Atresmedia Corporación

What Atresmedia Corporación does

Atresmedia Corporación de Medios de Comunicación, S.A. is a publicly traded Spanish multimedia communications group headquartered in San Sebastián de los Reyes, Madrid. Founded in 1989 (originally as Grupo Antena 3), the company operates as Spain's only audiovisual group with leading positions across all major sectors — free-to-air television, radio, digital streaming, cinema production, and advertising sales. Its core products span six television channels (Antena 3, laSexta, Neox, Nova, Mega, Atreseries), three radio stations (Onda Cero, Europa FM, Melodía FM), two digital platforms (Atresplayer OTT streaming, Flooxer short-video), and film production via Atresmedia Cine.

The underlying technology is a multi-platform audiovisual content distribution system that unifies linear broadcasting, radio transmission, and on-demand digital streaming across AVOD and SVOD models. The Atresplayer platform supports international expansion that multiplied subscriptions fivefold, while Flooxer (launched November 2015) is a domain-specialized digital talent showcase. Advertising inventory is sold centrally through Atresmedia Publicidad, the largest multimedia advertising sales house in Spain with 19.3% share of total conventional media investment and 42.1% share of television investment.

Atresmedia generates revenue primarily through television advertising (the majority of group revenue), radio advertising, international channel distribution licensing (Antena 3 Internacional, Atreseries, Hola! TV reaching 32 million subscriber households), digital advertising, and a Media for Equity portfolio of 10 Spanish startup investees. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting advertisers and brands through direct relationships and agency partnerships. In FY2025, the company reported €1,002,231 thousand in revenue, €87,714 thousand EBITDA (8.8% margin), and €62,107 thousand net profit (6.2% margin), with a market capitalization of €1,101.6 million and a net cash position of €58,100 thousand. Ownership is anchored by Grupo Planeta-DeAgostini and RTL Group, with 225,732,800 shares outstanding on the Spanish stock exchange.
