Those behind the channel hope the effort to deliver something rather than Spanish-language programming to Hispanics will attract a lucrative demographic for advertisers." I've seen other articles with basically the same information.

Oh boy. I can't wait.

(BTW, I've also seen it used as an acronym for Singapore International Television.)

SITV is already on isn't it? I thought it signed on last week.

it has been there for about a week. not to interesting in my opinion. i did see on dish's channel listing that they have hdsports listed as tbd for launch. i don't think that will give us anything more than world sports reruns with the occasional live basketball, hockey, or maybe baseball.

I hope Si TV wasn't one of the two because I would be willing to bet that if it was, we are in for a disappointment for the second one. I bet TV Guide Channel is the other one.
