Grupo América, formerly known as Grupo UNO Medios and also referred to as the Vila-Manzano Group, is a multimedia company in Argentina. It was founded by Mendoza-based entrepreneurs Daniel Vila and José Luis Manzano, a former politician and businessman. The group owns América TV, in partnership with businessman Claudio Belocopitt, and controls multiple television channels, newspapers, radio stations, and digital platforms throughout Argentina.
The company’s major media holdings include, Channel 10 of Junín, Radio Nihuil, Diario UNO Mendoza, and La Capital Multimedia of Rosario.[1] In April 2017, Grupo América relaunched the A24 news channel with a new programming lineup.
In 2019 the group sold the newspapers La Capital, Diario UNO Sante Fe and the radio stations La OCHO and FM Del Siglo to a holding group owned by businessman Gustavo Scaglione.[2]
Previously, Grupo América owned Supercanal, a cable television operator, but it was sold in July 2018 to CVI Austral LLP for approximately US$180 million.[3]
