Telefe, a main broadcast television network in Argentina, achieved record television figures on July 22, 2026, propelled by Argentina's run to the World Cup final, with its semi-final win over England drawing the highest audience. This success followed the channel's selection of Mediastream as its technology partner on July 21, 2026, to modernize its infrastructure ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 on a significantly tight timeline.
