross-border merger completion, which integrated it into the pan-European group while maintaining Spanish operations under CNMC oversight. Recent developments include the May 2025 launch of Mediaset Infinity, resulting from 18 months of collaboration with Mediaset Italia to upgrade technology, interface, and free access to premium content previously subscription-only, alongside sustained audience leadership amid stable 2025 advertising sales despite market softness; ongoing content investments such as acquiring Turkish series Farah in 2024 and reviving scripted primetime production for Telecinco; and a January 2025 National Court ruling annulling a prior CNMC fine, reinforcing operational resilience.
