Verizon FiOS to Carry New Latin American Channels


Alterna’TV, a division of Latin America’s leading satellite service provider SatMex, has announced a carriage agreement with Verizon FiOS TV that will bring five channels from Latin America to audiences in the United States effective immediately.

The new channels join FiOS TV’s broad collection of programming, which offers more than 530 all-digital channels, including more than 130 HD channels and 30,000 monthly video-on-demand titles. They are part of Verizon’s La Conexion and Spanish Language packages, which offer more than 41 of the most popular Spanish-language channels.

These new channels are:
- Canal 22 Internacional (Channel 1646). Broadcast from Mexico City, the channel "the arts and entertainment channel that televises the rich colors and beautiful traditions of Mexico," with "content ranging from award-winning documentaries, in-depth biographies and popular Mexican movies to original productions including mini-series, talk shows, game shows and local news."

- Once TV Mexico (Channel 1512) Once TV México is an “edutainment” channel that combines an internationally acclaimed on-air look with award-winning programming. (So Mexico's version of PBS?)

- AYM Sports (Channel 1535) Live sports from Mexico, including soccer, baseball, wrestling, boxing, college sports, rodeos, etc.

- Ecuavisa Internacional (Channel 1512) The number 1 network and general entertainment channel from Ecuador.
