Televisa Second Quarter: $28M Loss as Sky Bleeds, ViX Grows
Markets
Grupo Televisa is one of Latin America’s biggest media companies, spanning cable, satellite TV, and a stake in the Spanish-language giant TelevisaUnivision, which runs the ViX streaming platform.
Its latest quarter captures a business caught between a shrinking old model and a growing new one.
Inside the Televisa Second Quarter
Revenue slipped about 3% to roughly MXN 14.3 billion (US$772 million), even with a boost from mobile, broadband and voice subscribers.
The bottom line turned red: Televisa reported a net loss of about MXN 497 million (US$28 million), against a profit in the same period last year. EBITDA came in around MXN 5.83 billion (US$315 million).
ViX Keeps Climbing
The growth engine is streaming. ViX, the platform run by TelevisaUnivision, now accounts for more than 20% of that venture’s revenue and cash flow.
TelevisaUnivision generated about US$605 million in Mexico in the quarter, reaching 675 million viewers across linear television and ViX combined.

Sky Keeps Falling
Pulling the other way is Sky, the satellite-TV service, which continues to shed customers as viewers cut the cord. The disconnections weighed on both sales and profit.
It is the classic media squeeze: the legacy pay-TV business fades faster than streaming can fully replace it.
Why It Matters
For investors, the quarter is a bet that ViX’s rise eventually outweighs Sky’s decline and returns the group to profit.
For Mexico’s media landscape, it is more evidence that streaming is now the center of gravity, even for a company built on broadcast.
