ABC News and Univision announced on Monday that they will team up to create an English-language cable channel for Hispanics. “Our powerful premier news brand, combined with the world’s leading Hispanic media company, will create the nation’s first news and lifestyle channel targeted to this quickly expanding and important community,” said Anne Sweeney, co-chair of Disney Media Networks and president of Disney/ABC Television Group.

Univision Networks President Cesar Conde said in the release: “This alliance combines the expertise and brand strength of Univision News with ABC News’ leadership and is another example of Univision’s commitment to serving and empowering Hispanic America while connecting all audiences to Latino issues.”

The talks were first reported in February by the Wall Street Journal.
