HCN Global-La Red Hispana, the largest independent producer of educational and informational content for Spanish-language radio, print, and digital platforms in the United States, has announced the expansion of its flagship program, Bienvenidos a América, to ViX and Univisión Puerto Rico-WSTE Channel 7. The program, which has been on the air since 1997, will now reach audiences through these major streaming and television platforms, in addition to its existing network of more than 80 radio and television affiliates across the country.
This expansion is significant because it ensures that one of the longest-running Spanish-language programs dedicated to serving Hispanic immigrants will continue to evolve and meet audiences on the platforms they use most. By joining ViX, a leading Spanish-language streaming service, and Univision Puerto Rico, Bienvenidos a América will be able to reach younger audiences and those who increasingly consume news and information via streaming and digital video.
Jeff Kline, President and Founder of HCN Global-La Red Hispana, emphasized the program's enduring legacy: “Bienvenidos a América has not only made history — it continues to make history. After 29 years of uninterrupted broadcasting, its arrival on ViX and Univision Puerto Rico marks another major milestone for HCN Global-La Red Hispana and demonstrates the enduring strength of a program that continues to earn the trust of generations of Latinos across the United States.”
The program's mission has always been to help Hispanic immigrants understand the issues that directly affect their lives and communities. Immigration has been at the heart of its editorial focus, with coverage ranging from changes in immigration laws and policies to citizenship, naturalization, visas, deportations, and other critical topics. In addition, Bienvenidos a América addresses health, education, civic engagement, financial literacy, and community empowerment.
Hosted by journalist José López Zamorano, the program regularly features immigration attorneys, policy experts, and other specialists who break down complex developments and answer questions from listeners and viewers. This direct engagement has made it a trusted source of information for millions.
Alison Rodden, CEO of HCN Global-La Red Hispana, noted, “This growth reaffirms HCN Global-La Red Hispana’s commitment to delivering high-quality, culturally relevant content to Hispanic audiences wherever they are and on the platforms they use every day.”
In recent years, the program has undergone a digital transformation, expanding from traditional radio to podcasts, live streaming, social media, television, digital video, and on-demand content. Its presence on ViX and Univision Puerto Rico further solidifies its multiplatform strategy. Viewers can watch the show on ViX by searching “Bienvenidos a América” in the ViX app or web platform.
The expansion is a testament to the program's adaptability and its unwavering commitment to serving the Hispanic community. Nearly three decades after its first broadcast, Bienvenidos a América continues to provide practical, trustworthy information and a platform where the voices and concerns of Hispanic communities are heard. As the media landscape continues to shift, this move ensures that the program remains a vital resource for generations to come.
