INCAA Moves to Privatize Cine.ar TV and Cine.ar Play

The agency will seek a private operator through a formal process that preserves public access to its catalogue.

Overview

  • INCAA president Carlos Pirovano confirmed the institute will divest the linear channel and the free streaming platform to private management.
  • The transfer process is expected to take six to twelve months, with bid terms to be drafted and an economic benefit sought for the institute.
  • Any deal must keep INCAA programming available so audiences can continue to access Argentine films under private operation.
  • Cine.ar TV remains on the air during the transition and is still carried on pay-TV services such as Flow channel 300.
  • Staff in the area have been offered voluntary retirement as part of a reorganization, and officials say the TV signal will either be sold or closed.
