Telelatino, also referred to as TLN, is a Canadian Category A Specialty channel broadcasting general interest programming from Canada and around the world, primarily in Italian and Spanish. It also broadcasts English programming up to 25 percent of the time.
TLN began broadcasting in October 1984 and is a privately held company owned by Telelatino Network Inc., a consortium majority owned by Corus Entertainment along with three prominent Italian Canadian families. Telelatino headquarters are in Toronto, Ontario, but the company also operates an office in Montreal, Quebec.
Telelatino is available in nearly five million Canadian homes and is carried by all major cable systems and satellite platforms. It is Canada's most watched ethnic specialty channel. TLN operates two time shifted feeds: East (Eastern Time) and West (Pacific Time), the latter is available via Bell Fibe TV and Rogers Cable in Ontario and New Brunswick.
The network broadcasts via the Anik F1-T25 at 107.3 degrees west, on the L-Band channel at 1221.75 MHz.
Telelatino's Spanish language foreign programming comes primarily from two broadcasters: Univision and CNN en Español. The Italian language programming is derived primarily from Canale 5, a channel owned by Mediaset- Italy's leading commercial broadcaster. TLN also airs some programming from SKY TG24, a news network in Italy and Video Italia, an Italian music service. English language programming on TLN primarily features characters and stars with an Italian or Hispanic background. Such programming includes The Sopranos, Everybody Loves Raymond, George Lopez and Lopez Tonight.
