Yanina Latorre revealed Telefe's future: 'In 15 days, it will be known who is buying it.'

Telefe, one of the giants of the small screen in the country, is currently in the midst of negotiations to determine its future.

According to what Yanina Latorre revealed on the show Sálvese quien pueda (América Tv), the sale process is already advanced and the decision regarding who will be the new owner could be known within the next two weeks.

"Within 15 days we're going to know who the buyer is", stated the panelist, previewing what promises to be one of the most significant business moves of the year in the audiovisual sector.

During the broadcast, Latorre provided details about how the operation is unfolding. She explained that the mechanism is similar to a bidding process and that there are currently five groups interested in acquiring the channel.

"There are five bidders. Four proposals have already been submitted and the final one is still pending from one of the most important groups: Yankelevich," she detailed.

The panelist also mentioned some of the names that have already put their cards on the table: "One of the groups is Yankelevich's, another is Santa María's, owner of Canal 9, and there are three more whose names I don't know."

Although the figures have not been disclosed, Latorre clarified that the price will not be the only determining factor. "When all five offers are in, the channel will decide. It doesn't necessarily have to be the one that pays the most," she explained, emphasizing that the continuity of projects and long-term viability will be key in the final decision.

The conditions for the new owner

One of the most important points Latorre highlighted was that, regardless of who becomes the buyer, existing agreements must be respected. "Everything that was agreed upon before can't be changed," warned the panelist.

To illustrate the situation, she gave as an example one of Telefe's star hosts: "If Santiago del Moro currently has an agreement to continue until 2030, the new owner must not change the conditions."

This way, the panelist made it clear that the sale will not imply abrupt changes in programming or current contracts, guaranteeing a certain stability for the on-air personalities and work teams.
