Commenting on the research, Lenard Liberman, President of Liberman Broadcasting, said: “We were blown away by the results of the research study. While we knew through our impressive Nielsen ratings that our programming was resonating with audiences, we did not fully appreciate the power of the EstrellaTV brand in the minds of viewers. It is clear that US Hispanic television viewers value greatly an alternative to novela heavy networks and identify personally with the programming that we produce. To possess some of the highest scores among all networks in all areas of brand affinity is impressive after only launching the network two and a half years ago.”

Said Winter Horton, Chief Operating Officer of Liberman Broadcasting, owner/operator of Estrella TV, “The brand loyalty that viewers expressed for EstrellaTV in the research demonstrates that our programming is right on target and validates our programming strategy of producing high quality programming in the United States specifically for U.S. Hispanics. The study provides a definitive confirmation of EstrellaTV’s success in building its brand among Hispanic viewers throughout the US.”
