The Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network (HITN) is bringing Spanish-speaking audiences in the US the Spanish version of Click, a popular BBC programme.



Click showcases cutting-edge digital technology and platforms.

“As part of our ongoing mission to promote and present educational content, we are proud to offer our viewers the Spanish-language version of Click, an innovative series that covers new developments in digital technology and platforms,” Florentina Almonte, director of programming for HITN. “In this digital age, it is more important than ever for the public to stay up to date with the latest technological breakthroughs and trends.”

“Click’s weekly exploration of the new frontiers of technology and innovation already makes it one of the most watched and trusted technology programmes in the world. We are all delighted that our new Spanish-language editions will open up the show to many more viewers,” added Carey Clark, BBC News features editor.

The programme also will soon begin broadcasting in Uruguay, on Antel’s Vera+ platform, and in Mexico, where it will air on Sistema Público de Radiodifusion del Estado Mexicano (SPR) via the Una Voz con Todos digital TV platform.

“We are excited to be extending the reach of one of the BBC’s established brands amongst Spanish-speaking audiences, offering our technology reporting – this time with a Latino accent,” added Frederick Durman, BBC World Service head of business development, Europe and Latin America.
