EchoStar Communications Corporation announced Monday that DISH Network will add Si TV to its "America's Top 150" programming package when the network launches this summer. Si TV is a new English-language, Latino-themed network featuring culturally relevant programming that targets the growing young Latino and multi-cultural TV audience. The company has distinguished itself as the leading producer of English-language, Latino-themed television programming with shows such as the highly rated "The Brothers Garcia," an original family comedy narrated by John Leguizamo, which will soon debut its fourth season on Nickelodeon. Among planned Si TV Network programs are first-run episodes of the talk show "Cafe Ole," the stand-up comedy showcase "Funny Is Funny!," and Si TV's annual "Latino Laugh Festival."
