Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. has reached a multi-year agreement with DISH Network to restore Puerto Rico’s highest-rated broadcast network WAPA Televisión, and U.S. cable network WAPA América, to its service.
The two companies reached agreement after lengthy negotiations since the networks went dark on Thursday, October 24, 2019.
Distribution of WAPA Television and WAPA Deportes was restored on December 16, 2019, and the distribution of WAPA America will resume in January.
In addition, DISH has entered into a multi-year renewal to distribute CentroAméricaTV on DishLATINO in the U.S.
“We are deeply grateful to our viewers for their loyalty and support during our time off-air, and are pleased to have reached an agreement with DISH, allowing our loyal audience to once again enjoy the news, entertainment, and sports from the #1 television network in Puerto Rico. We are also pleased that DISH will continue to distribute CentroAméricaTV, reflecting the importance and value of these networks to Hispanics living in the U.S.,” said Alan Sokol, president, and CEO of Hemisphere Media Group, Inc., WAPA’s parent company.
