CNN Latino, launched at the start of last year initially in Los Angeles, was touted at the time as "a new brand extension that targets the growing and diverse US Hispanic market." The eight hours of daily programming included news, lifestyle, documentary, talk and debate, with a potential audience of over 14 million in southern California.
