MEXICO CITY --
Mexico's Televisa, the world's leading Spanish-language show producer, said on Wednesday it is considering an investment in Dutch producer Endemol, the creator of reality TV hit"Big Brother."
Televisa chairman and majority owner Emilio Azcarraga told Reuters that an investment in Endemol Entertainment Holding NV was among several opportunities his company is pondering.
"We're looking at investment opportunities in Televisa's business areas, in production, distribution and entertainment," Azcarraga said at an event in Mexico City. "Obviously, Endemol is a good opportunity and we're studying it, and we'll see what can be done."
Spanish telecommunications company Telefonica owns 75% of Endemol, but is eager to get out of the content production business to concentrate on distribution.
