Vytal Group Acquires Chilevisión From Paramount, Signaling Management Changes

The purchase caps Paramount’s Latin America divestment after its Skydance-driven restructuring.

Overview

  • Tomás Yankelevich leads the buyer, controlling 75% of Vytal Group, with Chilean partners Jorge Carey and Edgar Spielmann holding the remainder.
  • The transaction includes Chilevisión’s full content library, current exhibition rights across news, entertainment and sports, and its streaming operations.
  • New ownership confirmed the exit of content chief Juan “Iñaki” Vicente, who will remain in his role until January 31.
  • Market reports indicate a price of roughly USD 30 million, a figure not officially confirmed by the parties.
  • Yankelevich previously sought to buy Telefe alongside Chilevisión but Telefe was sold to Gustavo Scaglione, and the buyers highlight Chilevisión’s multiplatform reach of over 14 million people.
