Una Vez Mas acquires TV Stations in Houston & Dallas.
January 3, 2011
Una Vez Mas (UVM) has acquired acquisition of full-power stations in Houston and in Dallas.
UVM is currently airing Azteca America programming on KYAZ-51 in Houston and KAZD-55 in Dallas through state-of-the-art 1 megawatt transmitters. The stations, which were purchased out of the pending Johnson Broadcasting bankruptcy, provide an upgrade from the previous UVM low power stations KUVM in Houston and KLEG in Dallas.
“This is great news for our affiliate network and great news for UVM,” said Martin Breidsprecher, COO of Azteca America. “The virtuous circle of stronger distribution in these key markets, improved network ratings and the gradual recovery of the Spanish-language advertising market are very positive for Azteca America.”
“These acquisitions represent a major step forward for our company,” said Terry Crosby one of the founders and CEO of Una Vez Mas. “We’ve spent several years identifying and pursuing full-power stations in Dallas and Houston, and we’re pleased to be able to take advantage of this opportunity,” added Randy Nonberg, co-founder and President of Una Vez Mas.
