Televisa will also be MGM\u2019s production partner, designing and operating a production hub that will service local versions throughout the rest of Latin America and globally.<\/p>\n At NATPE, MGM is presenting the format for other countries to produce at Televisa\u2019s hub.<\/p>\n Chris Ottinger, MGM’s president of worldwide television distribution and acquisitions, said: \u201cWe are honored to partner with a world-renowned firm such as Televisa for MGM\u2019s first-ever production hub. The hub solution allows us to produce TKO<\/em> on par with CBS\u2019s U.S. network standards, but at a much more affordable price point for international broadcasters. Televisa\u2019s best-in-class production capability, plus their leading ability to influence buying trends in the rest of Latin America, made them our first choice.\u201d<\/p>\n Eduardo Clemesha, Televisa’s VP\u00a0of entertainment, said: \u201cWe are delighted to partner with MGM to bring TKO<\/em> to TV screens in Latin America.
