Prisa also has 19% of Sogecable, Spain's only paid subscription digital service (several channels, including rights to popular soccer teams such as Real Madrid), with another 19% held by the ailing Canal + (formerly part of the Vivendi Universal conglomerate.
Prisa controls 87% of Grupo Latino de Radio (300 stations in Panama, Chile, Colombia and Costa Rica).
Spanish media group Prisa said Friday that net profit fell 12 percent in the first nine months of the year as the company was hurt by the full consolidation of money-losing broadcaster Sogecable.
Prisa said that on a comparable basis, the company's advertising revenue in all media segments rose 10 percent from the same period last year, almost twice the estimated Spanish market average.
Prisa spent almost euro1 billion ($1.26 billion) to raise its stake in Sogecable to around 45 percent from 25 percent.
