TV Azteca has inked a deal with Acun Medya that will see its live entertainment production being expanded to 300 hours this year, reflecting a 10 percent increase over 2017.

For 2019, TV Azteca looks to have 1,375 more hours of content, a 47 percent increase. The company will have more than 4,300 hours of entertainment programming a year.
