The event took place on Friday, October 26, at the Company's San Angel studios and was hosted by Emilio Azcárraga, Executive Chairman of the Board of Grupo Televisa, and Bernardo Gómez and Alfonso de Angoitia, Co-Chief Executive Officers of Grupo Televisa.

Mexico's President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador was among the distinguished guests who attended the event, as well as some of his closest collaborators and the leadership of the Mexican Congress. "This Company is extraordinary for Mexico," said the President-elect in an interview during the event with Denise Maerker, Televisa's nightly news anchor.

Patricio Wills, President of Televisa Studios, unveiled a wide range of new formats, storylines and genres, from science fiction and comedy to contemporary literature adapted for television. Of note, Wills highlighted the scheduled production of "The Last Dragon" from famed Spanish novelist and writer Arturo Pérez-Reverte, which will be a very ambitious production for free to air television, with scenes filmed in Mexico, Spain, the United States and Japan.

Wills also emphasized the Company's commitment to Televisa's audiences and to its advertising clients to produce solid and innovative content and described plans to launch additional production partnerships with global content distributors, such as Amazon. "Innovation is at the heart of everything we are doing. We are innovating not only to strengthen our core content properties, but also to reach audiences beyond our traditional markets. The world is our target," said Wills.

 

Leopoldo Gómez, News Vice President of Grupo Televisa described the technological transformation of the Company's news operation, introduced new formats, and highlighted the role of this division as a key platform for debates in the country, helping them transcend every sector of the population.

Gómez also explained the role played by Televisa News in the production of the series "A Strange Enemy", for Amazon: "We want to tell the stories that matter, and show them on every platform possible, always with the transparency and editorial discipline that characterizes our operation, which differentiates us from traditional news," said Gómez. The eight-episode series is available in 200 countries and the development of a new season is underway.

"It has been a great experience to work with Televisa. We found to have a great fit with them," said Pablo Iacoviello, Head of Content Acquisition for Amazon Prime Video for Latin America.

He also highlighted several initiatives to expand the reach with the audience, including the relaunch of the brand in coordination with Univision.

"In 2017, Televisa initiated a major undertaking with a deep transformation of its content division. This transformation has continued throughout 2018, and the new programming announced at our upfront presentation underscores the quality of our team, from general entertainment content, to sports, to news and to our presence in digital platforms," said Alfonso de Angoitia and Bernardo Gómez.
