LATV Nominated For Imagen Awards.

LATV’s prime time programs “Mex 2 The Max” and “LATV Live” were both recently nominated for Imagen Awards. The Awards, presented in 17 categories by the Imagen Foundation, were established in 1985 to encourage and recognize the positive portrayal of Latinos in all media, and to increase Latino representation at all levels of the entertainment industry. Both LATV nominations were in the ‘Best Television Variety Show’ category. The 20th Annual Imagen Awards Gala is scheduled for June 17 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Hosted by Patricia Lopez, LATV’s “Mex 2 The Max” is a show that features a unique twist on regional music. The program features interviews, in-studio performances, and videos from the stars of the genre like Vicente Fernandez, Thalia, Tigres del Norte, Banda Recodo and Lupillo Rivera, as well as artists that are grabbing elements of regional music and creating pop hits of their own like Paulina Rubio, El Gran Silencio and Café Tacuba.
