WSBS-Mega TV Channel 22 announced today the launch of “Oppenheimer Presenta,” an in-depth political analysis program conducted by award-winning columnist Andrés Oppenheimer. Mr. Oppenheimer, a well-known syndicated columnist with The Miami Herald, and political analyst who has been featured in outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, has been considered by Le Monde Diary as one of the most influential Hispanic journalists in the United States.

“Oppenheimer Presenta” will air every Sunday at 10:00 p.m. exclusively on Mega TV. Already an established international political program, and EMMY Award winner, “Oppenheimer Presenta” today reaches more than 57 million households on 19 Latin American stations, as well as distribution in France and Spain.

“With the launch of the transcendental “Oppenheimer Presenta,” Mega TV embarks on a new initiative by launching political programming that is highly-respected among journalists and political professionals in the South Florida Hispanic community and beyond,” said Cynthia Hudson-Fernández, SBS’s Chief Creative Officer and Executive Vice President.

Andrés Oppenheimer is a Latin America editor and foreign affairs columnist with The Miami Herald. His syndicated column, “The Oppenheimer Report,” appears twice a week in The Miami Herald and more than 45 other U.S. and Latin American newspapers. Oppenheimer also contributes political analysis to CNN en Español, and has been featured in such outlets as The New York Times, The Washington Post, CBS News and the BBC.

He is the co-winner of the 1987 Pulitzer Prize as a member of The Miami Herald team that uncovered the Iran-Contra scandal. He won the Inter American Press Association Award twice (1989 and 1994); the 1993 Ortega & Gasset Award, and the 2001 King of Spain Award, given out by the Spanish news agency (EFE) and the King of Spain Juan Carlos I.

Oppenheimer’s first book, “Castro’s Final Hour: An Eyewitness account of the disintegration of Castro’s Cuba,” was described by The Dallas Morning News as “the definitive book on Cuba in the past decade.” His three other books have drawn critical praise and generated commercial success, topping bestseller list in Mexico, Argentina, and other Latin American countries. Oppenheimer was described by Forbes Media Guide as one of the “500 most important journalist in the United States” in 2002. Poder magazine also declared him as on the “100 figures most powerful in Latin American”.
