The transaction was valued at approximately $234 million.

Under terms of the pact, TBS Latin America will also assume sales-representation rights for Claxson- and third-party-owned networks in Latin America and provide related technical services.

Turner’s Latin America portfolio now includes 13 wholly owned networks and 10 represented networks.
