No, there is nothing like the spread of English as a second language anywhere in the world.

I don't mean SPanish as a second language, but whether there is original Spanish programming produced in Spanish-speakign coutnries available by cable or satellite in the US.

Entiendo.

I don't think there is very much available. But consider that Mexico as the largest Spanish speaking nation in the world, has such a limited output of movies. That list of top 50 movies in Mexico this year only had about 5 films on it.

11 Cásese quien pueda (Get Married If You Can) Videocine $12,710,975 2/14
25 Qué le dijiste a Dios? Videocine $5,161,905 1/17
26 El Crimen del Cácaro Gumaro Fox $4,757,098 3/14

These big hits will eventually be shown on American TV, but I don't think much of the TV makes it here. Like you said we have a pretty large number of TV hours in Spanish made in the USA.

I imagine if you buy special cable channels in Spanish, it will include more content made overseas.
