R. Paniagua, Inc. premiers originals productions on HITN.

Hispanic Information and Telecommunication Network, Inc. (HITN), announced the premiere of two original R. Paniagua, Inc. (RPI) productions in New York and the surrounding area. The television shows are sponsored by the Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism to bring more culturally relevant television to the growing Latino and Dominican population in the tri-state area.

Both shows will bring new weekly episodes to HITN viewers. República Dominicana en 30 Minutos features in-depth breaking news from the Caribbean and Agenda Deportiva tracks headlines made by Dominican athletes around the world.

Shot on location in the Dominican Republic at SIN Studios, and Directed by Rafael Gil and Executive Produced by Ralph Paniagua, the shows cover pertinent issues that concern state-side Dominican Americans. Dominicans now have a definitive weekly television destination to connect with news, lifestyle, and sports and views impacting life back on the Island. This is especially advantageous to islanders abroad looking to cast their votes during the 2012 Dominican Republic Presidential election.

“We’re especially pleased to introduce forward-looking niche content that highlights fresh reporting on the pulse of news, culture, lifestyle and sports from that appeals, not only to the growing Dominican American population, but to all with interest in Latino culture and news from the Caribbean Island of the Dominican Republic,” stated Ralph Paniagua Jr., President and CEO of RPI.
