The Mediapro agency has expanded the reach of its Canal F1 Latin America channel ahead of the new Formula One motor racing season by agreeing a carriage deal with Argentine cable television operator Cablevision.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed but Cablevision commenced broadcasting Canal F1 Latin America on March 10. The 2016 Formula One season opens with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 18-20.
Mediapro launched Canal F1 Latin America ahead of the start of the 2015 Formula One season. Canal F1 Latin America is available via pay-television platforms throughout the region, with the exception of Brazil.
Mediapro in March 2014 acquired rights to the motor racing championship across Central and Latin America and the Caribbean. The exclusive deal, which excluded Brazil, runs for five years, from 2015 to 2019.
