In 2012, advertising represented 72.8 percent of Televisa’s content revenues, and less than 34 percent of consolidated revenue. Our main sources of advertising revenue are our four broadcast networks —2, 4, 5 and 9— which Televisa operates through an affiliate network of 258 stations throughout Mexico. We also sell advertising in our pay-TV net- works, which contributed 4.6 percent of advertising revenue in 2012 and grew 23.6 percent.

13 content: network subscription revenue

Through our 22 pay-TV brands and 41 national and international feeds, we reached in 2012 more than 33 million subscribers worlwide. During 2012, Televisa produced approximately 20 thousand hours of content for its pay- TV networks.

The average number of networks per subscriber increased 7.3 percent, from 5.5 in 2011 to 5.9 in 2012.

In 2012 Televisa added close to 4 mil- lion new subscribers, generating 23.1 percent growth in subscription revenue.

In April 2011, we made a substantial investment of US$37.5 million for the acquisition of equity and of US$1,565 million for the acquisition of convertible debentures issued by GSF Telecom Holdings, S.A.P.I. de C.V., or GSF, which indirectly owns 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Grupo Iusacell, S.A. de C.V., or Iusacell. On June 14, 2012, we were notified that the Mexican Antitrust Commission approved the conversion of the de- bentures into equity, subject to our acceptance of certain conditions. On June 15, 2012, we accepted the conditions of the Mexican Antitrust Commis- sion and converted the debentures into common stock of GSF. As a result, we now hold a 50 per- cent equity stake in GSF. Under the terms of the transaction, both Televisa and Iusacell have equal corporate governance rights.

Iusacell is a well-positioned mobile operator with an extensive national network. It was the first pro- vider of wireless cellular third generation services in Mexico, and its spectrum capacity is sufficient to deploy next generation services to support cur- rent and future growth.
