London & Madrid, 1 June 2015: CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, and PRISA NOTICIAS, the world’s leading Spanish and Portuguese language media group, have today launched a partnership that will bring CNBC’s unrivalled business and financial news content to Spanish-speaking audiences.

CNBC original short-form videos, subtitled in Spanish, will be hosted on the homepage of various PRISA online properties, primarily the websites of acclaimed Spanish titles EL PAÍS and CINCO DÍAS. Both publications and their digital platforms have a strong business news readership and CNBC’s premium content will serve this audience well.

CNBC SVP of International News & Programming John Casey commented: “We are delighted to enter this partnership, which allows CNBC to serve the Spanish speaking business community, not only in Spain, but also in Latin America where PRISA NOTICIAS publications and their websites have a strong following. Spanish is the world’s second most widely spoken language and, in its ambition to provide quality news to business audiences worldwide, CNBC is grasping the opportunity to tailor its innovative digital content to this important market”.

Manuel Mirat, CEO of PRISA NOTICIAS, hailed the agreement as “a great opportunity to increase our offer of news and information. Quality news and video are the two basic pillars of PRISA NOTICIAS. This partnership with CNBC will allow us to offer our readers premier financial and business news in audio visual format, which will complement what’s already offered by EL PAÍS and CINCO DÍAS. This deal with the prestigious CNBC network is also a sign of the strength of our brands globally.”

At least five CNBC videos each day will be subtitled and made available through this deal, which also includes co-branding commitments and opportunities for further collaboration in future.
