EchoStar Communications announced Thursday that its DISH Network will add Centroamerica TV to its Spanish-language, DISH Latino programming packages beginning Sept. 15, 2004.

Centroamerica TV is the first and only 24-hour, US-based Central American channel that will cater to the millions of Central Americans living in the United States and is produced by Media World LLC. Centroamerica TV will be available exclusively on Channel 834 nationwide in the DISH Latino, DISH Latino Dos and DISH Latino Max packages at no extra charge.

Centroamerica TV offers the best, originally produced programming directly from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama each day with up-to-the-minute news, novelas, talk shows, top-rated series, music, culture and soccer.

It features three direct soccer games every weekend for sports fans of the Guatemalan, Costa Rican, Salvadorian or Honduran professional soccer leagues.

The channel will broadcast up to six hours a day of live news directly from Central America, offering first-hand information never before available for Central Americans in the U.S., as well as the best sports coverage and entertainment with shows such as "A Toda Maquina" from Honduras, "La Super Esquina" from El Salvador and "De Locos" from Costa Rica, among others.

"We are pleased to be the first and only company to offer Centroamerica TV in the United States," said Michael Schwimmer, executive vice president of Marketing and Programming at EchoStar.

"Centroamerica TV complements DISH Network's expansive lineup of programming for Latinos and brings top quality and exclusive programming to the underserved Central American audience in the U.S."

"The channel's strength is that we managed to combine Central America's top-rated, original programming from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama to bring to the market a complete channel featuring live newscasts, shows and programs appealing to Central Americans and other Latin groups alike," said Roger Huguet, president of Media World.
