As for agreements with this country, we already have a project that will be very important. It is a series jointly with Mexico. The alliance is quite advanced and we expect that, like this one, there are more cooperation projects with Mexican producers for Star HD and our other channels, mentioned Pérez.Meanwhile, Domínguez assured that this launching will complement TVE Internacional and Canal 24 Horas, however, Star HD has the characteristic of being a theme channel for all America and it is focused on entertainment and fiction, in the aim to strengthen our leadership on the international stage and expand the brand in Spain.During the first quarter of 2016, the channel will be coded and distributed through the various pay TV operators in America.
