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.
Ralf Jacob, EVP, global broadcast engineering at TelevisaUnivison, said: “TelevisaUnivision has always pioneered emerging technologies to fuel long-term business objectives and better serve our growing audience. 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.”
