Regulatory News:
TV Azteca, a subsidiary of Mexico’s leading telecom operator,
financial services, insurance, and retirement fund Grupo Salinas,
has renewed its satellite capacity commitment through a multi-year
agreement with Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris, London
Stock Exchange: ETL). Further strengthening a decade-long
partnership between TV Azteca and Eutelsat Group, this new
agreement on EUTELSAT 117 West A satellite assures TV Azteca’s
continuity of video distribution services in Mexico.
Operating a video multiplex to deliver its HD channels to
digital TV towers and cable head-ends across Mexico, TV Azteca is
leveraging EUTELSAT 117 West A’s exceptional C-band coverage of the
region to distribute its satellite television service. The new
resources on EUTELSAT 117 West A will potentially allow TV Azteca
to provide a broader range of video services, extending their
current reach by accessing new and untapped markets in the
region.
Eutelsat Group’s 117° West location is the premium TV
neighbourhood for Latin America, offering pan-regional distribution
of major networks and content providers. With an extremely strong
cable head-end penetration, top pay-TV operators in Latin America
receive their content from 117° West. Around 400 TV channels, 80 in
HD, are currently distributed to over 110 million TV homes across
the continent. 117° West is also a growing free-to-air TV
neighbourhood with 100 TV channels broadcasting in the clear,
including channels from key regional public and private
broadcasters.
José Ignacio González-Núñez, Eutelsat Group Senior Regional VP,
Media Sales Americas, added: “We are delighted to announce a
continuity in our commercial relationship with one of our most
important partners in Mexico, which values the strong local and
regional presence we have. At Eutelsat Group, we are committed to
reinforcing such a relationship, not only in Mexico but beyond,
over other latitudes as well”.
