No Sabado Gigantes Here – V-me

“Spanish-language television channel V-me, a national network that has partnered with PBS to “entertain and educate America’s Latino families in Spanish,” began airing on digital cable stations earlier this month.

Posturing itself as the anti-Univision, V-me celebrated its Miami launch with a party at Coconut Grove’s Cielo Garden and Supper Club last night. The chic crowd ”” cocktail dresses, suits, one adventurous woman wearing a rabbit-fur pageboy cap ”” seemed very un-PBS. No sweater vests, tweed, or pleated khaki pants were in evidence among the attendees, who listened to the Spam All-Stars, sipped martinis, and ate croquetas to celebrate the arrival of “Plaza Sesamo” on cable channels everywhere. The Spanish version of “Sesame Street” has been on the air in Latin America for more than 30 years.”
