Azteca (BMV: TVAZTCA) is a Mexican multimedia conglomerate owned by Grupo Salinas. It is the second largest mass media company in Mexico after Televisa.^[1][2] As of 2011, it competes in Mexico with Televisa. It operates two television networks, Azteca 7 and Azteca Trece in Mexico with repeaters and affiliate stations in most major and minor cities.

History[link]

Azteca was founded on July 18, 1993. When two of three networks and all repeater stations owned by Instituto Mexicano de la Televisión were auctioned off by the Mexican government. Imevisión also owned the channel 22 of the Mexican Federal District, it was not included at the privatization package by popular demand of intellectuals and was delivered to Conaculta.

On July 18, 1993, the Mexico's Finance Ministry, Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (SHCP) announced that Radiotelevisora del Centro, a group controlled by Ricardo Salinas Pliego, was the winner of the auction process to acquire the "state-owned media package". The winning bid amounted to US$645 million. Other bidders included Grupo Cosmovision, a joint venture between different radio companies of Mexico (led by Grupo Radiorama), came in a distant second place with its US$495 million bid and Grupo Medcom, affiliated to Grupo Radio Red and controlled at the time by Clemente Serna Alvear and came in third with its US$454 million bid.

On March 7, 2011, TV Azteca changed the name to Azteca, for the subdivision simplification.^[3]

Broadcast television networks[link]

In Mexico, TV Azteca operates two networks: Azteca 7 and Azteca Trece. Both have had near-national coverage, mostly via over the air TV, cable TV, DBS, and FTA. Both networks are available in HDTV. Azteca 13 can also be seen live online via Azteca's website. Both Azteca 7 and Azteca Trece were established in 1983 as the state-owned Instituto Mexicano de la Televisión ("Imevisión"), a holding of the national TV networks Canal 13 (1968, state-owned since 1972) and Canal 7. In 1993, they were both privatized under their current name, and now it is part of Grupo Salinas. Its flagship program is the newscast Hechos. TV Azteca also operates Azteca 13 Internacional, reaching 13 countries in Central and South America. TV Azteca operates part of the Azteca América network in the United States.

Acting school[link]

The network has set up an acting school, Centro de Estudios y Formación Actoral (CEFAC). Alumni include Iliana Fox, Luis Ernesto Franco, Adriana Louvier, Fran Meric, Bárbara Mori, Laura Palma and Adrián Rubio.

Controversies[link]

Financial improprieties allegations[link]

On 5 January 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused TV Azteca executives (including chairman Ricardo Salinas Pliego) of having personally profited from a multi-million-dollar debt fraud committed by TV Azteca and another company in which they held stock.^[4] The charges were among the first brought under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,^[4] introduced in the wake of the corporate financial scandals of that year.

Legal and commercial problems with TVM[link]

TV Azteca has an unresolved ownership dispute with the original owners of Mexico City's XHTVM-TV, (flagship station of the pay TV network Proyecto 40). In 1998, TV Azteca had a commercial alliance with Javier Moreno Valle, who had serious financial problems with his channel, Televisora del Valle de México (TVM). The contract was to sell spots and advertising in TVM of TV Azteca's sponsors while TV Azteca used half of the air time with their own programming. TV Azteca invested 25 million dollars for restructuring TVM and accommodating of Azteca's Hi-TV technology (13 additional subchannels from the three Azteca operated stations in Mexico City)^[5] in TVM's installations in Cerro del Chiquihuite in Mexico City as part of the contract. TVM later stopped transmitting TV Azteca programming because the company was losing money. TV Azteca took over the station with armed security guards and later accused TVM of breaching their contract and won their case.^[6]

Federal Radio and Television Law[link]

Federal Radio and Television Law, a bill concerning the licensing and regulation of the electromagnetic spectrum. The LFRT was favourable to both TV Azteca and Televisa (who together control 95 percent of all television frequencies) because it allowed them to renew their licenses without paying for them. According to The Economist, the Ley Federal de Radio y Televisión "raced through Congress confirming the country's longstanding television duopoly" and constituted a "giveaway of radio spectrum and a provision that allows broadcasting licenses to be renewed more or less automatically".^[7]

Carriage disputes[link]

Since February 13, 2012, TV Azteca networks (Azteca 7, Azteca 13, and Proyecto 40) are being dropped by Mexican cable-TV carriers representing more than 4 million subscribers in a dispute over terms. Cableoperators claim that Azteca wants to charge a fee by packaging its over-the-air stations with cable networks, such as news and soap opera channels, which may represent a higher cost for their suscribers.^[8]

On February 2, 2010, a series of interviews with rival network Telemundo's show Al Rojo Vivo revealed that Arau was unexpectedly let go along with 300 other employees. Arau mentions the network having spoken to him about his leaving but cited other possible reasons for his removal, namely his large compensation, his failed projects with the network, and even a small mention of past issues with his religious beliefs.^[4]

Although he leaves the network mostly grateful for his twelve years of service and experience gained, he regrets the "unprofessional manner" in which he was let go. Part of his grievances include his not being allowed to say good bye to his audience. His departure was mentioned in a two minute section the Monday of the first show that aired without him. In an interview with Mexican gossip website Notimex, Arau contends that even the show's dog mascot was allowed a few minutes on air to say good bye before he was taken off the show.^[5]

Juan Ramón Francisco González (born June 24, 1987 in Bonao, Dominican Republic) is a Dominican professional baseball third baseman for the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball.

The then switch-hitting Francisco was signed as a non-drafted free agent on May 6, 2004 by Juan Peralta. He lives in Villa Altagracia, Dominican Republic.

Professional baseball[link]

Cincinnati Reds[link]

He spent his first professional season, with the Gulf Coast League Reds. He batted .280 in 182 at-bats with three home runs. He enjoyed a nine game call up at the season's end to the Billings Mustangs rookie class team, where he went 12-for-36.

Francisco spent 2007 with the single-A Dayton Dragons. He hit .268 in 534 at-bats, slugging 25 home runs and driving in 90. Juan was a Midwest League mid-season All-Star and post-season All-Star for the Dragons.

Promoted again in 2008, this time to the single-A advanced Sarasota Reds, he again spent the entire season with the same team. In 516 at-bats, he hit .277 with 23 homers and 92 RBI. Francisco earned All-Star status again, for both the mid-season and post-season in the Florida State League. In addition, he was selected to play in the 2008 Major League Baseball All-Star Futures Game. Francisco was named Reds' Minor League Hitter of the Year for 2008. Juan played winter ball for Gigantes del Cibao of the Dominican Winter Baseball League. In 40 games for the team, he .360 with 37 RBI, and his 12 home runs set the DWL record for regular season homers by a left-handed hitter. He continued to produce in the playoffs, hitting six more homers and 18 more RBI.^[1] His performance earned him the DWL Rookie of the Year accolade. He was added to the 40-man roster on November 20.

Originally a switch-hitter, Francisco abandoned hitting right-handed in 2009 to become a full-time lefty.

Juan began the year in double-A Carolina. He played in 109 games for the Mudcats, where he hit .281 with 22 home runs and 78 RBI in 437 at-bats. For the third year in a row he earned mid- and post-season All-Star recognition, this time in the Southern League. He was promoted to the triple-A Louisville Bats. He played in 22 games, getting 92 at-bats, and hit .359 with 5 homers and 19 RBI. Juan again earned a promotion, this time to the Cincinnati Reds.

Francisco made his debut for the Reds as part of a 3–1 win over the Houston Astros on September 14, 2009 at Great American Ball Park. Pinch hitting for left fielder Darnell McDonald in the seventh inning, Francisco faced pitcher Jeff Fulchino and struck out in his first Major League at bat.^[2] He finished his September call-up batting .429 (9-for-21) with his first career big-league homer and seven RBI.

He was again named Minor League Hitter of the Year, and Baseball America rated him the organization's best power hitter and best infield arm.

He headed back to the Gigantes for the 2009–10 DWL season. He played in 46 games this time, batting .302 with 11 doubles, 11 homers, and 42 RBI. The Gigantes were runner-ups in the playoffs, and in 22 games of post-season play he hit 3 home runs with 18 RBI. This performance earned him the title of 2009 DWL Most Valuable Player.

Francisco spent 2010 mainly with the Louisville Bats. Ironically, in his best statistical season to date, he was not named to any All-Star roster for the first time in four years. For the Bats, he played in 77 games and hit .286 in 308 at-bats, slugging 18 homers and 59 RBI in his shortened season. He spent the rest of the season with the Reds, and saw action in 36 games. He hit .273 with one homer and seven RBI in 55 at-bats.

He played winter ball with Cibao again, and continued to be one of the top players. In 39 games and 152 at-bats, he hit .322 with 8 homers and 30 RBI. They lost in the championship game again, but this time without Francisco, who fouled a pitch off his leg under his right knee on December 10 and missed the rest of the season. He was hospitalized when it became infected and inflamed and the knee had to be drained, but Walt Jocketty, Reds GM, said that it was nothing serious.^[3] Despite missing part of the season, Francisco won his second consecutive DWL MVP award. This and his other trips to the DWL playoffs, which are taken very seriously in the Dominican Republic, have given Juan post-season experience which he can bring with him to the big leagues.

Francisco made the club out of spring training in 2011 as a backup to Scott Rolen, backup left fielder, and a left handed bat off the bench. He switched his number from 64 to the more conventional number 25. On September 12, 2011, Francisco hit a home run off Chicago Cubs pitcher Rodrigo López that cleared the right field bleachers at Great American Ball Park. It was estimated to have gone 502 feet. It was the second longest homerun in Great American Ballpark history behind Adam Dunn's 535 ft home run in 2004.^[4]

Atlanta Braves[link]

On April 1, 2012, Francisco was traded to the Atlanta Braves for pitcher J. J. Hoover.^[5] Debuted at 3rd base on April 7, 2012 for the Braves against the Mets.

Scouting report[link]

Francisco plays first base and left field in addition to third base. He is known as a free swinging power hitter with a high strikeout rate. He also has a good throwing arm, as evidence by his recognitions from Baseball America in 2009.

He defended it once successfully in 2006 and was undefeated in 20 bouts (1 was a no-contest). Viloria's unbeaten streak ended when Mexican Omar Niño Romero won by decision.

In a rematch held on November 18, 2006 at Las Vegas, Nevada, Romero held onto his title with a controversial majority draw decision, with Viloria knocking down Niño twice.

Pressured by a fading career due to his past losses in big fights, Viloria defeated Solis, whom at the time of the fight was rated the #1 Jr. Flyweight by The Ring^[4] in the 11th round with a vicious right to the jaw. The official bout stoppage was a KO 2:56 into the 11th round.^[5] The fight was held at Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines, site of Thrilla in Manila, as the co-main event of the Donaire-Martinez fight. Along with the win, Viloria snapped Solis' 11-fight unbeaten streak, 8 of which were title defenses while extending his win streak to 6.

For his second defense, Viloria fought Carlos Tamara of Colombia on January 23, 2010. Though leading in points, the referee called a halt to the bout in Tamara's favor as Viloria was close to passing out in the twelfth round. Thus ended Viloria's title reign. Moments following the bout, Viloria passed out due to extreme exhaustion.

Outside the ring[link]
