Telefónica became a private company in the 1990s, and since the liberalization of the
telecommunications sector, it has operated in the most competitive local market in
Europe. The company has tried to compensate for the loss of hegemony in its country with
a strong position in other European and Latin American markets. Among its diversification
projects, following in the footsteps of AT&T, its attempt to transform itself into a global TV
company stands out. This article analyzes the evolution that this Spanish company has
undergone in the last 30 years. The most relevant factor in its role as a pay-TV service
provider is that it has been forced to face a substantial economic outlay to have original
content and a position of supremacy in the purchase of sports broadcasting rights. Our
results indicate that today two visions coexist within Telefónica: One committed to
maintaining a pay-TV model, and another that considers that paid content should occupy
a secondary role, limiting itself to being a mere platform aggregator, after forming
continuous alliances with Netflix, Disney+, and DAZN. [-]
