LOS ANGELES, July 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LATV announces the double nomination of its sister programs American Latino TV and LatiNation, each nominated in the Best National Informational Program Category for the 26th Annual Imagen Awards. The Imagen Foundation is the, Latino non-profit organization which promotes and honors positive portrayals of Latinos and Latino cultures in entertainment.

"I can't tell you how excited and proud I am that we were nominated for not one, but two Imagen Awards this season," said David Morales, Vice President Sales & Distribution of American Latino Syndication. "For the first time in a long time, American Latino and LatiNation have been nominated in the same category for Best National Informational Program. To receive a double nomination in the 9th and 7th seasons of these shows, it feels great!"

Not wavering in its commitment to offer quality programming to its bilingual and bicultural 18-49 viewer demographic, the sister programs are produced by American Latino Syndication, a division of LATV Networks, the national bilingual entertainment network. The award-winning nationally syndicated programs air in tandem in more than 90 cities across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, including parts of Canada bordering the U.S.

This recognition serves as a second consecutive nomination in the same category and fifth nomination overall, with three wins in 2003, 2004 and 2005 for American Latino TV, a weekly cultural lifestyle program that set the standard for highlighting American Latino culture through entertainment, the arts and sciences, and education and sports.

"It's been a long time coming for LatiNation to get the recognition it deserves," said Eyal Shemtov, Executive Producer, about the English-language program that takes an entertaining look at the impact of U.S. Latino culture in everything from underground artists, music, fashion, and the experiences of being a young 2nd or 3rd generation Latino. "Both shows have progressed so much in the past year that 2012 is going to be a big year for American Latino Syndication, so be on the lookout for more good news from us."

"As American Latino approaches a decade of national presence on-air, the U.S. Hispanic community can take pride in what this accomplishment represents," said David Morales, LATV Vice President of Sales & Distribution. "The show's popularity has passed the test of time and, together with LatiNation, it has proven that positive and uplifting portrayals of Latinos on national television are a win-win for broadcasters, advertisers and the viewing public."

American Latino's record 9th season will premiere in 100 markets, representing over 85 % of Hispanic homes and 75 million total TV homes. LatiNation, in its 7th season, will be seen in 86 markets, reaching over 82 % of Hispanic homes and 65 million total homes. Both shows target the rapidly growing English speaking U.S.-born Hispanic market.

"Despite a distribution environment that has remained challenging due to the slow recovery of the economy, our shows have retained their relevance and remain in high demand as the preferred vehicle for marketers to reach second- and later-generation Latinos in this country," Morales said.

In its upcoming season, LatiNation will feature a dynamic new host, Alexis de la Rocha , who will join New York-based host Jose Mangin, a fixture on the show since it launched seven years ago. American Latino will continue to be headlined by its popular young host, Valery Ortiz, who begins her second year after taking over from previous host, Daisy Fuentes.

The historic eighth season of the nationally syndicated half-hour weekly begins airing the first weekend of October.

"Last Spring we shot a segment for the show with Daisy telling the story of her inspirational transition from starlet to businesswoman, and I think we both just realized that she was a perfect fit," said David Morales, Executive Producer of both "American Latino" and its companion show "LatiNation." "Daisy is proud to be an American Latina and the shows have always been about the extraordinary accomplishments of people in our community."

American Latino, the original "in-culture" English-language TV show targeted to U.S.-born Latinos (over 60 percent of all U.S. Latinos), is seen in over 100 cities, representing over 81 million homes. The show is broadcast to over 92 percent of Hispanic TV homes, making it second only to Spanish-language television giant Univision Network for distribution of Hispanic-targeted TV programming.

"I've always been a fan of American Latino because I relate to the people that are featured and feel inspired by the stories they share," said Daisy Fuentes. "My culture is a huge part of who I am, and the show captures this perspective in a very entertaining way, week after week."

Daisy will co-executive produce the magazine-format program, which will add to an impressive portfolio of accomplishments over her career. She became a TV star when MTV signed her as a VJ in the US and Latin America. She was the first Latina to sign a worldwide contract with Revlon, and now Daisy Fuentes is an American brand which includes an empire of quality products like sportswear, fragrances and bedding as well as the new Daisy Fuentes Pilates for Nintendo's popular Wii Fit. She's been on countless beauty and fashion magazine covers, the latest being the cover of Latina magazine's August 2009 edition.
