The law is intended to ease sector mergers at a time when Spain’s media is being hammered by the country’s worst recession in over five decades with advertising revenues dropping sharply. Prisa and Imagina’s parent company Mediapro also announced that they had reached a deal on sharing broadcasting rights of top Spanish football matches for the next three seasons ending a bitter dispute. La Sexta and Prisa’s pay-TV unit Digital+ have shared the broadcast rights for the first division and Spanish Cup but have clashed over which matches should be shown on which channel and at what time.
