Univision to roll out VOD – without Televisa

May 22, 2008 by Veronica Villafañe

Barely a little more than a day after Univision announced its plans to roll out a video-on-demand service of their programming starting January of 2009, Televisa warned not to count on their novelas.

Univision announced its VOD plan at the Cable show in New Orleans, saying it will offer 1,000 hours of sports, news, movies and entertainment previously aired on Univision, TeleFutura and Galavision… and even games from the 2010 World Cup!

Even though Univision does not mention Televisa programming as a VOD offering, the Mexican media company was quick to send out a press release stating: “Televisa’s program license agreement with Univision does not confer upon Univision any video on-demand rights with respect to Televisa’s content including its prime time telenovelas, series, shows or any other Televisa programming nor to Mexican Soccer League matches licensed by Televisa to Univision.”
