TV Azteca International to co-produce more than 200 hours of the television block “Vida y Salud.”

“Vida y Salud” will air in two-hour episodes every morning from Monday through Friday in the United States and in Latin America on AZ Mundo, a TV Azteca International Pay TV network. Segments of the program on specific topics will also be available for the global market via the new Spanish-language health website www.VidaySalud.com.

“For TV Azteca International, this co-production partnership is a great opportunity to join forces on a high-quality product that makes an enormous contribution to the health and wellbeing of Latinos,” commented Patricia Jasín, Vice President of TV Azteca International. “Without doubt, this is just the beginning of a productive relationship for both of our companies.  The international distribution arm of TV Azteca will represent the program for licensing around the world, expanding our audience even further.”   

“Vida y Salud” is based on the brand and website developed by the well-known medical presenter Doctora Aliza.  In the new series, interviews with invited medical experts cover issues such as nutrition, sexual and reproductive health, mental health, pregnancy and infant care, presented with clear and accessible explanations.  Filmed at the TV Azteca studios in Mexico City, the series is hosted by Gabriela Quiroga and Ericsson Espitia, with Laura Masnatta as executive producer.
