Mexico’s TV Azteca, one of the two largest producers of Spanish- language television programming in the world, announced today that, as part of its ongoing efforts to expand its programming sales abroad, is negotiating to sell content to channel 10 in Israel.
The company also announced plans to sell broadcasting technology support to the channel. TV Azteca intends to sell some of its most successful international programming, which includes novelas and entertainment shows.
The company noted it does not intend to purchase any equity interest in the Israeli Network.
TV Azteca currently distributes its programming to more than 90 countries. International programming exports accounted for $12 million in revenues during 2002.
TV Azteca is one of the two largest producers of Spanish-language television programming in the world, operating two national television networks in Mexico, Azteca 13 and Azteca 7, through more than 300 owned and operated stations across the country.
TV Azteca affiliates include Azteca America Network, a new broadcast television network focused on the rapidly growing US Hispanic market; Unefon, a Mexican mobile telephony operator focused on the mass market; and Todito.com, an Internet portal for North American Spanish speakers. — (menareport.com)
