NBC/Telemundo & TV Azteca America at it in LA.
November 4, 2006
NBC Universal/Telemundo has requested that the FCC deny the renewal of the TV license of Pappas Telecasting’s KAZA-TV in Los Angeles. Alleging that Mexican TV giant TV Azteca has more than a 33% investment allowable by law and excises controlling interests in the operation.
Azteca America rebutted the allegations, stating that the agreement between Pappas Telecasting and TV Azteca is a legitimate Local Market Agreement (LMA).
This is being considered payback by NBC Universal/Telemundo for the encounter between TV Azteca and Telemundo that stopped production of a Telemundo show in Mexico.
The games continue ……….
