About Us

Castalia is the leading independent distributor of multichannel platforms and exclusive content to the Americas. Technology and platforms are evolving every day and you need a partner who knows the market and can anticipate its trends.

Our History

Luis Torres-Bohl founded Castalia in 1991 after experiencing first hand the challenge of introducing cable and broadcast programming and products to foreign markets. Working with CBS, Turner International and other broadcast conglomerates, Torres-Bohl developed deep experience working on communications projects in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean and Canada. Since then we have evolved with the industry. As it branched out from a broadcast focus into streaming and other more content centric methods of delivery, we similarly expanded our capabilities to meet these new trends.

Company Highlights

Castalia distributes programming for its many television, content creator and streaming clients, has worked with large technology companies, and has a proven record of assisting its clients in increasing their presence and revenues in the industry, taking ideas from inception to businesses. Castalia has excellent contacts and expertise in Latin America as well as the United States and Canada, and continues several long-term collaborations in European and Asian markets.

VP of Satelites Mexicanos S.A. de C.V.
Castalia worked hard for TV Globo Internacional since its launching in 1999. They had a key role in developing the distribution strategy and its implementation throughout the Americas and Europe. What drew our attention to Castalia was their profound understanding of the Media industry, their contacts, experience, and a business-driven commitment to get things done easily. For me personally, that period of time we worked together was fun, fruitful and a great learning experience.
Marcelo Spinola
Director TV Globo International
Luis Torres-Bohl is a subtle yet persistent advocate and representative who gets deals done. Then, he follows up to make sure all parties get what they bargained for. He understands business. He understands art. He is loyal. His contacts in cable, satellite, and specialty media circles worldwide are unequaled. Our own emergence as a viable international alternative to conventional generalist television is heavily indebted to his encouragement and work.
