Verizon adds five 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 -Centroamérica TV, Latele Novela Network, Pasiones, TeleAmazonas 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. Our multicultural native-language TV channel lineup is meeting the needs of our customers in households across the country,” said Terry Denson, VP of Content Strategy and Acquisition for Verizon.The five channels were launched in FiOS TV’s markets in Florida, California and Texas and will be in all FiOS TV markets by the middle of next month. The five new channels join Televisión Dominicana, Supercanal and VeneMovies, which were added to FiOS TV’s Spanish-language and La Conexion packages earlier this year.
