Atresmedia content and distribution strategy
Overview
Atresmedia has implemented a strategic shift focused on prioritizing high-quality content and the development of original intellectual property. CEO José Antonio Antón stated that the company aims to create high-standard stories and formats that maintain value across various distribution windows, rather than relying on broadcasting licenses or high-cost sports rights.
Following this strategic direction, the company has expanded its international presence through several commercial agreements. During the MIPCOM 2026 fair, Atresmedia Sales secured distribution deals for its fiction catalog, including the period drama ‘Las hijas de la criada’, which has been licensed to broadcasters in Portugal, Ireland, Finland, Romania, and Croatia. The series is also scheduled to join Netflix in November. Other productions have also drawn interest across Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.
