Home Shopping Latino Uses Turn-Key Software Program to Keep Viewers Fully Informed of Complete Product Offerings

The Program Also Tracks and Monitors Product for the On-Air Producers so Inventory Is Constantly Live

MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - June 27, 2007) - Home Shopping Latino, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HSPL), a Spanish TV network that, when launched, will cover North America and Puerto Rico, today announced that they had selected a turnkey backbone software program to support every facet of their Home Shopping Channel and Online Web site, ensuring the customer has the best quality experience possible. The completely integrated system will allow their business to grow while their IT costs stay constant.

The system has been successfully proven for over 12 years. The software program will keep HSL's viewers informed with a 24-hour TV Guide, allowing customers the ultimate sales experience by providing detailed information on the products they wish to purchase. The agreement includes a minimum one year on-site consulting feature to ensure complete integration. "This component of the business is probably the most important element in tracking sales and inventory in real time. The on-air producer will be able to determine that we have sold out of an item and then move on to the next product," said Scott Sedlack, the VP of IT.

"The secret is to grow the business without growing the cost base," says Frank Celecia, CEO at HSL, "and for us, the key to keeping the cost base fixed is IT. Our IT platform generates efficiencies in the warehouse, the call center, the way we order product, the way we analyze past sales and project future sales. At a most fundamental level, our IT platform manages our customer base and enables us to give the customer top quality service -- and thereby maximize sales and lower returns. We are confident this software will accomplish that."

Home Shopping Latino, Inc. and Viva TeleCompras will share the airwaves with such big names as HBO, National Geographic and Cinemax, and will be delivering their message through real-time broadcasts, an interactive web site experience, and co-ventures with cell phone companies.
