At Its Upfront, Azteca America Will Unveil a Competition Show That Integrates Brands

The network was acquired by HC2 Network Inc. in November

This year, Azteca America, a U.S. Spanish-language broadcast TV network, will make its first upfront presentation under its new owners, after it was acquired in November by HC2 Network Inc.

The deal included 100 percent of the network and retained the same operational structure, said Manuel Abud, president and CEO of Azteca America.

“It really gives us an amazing opportunity to have this perfect combination with an owner,” Abud said.

Under the new owners, the network will debut a competition-style show, called Lights, Phone, Action!.
