"The channels offer a vast portfolio of movies, showing 300 new releases and more than 100 hours of original new productions during primetime per year. We program to meet the specific needs of Hispanics and specifically the large Mexican community in the United States. AT&T U-verse offers an extensive list of Spanish-language channels and we are thrilled to be a part of the AT&T U-verse TV lineup."
