Miami, FL--(HISPANIC PR WIRE)--December 11, 2006--The TV channel SUR México is celebrating its first year on the air, thanks to the warm welcome of the Mexican audience in the United States. SUR México is broadcasted via satellite on DIRECTV on channel 420 and has almost a million subscribers.
SUR México was created to meet the needs of regional television for Mexican immigrants. This growing audience looks for daily information on their native countries to keep in touch with their origins. This is how SUR México started retransmitting unedited and uncut programs that are produced locally from eight states of the Mexican Republic.
Programming from more states has been added during this first year, always following the immigration patterns, and the channel now offers programs from fourteen Mexican states: Campeche, Colima, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Durango, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Puebla, Quintana Roo, Sonora, Tabasco, Veracruz and Yucatán. The channel mainly broadcast local news, music, sports, entertainment, and children's programming.
“The key to the channel's success is its variety,” says Silvia Merino, SUR México's VP of Programming. “We would like to thank our viewers for choosing us and hope this is the first year of many to come.”
Complementing the communication with its viewers, SUR México has developed an opinion system through its web page http://www.canalsur.com, inviting the audience to sign up and speak their minds about the programming. This space has also helped Mexicans to communicate with their families back home by sending greetings and messages through their favorite shows.
