• ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SLING TV announces the relaunch of Disney Star, a premier provider of popular South Asian programming.
• Disney Star's entertainment portfolio brings a wealth of popular linear and video-on-demand content to the already robust SLING South Asian offering.
• The line-up includes renowned premium channels such as Star Plus (Hindi), Vijay TV (Tamil), Asianet (Malayalam), Star Maa (Telugu), Star Jalsha (Bengali), Star Pravah (Marathi) & Star Suvarna (Kannada).
• For domestic viewers seeking access to the best of Disney Star programming and Hotstar Specials, they will need to add one of the SLING South Asian packages to their SLING subscription.

• The findings in the Report provide unique analysis into how bilingual (English and Spanish) and Spanish-only speaking Hispanics may differ from each other.
• It highlights the unique preferences among Hispanic subgroups, providing audience data to help brands deliver a more targeted, relevant message within their ads to these audiences.
• For example, within the streaming apps category, bilingual speakers are 4.5x and 3.5x as likely to have Paramount+ and Hulu on their streaming devices, respectively, and Spanish-only speakers are 2.8x as likely to have Canela.TV and 29% more likely to have FuboTV on their devices, suggesting they are more likely to pay for sports.
• For example, if a mobile app indexed for bilingual speakers at 142, this would be interpreted as, "The odds of bilingual speakers having the mobile app is 1.42x as likely as Spanish speakers," or, "The odds of bilingual speakers having the mobile app is 42% more likely than Spanish speakers."

• The result is a stunning, well-studied examination of Victorian colonial England and some of its inhabitants.
• However, Smith breathes life anew into them and through them, a portrait of Victorian England’s literary scene is painted.

Remembered

• Her relationships with her cousin William Ainsworth and his first and second wives are written with humour and heart.
• Through her, we witness the hypocrisy of her environment – the nepotism, the false friends, the pretence, the fraud.
• Smith’s description of Jamaican plantation life is nuanced and deftly crafted, and its horrors are made plain without excessive graphic detail.

Empire and connection

• The reader encounters so many characters that engage in self-deception and hypocrisy that we might question exactly who the titular fraud is.
• The novel is also, I think, about empire and connection.
• Nothing that happens in Jamaica is at all disconnected from what is happening in England.
• Towards the end of the novel, the narrator describes England as “not a real place … an elaborate alibi”.
