Toronto Hispano TV

Spanish culture in Canada.

ON THE 27th OF JUNE 2008 TORONTOHISPANO.COM, ONE OF CANADA’S LEADING SPANISH WEB PORTALS ANNOUNCED THE LAUNCHED OF TORONTO HISPANO TV
 
Toronto Hispano TV (THTV) is a new television program produced by TorontoHispano.com and Antropia Films. It will showcase the cultural diversity of the Canadian milieu from a Hispanic perspective. The program also seeks to celebrate the customs and traditions of diverse cultures and how global Hispanics live with them every day. THTV highlights diversity in Canada which is abundant, and for that reason the program bears the slogan “A lot of Culture.”

“This program wants to bring the best Canada has to offer Hispanics who live inside and outside the country, with various themes and current emphasis given to Hispanics: their world, their lives, their history, and what they think and feel inside the Canadian context,“ said Kelly de la Flor, director of marketing for TorontoHispano.com. The primary objective of this program is to highlight the Canadian cultural phenomenon, where diverse cultures exist in one country, and highlighting how Hispanics interact vis-à-vis within that.

THTV is being broadcast on Fridays at 8:30 pm and will be repeated on Sundays at 1:30 pm by Nuevo Mundo Television on Rogers Digital Cable Channel 642.   Additionally, the producers announced that a special section will open soon on www.torontohispano.com and will be devoted to transmitting THTV programs on the Web after Nuevo Mundo transmission.  “The public will have access to program 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” claimed Rene Garcia, editor in chief of Hispanic portal. “THTV Online responds to the growing consumption of video content from Internet users around the world. With this project the portal responds to global trends and the growth of the Hispanic community in Canada.”

TorontoHispano.com was founded in 2001, looking to the Hispanic community in Toronto and the general public interested in all matters relating to Hispanic culture as a target audience. In its eight years of operation, the website has become one of the most visited websites in Spanish from Canada.
