Spanish-language public television breaks the telenovela mold

“Now airing: a digital Spanish-language TV channel with programming by the folks who bring you Sesame Street, National Geographic International, Food Network shows and “The News Hour with Jim Lehrer.”

It’s called V-me. And while the channel has been available as part of the Dish Network, it’s now been launched as a digital channel by PBS’ Seattle affiliate KCTS-TV.

“There was a time in my young life when speaking Spanish wasn’t accepted. Now it is,” said Enrique Cerna last week at a V-me launch party. Cerna, a KCTS station executive and host, grew up in Wapato.”
