Castalia

Castalia Communications was founded in 1991 to serve as a catalyst for new communications ventures worldwide. Over the past 18 years, Castalia has become a leading independent distributor of broadcast, satellite, cable and web-based programming and technology internationally, including the creation, launch, distribution and management of Mexicanal, the first regional news, information and entertainment television network for Mexicans in the US, Mexico and Canada.

From business plan to launch, market research to affiliate sales, asset valuation to collections, Castalia is a one-stop, full-service partner for cost-effectively growing communications ventures in the Americas, Canada and Europe.

Partner with Power

Whether you're launching, selling advertising in, expanding or just beginning to develop your venture, you need a broad, fast-moving and fast-changing stream of service.

For securing anything from talent to bandwidth, for negotiating everything from margins to new media, for building anything from a studio to press relationships to an empire – from Toronto to Tokyo to Tierra del Fuego – rely on Castalia.

Start Strong

Our business is good business, and we won't waste your time. If your idea is sound, we can make it more profitable. Equally important, if your idea won't make money – like many ideas in this industry – we'll explain why not, and offer viable alternatives.

You Want to Build Your Channel

If you're just starting, come to Castalia, the people who can take you from idea to business plan to a secure foundation of capital.

If you're in development, come to Castalia, the people who successfully create, launch and build networks. From Mexicanal (our own channel) to Much Music in Argentna, from Gems to the Travel Channel, from HBO in Latin America to Canal+ in Europe, we know how to get you off the ground.

And if you're on the air but want to be in bigger and better markets, come to Castalia, the people who can connect you with everything from linear to nonlinear, cable to internet to cellstreams.

While we are the leading independent distributor of programming to the Americas, our expertise extends in every direction.

You Want to Increase Your Distribution

If a major obstacle between you and key markets and affiliates is access to the right people, we can help. Wo not only know the people to know – in business, government and finance as well as telecom – we've worked with them for years, negotiating dozens of contracts and serving millions in markets in every continent.

And if you're considering VOD or SVOD for your program or linear channel, consider Castalia. With key paths in place, we can handle your distribution quickly and easily.

Make Better Deals

That is, let Castalia make them for you. No other independent distributor can off you the depth and breadth of industry and negotiating wisdom that we bring to the table. We can help you know when to bargain with bite, when and how to offer concessions – and equally important, when to walk away.

With offices in New York, Mexico, Brazil and Peru, we're in a position to discover and quickly take advantage of new opportunities. Don't get stuck reinventing the wheel when Castalia can have you moving much faster.

You Want to Increase Your Revenues

Because we sell channels, we know what makes a channel sell. And we can make yours look better, pull more viewers and attract more advertisers.

To maximize advertising sales in today's arena, you need the right mix of research tools, U.S. and international agencies and accounts, packaging and pricing, and product placement and integration. Frankly, you need Castalia.

What's more, we can identify and strengthen the weak links in your supply chain for better returns on your investment. From production to programming acquisitions, equipment and back-office support, depend on award-winning Castalia professionals.
