Broadcast delivery for Televisa, TV Azteca, Imagen TV, and Multimedios — Mexican IFT spec and ATSC 3.0

Here is how this works in practice. We set up broadcast delivery into Mexico's full network landscape. The list covers Televisa San Ángel (largest Spanish-language TV networks, owns Univision after the 2022 merger forming TelevisaUnivision), TV Azteca Ajusco, Imagen TV, Multimedios, Foro TV, Canal Once (IPN), Canal 22 (Conaculta), and Canal 11. Each network publishes a network-spec delivery sheet. Our QC pipeline conforms masters against the fitting target. Typically AS-11 DPP-style wrapping with embedded BWF audio at EBU R128 / ATSC A/85 loudness, IFT-compliant captioning, and chapter-mark XML for ad-break placement on commercial networks.

On the ground, Files mux through Telestream Vantage or AmberFin iCR at finishing-house transcode farms (Lemon Studios, Cinema Maquina, Labodigital, Estudios Churubusco), then go through a senior QC operator's eyes-on-glass pass before handoff. Cross-border deliveries to Univision (US Spanish-language network). The Galavisión cable feed use the same TelevisaUnivision delivery spec post-merger, simplifying pan-North-American workflows.

Here is the short of it. Mexican broadcast operates under a 16:9 1080i/29.97 fps or 1080p/29.97 fps standard with ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) rolling out for terrestrial digital. Alongside legacy ATSC 1.0 still in service across most affiliates. Mexico uses ATSC for terrestrial digital TV (selected over ISDB-T in 2004, aligning with the US and Canada under USMCA harmonization). Mexican IFT (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones) covers range, content type, and accessibility needs including Mexican Sign Language interpretation and closed-captioning.

On the ground, Global deliveries to BBC use DPP UK specs and AS-11; US deliveries to networks ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Telemundo, and Univision use AS-11 with caption files (CEA-608 / 708 embedded or .scc / .srt sidecars). Records includes full as-run cue sheets, music cue submissions to SACM (Sociedad de Autores y Compositores de México), and IMSS-compliant talent rights certifications.
