impreMedia to Syndicate BBC Mundo Online Content

Text, audio and video content from the BBC’s Spanish-language website, bbcmundo.com, is now available to users of the digital platforms of the leading Hispanic marketing and content company in the US, impreMedia, thanks to a syndication agreement.

Content from the award-winning website bbcmundo.com now appears on impreMedia’s leading digital outlets, laopinion.com and eldiariony.com. BBC Mundo’s journalism is well-known for challenging pre-conceptions and getting to the core of the issue – be it current affairs, technology, science, health or culture.

The BBC Mundo website has a strong presence across Latin America where it has built a roster of syndication affiliates including some major national publications. It also attracts audiences from the US Hispanic and Spanish markets.

BBC Mundo Editor, Hernando Alvarez, comments: “We are always keen to work with high-quality, established brands around the world. We are looking forward to expanding our user base thanks to this excellent collaboration.”

Frederick Durman, Head of Business Development for Europe and Latin America, adds: “We are delighted to have struck this multimedia agreement with impreMedia, a market leader in the US-Hispanic print and digital media. La Opinion and El Diario will help BBC Mundo reach new Spanish-speaking audiences especially in Los Angeles and New York.”

impreMedia welcomes this agreement, believing the world-class content from BBC Mundo will further diversify impreMedia’s offer to its audience. “This partnership will enrich our digital sites and will carry out our mission of satisfying our audience with the best quality information,” says Juan Varela, impreMedia’s Content Director.
