Manuel Abud, president and Chief Executive Officer of Azteca America, will remain at the helm of the network
Azteca America announced that the network’s programming is moving to KJLA Channel 57, a full power HD station in Los Angeles. Beginning today, KJLA will air all current Azteca America programming in Los Angeles, the country’s largest Hispanic DMA.
The station will carry the network’s premier programming, including entertainment, adventure series, and sports programming, as well as the network’s popular primetime programming and “Hechos” news franchises.
The decision to move to KJLA follows the sale of Azteca’s KAZA in the FCC spectrum auction earlier this year.
“Securing a robust presence in Los Angeles with full HD carriage on all cable and satellite providers is a significant move for Azteca America. KJLA enables us to provide our viewers with premium Spanish-language content. Azteca’s launch on KJLA is part of HC2 Holdings Inc.’s strategy to preserve and expand Azteca America’s distribution footprint and solidifies its commitment to serving the number one Hispanic market in the country,” said Manuel Abud, president, and CEO, Azteca America.
“We look forward to entering the new year with a renewed commitment to serving the Latino community and offering our advertising and business partners the best service and most impactful marketing solutions to connect with our KJLA viewers,” said Enrique Pérez, EVP of Azteca America Station Group.
Azteca America will be available on the following channels with the following cable providers: Spectrum Cable, Channel 26; Charter Communications, Channel 26 and 726; DirecTV, Channel 57; Dish TV, Channel 57; Frontier Cable, Channel 57; AT&T Uverse, Channel 57 and 1057; Cox Cable, Channel 64 and 1032.
