Sí TV Announces New Original Shows For 2005/2006 Upfront.

Sí TV has announced the addition of nine new original shows to its programming lineup ranging from “reali-mentaries” to sketch comedy. The addition of these new shows raises the total amount of original programs offered by the year-old network from ten to nineteen.

Sí TV chairman and co-founder Jeff Valdez commented, “These new programs follow in the Sí TV tradition of delivering edgy, unpredictable, and irreverent content to viewers. We are proud to be able to offer these signature programs that will help us continue to build and keep our base of loyal viewers.”

Senior Vice President of Ad Sales for Sí TV, Steve Levin added, “The new shows offer advertisers new and unique opportunities to reach this valuable market of assimilated Latinos who represent 60% of Hispanic spending. And because these shows, and all of our programming, are entirely in English, they have the potential to generate greater audience appeal that will resonate with the general market.”

The new shows include:
