LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

The expanded distribution begins Sunday, March 29, 2026, with episodes on Univision airing 9 – 10:00 AM PT/ET, Altavision at 12 – 1 PM PT/ET, and on WAPA Orlando at 12 – 1:00 PM ET. Digital distribution has also been expanded across all major streaming and social media platforms, including YouTube.

The reimagined program offers real substance on political trends and policies profoundly shaping Latino lives, jobs, and futures, with a mission to inform, empower, and mobilize Latino voters. Politics con Acento is not a conventional political show; it seeks to bridge diverse perspectives and bring Washington’s decisions closer to Latino communities.

“For millions of Hispanics living in the United States, the decisions made in Washington are deeply personal,” said Maria Martinez-Guzman, President of Entravision Media. “This show is about giving our community access, clarity, and a voice—connecting them directly with the leaders shaping their future.”

Today, Latinos in the U.S., especially Gen Z and Millennials, are becoming more aware of the need for civic participation and want to better understand how political decisions are impacting their communities. 72% of Hispanic GenZ/Millennials Registered to Vote communicate in English or both. To reach this younger, influential electorate group, the show will be bilingual to reflect not only how they naturally consume media, but their diverse perspectives.

“My passion for politics is fueled by the power it has to shape real lives, especially within the Latino community,” said Ochoa. “Politics decides who gets access, who gets heard, and who gets left out. As a journalist and immigrant voice in Washington, I feel a responsibility to make that world more accessible, to translate policy into stories that matter to our families, our jobs, and our future,” added Ochoa.

As a first look, Sunday’s Politics con Acento debut show will deliver comprehensive coverage of the nationwide “No Kings Day” protests—including on-the-ground reporting and a one-on-one with a coalition member—alongside an exclusive interview with Senator Catherine Cortez Masto about her Latino heritage and U.S. policy, Iran tensions, and key issues impacting Nevada voters. The debut episode will also feature a special report on the Nevada National Security Site debate.
