“Our greatest asset is that we are a niche OTT, we focus on showing only content produced in Spanish, not only from Mexico but from other Latin American countries and Spain. There is no other with these characteristics that can compete with nostalgic content,” added Rosas.

She recalled that Televisa produces 800 hours of content a year and also the platform has 15 thousand hours of content from many production studios in Spanish. “This is our differentiator,” she pointed out.

The panel also included María José Rodríguez, Head of Spanish Originals at Amazon Studios; Susana Herreras, Editorial Director of Fiction Production at Movistar+; María Grechishnikova, CEO of Star Media; Neale Dennett, responsible for launching BritBox International into new international markets, and Alan Sim, curator and Executive Producer of Elisa Viihde.
