Did you know that there is a “public television”-like Spanish language channel available in the US? I had no idea. It is out there and it is called V-Me (a play on “ve me”, Spanish for “see me”). For some reason Austin has been sidestepped and we aren’t fortunate enough yet to get this channel on cable or over-the-air. You can, however, get it via satellite on Dish and DirecTV.
I took a look at the programming and it does look really good. About two months ago I signed up for the “latin” channel package from my local cable operator mainly because I wanted to get access to cartoons in Spanish for my kids to watch. I’ve been pretty dissappointed as the program selection that is available and age appropriate for my 5 and 3 year old kids is very limited and, to my surprise, half of the cartoons appear in English! Hopefully we will soon get V-Me here in Austin so we can get access to what appears to be pretty high quality programming – all in Spanish.
