Daisy Fuentes To Host and Produce Nationally Syndicated ‘American Latino TV’

Tomas — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:30:05 +0000

"American Latino Syndication, a wholly-owned division of Los Angeles-based LATV Networks, announced today that TV personality Daisy Fuentes is hosting and co-executive producing "American Latino TV" this coming Fall 2009. 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.

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

Ceasar and Chuy Nominated for Imagen Award

Tomas — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:45:14 +0000

"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."

"LATV, the nation's first bilingual music/entertainment network distributed via digital multicast, announced today that it was dedicating its prime-time block on Tuesday, August 12 to Mexican singing sensation Julieta Venegas. From 7:00 p.m. ET to 12:30 a.m. ET, the national network will have the artist on every one of its programs, including En Concierto (In Concert), where Venegas gave a live performance in July at LATV studios in front of a packed studio audience.

"We wanted to showcase Julieta Venegas in a way that only we can, given our exclusive concert footage and the interviews that we've conducted over the years with this hugely popular performer," said Luca Bentivoglio, LATV VP, Programming. "LATV and Julieta have followed similar paths. When she was starting out, Julieta visited our studios when we were just a local channel. We're very proud that she's come back to perform for us when she is such a big star and we're a national network."

The format for LATV's evening with Julieta Venegas is as follows:
-- 4:00 p.m. ET, Mi Beat. Whether it's pop, rock, reggaetón, rap or indie, Mi Beat showcases the latest videos and the hottest hits. Julieta hosts a selection of all her best videos.
-- 5:00 p.m. ET, The List. Julieta VJ's with a play list of her favorite videos.
-- 6:00 p.m. ET, En La Zona. A toast to all that is current and hip, host Marcela Pezet interviews Julieta on her life, singing career and whether she plans to venture into English-language songwriting.
-- 6:30 p.m. ET, En Concierto. Taped in front of a live audience in its own state-of-the-art studios, LATV's En Concierto is legendary for introducing new artists and established rock stars. This brand new program is headlined by Julieta and hosted by VJ Pili Montilla.
-- 7:00 p.m. ET, Texty Videos. Where the TV meets the PC, Texty Videos hooks up texting viewers nationwide in this interactive forum played against the backdrop of Julieta Venegas videos. VJ Alexis de la Rocha hosts this virtual 21st century town hall.
-- 8:00 p.m. ET, Verdad y Fama (Truth and Fame) In-depth, thought-provoking and never, ever dull, Verdad y Fama features Julieta Venegas in this original biopic.
-- 9:00 p.m. ET, Classic En Concierto. An LATV hall of fame performance by Julieta Venegas.
-- 9:30 p.m. ET, En Concierto. For viewers that missed it earlier, or just want to see her again, Julieta live in front of LATV audiences.

LATV is also carried on basic cable through its affiliates and in Los Angeles on KJLA via cable, broadcast and DBS.

“FIRM GO” FOR SEVENTH SEASON OF AMERICAN LATINO TV & LATINATION -Syndicated Shows Make Distribution Gains on Univision

Tomas — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:20:49 +0000

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. For more information, please go to www.AmericanLatino.tv.
