The Azcárraga family is a prominent Mexican dynasty with a significant history in broadcasting and business. The most notable figure is Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta, who founded Televisa in 1930, a media conglomerate that would become the largest Spanish-language television producer in the world. His vision and entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for the family's extensive influence in Mexican media.

His son, Emilio Azcárraga Milmo, inherited the leadership of Televisa and expanded its reach significantly, both domestically and internationally. Under his tenure, Televisa became a powerful force, shaping popular culture and political discourse in Mexico and Latin America. He was known for his shrewd business acumen and his ability to navigate the complex political landscape of the country.

The current head of the family and Televisa is Emilio Azcárraga Jean, grandson of Azcárraga Vidaurreta. He has led Televisa through the digital age, adapting the company to new technologies and expanding its operations into various media platforms. The family's legacy is deeply intertwined with the development of mass media in Mexico, and they continue to be influential figures in the country's economic and cultural spheres. While primarily known for Televisa, the family's business interests have also extended into other sectors over the years.
