The Walt Disney Co. and TelevisaUnivision have forged a unique distribution deal, one that spans both the U.S. and Mexico.
In the U.S., the deal will see TelevisaUnivision’s lineup of networks, including Univision, UniMás, TUDN and Galavisión, launch on the Hulu + Live TV multichannel video service, as part of its core offering. In Mexico, meanwhile, TelevisaUnivision’s ViX streaming service will be offered in a bundle with Disney+.
“We’re thrilled to enter into this new partnership with Disney that puts our community at the center,” said Rafael Urbina, president of streaming and digital at TelevisaUnivision. “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.”
“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,” added Lauren Tempest, GM of Hulu & executive VP of DTC Content Partnerships.
