The crisis that Televisa is going through is not a secret; the reduction of advertisers and the decrease in their audience levels has been around for a while; Now, things could change definitively, after the announcement that Emilio Azcárraga Jean is leaving his position as CEO of the Mexican television station, as reported by the American media The Wall Street Journal.

After this news, the ownership of the company will be in charge of Alfonso de Angoitia, vice president and chief financial officer, and Bernardo Gómez, in charge of the news and corporate relations division, who will share the direction of this company as two CEOs. They must find ways to attract new audiences and get the company out of the financial slump it is going through.

For his part, Azcárraga Jean, who was in charge of this company for two decades, will continue to form part of the company as a manager; In addition, he will be in charge of the philanthropic foundation and the Club América football team.

This magnate, whose fortune is estimated at 2,200 million dollars, took office after the death of his father Emilio Azcárraga Milmo, in 1997.

As part of the strategies to clean up the television station's finances, last year, the decision was made to terminate the exclusivity contracts of most of its celebrities; which was happening gradually, but constantly, and allowed the vetoes that were present for decades and that restricted talents to work on projects outside of Televisa to end.
