Spectrum News adds Spanish-language coverage channel to Florida and other markets

A news network spanning 41 states has added Spanish-language programming.

Spectrum News, which has a hold in several Florida metro markets, is now offering Spanish-language programming. Spectrum Noticias, the Spanish-language news network, is now airing in the markets where Spectrum is offered on cable and streaming services.

The new Spanish-language news programming will air 24 hours a day and feature national coverage of major events, weather forecasts, and reporting on issues facing Hispanic culture, lifestyle, and heritage.

“Objective journalism is a key pillar of a democratic society and Spectrum News is at the forefront,” said Mike Bair, Executive Vice President of Spectrum Networks. “The launch of Spectrum Noticias underscores our dedication by expanding access to high-quality news programming and providing a trusted option to our Spanish-speaking viewers.”

While Spectrum Noticias will focus on national coverage, the network is already expanding its journalistic reach into some of the country’s largest markets. Spanish-language news coverage bureaus have already been opened in Los Angeles, New York City, Texas, and Florida.

“These reporters focus on news relevant to their respective markets, covering local politics, current events and stories that impact the Hispanic community. As a result, Spectrum Noticias viewers in these markets see additional local headlines every 30 minutes throughout the day,” a Spectrum press release said.

Patsi Arias will anchor much of the coverage on the new Spanish-language operations in the morning, and Philip Klint will be on the anchor desk in the afternoons.

Maria Rozman, the Senior Director who will oversee editorial content, will manage Spectrum Noticea’s coverage. She’s won five Emmy Awards and was recently News Director of Telemundo’s Spanish-language operations in Atlanta.

“In addition to our English-language networks, our launch of Spectrum Noticias brings Spectrum News’ brand of award-winning storytelling to an audience that prefers to watch their news in Spanish,” said Rozman. “With our team of journalists living in the communities we serve, we deliver reliable and balanced local, national and international news that is relevant to the Spanish-speaking community.”
