Move Networks Expands Global Presence with Televisa, World’s Largest Spanish-Speaking Media Company – Televisa Selects Move Networks as Services Provider for New Live and Video On Demand Sports and Entertainment Internet Television Portals

Move Networks, the leading provider of Internet television services, today announced the company is working with Televisa, the world’s largest provider of Spanish language television, to deliver live and on-demand sports and entertainment programming on Televisa’s new web portals, making this programming accessible to millions of viewers living in Mexico.
Move Networks’ Internet television streaming technology enables Televisa to deliver world-class online viewer experiences. Televisa’s new sports portal, www.televisadeportes.com, is dedicated to broadcasting widely expanded sports content including live and VOD (video on demand) soccer matches and extreme sports such as motorcycle racing, AAA Wrestling and skateboarding. The new entertainment portal, www.tvolucion.com, offers a variety of VOD content, including prime time television series, news programming, TeleNovelas and classic movies.
Move Networks partnered with Schematic and Microsoft Silverlight to develop Televisa’s new online channels and create a flexible solution for monetizing programming through innovative inclusion of video ads, skins and banners.
“For the viewing public and for Televisa, the player is win-win,” said John Edwards, CEO of Move Networks. “For viewers it’s a pleasure to watch crisp video and at the same time easily browse other exciting viewing options.”
The Move Networks player can be seen on www.televisadeportes.com and www.tvolucion.com beginning Thursday, Sept. 25.
“This is a giant step towards making your computer as much fun to watch as your TV,” said Trevor Kaufman, CEO of the innovative digital agency Schematic. “With top-notch content from Televisa, a superior picture from Move Networks, a powerful platform from Microsoft’s Silverlight, and a best-in-class user experience from Schematic, this new video player is truly greater than the sum of its parts.”
