“Cinelatino has made a significant investment in programming, which is yielding huge ratings returns. Reaching this level of viewership is a major accomplishment, and our ability to outperform networks with subscriber bases ten times larger than our own comes from a deep understanding of our audience and their viewing preferences. We know that offering exclusive access to box office hits on weekends and holidays, when Latino families gather together, draws huge audiences, and we are committed to continuing to provide our audiences with a unique and premium viewing experience not available on any other network or streaming service,” said Alan J. Sokol, president and CEO of Hemisphere Media Group, the network’s parent company.
