Azteca America Moving To KJLA Los Angeles

Azteca America has moved its Los Angeles affiliation (the country’s largest Hispanic DMA) to full-power KJLA. The decision to move to KJLA follows the sale of Azteca’s KAZA in the FCC spectrum auction last year.

The station will carry the network’s premier programming, including entertainment, adventure series and sports programming, as well as the network’s popular primetime programming and Hechos news franchises.

“Securing a robust presence in Los Angeles with full HD carriage on all cable and satellite providers is a significant move for Azteca America,” said Manuel Abud, president-CEO, Azteca America. “KJLA enables us to provide our viewers with premium Spanish-language content. Azteca’s launch on KJLA is part of HC2 Holdings Inc.’s strategy to preserve and expand Azteca America’s distribution footprint and solidifies its commitment to serving the number one Hispanic market in the country.”

“We look forward to entering the new year with a renewed commitment to serving the Latino community and offering our advertising and business partners the best service and most impactful marketing solutions to connect with our KJLA viewers,” said Enrique Perez, EVP of Azteca America Station Group.
