Azteca America adds DirecTV coverage in Dallas.

Azteca America is pleased to announce that its broadcast affiliate group Una Vez Más has successfully secured carriage of its Dallas station KODF on DirecTV’s local broadcast package.

The signal will be carried on DirecTV’s channel 26, which is the same as KODF’s over-the-air signal.

“The Una Vez Más affiliate station in Dallas has been one of the most active in our network,” said Luis J. Echarte, Chairman of Azteca America. “The addition of DirecTV carriage adds a key distribution component to a very strategic top-ten Hispanic market.”

“We’re very pleased with this landmark event for our Dallas station,” said Una Vez Más CEO Terry Crosby. “Satellite service in Dallas accounts for about one quarter of Hispanic television households and this should be an important boost to coverage.”
