HISPASAT to Distribute Live Events and Movies to More than 500 Theaters in Mexico
Madrid, Spain, May 11 2015--The Spanish satellite operator HISPASAT has announced today a long-term agreement signed with the Mexican satellite service provider SPACENET to distribute movies and live shows to more than 500 Mexican movie theaters covered by SPACENET. HISPASAT’s satellite Amazonas 3, will assign a transponder to this service.
By signing this agreement, the two companies have consolidated a two-year-old relationship for the distribution of audiovisual content in theaters, a relationship which in 2014 made it possible to show the Brazil Football World Cup matches on screens throughout Mexico. Thanks to this agreement, it is expected that a broader and broader range of live events will be broadcast over this platform, and that both producers and independent theaters will be able to benefit from this flexible form of audiovisual distribution. SPACENET and HISPASAT are also working on extending this service to a number of movie theaters in other countries throughout Latin America.
Ignacio Sanchis, Chief Commercial Officer at HISPASAT, stated: “this agreement marks the culmination of a long-term collaboration relationship with SPACENET in the field of content distribution for movie theaters. HISPASAT takes great satisfaction in being able to use the numerous capacities and the versatility of its satellites to provide novel services which add value to all kinds of companies – in this case, those related to the movie industry – and which bring culture and entertainment closer to all citizens, along with many other activities related to our daily life. The next step is, together with SPACENET, to put these benefits within reach of movie theaters and private citizens in other countries in Latin America.”
