El Salvador 24: New FAST Channel Launches for US Salvadoran Community

El Salvador 24, or ES24, is a new FAST channel focused on serving the US Salvadorean community. Launches have taken place on ViX, fubo, Sling TV, and Sling Freestream in the United States. It belongs to Hemisphere Media Group, whose networks cater to US Hispanic and Latin American audiences.

ES24 is a news and entertainment channel, much of which comes from Hemisphere’s relationship with TCS, one of the largest broadcasters in El Salvador. The channel will transmit a live daily newscast, news analysis, and sports to update subscribers on both domestic and international events. But far more than an informative channel, ES24 will be a cultural force: a showcase for El Salvador’s customs, holidays, and most popular on-air television personalities via family-friendly variety programs.

Programming on ES24 includes daily news broadcasts like Noticiero 4 Visión Meridiano and Teledos Estelar, sports anchor content such as DC4, a multi-platform sports newscast, La Polémica, a sports magazine with a top-notch panel of journalists and commentators. Entertainment options include the female-led talk show Liberadas, pop culture magazine Play, and the morning show Viva la Mañana. The weekend lineup consists of the game show Prendi2, Misa Dominical (Sunday Mass), some cultural and travel programs, and the docu-series Inmigrantes: El Camino Hacia un Sueño.

We are very excited to be launching ES24,” said Alan Sokol, President & CEO of Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. “As the first FAST channel of its kind, ES24 fills a significant gap in the market by providing a free, dedicated platform for news, entertainment and enriching programming that resonates with this vibrant and prominent demographic that yearns to stay connected to their country of origin.
