Meristation Magazine

What Meristation Magazine does

Meristation Magazine is a Spanish-language digital media publication covering video games, movies, series, technology, comics, manga/anime, and books. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Girona, Spain, the platform is operated as a vertical within AS.com, the digital property of Grupo Prisa, the publicly-listed Spanish media conglomerate (Bolsa Madrid: PRS). Content is published via a standard responsive web CMS with mobile and AMP versions, and extends into Visual Stories, video, and the MeriPodcast audio series. Associated products include the AS Gaming Club community platform and a localized Wordle en Español daily puzzle.

The company operates a content-led, product-led growth model, distributing free editorial content across its own site plus Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, with separate editions for Spain and the USA. Its stated go-to-market is built on SEO, social distribution, and cross-promotion through the broader Diario AS network.

Meristation generates revenue exclusively through digital advertising — display, sponsored, and native placements — with no subscription or paid tier. The platform serves Spanish-speaking entertainment media consumers and, on the advertiser side, operates within Grupo Prisa's media portfolio. Editorial coverage includes reviews, analysis, guides, release calendars, streaming recommendations, and reporting on industry events such as La Velada del Año. The business has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, awards, or independent funding rounds; ownership, capital structure, and operational resources flow through the parent Grupo Prisa / Prisa Media organization.
