BBC World Service has announced a new regional content deal with MSN, which in 2009 will see BBC Spanish and Portuguese (Brasil) text, video and audio content on ten MSN sites across Latin America. The deal will extend the reach of BBC content across MSN’s Spanish sites in Latin America, as well as MSN/Prodigy Mexico, MSN Latino in the USA and MSN Brasil (in Portuguese).
MSN will host BBC news content across its sites, which includes audio, video clips and text news. Content will cover a broad news agenda including science, technology and culture, as well as international and regional politics. All videos will carry BBC and BBCMundo branding.
BBC text content has been available for the past few years on MSN/Prodigy Mexico, MSN Brasil and other MSN Latam sites. The new arrangement will expand the content to all MSN Spanish sites for the Americas, as well as full multimedia facilities.
