DTV America is an owner of low-power television stations in the United States. These stations carry programming from the English-language networks Antenna TV, DrTV, MyNetworkTV, and Soul of the South Network, and Spanish-language networks Estrella TV and Telemundo.[2] As of 2014, DTV America held licenses in 80 television markets.[3] Station licenses are held under multiple companies, including DTV America Corporation, DTV America 1, LLC,[4] and DTV America II, LLC.[5]
DTV America claims, as its official address, a suite in Sunrise, Florida; the address is actually a private mailbox at a UPS Store.[6] As of 2015, the chief executive officer is John Kyle II.[7] He and fellow DTV America executive Bert Garriga also run DTVCast, a company that provides Internet bandwidth over digital television broadcasting signals.[8][9]
History
In the early 2010s, DTV America secured programming agreements with several networks around the country for quality programming. DTV America owned and/or operated stations are currently or soon to be affiliated with either Antenna TV, Soul of the South TV, Telemundo, Estrella TV, or Doctor TV. Doctor TV is the newest network that offers programming devoted to healthy living, featuring fitness shows, healthy cooking shows, and lifestyle programming. Several of DTV America’s stations carry Doctor TV on a digital subchannel, but some on their main channel. MyNetworkTV is also being offered by several DTV America-owned stations as secondary affiliations with programming with another network surrounding MyNet’s primetime programming.[10]
To date, DTV America is the largest group of Doctor TV affiliates when that channel was initially launched in 2014, whether it be on the main channel or a digital subchannel on a given station DTV America owns and/or operates.[11] [12]
In December 2014, DTV America gained rights to launch MundoFox affiliates in select markets.
