Nuevo Mundo Televisión (NMTV) was a Canadian Category B Spanish language specialty channel owned by NMTV Inc. Nuevo Mundo Televisión broadcast general entertainment and lifestyle programming including news, television dramas, talk shows, and music.
In April 2005, Claire Bourgeois, a co-founder of NMTV, was granted approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called NuevoMundo Television (NMTV), described as being "wholly devoted to reflecting the lifestyles and the needs of the Hispanic community of Canada, including programming dedicated to youth."[1]
The channel launched on March 13, 2007 as Nuevo Mundo Televisión[2] initially on Vidéotron, later expanding to other television service providers. It was billed as Canada's first all-Spanish language television channel. It is available on Bell Fibe TV and was previously available on Rogers Cable.
In October 2012, the channel re-launched with a new look and new programming. In addition, a partnership was announced with US-based Spanish channel SOiTV, the agreement includes the acquisition of programming from SOiTV.[3]
