PRISA Televisión, S.A.U (PRISA TV) is the leading pay TV company in Spain, created in 1989 and controlled (as of 2007) by PRISA. It was the first company to introduce interactive systems and specially Digital Television in Spain. In October 2010 the company changed its name from Sogecable to PRISA TV.
The company mainly manages and acquires audio-visual rights, but also distributes and produces channels. Another of its main activities is the production and distribution of cinematographic exhibitions.
Its restructuring process began in October, 2003, and finished in December, 2004, with the integration of Via Digital. They were trying this way to reorder Sogecable's activities absorbing the commitments with thematic channels, suppliers with audio-visual rights and other services. With this, restructuring the company contributed to the audio-visual recovery in Spain.
The producer of Sogecable is Sogecine. It is one of the principal distributors and producers in the Spanish territory, with special importance in the last years.
