MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s top network Televisa announced on Tuesday that it has inked a multi-year content licensing agreement with Netflix.
Under the agreement, Televisa will provide 3,000 hours of progamming annually to Neflix on a non-exclusive basis.
“This agreement will increase the availability of Televisa programming in Latin America, Brazil and the Caribbean, where Netflix has announced its plan to launch subscription streaming by the end of the year,” the broadcaster said.
