Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc.

On May 3, “Maruja” (1959), the first great box-office success of Puerto Rican cinema, will premier. The film is about a sensual and beautiful woman who draws the lust of various men, but eventually faces tragic results. Despite having a Spanish screenwriter and an Argentinean director, the Puerto Rican roots of “Maruja” are easily distinguishable. The movie is set in location similar to that of Bayam�n Puerto Rico’s second most populated island, and stars Axel Anderson, Victor Arrillaga, Elena Montalban, Roberto Rivera Negr�n, Mario Pabon, Manuel Perez Durand, and Marta Romero.

“Linda Sara” (1994), which was directed by Jacobo Moral and stars Chayanne, Dayanara Torres and Adamari Lopez, will premier on May 10 and be the second film of the month. The story centers on Sara and Jos� who work in the sugar industry and enjoy happy times until they are faced with a crippling financial crisis. The film is a moving story about a family whose transcendent love helps them face the risk of losing their most valued possession: a house filled with relics and memories in which they’ve lived since the children. The story takes an unexpected turn, however, when a new development brings the characters into conflict with one another.

“El Mar no Perdona” (”The Sea Does Not Forgive”), a story about people moving to another city in order to make a better life for themselves and their families, will premier on May 17. The movie was directed by Vicente Fort and stars Alexandra Malag�n, Walter Rodriguez, Miguel Ramos, Martita Mart�nez, Maribel Qui�ones, Xiomara Rodriguez, Cesar Paredes and N�stor Rodriguez.

“La �ltima Noche” (”The Last Night”), a story of tragic love, will air on May 24. The film is about the love that Roberto and Julian develop for one another during a time that is filled with hatred and a rivalry between two groups caused by a lack of understanding and communication. It is a gripping movie filled with action, reggaeton music, dancing, amazing special effects and great drama. Filmed in Autonomous City Hall of Caguas, the movie stars singer, Tito El Bambino, Christie Mir�, Junior �lvarez, Jerry Segarra, Maribel Qui��nez, and features the return of TV star, Amalia Cross, the dramatic debut of reggaeton singer, Glori, and Naldo, a producer of reggaeton.

“El Pan Nuestro” (”Our Bread”) will be the last movie in the series to premier and will air on May 31. It is the history of Maribel Rovira, an elite woman who decides to adopt a black boy, and Laura Martell, a black middle-class woman who wants to have a son and decides to do so through artificial fertilization. The movie takes a surprising twist for her, when she is accidentally impregnated with the sperm of a white male. As a result, discrimination, social and racial prejudice, the youth’s rebellion and maternal love all form the heart of an audacious and amusing plot. Directed by Vicente Castro, the cast includes Noelia, Clarissa Chapuseaux, Luis Gonzoaga, Juan Carlos Betancourt and Luz Odilea Font.

Do not miss this extraordinary line up of classic Puerto Rican movies from Mega Cine, every Saturday in May starting at 8:00 PM ET on Mega TV Channel 22 in Miami, at 9:00 PM PT on Channel 405 DirecTV M�s in the rest of the United States, and at 9:00 PM on Channel 169 of DirecTV in Puerto Rico.”

The series, which airs in September, will feature Latino superstar Chayanne in the title role. DirecTV Más has also signed on as a co-producer of this ground-breaking project. “*

Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (SBS) (NASDAQ: SBSA) announced today that it had hosted its first network “Upfront” presentation for MEGA TV. At the event, which was held in New York City, Company executives announced that Mega TV had entered into a programming distribution agreement with a new major market affiliate serving Puerto Rico. In addition, the Company unveiled its new programming initiatives, featuring original proprietary content produced by its recently-inaugurated Megafilms subsidiary, which will supplement the high quality fare currently airing on MEGA TV.

MEGA TV announced that it had entered into a new retransmission agreement with WSJU (Channel 30) in Puerto Rico to broadcast MEGA TV’s award-winning programming. Under the terms of the agreement, Puerto Rico television viewers will soon be able to enjoy daily programs such as “Esta Noche T� Night,” with Alexis Vald�s, “Bayly,” “Maria Elvira Live,” “Paparazzi,” “Ra�ces y Recuerdos,” “El C�rculo,” “Mega News,” and many others.

In addition, Mega TV showcased other upcoming programming developments including “La Descarga”, a new Sunday night musical jam session featuring Grammy award winner Albita, as well as its new female-targeted afternoon offering, “Las Divas de la Tarde”, scheduled to debut in 2009. Mega TV also announced the expansion of its nightly news program “Mega News”, by joining forces with News Corporation as an affiliate of the Fox News Edge Service.

“Mega has had unprecedented growth, tripling its key demos in the last year and expanding the programming with high-quality productions and nationally recognized Latino talent. Our upfront line-up confirms that we are the network to watch in the Hispanic TV Market”, stated Cynthia Hudson, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of SBS.

According to the Nielsen Hispanic Station Index, which provides ratings data on the top 19 Hispanic markets in the United States, MEGA TV will now reach over 2.5 million Hispanic Households in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

In addition its over-the-air coverage, Mega TV’s new affiliate has significant cable and satellite penetration in Puerto Rico. WSJU is a full-power television facility in San Juan that is carried on all of the cable and satellite providers, including Liberty, Choice, One Link and Dish, throughout Puerto Rico. In addition, Mega TV will continue its island-wide, 24 hour service via DirectTV.

SBS and MEGA TV executives also announced the inauguration of Megafilms, the new entertainment division that will produce exclusive Spanish-language filmed content for MEGA TV. Company executives were accompanied by Latino superstar Chayanne, who plays the title role in the upcoming Mega TV miniseries, “Gabriel”, and who was on hand to host the evening’s festivities. The Megafilms project will include the production of feature films, music specials, miniseries, soap operas, documentaries and other types of filmed entertainment that will be available for local and international theatrical release as well as broadcast, cable and satellite syndication and home video distribution.

“Megafilms allows us to expand our horizons, explore multiple revenue models and broaden our content with high-quality dramatic offerings that enhance our overall programming line-up, facilitating the exploitation of our multimedia platforms as a springboard for growth”, stated Raul Alarcon, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SBS.

The event was attended by numerous media celebrities representing a cross-section of today’s top TV and radio personalities, including recognized news journalist Mar�a Elvira Salazar, Alexis Vald�s, the Cuban talk show host and actor, and the stars of “El Vacil�n de la Ma�ana,” the number one New York morning show which airs daily on SBS radio station Mega 97.9 (WSKQ-FM).

Along with its flagship owned and operated television station in Miami and its broadcast, production and uplink facilities due to be inaugurated in June, Mega TV has now secured an important foundation for its network distribution platform - two years after commencing operations.”

If the camera loves anyone, it’s Chayanne. Is it his charisma, his charming smile? Or could it be his Adonis-like features, piercing gaze and romantic voice? One thing’s for sure: his fans were eager to see him back on the small screen, and after seven years, Chayanne is granting them their wish. The singer will make his long-awaited return to Hispanic television in the miniseries Gabriel, which kicks off in September on Mega TV. “*

In an unforgettable evening, the incomparable Marco Antonio Solis is set to shine at the Billboard Latin Music Awards stage with the best from his repertoire. Recognized by the industry for his enormous talent and versatility as a singer, songwriter and record producer, Solis has received numerous honors, including six Billboard Latin Music Awards. His most recent concert tour has achieved great success, taking him to many Latin American countries. Now the “Si No Te Hubieras Ido” singer hits the Billboard Latin Music Awards stage with a unique presentation. Solis, considered the “King Midas” of Latin music, has topped the charts with many smash hits and millions of album sales. This year, he is up for five Billboard Latin Music Awards: Top Latin Albums Artist of the Year; Latin Greatest Hits Album of the Year for “La Mejor…Coleccion” and “La Historia Continua…Parte III,” Songwriter of the Year, and Producer of the Year.

There is no doubt that Chayanne is one of the biggest Latin music artists in the world. With a career that spans over 20 years, the Puerto Rican superstar is set to fire up the Billboard Latin Music Awards stage with all the energy and charisma that has well characterized his performances. His worldwide tour in support of his 20th album “Mi Tiempo” has been a great success. An example of this was his recent presentation at the Festival Internacional de la Cancion de Vina del Mar in Chile, where he was honored with the Silver Seagull, the festival’s single most important award. “Mi Tiempo,” which has topped the Billboard Latin music charts, includes the smash hits “Si Nos Quedara Poco Tiempo” and “Lola”. Indeed he will shake up the stage with a spectacular performance, full of surprises, energy and his infectious rhythm. Chayanne is up for one Billboard Latin Music Award: Latin Pop Airplay Song of the Year, Male for “Si Nos Quedara Poco Tiempo.”

Mexican pop star Alejandro Fernandez promises to give fans an unforgettable presentation with the musical strength only he can deliver. The “Potrillo” is in the midst of a successful concert tour throughout 20 countries in support of his most recent production “Viento a Favor,” an intimate rendition that includes great hits such as “Te Voy a Perder.” The album, a winner of two Billboard Latin Music Awards and more than 15 million copies sold, fuses pop with Mexican music, and even brings in Caribbean rhythms, making “Viento a Favor” a festive celebration. This is precisely what Fernandez will offer viewers during his performance on April 10, a musical fest in the unique style of this great Latin artist. Fernandez is a finalist in the categories of Latin Pop Album of the Year, Male for “Viento a Favor” and Latin Pop Airplay Song of the Year, Male for “Te Voy a Perder.”"*
