ViendoMovies: Celebrating Two Decades of Spanish Cinema Excellence

Celebrating 20 Years of ViendoMovies

This September, ViendoMovies, a premium Spanish-language PayTV channel owned by SOMOSTV, marks its 20th anniversary, showcasing the best in contemporary Spanish-language cinema. As a leader in providing uninterrupted cinematic experiences, it has become a vital platform for Spanish-language films, catering to audiences in the United States and Puerto Rico.

Founded on September 5, 2006, ViendoMovies has made significant strides in enriching the entertainment landscape for the Hispanic community. The channel broadcasts a remarkable selection of films, available 24 hours a day in High Definition, highlighting original works by talented filmmakers from across the Spanish-speaking world. This not only includes popular films but also exclusive releases that set the channel apart in a crowded media market.

Over the two decades, ViendoMovies has successfully built a robust library of cinematic titles, featuring not only regular premieres but also thematic cycles focusing on specific genres or renowned actors. Such curation allows the channel to act as a showcase for new Colombian, Chilean, Peruvian, Dominican, Argentine, and Spanish cinema, complementing the extensive Mexican film offerings which resonate with the largest Latino demographic.

Moreover, ViendoMovies distinguishes itself with its commitment to accessibility, providing closed captioning in both English and Spanish. The channel also celebrates significant cultural events—broadcasting coverage of awards shows like the Oscars and Goya Awards—ensuring that viewers are engaged with the global cinema community.

Prior to ViendoMovies' inception, the visibility of Spanish-language cinema was limited, despite the rich film productions emerging from various countries. ViendoMovies has bridged this gap, effectively advocating for the appreciation and growth of these vibrant industries. Anchor of community cinema, it nurtures cultural connections by celebrating national holidays and U.S. festivities.

Luis Villanueva, President and CEO of SOMOS Group, expressed pride in reaching this milestone. He stated, "Twenty years in such a competitive and dynamic market is an achievement worthy of celebration. Our team established a position that is a source of pride for us, our clients, and our audience. Cinema is one of the entertainment options most preferred by Latinos, and with ViendoMovies we enjoy modern productions representative of a cutting-edge industry."

ViendoMovies not only signifies two decades of cinematic excellence but also coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month spanning from September 15 to October 15. Throughout this period, the channel is set to highlight productions from Mexico as a nod to Mexico's Independence Day on September 16.

In conclusion, ViendoMovies today represents not merely a channel but a critical cultural institution within the Hispanic entertainment space. As it continues its journey, it remains dedicated to providing an extensive array of high-quality films that celebrate a rich heritage and tradition within the Spanish-language film industry. A beacon for cinematic diversity, ViendoMovies is poised to entertain and inspire viewers for many more years to come.
