Carlton Pockets €7.3m Quiero TV Reimbursement

Spain’s Auna Operadores de Telecomunicaciones SA has been forced to buy back a 6% holding in its liquidated digital terrestrial TV business, Quiero TV (see Forecasts), from Carlton Communications, according to a report from AFX News.

The story is sourced from La Gaceta de los Negocios, which claims that Auna was obliged to return the ₏7.3 million Carlton invested in Quiero, should the project fail. This repayment reportedly comes with additional interest.

Auna now holds 73% of Quiero TV and is expected to buy back the remaining 27% of the collapsed digital operator. It is also thought to be planning the launch of a new cable digital TV service (see Spanish Viewers To Get New DTV Services).
