Disney and TelevisaUnivision have reached a new distribution agreement that will give consumers access to more Spanish television stations than ever before.

In addition, TelevisaUnivision channels including N+FORO, tlNovelas, Bandamax, De Película, De Película Clásico, Telehit, and Telehit Música will be added to the Hulu + Live TV Español add-on.

“This new partnership allows us to strategically build upon our current channel offering and Spanish-language content available on Hulu + Live TV, while providing subscribers in Mexico with a meaningful opportunity to access the very best of Disney’s blockbuster films, award-winning Originals and iconic franchises alongside TelevisaUnivision’s industry-leading Spanish-language content including news, novelas, sports and more in one subscription,” said Lauren Tempest, General Manager, Hulu & EVP, DTC Content Partnerships.
Disney+ Will Be Packaged With ViX in Mexico
In Mexico, the new deal between TelevisaUnivision and Disney will bundle Disney+ and ViX as a combined offering. This will allow ViX users access to Disney+ as part of their subscription.
“We’re thrilled to enter into this new partnership with Disney that puts our community at the center. TelevisaUnivision is the top producer of Spanish-language content in the world, and this deal underscores two critically important elements: our portfolio is a main anchor for any pay TV distributor — without TelevisaUnivision, there is no complete pay-tv offering; and our direct-to-consumer business continues to break boundaries as ViX further strengthens its powerful connection to Hispanics around the world,” said Rafael Urbina, President of Streaming and Digital at TelevisaUnivision.
