LAPTV (Latin American Pay Television Service) is a Latin American pay television company founded by many cable providers of the region (MVS Comunicaciones, Grupo Cisneros) and many cinema producers/distributors (such as United International Pictures, distributor of Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios) but since 2019 is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company Latin America. It runs several film and television series channels, such as Cinecanal, Star and Film Zone, and previously Moviecity.

History[]

LAPTV was formed as a partnership between Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount Pictures, and Fox in Latin America^[2] in 1993^[1] with Universal Studios joining later.^[3] On May 22, 2012, Fox International Channels acquired MGM's stake in LAP TV.^[4] In March 2013, Fox purchased Paramount's position in the company, thus becoming the sole owner of LAP TV, and sign a content agreement with LAP TV.^[2] Starting on November 3, 2014, all the Premium channels of the pack were rebranded as "Fox+", dropping the "Movie City" brand definitely, and consolidating the Fox brand in LAPTV with the operations in Fox International Channels.^[5] Operations of Cinecanal and Film Zone were unaffected.
