Regarding the U.S. Hispanic market, Robbins commented: “Innovation and choice… that is what will allow marketers to more effectively reach the new Latino consumer. The new audiences we are targeting are clearly more demanding. Our affiliation with MundoFOX will enable us to engage Latino viewers in a new and exciting way and will continue the legacy of providing quality television programming for the South Texas Coastal Bend.”
