DIRECTV Más launches Nuestra Tele Noticias.

DIRECTV Más, DIRECTV’s Spanish and English-language programming service, launched Nuestra Tele Noticias (NTN24), an exclusive 24/7 international news channel created by RCN Television that will provide world-wide news coverage in Spanish for the U.S. Hispanic audience. NTN will feature 30-minute news segments as well as programming related to the economy, entertainment, sports, weather and breaking news around the world.

“Rarely in our industry do we have the opportunity to launch a culturally relevant 24-hour news channel,” said John de Armas, vice president for World Direct, “Especially one that is produced by a company that truly understands the U.S Hispanic mindset and also meets the highest journalistic standards.”

“We felt there was a real need for a 24/7 news channel produced by professionals who live their lives in Español,” stated Claudia Gurisatti, director for NTN24. „We are committed to excellence and will go wherever the news takes us, including giving our viewers expanded coverage through a series of daily and weekly programs that will provide in-depth analysis of the day‚s important news events.”
