Emmys En Español In San Antonio.

The National Television Academy (NATAS) will stage the first Emmys En Español in San Antonio, Texas on Friday, June 3rd to recognize leading Hispanics in the Spanish language television business of the United States. Those prominent individuals honored will be nominated by the NATAS Organizing Committee of Emmys En Español, chaired by Raul Mateu. The full committee (see below) consists of distinguished Hispanics in different aspects of the Spanish language media business. After a series of deliberations, the Committee will recommend to the National Awards Committee of the National Television Academy those individuals to be honored. An announcement of the honorees will follow this spring prior to the event.

According to Peter O. Price, President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Television Academy, “It is our mission to recognize excellence in television through the Emmy awards. Our National Awards have, on occasion, and our Regional Awards regularly recognize achievement in Spanish language television. The Emmys En Español will now elevate that recognition in order to honor how prominent members of the Spanish language community have contributed to make this sector one of the fastest growing and most robust segments of the United States television industry.”
