RCN launches Tele El Salvador.

RCN Corporation added Tele El Salvador to its Hispanic programming lineup. The Spanish-language channel is the first in America to broadcast exclusive productions from El Salvador 24 hours a day. Programming includes live coverage of news, politics, sports, entertainment and special events from that nation.

“RCN strives to offer content that our subscribers will find compelling,” said RCN’s Strategic External Affairs & Programming Senior Vice President Richard Ramlall. “As a leading provider of international programming, we are excited to launch Tele El Salvador because of its news and sports coverage, in addition to its highly-rated programming, giving our customers the ability to stay connected to their home country.”

“Tele El Salvador was established last year to serve the 2.5 million Salvadorians living in the U.S., and it is truly a signal without borders,” noted Tele El Salvador’s Executive Vice President Marcos A. Jorge. “We are pleased to announce our affiliation with RCN and to offer their subscribers the best programming straight from El Salvador.”
