Spanish-language television network Azteca America is now producing its U.S. national and Los Angeles local newscasts from Mexico City, reports the L.A. Times' Meg James.
The company, a subsidiary of Mexican broadcaster TV Azteca, until this week had originated its news programs for the U.S. from its facilities in Glendale. The network and its flagship station, KAZA-TV Channel 54 in Los Angeles, made the switch to save money amid a weak advertising market.
