Dish Network adds Telemundo Orlando.
January 25, 2008
DISH Network Corporation announced the launch of the local Telemundo affiliate in Orlando, WTMO-TV Ch. 31, in its local channel package. The package, combined with DISH Network’s DishLATINO packages, offers customers more than 37 Spanish-language channels.
In light of the recent removal of WTMO-TV from Bright House Network’s standard analog subscription level to the digital tier, DISH Network now stands as the only carrier in Orlando to offer the popular Telemundo local affiliate as part of its locals package.
“Delivering fair levels of television service to the Hispanic community is a priority for DISH Network,” said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network. “With this addition of Telemundo Ch. 31 to our local channel package, we will bring this channel and its popular programs to the living rooms of Hispanic viewers.”
“WTMO Telemundo Orlando has a strong relationship with the central Florida Hispanic community – from hosting the community-wide event, La Feria de la Familia, to delivering the important news of the day – and we’re thrilled to be more accessible to viewers through DISH Network,” said Cynthia Martinez of WTMO Telemundo Orlando.
