V-me Media

V-me (pronounced veh-meh, Spanish for “see me") is a public television network in the United States, broadcasting only in Spanish. The 24-hour digital broadcast service was launched on March 5, 2007, and is currently available in over 70% of all U.S. homes where Spanish is spoken. It is the first venture of the media production and distribution company, V-me Media Inc. It is a public-private partnership forged between the Educational Broadcasting Corporation (the parent of the New York public station and PBS flagship WNET), the investment firm the Baeza Group, and the venture capital firm Syncom Funds. Educational Broadcasting is a minority partner in the for-profit venture. In October 2009, Spanish media company PRISA acquired a 12% stake in V-me, with intentions of eventually acquiring a majority stake in the company.
