The 24-hour Spanish language network, which has already hit 23 markets in the U.S., offers a little bit of everything, organized into four areas – kids, lifestyle, factual and movies, plus specials.
But while this is great news for some, a Washington Post article points out that V-me has some issues with reach: "V-me is not available to Comcast cable subscribers in Montgomery and Prince George's counties -- home to the vast majority of Latinos in the state -- or to cable subscribers in the District or Northern Virginia." The problem is that Comcast limits digital TV to one public station signal per area, and Montgomery and Prince George already have WETA, which decided not to carry the new channel. So as the article also points out, despite having its heart in the right place, "at the moment, in most of this market, V-me is difficult to see at all." Want to see if V-me is offered in your area? Check on their official web site.
