To honor Hispanic Heritage Month, Comcast is offering thousands of hours of programming and a unique virtual experience that will provide families and individuals of all ages with the opportunity to learn about Hispanic culture and traditions, celebrate this special community, and share their stories with others.

"2020 has been a year defined by our nation's drive to overcome adversity with a relentless spirit of struggle, what is colloquially known in the Hispanic community as echando pa'lante (moving forward)," said Jose Velez Silva, vice president of multicultural marketing for Comcast. "The activities we have planned for Hispanic Heritage Month will provide a space to highlight Latino culture, and celebrate stories of resilience and achievement while allowing customers to share their own stories with their voices."
Xfinity TV's Hispanic Heritage Month Collections
For this year's Hispanic Heritage Month, Comcast has selected content that tells the stories of those who have echado pa’lante (moved forward), forging a path for future generations. It highlights the origins, history, and achievements of the Hispanic community and celebrates both the legends and the new voices of inspiration. Some of the highlighted collections include pioneers and revolutionaries, immigration stories, innovative filmmakers, music legends, Afro-Latino and Afro-Taino pride, Oscar winners, Emmy winners, and more. All content can be found within the Xfinity On Demand Latino destination or by simply saying "Latino" on the Xfinity Voice bilingual remote control.

Why do we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month?

27 years old. That's the average age of the Hispanic population living in the United States. We're talking about ten years less than the average age of the general population. These numbers, seen in perspective, are not insignificant.

At the age of 27, many people are building a working future. Some have finished their university studies, and not a few are beginning some academic postgraduate studies, all with the aim of having a better future. Yes, at 27 we have all learned many things -- yet we still have our whole lives ahead of us. Above all, we are young, strong, and determined. That, and no other, is the future of Hispanics in the United States.
