HCN Global-La Red Hispana, the largest independent producer of educational and informational content for Spanish-language radio, print and digital platforms in the United States, announced the expansion of its flagship program, Bienvenidos a América, to ViX and Univisión Puerto Rico-WSTE Channel 7. The program, which launched in 1997, now joins more than 80 radio and television affiliates across the United States, solidifying its position as one of the longest-running Spanish-language programs dedicated to serving Hispanic immigrants.
This expansion matters because it ensures that critical information about immigration, health, education, and civic engagement reaches audiences on the platforms they use most. As immigration policies continue to shift and affect millions of families, having a trusted, culturally relevant source on mainstream streaming and broadcast channels is essential. The move also signals the enduring relevance of a program that has adapted to changing media consumption habits without abandoning its core mission.
“Bienvenidos a América has not only made history — it continues to make history. After 29 years of uninterrupted broadcasting, its arrival on ViX and Univision Puerto Rico marks another major milestone for HCN Global-La Red Hispana and demonstrates the enduring strength of a program that continues to earn the trust of generations of Latinos across the United States,” said Jeff Kline, President and Founder of HCN Global-La Red Hispana.
The expansion represents a natural evolution for a show that began on radio nearly three decades ago. Over the years, it has grown to include podcasts, live streaming, social media, television, digital video, and on-demand content. By entering the ViX and Univision Puerto Rico-WSTE Channel 7 ecosystem, Bienvenidos a América will now reach younger audiences and consumers who increasingly turn to streaming and digital platforms for news and community-focused content.
“This growth reaffirms HCN Global-La Red Hispana’s commitment to delivering high-quality, culturally relevant content to Hispanic audiences wherever they are and on the platforms they use every day,” said Alison Rodden, CEO of HCN Global-La Red Hispana.
Hosted by journalist José López Zamorano, the program regularly features immigration attorneys, policy experts, and other specialists who break down complex developments and answer questions directly from listeners and viewers. Immigration has long been at the heart of its editorial mission, with coverage ranging from changes in immigration laws and policies to citizenship, naturalization, visas, and deportations. The program also addresses health, education, financial literacy, and community empowerment.
Viewers can watch the show on ViX by searching “Bienvenidos a América” in the ViX app or web platform. The program’s digital transformation has significantly expanded its original role as a trusted connection to the community. Nearly three decades after its first broadcast, Bienvenidos a América continues to evolve while remaining anchored in its mission to make complex issues easier to understand and to amplify the voices of Hispanic communities.
