Mexicanal Network adds Austin affiliate
The Mexicanal Network, which provides Mexicans living in the United States with news, entertainment and sports programming from their hometowns, is now available to Austin residents. The channel is available digitally on KVAT-LD, Channel 17.1 (the network is available in other states and Texas markets including Dallas, San Antonio, Harlingen and Corpus Christi). In Austin, the signal is only available over-the-air through use of a digital antenna.
“As we have added each new affiliate to our stable, we have made it our mission to not only bring our viewers the best entertainment and news from throughout Mexico, but also strengthen their sense of community by keeping them connected with their hometowns and heritage,” said Mexicanal President Luis Torres-Bohl.
Mexicanal’s programming includes “MX•24 Noticias,” a daily, half-hour original newscast featuring top regional, national and international news; and “De Kiosko en Kiosko,” which explores the culture, customs and traditions of Jalisco’s different municipalities, among others. The network also produces original programs including the boxing series “Cuadrilatero” and “La Ruta de Mexico,” a series about Mexico’s traditions and regional events.
