The hit television series Ceasar and Chuy received an Imagen Award Nomination for Best Variety Show. The animated duo is set to make a special appearance at the ceremony to be held this coming August 21, 2008 in Beverly Hills.

Ceasar and Chuy and the variety of animated characters in the program touch on Latino related issues dealing with politics and religion, to music and education. “We try to touch on serious issues, in a very funny way”, say Keu Reyes, a creator and writer on the show.

Ceasar and Chuy has quickly risen to be one of the most unique and cherished programs in television, attracting the interest of a diverse group of advertisers looking to integrate their product with the animated duo. Since the show’s inception, Ceasar and Chuy have managed to land big time sponsors, such as Universal Pictures and McDonalds, with many more advertisers in the near horizon.

“The Ceasar and Chuy show is an open canvas for product placement and advertising,” says Alfonso Amey, creator and head animator of the series. “From what Ceasar and Chuy wear, to what they eat, to where they go… the possibilities are endless,” continues Amey.

The word about Ceasar and Chuy have also spread beyond advertisers to many artists and celebrities that occasionally lay down their voice in the name of comedy. Last season, Ken Davitian, from the movies “Get Smart” and “Borat” was animated and played a special guest on the program. Other artists such as reggeaton top-sellers Alexis Y Fido, stopped by and hung out with Ceasar and Chuy during an episode.

“Ceasar and Chuy have revolutionized Latino animation in a tremendous way. The show has raised the bar when it comes to Latino comedy,” says Reyes when asked about the program’s impact. “We are very proud of the Imagen Award nomination, and it makes us feel as very appreciated,” adds Reyes.

Ceasar and Chuy can be seen at their new time Fridays at 9pm on LATV, and encore showings on Mondays at 6pm.”

About LATV:
Headquartered in Los Angeles, LATV is the nation’s first bilingual/bicultural entertainment and music network distributed via digital multicast. A pioneer in bicultural youth broadcasting, LATV has been in the Los Angeles market since 2001 and launched nationally on April 23, 2007. Post-Newsweek Stations, Inc. is an investor in the national network and has a minority ownership interest in the Company as well as a seat on its Board of Directors. Targeting the 18- to 34-year-old Latino, LATV’s programming bouquet offers a range of content that includes multi-genre music, lifestyle and entertainment. The network is ad-supported and offers an array of programming that is original and exclusive. The company also owns LatiNation, LLC, which nationally syndicates the programs American Latino TV and LatiNation. For more information, visit LATV online at www.latv.com . “

American Latino TV (ALTV) and LatiNation,  the award-winning, nationally syndicated TV programs, announced today that both shows have garnered key affiliate renewals and will continue into their historic seventh and fifth seasons respectively, beginning the week of September 29, 2008.

“Our syndicated shows are coming off a record year of ad sales revenue in what is an otherwise bleak story for other media outlets, providing further evidence that advertisers and stations are recognizing that U.S.-born Latinos are not only the majority of the U.S. Latino market, they are not effectively reached via Spanish-language TV,” states Robert G. Rose, executive producer of the shows. “Our acquisition by LATV Networks earlier in this year has given us the infrastructure to finally do the things we knew we could do. Next season marks the dawning of a new day for what was once the sleepy business of U.S. Hispanic media and marketing.”

American Latino TV, the original “in-culture” English-language TV show targeted to U.S.-born  Latinos (over 60 percent of all U.S. Latinos), confirmed renewals as well as several new affiliates and upgraded timeslots in over 100 cities. The original weekly syndicated show will be seen in over 75 million homes, representing over 91 percent of Hispanic TV homes, making it second only to Spanish-language television giant Univision Network for distribution of Hispanic targeted TV programming.

American Latino TV’s companion show, LatiNation also secured key renewals clearing the way for its fifth season. It is distributed in over 85 cities reaching more than 62 million homes and representing over 55 percent of all TV homes as well as over 85 percent of Hispanic homes, with distribution that rivals Telemundo’s. The dynamic duo’s distribution received a boost with upgrades in major markets such as Houston, Dallas and Tampa in addition to a host of new markets. New markets for American Latino TV include Minneapolis, MN; Charlotte, NC; Little Rock, AR; and more while LatiNation secured Sacramento, CA; Tulsa, OK; and Casper/Cheyenne, WY among others.

“American Latino and LatiNation’s renewals demonstrates that creative shows targeted at the U.S.- born Latino resonate with an audience that is hungry for this unique type of programming.  These renewals are further evidence that our great group of affiliates feel as strongly as we do that entertaining, inspiring  and even educating viewers can still be a part of today’s broadcast stations program lineup,” said Howard Bolter,  president and COO, LATV Networks.

American Latino TV and LatiNation, award-winning, English-language Latino themed TV programs are part of LatiNation, LLC, and a subsidiary of LATV Networks.  They are seen in over 100 cities nationwide as well as the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

This month, the singer gained a new platform that raises her profile — and potential influence — in the local music industry. She was named host of “Mex 2 the Max,” a popular music show produced for LATV, the L.A.-based network aimed at young, bilingual Latinos.

The Group Joins The Vans Warped Tour For 44 Dates, Kicking Off In Phoenix On June 25th

The Pinker Tones Will Perform An Extended Set Each Night In The Skull Candy Electronic Music Tent

“[Pinker Tones’ ‘Wild Animals’ is] an endorphin-goosing dance album.”
- ROLLING STONE

“This Barcelona duo hit like a spicier Daft Punk, keeping the retro electronica but trading the po-mo mind games for hip-twisting grooves… for fans of Chromeo and Kraftwerk.”
- SPIN MAGAZINE

” Raising the bar for electronica used to be the realm of bands like Depeche Mode and New Order  – but now groups like The Pinker Tones are bringing a wild energy and ambitious focus to a new generation.”
- ASSOCIATED  PRESS

” Whatever crops up in the music — retro-funk breakdowns, bachelor-pad bossa novas, catchy choruses in Romance languages — the beat endures and thrives [on Wild Animals].”
- NEW YORK TIMES

” The boys from Barcelona hit the streets with [Wild Animals], a surprisingly confident and joyful collection of jaunty hooks and mondo beats that fully exploits all that the Pinker Tones hear and integrate in their port city.”
- THE WASHINGTON POST

“This group from Barcelona has developed a brilliant way to bring people to a musical climax thanks to their genius fusion of languages and rhythms in an electronic mood. ‘Wild Animals’ is one of the most amazing albums of the year.”
- PEOPLE EN ESPAÑOL

“Like some sort of hipster virus, the Pinker Tones’ poppy electronica has spread from the duo’s hometown of Barcelona.”
-BILLBOARD

The critics are buzzing about Barcelona-based electronic act The Pinker Tones‘ new album, ‘Wild Animals‘, as the group prepares to join the Vans Warped Tour on June 25 th in Phoenix. The dynamic duo will perform an extended set each night in the Skull Candy electronic music tent on the entire 44 date tour (SEE FULL TOUR DATES LISTING BELOW).

‘Wild Animals’ features a wide array of special vocal guests including reggae soul legend Jimmy Lindsay from Cymande on “The Whistling Song” and Amparo from Spanish band Amparanoia on “Electrotumbao”. First single will be the track, “Happy Everywhere.”

“Our last album, ‘The Million Colour Revolution’, was about utopia, a projection for how we wanted the world to be,” Mister Furia explains. “‘Wild Animals’ is about reality, our interpretation of the actual world we live in. Songs like “The Whistling Song”, “24″ and “On Se Promenait” are some of our happiest and most nostalgic yet.”

Just in 2007, the group was the subject of a New York Times feature, had an A&E television special, performed on KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic”, had a song featured on hit sitcoms “Ugly Betty” and “Entourage” and saw heavy video play on networks like mtvU, MTV Tr3s, Mun2, and LATV. The Pinker Tones also made a major splash at last year’s SXSW, where they performed five shows in only 36 hours and also blew away the audience at KCRW’s Sounds Eclectic Evening in Los Angeles alongside leading artists like The Shins, Lily Allen and Rodrigo and Gabriela. The Pinker Tones recent single “Karma Hunters” was also selected by national bilingual youth network Mun2 as the theme song for its popular reality show ‘Chicas Project’.

This past August, The Pinker Tones released ‘More Colours!’, an album complete with infectious remixes and collaborations featuring a stellar lineup of artists including Kinky, Nortec Collective, Zeta Bosio (Soda Stereo) and Mexican Institute of Sound.   Over several national U.S. tours throughout 2007, the DJ crew brought their electrifying set to fans across the country. The New York Times even claimed that, “Unlike many electronica acts, The Pinker Tones thrive onstage.” With a live show that combines the intensity of a rock band and the excitement of a DJ set, the group is moving along on the path to global domination. The Pinker Tones have ventured from Barcelona to such faraway places as London, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Moscow, Toronto, Beijing and Johannesburg.

Just days before its one-year anniversary as the nation’s first bilingual/bicultural entertainment and music network distributed via digital multicast, LATV announced today a distribution partnership with Tribune Broadcasting, bringing major stations in New York, Chicago and Dallas into its affiliate fold. The addition of the number-one, number-three and number-six designated market areas (DMA) places LATV in front of nine million additional television households. This brings the total number of households reached to 32 million in the United States and Puerto Rico. It also places the network in nine of the top 10 Hispanic television markets and six of the top DMAs.
“In less than one year, LATV’s affiliate roster has jumped from five stations to 33 across the nation. Now, the Tribune deal offers us distribution in three of the most sought-after television markets in the country,” said Howard Bolter, LATV president and COO. “Tribune had many emerging network options available to put on their digital multicast spectrum and chose LATV, validating our rapid and successful rise in the TV landscape. They are a first-class media company and we look forward to working with them as partners.”
The new Tribune Broadcasting affiliates are: New York (WPIX), Chicago (WGN) and Dallas (KDAF). New York is the number-one DMA, and the number-two Hispanic market. Chicago is the number-three DMA and the number-five Hispanic market. Dallas is the number-six DMA as well as the number-six Hispanic market. All three stations are CW affiliates. Adds Mr. Bolter, “These agreements are especially valuable because just as we have negotiated in many of our past deals, the affiliations are with the top stations in each of the markets.”
“LATV offers top bilingual/bicultural entertainment programming, and our affiliation with LATV affirms our commitment to providing the highest quality content for our audience,” said Tribune Broadcasting’s Vice President of Strategy and Administration, Gina Mazzaferri.
In addition to the Tribune Broadcasting stations, LATV most recently announced the affiliation of San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (KTVU-TV, FOX), a Cox-owned station, and Jacksonville, FL (WJXT, independent), LATV’s fifth Post-Newsweek affiliate.
“The Tribune agreement takes us over the top as a network with a national footprint. It is real watershed moment for us as more and more media companies are realizing that we have the right product, at the right time, with the right technology,” said Starrett Berry, LATV VP, Affiliate Sales.

LATV, the nation’s first bilingual music/entertainment network distributed via digital multicast, announced today that it had signed on its fifth Post-Newsweek Stations, Inc. affiliate, WJXT in Jacksonville, Florida. This is LATV’s 30th affiliation. The independent station in the 49th-ranked Designated Market Area (DMA) is one of the growing number of general market stations choosing LATV as its digital multicast network of choice. Known as the local station and market news leader, WJXT will begin broadcasting LATV on March 20th on digital channel 4.3 and on Comcast cable channel 229.

“What makes this affiliation truly unique is that WJXT’s broadcasting strength is as a general market station in a growing Hispanic market. This is a perfect example of LATV’s crossover appeal,” said Howard Bolter, LATV president and COO. “We are already in 16 of the top 25 Hispanic markets in the U.S. Our goal is to be in every TV market across the nation.”

LATV’s national rollout in April 2007 began with Post-Newsweek Stations’ affiliates in Houston, KPRC (NBC); Miami, WPLG (ABC); Orlando, WKMG (CBS); and San Antonio, KSAT (ABC). LATV is multicast on these stations’ digital spectrum as a standard-definition channel. The original four Post-Newsweek station affiliates are in the top 20 Hispanic ADIs. Later in 2007, Post-Newsweek became a minority investor in the Company as well as holding a seat on the board.

“LATV offers us the ideal programming fare to reach today’s young, bilingual audience in Jacksonville,” said John Rafferty, VP, general manager, WJXT. “With its cool, hip content, web-based components and on-the-ground national support, we feel LATV will best serve Jacksonville’s emerging Hispanic market as well as the hard-to-reach 18- to 34- year-old demographic.”

On the heels of adding 800,000 subscribers in San Francisco via KTVU-TV, LATV now has 30 affiliations across the country in 16 of the top 25 Hispanic television markets. LATV is also carried on basic cable through its affiliates and in Los Angeles on KJLA via cable, broadcast and DBS.

Political strategists trying to size up the race between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are talking a lot about former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk these days.

When he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2002, Kirk — an African American originally from East Austin — was virtually unknown in predominantly Mexican American South Texas. So, he blitzed the region, appearing there 15 times during his campaign.

It was a reliable strategy thatpaid off in one of the poorest regions in the nation but historically one of the richest sources of Democratic votes in Texas.”*

American Latino TV, “celebrating American Latino Pride,” debuts a special new episode this weekend, which celebrates the many diverse blends that make American Latino culture so unique. The show explores controversial topics such as “Are Brazilians Latino?” and “Do people prefer the term, Hispanic or Latino?” Viewers are treated to the tunes of Latin Hip-Hop from the land of Shakespeare with the UK’s own, Cultura Londres. Also, viewers get a lesson on African cultural contributions in Mexico with “The African Presence in Mexico.”

LatiNation, “representing a new generation,” offers an inside look at the booming field of digital entertainment with Beatriz Helena Ramos, a mixed media artist who’s making major moves in the world of animation. As founder and creative director of two production studios in the U.S., and her native country of Venezuela, we follow the talented Latina entrepreneur as she explains how her endeavors led to a rewarding career and her very own animation company.
