Update: Latinos in Joost land!
Voy to create a latin channel on Joost - via
hispanicwire
The VOY channels will include a variety of programming including:
- VOY Filmmaker Showcase features the best short films, music videos and commercials made by Latinos or featuring Latinos.
- LatinEyes is a magazine show highlighting Latin culture in the United States and abroad. From political, historical and entertainment figures, Latin Eyes highlights Latinos who are making an impact in the U.S. and around the world as well as products, places and events that shape the Latino experience.
- VOY to Hollywood features celebrity interviews, featurettes and behind-the-scenes news on movies and shows that interest Latinos.
- Hola America!, a news magazine focused on Latino personalities who are making an impact in the United States. Guest on the show have included: Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), Lupe Ontiveros (Desperate Housewives, Storytelling, etc), Tony Plana (Ugly Betty) Richard Riordan (Mayor of Los Angeles), Chip and Kim McAllister (Winners of Amazing Race).
- LowLos, A weekly show dedicated to Lowriders and the Lowriding culture, lifestyle.
- (IN)Pulse, A VOY original hosted weekly show on all things entertainment with a Latino twist. We take the pulse on the latest happenings in the music, film and television industry and report what's cool to Latino youth today."
