Univision’s ‘Aqui Y Ahora’ nominated for an Emmy Award Nomination.

The Univision Network’s primetime news magazine show, “Aquí y Ahora” (Here and Now), has been nominated for an Emmy® Award by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). The show has been nominated in the News and Documentary category, making Univision the only Spanish-language network to be recognized by the Academy this year.

Broadcast weekly on Tuesdays, 10:00 p.m. ET/PT (9 p.m. Central), and hosted by two of television’s most respected journalists, Teresa Rodríguez and María Elena Salinas, “Aquí y Ahora” features in-depth, behind-the-scenes coverage of some of the most compelling news and human interest stories. The news magazine show has been recognized in the category of “Outstanding Coverage of a Breaking News Story in a News Magazine” for its reporting on the aftermath of Hurricane Felix. In September of 2007, this deadly category five storm hit the “Mosquito Coast,” a remote region in Central America between Nicaragua and Honduras. Going beyond their journalistic duties, Univision “Aquí y Ahora” correspondent Victor Hugo Saavedra and photographer Jorge Soliño were the first to arrive to this devastated region and not only gave a voice to the victims of this disaster known as “the forgotten ones,” but also transported injured civilians to safety when neither government officials nor humanitarian aide had yet to arrive.

“We are extremely honored to once again receive this recognition from The Academy,” said Alina Falcón, executive vice president and operating manager, Univision Network. “‘Aquí y Ahora’s’ first on-the-scene coverage of this devastating natural disaster not only exemplifies our commitment to excellence in journalism, but also our commitment to coverage of issues and events that are most important to our viewers.”
