The free Spanish-language streaming platform Canela.TV has had a bit of a quiet start to 2023. The service added some new programming for kids from “Blippi” and “Cocomelon” in early April, but otherwise has made only small ripples in the streaming pond, no huge waves.

That is changing this week, however, with the announcement that the streamer’s parent company Canela Media is planning to add more than 2,000 hours of content to the platform in the 2023-24 TV season. The programming will include daily news offerings, original movies, telenovelas, and much more.
“Canela Studios has evolved since we first launched Canela Media and this year we are achieving a major milestone to have original productions across every single content vertical and audience segment, all with a fantastic in-house production and development team,” Canela Media CEO Isabel Rafferty Zavala said.

For the follow-up to its mighty 1999 indie hit "The Omega Code", Matthew Crouch's 8X Entertainment weighs in with "Carman: The Champion", a redemptive "Rocky" starring and co-written by the single-named Christian music superstar who occupies the title.
Corny as, uh, heck, with no shortage of weak performances and some glaring technical glitches, the inspirational picture is admittedly less preachy than your average Sunday sermon.
Given the extensive outreach capabilities at the disposal of presenter TBN Films (a division of Trinity Broadcast Network), the film should be able to spread the word to its moviegoing congregation, but it will unlikely be the boxoffice TKO that was its predecessor.
Carman, who looks a little like magician David Copperfield, plays Orlando Leone, a former cruiserweight champ who was forced to abandon his career after he refused to turn the other cheek and take a fall for the highly unscrupulous promoter Mr. Laracco (Jed Allan).
Now a security officer/preacher who runs an inner-city youth ministry, Leone is about to lose the expansion property he had planned to renovate in memory of his late father, who was killed in a traffic accident, unless he can come up with a pile of cash.
The answer presents itself when Leone is summoned to investigate an out-of-control party in a hotel suite and ends up decking the arrogant Keshon (real-life cruiserweight contender Jeremy Williams), who now is in no condition to take part in an upcoming fight.
A solution is brokered by Laracco's lackey Freddie (Michael Nouri), who also happens to be Orlando's estranged brother. Leone and Keshon will have their rematch in a boxing ring in a "Saint vs. Sinner" highly touted bout.
Will Leone go the distance and save the youth center?
Will he and his brother be brought closer together?
Will somebody say "amen"?
As the generic scripting (credited to Carman and director Lee Stanley as well as Tony Cinciripini and Tadd Callies) goes through its thoroughly predictable paces, Carman: the Actor does likewise in a blandly earnest performance.
Following his lead are Nouri and actress-singer Patricia Manterola as Carman's love interest, but at least their low-key styles are preferable to the sinister posturing of Allan's mean old Laracco.
Calling the shots, veteran TV director Stanley steers clear of any fancy footwork, much to the detriment of the seriously underchoreographed "Raging Blah" main event.
