MIAMI and STAMFORD, Conn.—TelevisaUnivision and Charter Communications, Inc. have announced a multi-year agreement to extend and expand their partnership with distribution for linear networks and the launch of a new streaming service.
In a move that highlights the growing importance of streaming services in distribution deals between programmers and MVPDs, TelevisaUnivision will create a new ad-supported premium subscription version of ViX, set to launch later this year. It will be available at no additional cost to Spectrum customers who receive TelevisaUnivision channels as part of their Spectrum TV Select or Mi Plan Latino packages.
