Strategy and
business model
Atresmedia
is one of the largest communications groups in Spain, a leader in the television and
radio markets, with a growing presence in the digital market (internet) and in businesses that do
not depend on the advertising market. All of these media channels are marketed through its sales
organisation
Atresmedia Publicidad
.
Atresmedia Televisión
is the main division, the driving force of the group: it generates 88% of the
Group’s income.
It has 4 channels that are leaders among their target audiences:
Antena 3
,
laSexta
,
Neox
and
Nova
. With an offer based on variety,
Atresmedia Televisión
is now an established brand that en-
joys a good brand image, with differentiated, high quality, varied and diverse programming which
respects the viewers and tries to offer them the best product, in both news and entertainment.
The television business is subject to cyclical income, strongly linked to the performance of the
advertising market. Since 2007, the market for television advertising has shrunk by around 50%.
The income of the Television Division has therefore fallen over the years of recession. After the
merger with
laSexta
in October 2012, great efforts have been made to optimise the Company’s
structure, trying to obtain strong synergies in order to increase income and, as a result, this grew
above the market rate in 2014.
