América TeVé Debuts “Rick Sánchez a 90 millas”
May 5, 2016
America CV Network announced its new TV stake: “Rick Sánchez 90 miles”, a controversial TV program, debuting May 9th.
The new program marks the return of well-known Cuban-American anchor, Rick Sánchez, to local television. “The arrival of Sanchez will contribute significantly to enrich the professional and wide news coverage of our company,” said Chairman and CEO of America CV Network, Carlos Vasallo.
“Rick Sánchez 90 miles”, said Mr. Vasallo, “sets a landmark in television with its dynamic and accessible format, its editorial independence and its mission to reveal that part of the story that almost never comes to light: it denounces citizens, crime, political and other scandals, cases of social violence, white collar crimes and the unusual facts which go beyond popular understanding without ignoring the issues of science, technology and communications through social networks.”
For his part, Sanchez, who has a long history in media with MSNBC, CNN and FOX, enjoys huge journalistic prestige in the U.S. and Latin America, and alleges that “90 miles is a new opportunity to question preset schemes; playing an infinite game. It is not winning or losing, but updating our thoughts. Most of all it’s a call for freedom of expression, which respects the views of individuals and forces us to have the courage to tell the truth.”
Mr. Carlos Vasallo said that this project is inserted in the growth of América TeVé, and its goal to serve the Cuban-American and Hispanic general communities in South Florida. Vasallo recalled that in January the viewers welcomed two new programs: “Preparen, Apunten, Voten,” dedicated to the coverage and the daily chronicle of the presidential race for 2016, and “Buenos Dias America,” a refreshing information and entertainment magazine that pleases the public’s mornings.
“Rick Sánchez 90 miles” will air next Monday, at 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, in this new era of America CV Network.
