Mediaset España, the Spanish
audiovisual group with the
largest Net following
Mediaset España’s capacity to provide viewers with a
leading leisure time offering reached a new dimension in
2011.The channel group’s audience dominance extended
beyond television to a different type of screens, increasing
its presence among Net surfers and social network users
more than ever during 2011.
The arrival of Cuatro and the new channels has driven the
integration of the Internet teams in a single unit, Conecta
5, which has been responsible for the group’s websites and
has maintained their essential features:Telecinco.es, Cuatro.
com, Divinity.es, Boing.es, Telecinco.es/factoriadeficcion,
Energytv.es, Telecinco.es/lasiete, Telemanía.es and Mitele.es,
Mediaset España’s new video portal.
This process has entailed major technical changes in
Conecta 5 in order to maintain the large website system
created following the merger. The team has unified all its
management tools and the site hosting platform to form
a single shared system for technical and design processes,
allowing each development to be fed and maintained
in a more agile, flexible, fast and secure manner. This
remodelling process will be completed in 2012 with the
launch of Mediaset.es as the main por tal to the group’s
websites, in a single graphic environment.
All the sites contributed to Mediaset España’s year-end
leadership in Internet users among national audiovisual
groups, with a monthly average of over nine million single
users, as compared with nearly seven million for the
Antena 3 Group and 8.5 million for the RTVE Group.
