Tv Azteca, S.A.B. DE C.V. (Mexico)

TV Azteca, S.A.B. de C.V., founded on August 2, 1993, is a leading Mexican multimedia conglomerate headquartered in Mexico City. It was formed following the privatization of the state-owned broadcaster Imevisión and is currently owned by Grupo Salinas, led by entrepreneur Ricardo B. Salinas Pliego, who remains its principal shareholder and chairman. TV Azteca is one of the largest producers of Spanish-language television content globally, operating four national networks—Azteca Uno, Azteca 7, adn40, and a+—broadcast through over 300 stations across Mexico. The company also manages Azteca Digital, a major digital media platform, and has international reach through content distribution in over 100 countries. Its most important products include news programs (e.g., Hechos), telenovelas, reality shows, sports broadcasts, and entertainment series. TV Azteca’s most recognized brands are its flagship channels and digital platforms, which have positioned it as a key competitor to Televisa in the Mexican media landscape. Historically, the company emerged from a bold acquisition and transformation of a bankrupt public broadcaster into a dynamic media empire, contributing significantly to media plurality and innovation in Mexico.
