Hispanic Television Network, Inc. announced over the weekend that in accordance with its recently signed long-term distribution contract with Time Warner Cable, it began airing June 4, 2001 in Houston.

This is an important step for serving U.S. Hispanics with culturally relevant programming. HTVN is focused on the Mexican and the Mexican-American viewer and Time Warner Cable is demonstrating its commitment to diversity in entertainment and selection for its Hispanic audience.”
