Panorama Italiano, on DISH Network, offers a full plate of options for your family.
“Less is more!” How many times have you heard this expression? I guess plenty, and in most cases it means that sometimes a little less is better than a little more. Well, nowadays, with the financial crisis that has been affecting American families, what the consumer is looking for is the opposite. If we take a
look at what the cable and satellite television industry is offering to its consumers, we must agree that DISH Network is definitely looking out for the American families, providing exactly what it is needed: more for less! More channels than its competitors and less money out of our pocket. But where DISH Network really outshines the competition is its offer to the Italian market. DISH Network provides the largest variety of Italian programming at the lowest price on the market. “When I moved to New Jersey I felt like a fish out of water,” says Anna Badia, a resident of Jersey City. “I missed my family, my friends and my culture. It was not easy to adjust to the American life style. I must say that watching the RAI programs on DISH Network has been a great deal of help. I felt closer to my country and I have been able to keep up with what has happened in Italy over the last few years. And now besides RAI, DISH Network offers Mediaset Italia! This is best Italian package available on the market.”
Currently, DISH Network offers the Italian consumer seven channels from Italy: Radio Italia, Radio Italia Anni 60, Rai News 24, Raitalia, Raitalia Radio, Video Italia and also Euronews (in English). DISH Network has brought to its Italian customers Mediaset Italia, the new channel offering the best programming of Canale 5, Italia 1 and Rete 4 channels. The programming schedule provides all the key primetime Mediaset programs and the best of its general entertainment, series A soccer, fiction, fun and news. Now the Italian consumer who lives in the U.S. can enjoy the same great TV viewing experience offered in Italy through Panorama Italiano, the exclusive Italian TV package offered by DISH Network. Mediaset offers a variety of exclusive programming including “Il Grande Fratello,” the Italian version of “The Big Brother,” and one of highest-rated TV shows in Italy; “Amici,” the talent show hosted by Maria De Filippi, where 20 carefully selected students between ages 18 and 25 aspire to become dancers or singers; “Le Iene,” a satirical talk show that investigates on some of the most controversial subjects emerging from the news; “Matrix,” an in-depth talk show that deals with important topics from politics to news;“ “FORUM,” Mediaset’s longest-running program, during which people try to resolve their disputes in court over matters relating to condominiums and traffic accidents as well as more complicated family problems. Customers who subscribe to Panorama Italiano, priced at $19.99 per month, also have access to DISH Network‘s award-winning DVR technology, which allows customers to record hundreds of hours of their favorite shows, plus free professional installation for up to six televisions. Once again, more for less! “I love keeping in touch with my Italian roots. Now, thanks to Panorama Italiano and DISH Network, I can get the best for less,” says Fabio Consorte, a father of three living in Brooklyn. “To me, Italian programming is fundamental. Not only because I enjoy it, but also because gives me the opportunity to expose my children to the Italian culture and the Italian language. For my kids who are studying Italian at school, Panorama Italiano is a great way to reinforce their learning.”
