(BMV: TVAZTCA; Latibex: XTZA), one of the two largest producers of Spanish-language television programming in the world, announced today the groundbreaking of the most modern dramatic television studio in Latin America, an event led by Grupo Salinas Founder and Chairman Ricardo Salinas. The celebration was joined by actors, executives, producers and other TV Azteca personnel.

TV Azteca is proud to present today the project of new Azteca Novelas facilities, which will allow the production of improved dramatic series of high quality with increased efficiency that will imply cost savings.

This innovative development includes the creation of seven new studios with a total area of more than 5,700 m(2), the only one of its kind in Latin America. The largest of the studios will be 1,150 m(2) for producing musical events such as the "La Academia" musical reality concerts. The new studios are specifically designed for producing in high definition, with the high production standards of TV Azteca in a design that takes full advantage of every square meter.

Always a step ahead, TV Azteca once again sets the standard for novela production with cutting edge technology.
