  • Hemisphere Media Group and Entravision Partner to Launch WAPA Orlando

    Hemisphere Media Group and Entravision Partner to Launch WAPA Orlando

    New broadcast station to bring news and entertainment programming from WAPA-TV to Orlando’s large and rapidly-growing Puerto Rican community

    MIAMI & ORLANDO, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
    Hemisphere Media Group and Entravision announced a strategic partnership to launch WAPA Orlando, a new full power broadcast television station with programming to serve the Orlando–Daytona Beach–Melbourne DMA. WAPA Orlando started broadcasting today on Entravision’s WOTF (Channel 26).

    Powered by Entravision’s local broadcasting expertise, WAPA Orlando will be carried by multichannel video programming distributors throughout the Orlando–Daytona Beach–Melbourne region and broadcast programming from WAPA-TV, Puerto Rico’s #1 TV network for 16 consecutive years. The station will be programmed for Central Florida’s Latino population, with a particular focus on the region’s large and rapidly growing Puerto Rican community. The Orlando area is now home to the second largest Puerto Rican population in the continental United States, driven by sustained population growth over the past decade.

    WAPA Orlando will take advantage of WAPA-TV’s unrivaled news and entertainment production infrastructure, which now produces 80 hours per week of original content, and will be the first station specifically serving Orlando’s Puerto Rican community. Its programming will feature news and entertainment produced in WAPA’s Puerto Rico studios, complemented by locally produced newscasts branded NotiCentro Orlando from Entravision’s award-winning news organization. The station will initially launch with two daily locally-produced newscasts—morning and midday—with plans to expand to evening and late-night editions over time.

    The partnership also establishes a collaborative news framework led by Entravision, leveraging its robust nationwide news resources from stations across 24 U.S. markets to drive expanded local news and editorial coverage for WAPA Orlando. This access to Entravision’s extensive content and resources will complement WAPA Media’s original programming and journalism, enhancing coverage of issues relevant to Latino communities locally and nationally.

    “We are excited to bring WAPA’s world class news and entertainment content and programming expertise to Orlando, which is often referred to as Puerto Rico’s ‘79th municipality’,” said Alan J. Sokol, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hemisphere Media Group. “By combining WAPA’s trusted programming and journalism with Entravision’s broadcast infrastructure and market expertise, we are creating a compelling and completely unique local service custom made for the Orlando Hispanic community.”

    “The launch of WAPA Orlando reinforces our commitment to delivering relevant, community-focused media in key Latino markets,” said Jeffery Liberman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Entravision.” This strategic collaboration leverages the complementary strengths of trusted brands to better serve our audiences, distributors, and advertisers throughout Central Florida. Our expertise in local media and news programming will be instrumental in driving WAPA Orlando’s growth, especially as we develop and manage its new standalone digital platform to connect with the Orlando Latino audience.”

    Entravision will develop and manage WAPA Orlando’s digital strategy, which includes a rollout of digital platform solutions, including a website. In addition, Entravision will fully handle the sales operations and maintain a dedicated sales team and production staff in the market. As part of its customary service to clients, Entravision will offer creative support, talent-driven integrations, and turn-key video production, alongside traditional commercial & digital buys.

    Further Reinforces Entravision’s Commitment to Nevada’s Latino Community.

    Follows Entravision’s recent investment that more than doubled local news programming in the U.S.

    SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
    Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE: EVC), a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company, proudly announced the opening of its new state-of-the-art news facility in Las Vegas. This milestone underscores the Company’s three decade commitment of empowering the Latino community through trusted news and resources.

    Latinos account for 30% of the state’s population making Nevada a pivotal market for Entravision in its mission to amplify Latino voices.[1]

    “The inauguration of the Las Vegas news facility marks a significant achievement accompanied by the recruitment of nearly 40 incredibly talented individuals, further bolstering our teams,” said Jeffery Liberman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Entravision. “As a civically engaged community, Latinos transcend partisan lines, with 43% of voters identifying as independent or other in both Las Vegas and the state[3]. Failing to engage with Latinos overlooks a crucial and decisive political group in this year’s election.”

    With Latinos constituting 22% of the electorate in Nevada[2], Entravision’s expansion in Las Vegas, Reno, and Carson City carries profound significance particularly this critical election year.

    United States Senator Jacky Rosen, United States Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Nevada Lt Governor Stavros Anthony, and Peter Guzman from the Latin Chamber of Commerce Nevada expressed their support at the event.

    “Entravision has the important responsibility of keeping Nevada’s Latino community informed about what is happening in our state,” said Senator Rosen. “I was proud to join Entravision to celebrate the ribbon cutting of their new studio in Las Vegas, and to honor the critical work they do to keep Nevadans engaged in their communities every day.”

    “If you are running for elected office and not investing in the Hispanic media, you won’t win and if you are a Small Business and not investing in the Hispanic media, you are not growing, that is why I am here for this incredible celebration of Entravision’s investment into our community,” said Peter Guzman, President of the Latin Chamber of Commerce.

    Entravision’s locally produced “Noticias Nevada” ranks number one in Las Vegas, regardless of language[4]. In addition to its early evening and late news, Entravision added morning, midday, and weekend newscasts. With additional news programming and expanded news staff, “Noticias Nevada” is the information lifeline to the Latino community.
