Alterna TV expands carriage on Comcast Chicago.

Alterna TV has announced the addition of three of its channels, Ecuavisa Internacional (from Ecuador), Telemicro Internacional (from Dominican Republic) and AYM Sports (from Mexico) in Chicago as part of Comcast’s newly expanded Spanish-language programming tier. The three 24/7 channels join Alterna TV’s previously announced Comcast’s city of Chicago offerings CBTV, Mexico 22 and Once Mexico.

“We are very proud to be part of Comcast’s groundbreaking Hispanic initiative,” said Leonardo Alvarado, General Manager of Alterna TV. “By launching this new programming tier, Comcast is making a bold, positive move for the Hispanic community. They are recognizing how important the Hispanic consumer is and are giving them the attention they deserve.”
