Blim TV (stylized as blim tv) was an on-demand video subscription service, offered online via TelevisaUnivision,[1] through an Internet connection, which offers access to programs strictly for personal use, in exchange for payment of a monthly subscription fee.[2]
Its center of operations was in Mexico City. It was made available in 18 countries: Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Costa Rica, Panama, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Guatemala, Bolivia, Honduras, Paraguay, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Dominican Republic and Belize.[3]
It owned the productions of Televisa, as well the broadcast rights for titles from creators and distributors like Walt Disney Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and BBC.[4]
To compete with other on demand video services, it initially offered a monthly subscription for 109 pesos (approximately $5.65 US).[5] Like Netflix, blim tv offered the first month of its service free of charge.[6]
On 3 September 2019, Blim was relaunched as "Blim TV", adding 30 live television channels like Las Estrellas, Canal 5, Tlnovelas, Telemundo Internacional and Antena 3.[7][8]
As of July 2021, Luis Arvizu was the CEO of the company.[9][10]
In 2022, Blim TV merged all assets to Vix.[11]
