The most read news in Panorama in 2025

Innovations in the field of UHD and IP; significant movements in the broadcast business scheme; Expected renewals among the main players in the sector, and bitter farewells from renowned figures in the Spanish industry draw the news of a 2025 once again marked by small improvements in the face of the disruptiveness that used to accompany the environment.

A wide selection of manufacturers continues to offer content capture and management solutions aimed at a UHD market still emerging, but what news like the new national DTT Technical Plan in Spain they seem to favor. As an example, important developments from brands such as Blackmagic Design, Canon, Fujifilm, Sony, Panasonic. Along with this, the constant evolution of IP environments, embraced by companies such as Lawo, Riedel, Evertz, LiveU, Grass Valley, LaON or Nevion. AI, of course, continues to be the subject of debate and innovation, as exemplified by developments from macas such as Akamai, Avid or Adobe.

2025 has also been marked by relevant movements in the Spanish industry. Broad Service, which has celebrated its 20th anniversary with a new corporate image, joined forces with Atresmedia to launch the B3 services company, while Crosspoint faces its future aware that the future of broadcast cannot neglect OTT contexts. Both companies, as well as other key agents of the Spanish integration ecosystem, have accompanied operators such as RTVE or Movistar Plus+, as well as companies as relevant as LaLiga.

The market does not stop at the redefinition of structures to address the changing challenges of the industrial landscape. A la sonada adquisición de Warner Bros. por parte de Paramount tras el intento de Netflix, se han sumado otros movimientos estratégicos: MediaKind se ha hecho con el área de vídeo de Harmonic; Imagine Communications ha integrado Pixel Power (Rohde & Schwarz); Riedel se ha volcado en el IP con la adquisición de HI (Human Interface), y EVS se ha reforzado con XD Motion. Además, LiveU ha adquirido Actus Digital; DPA Microphones, Austrian Audio, y Ross Video ha hecho lo propio con LAMA.

In the field of broadcasters, the acquisition of Telefe by Televisión Litoral, and of RTL Group by Sky Deutschland, outline a regulatory market that opens its hand to grouping as a way of survival for very large media structures that face challenges such as AI. And, meanwhile, revolution in Spanish football with HBS and TSA as the new people responsible for the production of LaLiga.

Also shocking, because unexpected, were the losses of two professionals who dedicated much of their career to sharing knowledge and creating community in the broadcast context: the producer Ricardo Medina, creator of a format as eternal as Madrid Direct and promoter of the 4K Summit through Medina Media Events, and Jose Manuel Menendez, director of the RTVE-UPM Chair.

Will the broadcast industry break the hallmarks that have accompanied it in the last five years in 2026? Will this false stability while waiting for the consolidation of new processes continue to mark the agenda of integrators, broadcasters and production companies? Will the complex global context provide opportunities or limitations to an activity that is still essential today for the future of an increasingly connected world? Soon we will have, or not, the answers.
