Verizon Adds More Spanish-Language Channels to FiOS TV Packages for Hispanic Households

To meet the growing demand for international and foreign-language programming, Verizon has added five more Spanish-language channels to its FiOS TV lineup. The new channels -- CentroAmerica TV, Latele Novela Network, Pasiones, Teleamazones Internacional and Vme Kids -- expand FiOS TV's extensive Spanish-language offerings, which now include 39 of the most popular channels available.

"We've been watching the tremendous growth in our Spanish-language subscriber base and have further broadened our offerings to that diverse market with these new channels," said Terry Denson, vice president of content strategy and acquisition for Verizon. "Our multicultural native-language TV channel lineup is meeting the needs of our customers in households across the country."

The five channels were launched Monday (May 23) in FiOS TV's markets in Florida, California and Texas and will be in all FiOS TV markets by the middle of next month. Highlights of the new channels are:

The five new channels join Television Dominicana, Supercanal and VeneMovies, which were added to FiOS TV's Spanish-language and La Conexion packages earlier this year. The Spanish-language package offers some of the most popular Spanish-language channels available - including Galavision, ESPN Deportes and CNN en Espanol - for $11.99 per month. Verizon's La Conexion package offers the best in Spanish- and English-language programming, with more than 125 channels, including all Spanish-language channels, up to 14 HD channels and more than 54 of the most popular channels in English. La Conexion is available separately for $54.99 per month, or in a bundled package with FiOS Internet and voice service.

FiOS TV offers a broad collection of programming, featuring more than 520 all-digital channels including up to 140 HD channels and 18,000 monthly video-on-demand titles. FiOS also provides next-generation interactive services including an advanced interactive media guide; social networking, news and entertainment widgets; remote DVR management via broadband or cell phone; and more.
