Created more than 8 years ago as SíTV, the first English-language television network for American Latinos, the network was rebranded in July of 2011 to nuvoTV.
This summer, nuvoTV debuted “Fight Factory,” a one-hour docu-series taking a look inside the world of top Latino MMA fighters and recently produced the special “We Decide: Latinos and the 2012 Election.” The network is scheduled to premiere three more new programs this Fall: “Mario Lopez One-on-One,” “The 7 of Clubs” and “Curvy Girls.”
