Annual and Corporate Responsibility Report 2015

67 / 239

In 2015, the External Production Department generated 158 purchase proposals, which
accounts for 15% less than in 2014 as a consequence of a decrease in channels through the
closure of Xplora , Nitro and laSexta3, despite the launch in 2015 of MEGA and Atreseries.
Of the total number of purchase proposals, 50% corresponded to national distributors and
50% to foreign distributors.
In all cases, the acquisition of broadcasting rights are processed through an internal
system of approvals, which guarantees the transparency of the process and provides
in-house disclosure of the procurement conditions to the finance, legal advice,
programming and internal audit areas.
