Mega TV brings Poker en Espanol.

Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. announces the launch of a unique game show targeting Latinos in the United States, Latino Poker Series .

William Riveron, Latino Poker Series, Inc. Executive Producer and CEO, states: “I stumbled upon Poker by watching some of the tournaments on English-speaking language TV. Soon thereafter I noticed a good friend of mine and family members playing as well. I started a home poker game every Thursday night, and this led to a natural involvement in the making of the “Latino Poker Series” show. This is the right time for the show.” He adds, “I’m involved with players and media that know how to make it happen, plus my years of experience in marketing, production and sales, not to mention my love for the Hispanic market. ‘Latino Poker Series’ is an untapped, but proven model.”

Jose R. Perez, VP of Programming for Mega TV, comments: “Mega TV is honored to be part of this unique and sensational project, first of its kind on the Spanish-language television market of the US. The passion for the game of Poker on English-language television has really caught the attention of millions of viewers, and each week more people continue to discover and enjoy these tournaments. This is the first time there is Spanish – language televised poker tournaments in the U.S.” He adds, “We are very pleased that Latino Poker Series has chosen Mega TV as the launch pad. Mega TV again confirms its commitment to bring premieres and original programming to the Spanish- speaking audience in the US.”

Joining the players of Latino Poker Series, are three great “poker” enthusiasts: As Commentator Danny Rivera , a radio personality and a distinctive voice of the advertising world. Yami Quintero , a broadcast professional, will be the hostess of the show, and Artie Rodriguez, an avid poker player with over 25 years of experience, will be the color analyst.
