GSTV Announces New Programming Slate For Hispanic Audiences
Program to build authentic short-form content experience for Spanish-speaking consumers including new content partner, kiwilimón
DETROIT, MI and MEXICO CITY, MX (July 20, 2022) – Today, GSTV, the national video network entertaining targeted audiences at scale across tens of thousands of fuel retailers, announces a new slate of content specifically curated to US Hispanic, or Spanish-speaking, audiences. The new programming includes the addition of a new content partner, kiwilimón, the largest Spanish-speaking digital food platform. The programming is expected to reach more than 10MM viewers per month and will launch in zip codes in the US that index higher with Hispanic consumers.
This new show marks the latest milestone in GSTV’s growth in the Hispanic and multicultural markets. GSTV already works with brands, such as AT&T and Advance Auto Parts, to reach scaled bilingual audiences by leveraging GSTV’s targeting capabilities. This content experience marks GSTV’s first move to curate a slate of programming for multicultural audiences. The custom programming features authentic and/or in-language Hispanic segments that span food, sports, music, education and more from authorities in Hispanic culture and Hispanic owned media companies such as kiwilimón, plus existing GSTV content partners, LaLiga and Loop Media, who joined GSTV in 2020.
“With GSTV’s national scale and targeting, rather than retrofitting general market content, we have a unique opportunity to curate entertainment specifically for millions of our Hispanic viewers,” said Violeta Ivezaj, Senior Vice President, Business Operations at GSTV. “GSTV is a strong complement to multicultural media plans, and we’re excited about the authenticity that this new show offers viewers and advertisers alike. Advertisers can organically align with GSTV’s highly desirable Hispanic audience in a contextually relevant way as they are on their consumer journey.”
The GSTV Hispanic programming slate includes:
kiwilimón - Mexico City-based, kiwilimón will produce exclusive custom content for GSTV showcasing authentic Hispanic and Latin recipes.
LaLiga - LaLiga offers exclusive segments highlighting all the action from the competition and featuring top plays, goals, and saves from the best soccer teams and players in the world.
Loop Media, Inc. - Loop Media will produce and exclusively showcase Latin artists from each week’s Top Trending Latin Music Videos.
GSTV “Word of the Day” (“Palabra del DIA”) - GSTV IGNITE Creative and Content Studio will create and produce its popular “Word of the Day” segment in Spanish language.
“Since our founding back in 2009, kiwilimón has continued to connect with food enthusiasts through everything from virtual recipe books to Amazon Alexa integrations. This partnership with GSTV marks an important step in growing our community across the U.S.,” said Philippe Brun, Chief Executive Officer at kiwilimón. “I look forward to growing our community of over 35 million by tapping into GSTV’s incredible network of fuel retailers.”
GSTV’s new Hispanic programming will appear on screens at GSTV sites that over index for Hispanics in 50+ U.S. markets starting July 20, 2002.
