WSU Tri-Cities has teamed up with Seattle TV channel KCTS to create a Spanish language channel called V-me. V-me is intended to help children be ready to begin school and there will also be shows for adults. Tri-City Citizen explains the channel this way:

“V-me's programming targets learners of all ages, and makes an especially strong commitment to families and young children. It features over 40 hours a week of acclaimed educational programs for kids including "Plaza Sesamo" (Sesame Street), "Jim de la Luna" and "LazyTown," and programs for adults who work with young children such as "Los Niños en su Casa." These research-based programs help ensure children are ready for school and strengthen literacy and language skills. Beyond the children's schedule, V-me is establishing its reputation for first-rate coverage of current affairs. It was the first national Spanish-language network to commit to simultaneously translated, live presentation of this fall's presidential debates.”

Furthermore John Fraire, WSU’s Vice President for Enrolling Management, says, "V-me broadcasts wonderful programming, but offers even more with local production that speaks to Northwest Latinos and a commitment to early learning, V-me transcends the airwaves to connect with our communities. It encourages families to engage in learning together."
