Adelante! is a weekly, locally produced series celebrating the rich heritage of Latino people. The program airs in Spanish with open captioning (subtitles) in English. Program segments originally taped in English are captioned in Spanish.

Each episode explores the culture and concerns of the fastest growing community in southeastern Wisconsin. ¡Adelante! means "forward" in Spanish. The program looks at change and progress, highlighting the contributions of Latino individuals and organizations to the community. The series also discusses a variety of issues with experts who can speak to the needs of the Latino population. It is a valuable source of timely information for an underserved audience.

"Viewers may interpret the program's title as ’Latinos moving ahead with the times,'" said Rosa Dominguez, chairman of the ¡Adelante! advisory panel. "We see the program focusing on change, progress, and future movement for Latino people."
