CNN Latino Continues to Expand in Key Markets New Affiliation Agreement in New York, Orlando, Tampa and Phoenix Expand the Programming Blocks Reach
CNN Latino, the Spanishlanguage programming block custommade for the U.S. Hispanic market, is expanding to New York, Orlando, Tampa and Phoenix, it was announced today by Cynthia Hudson, senior vice president and general manager of CNN en Espaol and Hispanic Strategy for CNN/U.S. With the addition of these four new markets to its existing presence in Los Angeles, CNN Latino programming will now be available in markets that represent about a quarter of U.S. Hispanic Households.
CNN Latinos broad spectrum of programming covering news, lifestyle, documentary, talk and debate represents an alternative to traditional Hispanic networks, and it will now be available on WBQM Channel 3 in New York, New York; WATV Channel 47 in Orlando, Florida; WTAM Channel 30 in Tampa, Florida; and Channel 44 in Phoenix, Arizona. As part of its expansion plan, CNN Latino has partnered with TMATIG, LLC to develop alliances with key Hispanic television stations in east coast markets and CNN Latino has partnered with Lotus Communications to develop its alliance with Channel 44 in Phoenix.
We are so fortunate to be in a strategic partnership with TMATIG and their first group of stations, which will allow for a rapid expansion of the CNN Latino branded programming block across the east coast of the U.S., and to have a relationship with Lotus Communications in their heritage Phoenix station, said Hudson. We believe that CNN Latino programming is a great alternative to the current offering of Hispanic broadcast content in the U.S.
CNN Latino in New York WBQMLD Channel 3
CNN Latino signed with WBQMLD Channel 3, a lowpower television station in New York. The New York market is the secondlargest Hispanic market with 1,360,660 Hispanic TV households that account for 18.4 % of total households. The joint venture will allow Channel 3, owned by TMATIG, to carry the CNN Latino eighthour programming block from 311 p.m. (ET), as well as its current mix of local production and programming from Latin American partners, including shows from ColorVisin Channel 9 in the Dominican Republic, Jorge Barn Televisin in Colombia and RBC Televisin in Per, currently packaged under the BuenaVision brand which provides familyoriented entertainment content. Channel 3 will have carriage on some cable systems by the end of 2013.
We are very excited to be partners with CNN Latino in this venture. The local audience is key to the development of any media franchise in this changing market. Our production expertise combined with CNN Latinos high quality and relevant programming will certainly make CNN Latino in New York a channel of choice among Hispanic households looking for news, actuality, and information about their city, the country and the world, said Luis Isaias, President of WBQMLD Channel 3 and a partner in TMATIG.
CNN Latino in Orlando WATV Channel 47 and Tampa Channel 30
In Orlando, CNN Latino will be carried on WATVLV Channel 47, a low power station owned by SIMA Communications of Tampa LLC, and covers the area of Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford and Poinciana. SIMA partners are also part of the TMATIG joint venture. Orlando is ranked 17th among Hispanic TV markets and has over 232,000 Hispanic TV households. Channel 47 will also have carriage on various cable systems, including Verizon, AT&T UVerse, Century Link, and Summit Broadband by April 2013 and with Bright House by October 2013. CNN Latino programming will broadcast from 311 p.m. (ET), as well as local station programming and other BuenaVision content.
In Tampa, CNN Latino will be carried on WTAM Chanel 30, a low power station owned by SIMA Communications of Tampa LLC, and covers the area of Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Sarasota, Zephyrhills, Brandon and Riverview. Tampa is ranked 19th among Hispanic TV markets and has over 220,000 Hispanic TV households. Channel 30 will also have carriage on Verizon by April 2013, and on BrightHouse cable by October 2013. CNN Latino programming will broadcast from 311 p.m. (ET), as well as local station programming and other BuenaVision content.
For many years, the Central Florida region has been anxiously waiting to watch highquality Hispanic television outside of the traditional novellas, dramas and game shows which narrowly defines the interests of Hispanics. CNN Latino is like a lifesaver, bringing quality, entertaining and informational television content for the growing and powerful HispanicAmerican community and empowering them with more variety of content. For us at SIMA Communications, this is a reason for celebration and pride to be a part of this historic beginning of CNN Latino, which promises to become one of the most important Hispanic broadcast options in the U.S., said Francisco Moll, SIMA Communications Operations Manager and Business Partner of Tampa.
