"We are excited to expand out channel offerings by bringing more Spanish-language programming to the growing Hispanic community in Southern Nevada," Steve Schorr, vice president of public and government affairs for Cox Communications, said in a press release. "This new channel directly reflects the expanding interests and needs of our diverse Southern Nevada community."

The Greenspun family, owner of the Las Vegas Sun, is a minority owner of the Cox system in Las Vegas.
