VasalloVision was a small Spanish-language television network in the United States that catered to the Mexican audience. Most of its schedule consisted of films, lucha libre, and children's programming. The network was made up of four stations, mostly in the western part of the country.
The network started broadcasting on October 22, 2009 in Houston.[1] The aim was to emulate Ted Turner's networks, as a superstation using its vast catalog of Mexican movies, most of which never aired on US television before. For 2010, the network aimed to reach 50% of Hispanic households.[2] All its affiliates would affiliate with MundoMax upon its launch on August 13, 2012, and the network wound down operations on that same date.
