History
In early 2021, TV Azteca introduced its streaming service Azteca Now in collaboration with New York-based Icaro Media Group, positioning itself against Televisa’s Blim TV. Officially launched on August 10, 2021, it targeted audiences in Latin America and Canada, reaching approximately 100 million potential users. By September of the same year, Azteca Now extended its availability to Europe, entering markets such as Germany, Spain, and Portugal.
On November 15, 2022, TV Azteca revealed plans to launch Azteca Now in Mexico through its pay television channels, with the application becoming accessible on Android and iOS devices starting November 16. This initiative was a strategic response to the introduction of TelevisaUnivision’s Vix streaming service. Subsequently, on January 17, 2023, Azteca Now made its debut in the United States with a focus on Hispanic viewers.
