\n\tDisney+<\/a> and Spain<\/a>\u2019s RTVE<\/a> have inked a deal for a selection of the public broadcaster\u2019s most successful shows, including \u201cMasterChief,\u201d one of the most iconic and most watched culinary talent shows on Spanish television.<\/p>\n

\n\tBeginning March 31, the agreement will expand the entertainment offering available to Disney+ customers while providing RTVE with a new distribution window that broadens the reach of its content, connecting with new, younger audiences\u00a0across Spain.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the RTVE titles to be incorporated into the Disney+ catalogue will be \u201cMasterChef<\/a>,\u201d produced by RTVE in collaboration with Shine Iberia, part of Banijay Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tDisney+ will premiere the 13 episodes of the hit show\u2019s Season 14 as well as the 12 episodes of Season 11 of \u201cMasterChef Celebrity,\u201d which will be available on Disney+ after their broadcast on La 1, the flagship channel of RTVE\u2019s public television division TVE.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe agreement marks the first time in Europe that a state\u00a0broadcaster has agreed to make shows available on Disney+ immediately after\u00a0linear broadcast.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe collaboration between Disney+ and RTVE also extends to scripted content, with \u201cRojo Sobre Blanco,\u201d\u00a0a new series produced by Mediawan subsidiary Good Mood, which will premiere on TVE and then on Disney+. Further titles will be announced at a later date.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tRTVE joins the international free-to-air broadcasters Disney+ works closely with across Europe, from Atresmedia in Spain, to ITVX in the U.K., ARD and ZDF in Germany and SIC in Portugal, \u201cunderscoring a shared commitment to championing and supporting local storytelling,\u201d Disney+ stated.<\/p>\n

\n\tEach collaboration is tailored to local needs, helping broadcasters reach younger audiences while providing more local storytelling to complement Disney+\u2019s global catalogue.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRTVE is loved by viewers in Spain, with a rich heritage of decades of incredible shows,\u201d said Karl Holmes, Disney+\u2019s general manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. \u201cThrough this agreement, we are delighted to bring some of RTVE\u2019s most iconic new shows to Disney+ customers, which are some of the most popular and recognized formats in Spanish television.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIncorporating these programs into Disney+ strengthens our ambition to enrich the service, while giving greater visibility to the extraordinary creative talent across Spain. This collaboration reflects our commitment to working closely with Europe\u2019s greatest free\u2011to\u2011air broadcasters, bringing their high\u2011quality local storytelling to younger and new audiences. We look forward to beginning this journey with RTVE and are confident it will lead to many more projects together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Disney+, the agreement also reinforces its commitment to Spanish audiovisual production and talent, enriching its offering with formats that have strong cultural and social impact.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor RTVE, the pact also reflects efforts to maximize the visibility of its content through strategic collaborations with global platforms. <\/p>\n

\n\tIndeed, both companies aim to continue the exploration of new synergies that contribute to the growth and strengthening of their editorial and audiovisual strategies.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe RTVE deal builds on a growing portfolio of free-to-air collaborations between Disney+ and leading European broadcasters.\u00a0It also expands Disney+\u2019s footprint in Spain, where the company also has a major large-scale, content-sharing agreement with Atresmedia that provides more than 300 hours of premium Spanish programming.<\/p>\n

\n\tDisney last year announced a first-of-its-kind content deal in the U.K. with ITVX, bringing curated selections of each platform\u2019s shows to new, complementary audiences and driving incremental discovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disney+ and Spain\u2019s RTVE have inked a deal for a selection of the public broadcaster\u2019s most successful shows,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":685393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[47295,7299,171,75096,287804,128,173,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-685392","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-banijay-group","9":"tag-disney","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-masterchef","12":"tag-rtve","13":"tag-spain","14":"tag-tv","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116300900422211189","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
