Spanish broadcaster Mediaset, which owns the Telecinco and Cuatro commercial channels, has linked up with media company Mandarina Productions and journalists Javier Santos and Manu Carreño to establish a new production company.
Mediaset will have a 30-per-cent stake in the new production company, Supersport, which will be responsible for producing sports coverage for the broadcaster’s channels and programming that has been sublicensed to other channels.
“Supersport will encompass all daily sports products… and all sports events, reports and collaborations,” Mediaset’s director of information, Juan Pedro Valentín, said.
