Pfäffikon, Switzerland, September 2, 2026--iKO Media Group (iKOMG), a global provider of satellite, cloud and OTT broadcast solutions, has announced a new partnership with Atresmedia Internacional to distribute three of its leading international television channels across Latin America through a combination of satellite and IP delivery.
The deployment, delivered in collaboration with Eutelsat via the 117° West video neighbourhood, provides reliable regional coverage through a hybrid satellite and IP distribution model. The agreement marks another milestone in iKOMG's continued expansion across the Americas, following the opening of its Miami office and the ongoing development of its growing distribution platform serving North and Latin America.
Under the agreement, iKOMG will distribute three Atresmedia Internacional channels across Latin America: Atrescine, dedicated to Spanish-language cinema; Atreseries Internacional, featuring popular Spanish television series; and ¡HOLA! TV, an international lifestyle and entertainment channel.
The channels will be distributed via the EUTELSAT 117 West A satellite, one of the region’s leading video neighbourhoods reaching millions of homes across the Americas, with IP delivery also available in selected locations to extend reach and support specific operational requirements.
All three channels are received and processed at iKOMG’s broadcast facilities, where encoding and encryption are managed before transmission to the 117° West orbital position. The centrally managed workflow provides consistent service quality while simplifying the operational requirements associated with distributing content across multiple territories and delivery environments.
Working with Eutelsat, iKOMG is expanding its distribution platform on 117 West A, creating a growing broadcast neighbourhood for international channels targeting Latin American audiences. The Atresmedia deployment is among the first on the platform, with further launches planned in the coming months.
The partnership supports Atresmedia Internacional’s continued international growth, extending the reach of its premium Spanish-language cinema, series and entertainment programming to audiences throughout Latin America.
Miguel Santos, Project Manager at Atresmedia Internacional, said: “Our priority is to ensure our channels are delivered with the highest levels of quality, reliability and operational efficiency. iKO Media Group provides a fully managed solution that combines satellite and IP delivery, simplifying operations while ensuring consistent performance across the region.”
Nicolas Baravelle, RVP Sales at Eutelsat’s Video Business Unit, added: “Latin America remains an important market for international broadcasters seeking to extend the reach of premium content. We are pleased to support iKO Media Group and Atresmedia Internacional through EUTELSAT 117 West A, demonstrating the strength of this established video neighbourhood for reliable, high-quality channel distribution across the region.”
Francesco Cataldo, Chairman of iKO Media Group, commented: “This partnership with Atresmedia Internacional represents another important milestone in our strategy to expand iKO Media Group’s presence across the Americas. It reflects the growing demand from broadcasters for managed, hybrid distribution services that combine the resilience of satellite with the flexibility of IP to deliver reliable, scalable and future-ready content distribution.
“Together with our growing collaboration with Eutelsat and the opening of our Miami office, this agreement reflects our long-term commitment to the region and strengthens our ability to support broadcasters and content owners with flexible distribution solutions as their audiences and delivery requirements continue to evolve.”
With operations spanning Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, iKO Media Group continues to invest in infrastructure, regional expertise and strategic partnerships that enable broadcasters and content owners to simplify distribution while delivering premium television services across satellite, IP and OTT platforms. As the Group continues to expand both its global distribution network and its portfolio of media platforms, further strategic partnerships and international launches will be announced in the coming weeks.
