With a focus on growth, the company aims to capitalize on its investments in both linear and streaming platforms, as well as enhance its news and sports offerings. The merger between Univision and Televisa has created a formidable presence in the Spanish-language media sector, combining two leading companies that serve the largest and most valuable Spanish-speaking markets globally.

Alegre is poised to build on TelevisaUnivision’s established foundation and leverage its extensive content pipeline and technological advancements. He expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to lead the company and collaborate with global teams and partners to enhance its programming and outreach.

Under Wade Davis’s leadership, TelevisaUnivision has solidified its multi-platform media business, which offers a diverse array of entertainment, news, and sports programming. As Alegre takes charge, the company looks forward to seizing new opportunities and deepening its connection with the communities it serves, further solidifying its role in the evolving media landscape.
