Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network, Inc. was established in 1983 as a private non-profit organization to create a network of non-commercial telecommunications facilities to advance the educational, social, cultural, and economic circumstances of Hispanics.

HITN-TV, established in 1987, is a branch of HITN and provides non-commercial Spanish language educational programming in the United States. Currently, it is carried on Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner, and Direct-TV. It remains the first and only media conduit offering educational, enriching and empowering content to our nation's fastest growing ethnic group. It is a public television network, much like the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). As per a Nielsen Media Research study, HITN-TV is positioned among the Top 10 Spanish language cable networks in the country.

The Network was founded in 1983.
