Azcárraga Steps Off Televisa’s Helm as Gómez and De Angoitia Take Joint Control

The change signals a handoff of Televisa’s daily control to two deputies.

Overview

  • Stock exchange filings show Azcárraga is no longer listed as a top officer or director at Grupo Televisa, which is now jointly led by Bernardo Gómez Martínez and Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega.
  • Expansión reports he cut his stake from 46.7% to about 23.5% and ceded voting control after U.S. prosecutors revived the FIFA case in 2024.
  • He remains chief executive and board chair at Grupo Ollamani and chairs the boards of Cablevisión and Innova, keeping influence over sports, telecom and pay TV.
  • Ollamani posted 2024 sales of 6,028.5 million pesos with 1,836 employees and houses Club América, Estadio Banorte, PlayCity, Editorial Televisa and Intermex, while Cablevisión reported 14,628.1 million pesos in sales and 5,450 staff.
  • The family’s clout extends beyond media, with four Azcárragas in Expansión’s 2025 top‑100 list, and recent obituaries noting the death of cousin Alejandro Burillo Azcárraga.
