Media and video transport technology specialist LTN has announced a partnership enabling Spanish-language media and content company, TelevisaUnivision, to migrate to IP-based video distribution.
According to LTN, the long-term agreement provides TelevisaUnivision greater flexibility, scale, and intelligence in live video distribution with LTN’s fully managed, IP-based transmission solution, LTN Wave.
TelevisaUnivision will deploy LTN Wave to deliver its full portfolio of 17 broadcast networks and cable channels via IP-based distribution, bringing live news, sports, and entertainment content to millions of viewers across the US, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.
TelevisaUnivision serves approximately 60% of Spanish language linear viewership across US and Mexican markets and provides the largest dedicated Spanish language streaming service in the world, ViX.

We’ve driven a number of IP-first initiatives across our organisation to power more creativity and unlock more intelligent media distribution capabilities. LTN is a trusted leader and innovator in the shift to more flexible IP-based options, and we’re excited to embark on our next phase of growth with a future-ready IP technology roadmap.”
