With this agreement, Eutelsat strengthens its leadership in Mexico by becoming the satellite operator that hosts virtually all the country’s most important public and private broadcasters within its video neighborhood. This move consolidates E117WA as the cornerstone for television distribution in Mexico and a reference point across Latin America.

José Ignacio González-Núñez, SVP Americas, Video Business Unit at Eutelsat said, “The arrival of Cadena Tres to our 117° West video neighborhood confirms the relevance of our orbital position in the Mexican market. We are proud to support one of the country’s most important media groups in its expansion and to reinforce our commitment to the audiovisual ecosystem in the region.”
