{ViendoMovies;www.viendomovies.com}, the iconic pay TV channel owned and distributed by SomosTV LLC, celebrates this month its 10th anniversary. ViendoMovies shares with its audience in the United States and Puerto Rico films originally produced in Spanish, 24hrs a day, with no commercial breaks. Its catalogue features movies from all genres and from all Spanish speaking countries including Mexico, Puerto Rico, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Spain among others. As of today, substantially all major cable, satellite and telecommunications companies deliver ViendoMovies to its growing Latino subscribers. The channel’s catalogue features movies from all genres and from all Spanish speaking countries including Mexico, Puerto Rico, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Spain among others. ViendoMovies aired for the first time on September 5, 2006, immediately becoming an attractive option for the Spanish Speaking public and for the Spanish language packages offered on pay television. With a premium on-air look, the channel gave at the time a presence in the market to a significant number of high budget, theatrical contemporary films that were not available at any entertainment option. ViendoMovies brings to its audience around 200 films per month and no less than 120 new releases per year, all exclusive, programmed in a way that offers a continuously fresh look, with fewer repetitions. Moreover, the signal includes a robust on-demand package, to satisfy different viewing habits. The channel’s signal is produced entirely in high definition, with two satellite “feeds” that cover both coasts. ViendoMovies brings coverage to its audience of substantially all the major film festivals and markets featuring Spanish cinema.
