"The strength of our Azteca digital broadcast signal mirrors that of ABC sister station KMGH Denver's 7. We also have a unique opportunity to continue broadcasting on our analog channels.

"We congratulated our affiliate Azteca America Colorado for these important results. To be a leader in a market requires a lot of local hard work and effort behind our national broadcast network programming," said Adrian Steckel, CEO of Azteca America.

Azteca America Colorado's digital signal is automatically distributed to subscribers of cable and satellite service. Viewers, who utilize a digital converter box for over-the-air reception, receive Azteca America Colorado on digital channel 7.27.

For those viewers who have not converted to digital reception, Azteca America Colorado continues broadcasting its over-the-air analog signals.
