MiTú announced on Thursday that it has signed a multi-year, multi-platform deal with Mexican media giant Televisa.
MiTú’s multi-channel network dedicated to Latino content has 40 million subscribers and 1,200 content creators, producing videos in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
Televisa will leverage MiTú’s digital expertise and its roster of emerging Latino talent to develop content across various digital platforms. In turn, the Mexican media giant will work closely with MiTú to strategically distribute its content, allowing for brands and other potential partners to draw on Televisa’s wide-ranging media and communications portfolio, which includes radio, publishing and professional sports holdings, as well as a diverse range of TV properties.
MiTú talent includes L.A. radio deejay Chuey Martinez (pictured), who is currently adapting his MiTú variety/talker El Show with Chuey Martinez as a late-night show for HLN.
