Hemisphere Media Group, the Alan Sokol-helmed media company targeting U.S. Hispanic and Latin American cable TV homes, has struck a carriage agreement with a major MVPD with a presence across the Mid-Atlantic Region of the U.S.
CentroAméricaTV, Televisión Dominicana, and WAPA América are now on the Verizon Fios lineup.
“Our collaboration with Verizon marks an important milestone in our commitment to serving Hispanic audiences with culturally relevant and high-quality programming,” said Sokol, President/CEO of HMG. “By bringing CentroAméricaTV, Televisión Dominicana, and WAPA América to Verizon Fios, we’re enhancing the viewing experience for millions of Central American, Dominican, and Puerto Rican families across the U.S. who are undeserved by traditional media.”
CentroAméricaTV delivers an unparalleled mix of news, sports, and cultural programming directly from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Televisión Dominicana offers content from the Dominican Republic’s leading networks, including live news, entertainment, and broadcast rights to Liga de Béisbol Profesional de la República Dominicana (LIDOM).
WAPA América, powered by broadcast channel WAPA-4 in San Juan, provides more than 45 hours of live news each week, original programming, and entertainment specials tailored to Puerto Ricans in the continental U.S.
