2013 – 2014 tr3s Upfront.

Tr3s previewed its new original content portfolio targeting Hispanic adult millennials at its annual Upfront presentation held in New York City. The network’s more contemporary entertainment offering delivers over 300 hours of fresh content driven by new realities, novelas, docu-series, comedy and music. The circus-themed extravaganza introduced the new faces of the network alongside quirky sketches, acrobatics, and a high-energy performance by brand ambassador Daddy Yankee.

“Our significant investment in more original production is a major step in the evolution of the brand that now reflects a more balanced Hispanic audience and offering,” said Fernando Gaston, Brand Manager of Tr3s. “As the evolution of Tr3s continues, we’re confident these bold formats, rich characters and big stars will resonate with viewers.

Tr3s recent study “Hispanic Adult Millennials Living the Next Normal: Age of Uncertainty” reveals 45% of 18-34 Hispanics are living at home, resulting in a rise of multi-generational Hispanic households experiencing a co-viewing connection, particularly in prime-time – a key finding shaping Tr3s’ new balanced content portfolio.
