Mediaset abandons UTECA and opens a schism in the private television employers' association

Mediaset requests its departure from the Union of Open Commercial Televisions (UTECA), of which it is a founding member along with Atresmedia, due to disagreements with smaller operators.

This Thursday Mediaset Spain has decided to put an end to months of confrontation within the Union of Open Commercial Televisions (UTECA) requesting his departure from this association, of which he is a founding member along with Atresmedia.

Mediaset has communicated its decision to the rest of the associated television stations through a letter addressed to the president of UTECA, Eduardo Olano.

"In recent months, our deep differences with some associates have become evident, whose entry into the Association seems to have been motivated, not so much by a desire to energize it, but rather by a desire to destabilize it. Proof of this is that the latest UTECA meetings have been more focused on internal confrontations than on the defense of common interests," the letter states.

In recent months, both Atresmedia and Mediaset maintained a confrontation with DKiss. Both groups blame their owner, Blas Herrero, de desestabilizar la asociación y haber dado pie al expediente abierto por la Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC) que investiga si se da un duopolio publicitario en el mercado televisivo español.

Ambos grupos plantearon ayer la salida de DKiss de la organización, pero Real Madrid, Vocento y Unidad Editorial votaron en contra. Tras la votación, Mediaset anunciaba que dejaba UTECA, un paso que podría seguir Atresmedia y que supondría el fin de la patronal de la televisión privada que precisamente cumple ahora veinte años de vida.
