Los
Angeles, June 14, 2006- Azteca America, the fastest-growing
Hispanic television network in the United States, is pleased
to announce that its broadcast affiliate group Una Vez Más
has successfully secured carriage of its Dallas station
KODF on DirecTV's local broadcast package.
The signal will be carried on DirecTV's channel 26, which
is the same as KODF's over-the-air signal.
"The Una Vez Más affiliate station in Dallas has been one
of the most active in our network," said Luis J. Echarte,
Chairman of Azteca America.
"The addition of DirecTV carriage adds a key distribution
component to a very strategic top-ten Hispanic market."
Azteca America has coverage in 48 designated market areas

including all of the top 20 Hispanic market in the United

"We're very pleased with this landmark event for our Dallas
station," said Una Vez Más CEO Terry Crosby. "Satellite
service in Dallas accounts for about one quarter of Hispanic
television households and this should be an important boost
to coverage."
