María Antonieta Collins launches syndicated radio program with FDP Productions.

FDP Productions announced that prestigious Spanish-language reporter, news anchor and host Maria Antonieta Collins is the latest talent to join FDP Productions, the new marketing and broadcasting arm of FDP Radio. Collins will produce three daily vignettes, “Casos y Cosas de Collins,” which will feature information about general interest and life issues. She will be heard across the country on a network that will combine some of FDP’s 95 national affiliates and new FM and AM stations as well, extending FDP’s reach even farther in the Latino community with her broadcasts and tapping into the women’s demographics. In addition, María Antonieta Collins will have the option of hosting a weekly hour long show in the later part of 2009.

“I’ve always been a fan of the radio because it teaches you to dream. I know that radio gives you direct contact with the public, something that I’ve always done through my television programs, magazine articles and books. I hope that ‘Casos y Cosas’ will be a daily tap on the shoulder, letting our audience know that I’m there to give them a hand,” said Collins.

According to Andres Cantor, Fútbol de Primera’s Chairman, “It is a great honor to add to FDP Productions one of the most recognized, trusted and credible journalists in the Spanish speaking world. She has touched so many people’s lives throughout her career and will continue to do so now via radio as FDP Productions branches out and expands its core audience.
