Table of Contents
Disney+ continues its strategy of partnering with European broadcasters, adding over 300 hours of Spanish programming from Atresmedia to its platform in Spain.
What happened?
Disney+ has reached an agreement with Spanish broadcaster Atresmedia to feature over 300 hours of Spanish-produced content annually on its streaming service in Spain.This is described as the “first major integration between a global streaming platform and Spain’s leading broadcaster.”
Starting this month, Disney+ subscribers in Spain will gain access to popular Atresmedia shows including The Voice, Your Face Sounds to Me, Vis a Dream, and Sea Outside. The content will be updated regularly.
Why It Matters: The Broader Trend of Streamer-Broadcaster Partnerships
This deal is part of a growing trend of streaming platforms collaborating with traditional broadcasters in Europe. Disney has already secured similar agreements with ITV in the UK and ZDF in Germany. Netflix is also pursuing this strategy, with a notable deal to carry live channels and on-demand content from France’s TF1 starting in 2026.
These partnerships represent a shift in the streaming landscape. Broadcasters gain access to a wider audience through streaming platforms, while streamers bolster their content libraries with locally produced, popular programming. This is particularly vital as streaming services seek to establish a stronger foothold in international markets.
Key Programs Included in the Deal
| Show Title | Genre |
|---|---|
| The Voice | Reality Singing Competition |
| Your Face Sounds to Me | Reality Impersonation Show |
| Vis a Dream | Drama |
| Sea Outside | Drama |
