EstrellaTV expands Fall 2010 programming.
September 29, 2010
Following the launch of new shows earlier this year, like, “Noticiero con Enrique Gratas” hosted by award winning Spanish-language journalist, Enrique Gratas, “Duetos,” and the return of the third season of the popular talent show, “Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento,” Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. (LBI Media) introduced four new shows to EstrellaTV’s robust programming line-up.
“As we kick off our new fall season, EstrellaTV has a series of returning favorites, as well as an impressive roster of brand new shows and specials, that is sure to resonate with Hispanic communities across the nation,” said Lenard Liberman, Chief Executive Officer and President of LBI Media. “During the course of 2010, the network recently celebrated its one year anniversary, became Nielsen-rated, experienced significant ratings successes over Telemundo and Telefutura in primetime, held its inaugural Upfronts, expanded its reach, and garnered the attention of Hispanic audiences and advertisers seeking a fresh approach to Hispanic entertainment. The addition of these compelling shows speaks to the strength of EstrellaTV’s value proposition and is a great finish to the year.”
“El Humor de Hector Suarez”
Already known to many as a judge on “Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento” and as a legendary Mexican actor and comedian, Hector Suárez is starring in his own weekly comedy series on EstrellaTV. “El Humor de Hector Suarez,” which debuted earlier this month, airs Saturdays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET/PT and from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. CT.
“Estrellitas Del Sabado”
EstrellaTV has launched a new two-hour family entertainment program called “Estrellitas Del Sabado.” The variety show, hosted by telenovela superstar, Itati Cantoral, who formerly starred in Univision’s “Hasta Que el Dinero Nos Separe,” airs Saturdays from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET/PT and from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CT. “Estrellitas Del Sabado” provides an opportunity for children ages 12 and under to showcase their talents. In addition, the program features comedy sketches, hilarious games for both parents and children, and an in-the-street segment reminiscent of the “Kids Say the Darndest Things” series.
“El Shaka”
Drama, intrigue and suspense hit EstrellaTV with the premiere of “El Shaka” – a hot new series which debuted on October 25th and is subsequently airing Mondays and Thursdays from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET/PT and 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CT. Shot entirely on location in Mexico, the drama series brings together a premiere cast and a legendary production team, including the writer and director of some of the most popular crime series and novellas produced in Mexico. “El Shaka” will redefine the mysterious and dangerous world of Mexican drug cartels by following the trials and tribulations of Mexico’s biggest and most notorious drug lord and show how he balances family, friends, religion and his job.
“Quiero Triunfar”
“Quiero Triunfar,” a brand new reality series, made its appearance on EstrellaTV on October 27th. Hosted by novela star Francisco Gattorno as a “life coach,” the show will strive to help Latin immigrants get their lives back on track or give them the option of returning to their home country. Francisco and his talented crew will help Hispanics whose American dream has been upended and are confused and torn by what to do next – continue to fight through their personal or financial crisis or return home to a loving family – a big decision Francisco Gattorno helps real people make as the drama unfolds for TV viewers.
