History
Recognizing the un-served need for programming that reflects the interests of U.S. Latino youth, a small but dedicated group of individuals came together more than four years ago to create a unique and relevant viewing alternative for young Latinos. Initially, that vision took shape in a two-hour entertainment program that aired twice a week from a small studio in the San Fernando Valley and reached less than one million homes. The initiative grew rapidly, and the vision is embodied in the LATV of today. Officially founded in January, 2001, LATV now operates from its fully equipped and staffed studios in Los Angeles, producing such innovative shows as Rok-A-Mole, Mex 2 the Max, The Hip Hop Show, Request@LATV, Instant Request, L.A. Chatroom and LATV Live, which was recently recognized with an Imagen Award for Best Variety or Musical Special.
About LATV
LATV is an entertainment, lifestyle and information network serving the growing population of bilingual U.S. Latino youth and young adults aged 12-34. Dedicated to creating smart, innovative and culturally relevant programming that appeals to a bicultural audience, LATV produces and airs 20 hours of first-run original programming each week. LATV currently reaches 4.4 million television households - including 3 million cable and satellite homes - across Los Angeles, the largest Hispanic market in the U.S. Having recently expanded its programming to 24-hours a day, seven days a week, LATV is now available to cable and satellite providers nationwide. In the Los Angeles area, LATV can be viewed on cable, DIRECTV, The Dish Network, or over the air on LATV's owned and operated KJLA. For more information on programming or how to carry LATV, visit the Website at www.latv.com.
The Hispanic TV of the Future
LATV consistently features live performances by top artists from different parts of the Latino world and entertainment industry, appealing to people of widely varying interests.

LATV's on-air personalities are immigrants and U.S.-born Latinos from New York and Los Angeles, and of Spanish, Mexican, Dominican, Cuban and Venezuelan descent.
As the U.S. Latino population continues to explode Ñ with projections that it will triple in size by 2050 and account for 24 percent of the total U.S. population Ñ LATV will continue to expand its programming, extend its reach and grow with its core audience. The LATV team is composed of the best and brightest professionals who are focused on developing unique and innovative programming that appeals to Latino youth and young adults and fills a previously unmet need in the media.

This fall, 'LATV En Concierto' is bringing viewers standout live performances by today's most popular artists, including Latin and non-Latin artists alike.

Every week, LATV's studio and television audiences witness exclusive concerts in an intimate setting the way they are supposed to be: en vivo. The LATV studio audience is treated to a level of interaction with the performing artist seldom seen on other television networks, creating a true connection between artist and fan.
With its groundbreaking mix of English and Spanish language music and lifestyle programming, LATV has solidified itself as the groundbreaking network among bicultural Latinos in Los Angeles, America's top Hispanic market. LATV was singled out by the New York Times for its support of the Latin alternative genre in a cover story about the musical movement. LATV's content is predominantly in English, targeting bilingual Latino youth. Each week, LATV (which has been airing since 2001) has a live in-studio audience. Presently, LATV is the only network airing on basic cable in Los Angeles that reaches the highly sought-after bicultural demographic. A favorite of national advertisers, LATV's sponsors include Verizon, Levi's, McDonald's, VW, Target Stores, and many others.
