GlobeCast
has
signed
a
contract
with
Argentine

that

and

already
reaching
over
14
million
homes
in
Latin
America, Spain and the US Spanish-speaking
market.
The
agreement

will
allow

to
even
more
homes

The
signature
of
this
contract
with

is
an
important
validation
of
the
confidence
that
major
Latin
American
broadcasters
are
putting
in
GlobeCast.
