The bicultural collection features:

  • Kids programming including La Isla del Faro and Los Happets from Vme Kids.
  • Early access to the premieres of new series before they air live, including NBC Universo’s The Riveras, a celeb-reality series, and Azteca America’s Rabia, a drama series produced in Spain.
  • Catch up on cult favorites like From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, from El Rey based on the movie by network founder, Robert Rodriguez, and Discovery en Español’s original series Texas Trocas, an original series from Discovery en Español that follows the Mendez family as they build their custom truck building empire.
  • Music videos and original music programming from Music Choice featuring the hottest Latino artists including Jencarlos Canela, Sofia Carson, Gente de Zona, Zion and Lennox, and Chino y Nacho.

“We have more content than ever as part of this promotion and are hoping to broaden the appeal of FreePass Latino to even more bicultural and multigenerational Latino families,” said Javier Garcia, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Multicultural Services for Comcast Cable. “We have it all, from an unprecedented bicultural collection of the movie content they want most and more entertainment choices in their language of preference to early access to premieres of TV shows before they air live and the latest blockbusters available in Spanish through the SAP feed.”

During FreePass Latino, Comcast’s Xfinity X1 platform will provide Latino customers an immersive bicultural viewing experience complete with an easy to navigate programming guide in their language of choice, one touch access to turn the SAP feed on or off and the ability to speak into the Voice Remote Control, which now recognizes commands in both English and Spanish. These features empower Comcast’s Latino customers to easily find and discover more of the programming that matters to them, including thousands of movies of TV episodes from STARZ, STARZ ENCORE, and STARZ ENCORE ESPAÑOL as well as rental titles from Pantelion Films available for the first time at no additional cost during FreePass Latino.

The participation by STARZ will allow customers to experience all of its English and Spanish language programming for free during the two-week event, while offering ungated access to STARZ, STARZ ENCORE, and STARZ ENCORE ESPAÑOL’s on demand features. High profile movies in Spanish from STARZ include Ant-Man, Spider-Man 3, Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Good Dinosaur, and Inside Out. Additionally, complete seasons are available of the popular STARZ Original series “Power” and “Black Sails,” as well as “Ash vs Evil Dead” leading up to its season 2 premiere on October 2, 2016.

What Policies Matter to Telco’s Success: Supply Side or Demand Side? ...

T CEO John Stankey recently said that “I’ve never seen federal policy this supportive of market-based investment in advanced networks.” That statement raises multiple interesting investor related questions about what does, and does not, support investment in advanced networks, including the relative importance of those policies that drive supply and those that drive demand, and how government is treating advanced networks versus networks that have lower cost structures but also involve lower pe...

CMCSA: The value unlock trade? Nope. No major change in fundamentals

We shared our view of Comcast’s results this morning. Results were in line and commentary on the business fundamentals were mostly unchanged. In this note following the earnings call and our follow-up conversations, we address the following key investor issues including 1) the big picture value unlock theory; 2) the newly (apparently) amended VZ MVNO agreement; 3) broadband ARPU growth; 4) Connectivity EBITDA growth; 5) 2026 capital spend; 6) wireless net adds, and 7) 2026 FCF.

CMCSA 4Q25 Quick Take: Results mostly in line; Waiting to hear what’s ...

We don’t expect any major changes to the stock price based on these results. What will drive the stock today is commentary on 1Q broadband trends and potential ‘value unlock’ from an NBCU spin.

Can CMCSA Buy CHTR After the Cox Deal is Done?

With the CHTR/Cox deal moving towards approval and CMCSA out of running for WBD, we are again getting questions as to whether CMCSA could buy the combined CHTR/Cox entity. Further, as our New Street colleagues discussed yesterday, there has been a divergence in the stock price performances of Comcast and Charter driven by a potential ‘value unlock’ resulting from a potential split of Comcast cable from NBCU. It is beyond the scope of our expertise to analyze the financial details that could jus...

CMCSA: Potential Value Unlock?

Investors have been asking about the diverging stock price performance between Comcast and Charter. We believe the reason is an expanding conversation about the potential ‘value unlock’ that could emerge were Comcast to split its cable and NBCU businesses. In this note, we estimate what Comcast could be worth were this scenario to play out. To be clear, we are skeptical. Not that it shouldn’t happen, but rather the Roberts’ are too invested in their belief about the synergy between these entitie...
