LAT TV is headed by Patricia Torres-Burd and her team, consisting of Roxana Sibrian, Frida Villalobos and Ana Bzdusek.

LAT TV offers a wide variety of programming from Mexico, Latin America, Europe and the United States to serve a diverse Hispanic market. The schedule includes telenovelas, sports, comedy, and children's programming. A half-hour network news program, Noticias LAT TV, airs each night. Weekday mornings include a block of public-service programs. Friday nights feature boxing matches, and the afternoon children's programming block includes Topo Gigio, a show that has been popular in the Latino community since the 1960s.
