Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta (2 March 1895, Tampico, Tamaulipas – 23 September 1972, Houston) was a Mexican businessman who built an entertainment conglomerate, Telesistema Mexicano (now Televisa).
[citation needed] In 1923, Azcárraga obtained a license to distribute radios from the Victor Talking Machine Company.
Around the same time his brother Raúl Azcárraga Vidaurreta had created a radio station with Mexico City's newspaper El Universal.
[citation needed] Azcárraga Vidaurreta established Estudios Churubusco in the 1940s and created the first TV station in Mexico, Channel 2, in 1951.
After the Mexican Revolution the company focused on safer investments, like the then-recently-developing radio industry.
