ViendoMovies is an American Spanish-language pay television film channel, distributed in High Definition and available in cable television, Telcos and satellite television companies. The channel is owned by SomosTV, company headed by Luis Villanueva (President & CEO of SOMOS Group). ViendoMovies runs 24-hours a day featuring movies originally produced in Spanish in a commercial free format (without television advertisement). ViendoMovies' programming reaches subscribers in the United States and Puerto Rico.[1]
In 2006 SomosTV, a Pay TV entertainment company based in Miami, Fl announced the launch of ViendoMovies, then under the name VeneMovies.[1] ViendoMovies was created based on the Hispanic market's affinity for Spanish language films. U.S. Hispanics are avid consumers of films. According to Hispanics Business Magazine, Hispanics eagerly attend film openings, accounting for over 17% of tickets sold, and watch more movies (DVDs, Blu-ray, and Digital Streaming) per year than any other segment of the U.S. population.[2] On July 4, 2011, VeneMovies was renamed ViendoMovies.
