A new addition to DishLATINO packages is aimed at viewers who enjoy programming from Central America. Centroamerica TV features programming that includes original programming as well as top-rated soccer games from Central America.

A special feature of this new addition is the airing of Centroamerica TV’s La Liga (Spanish soccer league) game of the week, which airs every Sunday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Centroamerica TV is available in the U.S. only via satellite and can be found on DISH Network Ch. 832. The new channel comes at no extra charge to subscribers of DishLATINO Clasico and above programming packages. The channel will  provide Central Americans living in the United States with a solid connection to their home countries using informative and entertaining programming that includes "Viva la Manana" from Guatemala, "Hola El Salvador," "Noticias 12" from Nicaragua and "Telenoticias" from Costa Rica.

The channel will also air live soccer games each week and sports highlights programs like "El Pizarron Deportivo" from El Salvador, "Resumen Deportivo" from Costa Rica and "Gol a Gol," a thorough recap of the week’s highlights from La Liga.

"DISH Network is the leader in Spanish-language programming because we continue to bring new and exciting programming like Centroamerica TV to the wide variety of Latino communities in the U.S.," said Dave Shull, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network. "We are very pleased that the millions of Central Americans who live in the U.S. now have access to Centroamerica TV at a value unmatched by any other pay-TV provider in the country."

"We continue with our commitment to serve the Central American community in the U.S., and we are thrilled Centroamerica TV is now available through DISH Network’s DishLATINO suite of packages," said Antonio Briceno, general manager for Centroamerica TV and vice president of Distribution and Channels for Imagina U.S. "This reaffirms our standing as the leading channel for Central Americans living in this country."

On January 30, Dish Network made the Spanish language version of the History Channel available as part of its DishLATINO programming package.

Dish Network states that they have the largest number of Spanish-speaking customers of any cable or satellite provider in the United States, so this is something a lot of Spanish-speaking customers will appreciate.

The History Channel is one of my all-time favorite channels on Dish Network and the History Channel en Espanol provides the best of standard History Channel programming in addition to the programming that focuses on Latino history and culture.

As part of the launch of this new channel on Dish Network, a special offer is being made. New subscribers who sign up for any of the DishLATINO packages will receive a DVD featuring content from two popular series on soccer (while supplies last). To be more specific, the DVD contains “Height of Passion: Argentina” (Pasion extrema: Argentina) and “Champions of the World: Mexico” (Campeones del mundo: Mexico).
