We are also increasing content production in HD, which is our main goal,” he added.Quiero ser Grupero, La Isla, La Academia and the soccer games are already being produced in HD.Breidsprecher indicated the company continues to invest in research studies to better serve its audience. “We are going to launch a new study in mid-September, where we ask the audience about their preferences. We are focusing on the channel’s image and soon we will have news to announce. We homogenized and modernized our screen with promos that feature a common style and that better catch our audience’s attention,” he added.Breidsprecher also pointed out they have intensified marketing efforts in markets such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and New York, supported by promos on radio, print, Twitter, Facebook and outdoor posters.
