  • DISH Network Adds MTV S to DISH Latino Package
    DISH Network Adds MTV S to DISH Latino Package LITTLETON, Colo.--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Aug. 25, 1999-- EchoStar's 20-Channel DISH Latino Package Offers the Most Comprehensive Spanish-Language Programming Package in the United States EchoStar Communications Corp. (NASDAQ: DISH, DISHP) is pleased to announce that DISH Network™ will add MTV S to DISH Latino, the most complete Spanish-language television and audio programming package ever offered in the United States. DISH Latino offers Spanish-speaking customers a variety of television and audio programming from Latin America. Already a leading provider of Spanish-language TV programming, DISH Network is proud to be the first satellite television provider to offer the fast-growing U.S. Spanish-speaking audience the most extensive selection of news, sports, movies, music and other entertainment. "For the first time ever in the U.S., Latin music programming takes center stage," Eric Sherman, Director of Operations at MTV S. "An entire generation of U.S.-born Spanish-speaking young people will find the music of their lives and their culture represented only at MTV S. But beware, this isn't their parents' music. MTV S' mix of Latin Pop and Rock en Espanol represents the newest sounds of today." "MTV S is a great addition to DISH Latino by appealing to the interests of the young Hispanic community," said Michael Schwimmer, vice president of Programming at EchoStar. "The U.S. Hispanic population is over 31 million, and growing, yet this community has been largely disregarded by a majority of television providers. DISH Latino offers 20 television channels to millions of Spanish-speaking homes." MTV S targets the unique character and voice of the American Hispanic community.

PROJECT OVERVIEW The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) seek a Ready To Learn Television grant (RTL) to create a groundbreaking and comprehensive media initiative that will help to close the achievement gap for young learners from low-income households and contribute meaningful practice and research to the early learning field. Forming powerful collaborations within and across organizations devoted to early learning, media, and community engagement, the Project Team will address both invitational priorities from the Department of Education, producing and delivering comprehensive multi-platform educational media experiences to improve school readiness by focusing on science and literacy learning among low-income children ages 2-8, and combining media assets into dynamic new learning adventures that use embedded analytics and assessments to personalize the learning experience for users and provide meaningful information to parents, caregivers and educators. The Project emphasizes the importance of content, community, and collaboration: the power of adaptive learning experiences, the amplifying effects of family engagement, and the critical role of partnerships to move the needle for children from America’s lowest income communities.
