This Tuesday, The TV Factory made official the news that had been predicted for weeks: the total and definitive break between the production company and Mediaset España, a communication group that, to date, owns 33% of its ownership. business level.
"The time has come for the credits. After 17 years of great success, the shareholders of La factory de la tele (Mediaset España, on the one hand, and Adrián Madrid and Óscar Cornejo, on the other) have agreed to end their corporate relationship , having already started the process for this purpose", they communicated through their social networks, concluding the message with an enigmatic message: "The future is yet to be produced."
It would be a friendly breakup, according to the newspaper El Mundo, citing, in turn, sources close to the agreement. In this way, Mediaset and La factory will stop creating joint productions, after 17 years of relationship that have left multiple highly successful formats, among which Sálvame and Deluxe stand out, canceled in 2023 after 14 years of uninterrupted broadcast.
The end of both programs was precisely the final straw for the relationship between the communication group and the production company founded by Cornejo and Madrid to cool, which worsened even more after the cancellation of Chinese Tales in September after only ten installments were broadcast. Now, the statement from La factory de la tele makes official news that comes just after learning of the departure of Borja Prado from the presidency of Mediaset Spain, after less than two years at the helm.
The clearest evidence of this point and end to the relationship between the production company and the media conglomerate is the change of hands of the three programs that were still broadcast within Mediaset. While Socialité will move to Fénix Media, the production company founded by Christian Gálvez, the group would have offered Risto Mejide to create a new production company to encompass the two spaces that he himself presents (Todo es Lie and Viajando con Chester).
As for the future of the production company itself, The TV Factory only secures, for now, the second part of Every Man for Himself on Netflix. The format, created at the request of the end of Sálvame on Telecinco, premiered its first three episodes last November and at the beginning of 2024 it will be the turn of the following, of the total of chapters that were recorded during the summer on the other side of the pond.
