Add Sur Peru & Drop FYI

Question

You guys just added some more channels to the guide to the spanish package today many of which are all from the same country even though there must be at least 50 channels from that country. Channels 1511, 1550, and 1666 just got added where they are all from mexico where the content on there is pretty much the same as all of the other channels that you have from mexico. There are other spanish speaking countries out there besides mexico with content that you can add. Canal sur peru for example is a channel that all providers have but verizon does not where it is an all peru channel 24/7. Whether a provider has sur peru or not it is a big factor as to who many spanish speaking families decide that they will go with for their services. Some other channels that can be had are peru magico, tv venezuela, htv musica and latino america tv. If your goal is to be the number one provider of mexican channels then i think that you have succeeded. Now i know that this post will be marked as a duplicate and that i will be directed to vote for it in the ideas section of this website but before someone does that please pass on the suggestion first and realize that you will be making my point for me when you mark it as a duplicate that sur peru is the most requested channel but verizon continues to not give their customers what they want plus they are adding channels that are similar to what is already on the guide. There are a lot of people who would add you as their provider if you had canal sur peru as part of your spanish package i can guarantee you that. Another thing that you should do is drop your guide provider FYI who is so incompetent that it is a joke that you guys actually pay them to make sure that your guide is up to date. There are so many things that are wrong with the guide that it is now a game of where's waldo where you have to try to figure out things on your own by trying to guess correctly when it is that a show will be on as opposed to when the guide claims that it is on.

Well said alejozurdo. Verizon needs to add peruvian content to their spanish package not only for people in the washington dc area but for everyone who has their spanish package throughout the country. It is a motivating factor for spanish speaking people as to who they will have as their tv provider whether someone has canal sur peru and peru magico. If you google "fios sur peru" or "fios peru magico" you will see that a lot of people have gone online to see whether verizon has sur peru or peru magico before they choose a tv provider. The demographics of the country have changed where a company has to provide people with the things that they are asking for and if they do not someone else will. Verizon just sent out a huge press release where they boasted about how they are the number 1 tv provider in america of spanish programming which is odd since their content in the spanish package sure does not reflect the diversity of the spanish speaking community. Verizon has canal sur but that is not enough for people who want peruvian programming as there are only a few shows there. When comcast, cablevision, time warner and other tv providers were offered both canal sur along with canal sur peru they all jumped at the opportunity to add them because they know how huge a market/audience there is for peruvian content.
