The SiVision streaming plans for form. Deadline for reports that the Spanish Media Giant will launch a global broadcast service worldwide in the United States and Latin America in 2022. The service will include a free level and supported by advertising (based on the existing Takes. Univision), while paying subscribers will also get the “best” univision tastes now and Vix.
The network has also taken a non-subtle Jab at Netflix, a rival soon recognized for its Spanish language emissions (including some univision coproducts). The coming offer will have more original productions based on Spanish than “any other streaming service,” said Univision, including more than 30 new originals in the first year. Appropriately, univision has just embaught Netflix Content VP Rodrigo Mazon as Executive VP for streaming broadcast on demand – it wants Netflix recipe if popular with the Latinx community.
This represents a significant expansion of univision. The company was founded in Miami and is strongly focused on Hispanophone Americans. If the unified service, univision will have much more influence on the international scene. The challenge, of course, evolves perceptions. Netflix already answered this hearing years ago and it can be difficult to convince people that it is worthwhile to go to (or paying a supplement) a new reamer.
