Hearst Television launches “Matter of Fact” with Fernando Espuelas

Hearst Television Inc. is launching a new weekly program hosted by acclaimed political commentator, author, national radio host and entrepreneur Fernando Espuelas.

The half-hour interview and discussion show, MATTER OF FACT WITH FERNANDO ESPUELAS, will broadcast from Washington, DC, beginning this fall, with plans for national expansion in the following months.  The program, consisting of 48 weeks of original content, will air across the Hearst Television group primarily in the Sunday morning news and information block.  Selected segments will be offered on demand via www.MatterofFact.tv; Twitter followers can connect with the show via @matteroffacttv.

“Matter of Fact will offer an analysis and perspective on current political and socioeconomic issues with a focus on the implications for newer generations who are shaping a rapidly changing American landscape,” said Emerson Coleman, vice president, programming, at Hearst Television.  “Fernando’s show sits right at the intersection of national politics and the population shifts that are redefining the country.  He’ll be able to engage in a new dialogue with decision makers, from community leaders to heads of state, who influence policy and effect change in every corner of the world.  Matter of Fact is a perfect fit for our times.”
