Familiar Voices & Faces From Mexico @ Mexicanal/DirectTV.

DirectTV, Inc., in association with Castalia Communications and Cablecom, is providing exclusively for its DirectTV PARA TODOS service customers, MEXICANAL, a new channel that will enable Mexicans from regions outside Mexico City to watch their favorite television programs from their hometowns, cities and regions of origin.

Recognizing the need for local and regional programming among the vast majority of Mexicans in the United States, who are from areas outside Mexico City, DirectTV selected the best regional and original programming from public broadcasters, independent producers and local access stations from more than six regions across Mexico. The channel will initially feature programming from Guanajuato, Jalisco, Estado de Mexico, Nuevo Leon and San Luis Potosi, among others.
