Hispanic Heritage Month on Creator TV
Creator TV—the first creator-led streaming network—has announced month-long special programming centering Latino stories and voices. Starting September 15, its FAST channel will feature Jenny Lorenzo’s “Latinos Be Like,” a comedy show celebrating Latinidad with sketches that reflect the humor and dynamics of Latino families. Lorenzo, an award-winning creator, voice actor, and producer, shares her Cuban American experience, bringing cultural authenticity and familial humor in front of and behind the camera.
Distribution and Impact
This programming is available on major FAST streaming platforms: Plex, Sling Freestream, Anoki LiveTVx, Xumo Play, and Amazon Fire TV Channels. Creator Television leverages partnerships with these distributors to expand reach for Latino and Hispanic content, demonstrating the power of creator-driven networks in amplifying diverse storytelling rooted in social media sensibilities.
Leadership and Representation
Sabio Holdings, Creator TV’s parent company, highlighted Hispanic and Latino executives driving its strategy: Andrea Aldana (Marketing Director) and Charlie Ibarra (Co-Founder, Head of Content), who reference their Mexican, Colombian, and broader Latino heritage as central to their industry mission. Their leadership ensures Latino perspectives are part of both content production and corporate decision-making, signaling a shift from token representation toward sustained, authentic inclusion in media.

Latino and Hispanic creators are at the forefront of an exploding digital and streaming creator economy in 2025, with leading figures like Jenny Lorenzo, Lele Pons, Yuya, and Ironmouse shaping how authentic stories are told across major platforms. While Creator Television®’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration is a landmark for representation, the momentum extends across the Spanish-language creator economy, driven by global content demand, professionalization, and technology trends.
