What is "imevision"

The Instituto Mexicano de la Televisión (Mexican Television Institute), known commercially as Imevisión after 1985, was a state broadcaster and federal government agency of Mexico. At its height, Imevisión programmed two national networks and additional local stations in Mexico City, Chihuahua, Ciudad Juárez and Monterrey.

As the Mexican government moved toward privatization, and in light of financial sustainability issues, most of Imevisión was sold in 1993 to a group headed by Ricardo Salinas Pliego, which came to be known as Televisión Azteca. The government retained one of Imevisión's local stations, in Mexico City, and converted it into a cultural channel under the auspices of Conaculta.
