Time Warner launches Hispanic programming package
Time Warner Cable has launched El Paquetazo, a Hispanic programming package that includes a basic service tier of channels (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, Telemundo and Univision, among them) as well as “English Plus” programming from networks such as Animal Planet, CMT, ESPN, ESPN2, Food Network and Travel Channel, according to Multichannel News. It also offers Music Choice, video on demand and high-definition channels.
Information about the package, which was previously made available in Los Angeles and New York City, can be found on Time Warner’s El Paquetazo site. Warning: There a short, looping clip of borderline-offensive, stereotypical mariachi music, but there’s a button you can click to turn off the sound.

Any specials for Anglos? I'm paying $53 a month. No premium channels. No HD. Hispanics will have HD plus special channels for $34. Something is mighty wrong there.

Wow, when is Time Warner coming out with a special packaging and special prices for the other 500 something heritages in the United States? I find this in itself offensive.
