Gov. Bill Richardson Speaks to Americas Latinos in Spanish on V-me

“Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico appears for an in-depth, hour-long conversation on Viva Voz, the signature primetime program of V-me, the first Spanish-language network developed with public TV.

In the interview, scheduled to air on May 21, Richardson candidly discusses immigration reform, Iraq, the economy, international relations and his assessment of current domestic policies. The program also explores Richardson’s presidential bid, his personal story and Latino heritage, his four nominations for the Nobel Prize, and his former roles as Energy and U.N. secretaries. Internationally known, award-winning journalist Jorge Gestoso conducts the interview.

“V-me’s national reach and special audience offer a unique connection with America’s Latino community,” said Carmen DiRienzo, President of V-me. “As a new network, V-me is proud that national figures such as Governor Richardson see us as a platform to speak directly to Latinos everywhere about important issues for our country.”

Monday through Friday, Viva Voz provides thought-provoking conversations that cut across family, home, politics and entertainment, giving guests an opportunity to reveal new facets of their lives and work. The guest list spans Nobel Prize winners and Grammy Award winners, presidents and poets — from Oscar-nominated actress Adriana Barraza to Secretary General of the Organization of American States Jose Miguel Insulza; from US Representative Nydia Velázquez to New York Yankee All Star Jorge Posada; from Rosita, the Latino Muppet from Sesame Street to Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega. Viewers are encouraged to participate in the program by posting comments and responding to polls on V-me’s website, www.v-me.tv
