LATV’s new content lineup will hinge on creating inclusive programming that speaks to the experiences of Latinx Millennials in the U.S.   

The 2019 programming slate will include:

• Esa Soy Yo tackling the insecurities that Latinas face in society.

Esa Soy Yo, My Queer Story and WYKA are available now on LATV platforms, including LATV’s highest rated shows Get it Girl, Glitterbomb and The Zoo, which were all renewed with new seasons. Check it Out and Double Overtime will launch in Summer and Fall 2019.

LATV Networks is already securing omni-channel, upfront commitments, among them, Goya Foods. “With LATV’s inclusion of digital offerings, it was an easy decision to complement our TV-linear efforts while maintaining Goya’s efficiency goals. We’re excited to continue our long-standing partnership with the network,” said Odalys Rodriguez from Goya Foods, Interamericas.
