HITN Expands Its Programming

Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network (HITN), a Pay TV network that offers educational content to Hispanic audiences in the United States, last week announced the expansion of its programming offering with its broadest ever lineup of productions in the factual genre on topics ranging from natural history and travel to crime investigation. The new content, which represents one of the biggest acquisitions of documentary programming in HITN’s history, is coming to network screens immediately.

HITN’s new programming includes epic natural history productions such as Animal Backgrounds, Clash of the Dinosaurs, Fearless Planet, Nature’s Deadliest and Magic of the Big Blue, as well as series that showcase fascinating aspects of Latin American culture and traditions, including Más que una Fiesta. Also premiering this season are the emergency medical series Critical Rescue and Prosecutors; In Pursuit of Justice, a program that helps audiences understand the workings of the US legal system by following the resolution of fascinating criminal cases.

“We are proud to offer US Hispanic audiences content that educates, entertains and has a positive impact on viewers’ lives,” said Eric Turpin, General Manager of HITN. “The new titles we are incorporating into our programming underscore our mission of offering Hispanic audiences a wide variety of quality content that gives them a better understanding of their roots and the world around them, in addition to shows with a practical focus on issues relevant to their everyday lives in this country.”
