Univision personalities Jackie Guerrido and “El Bueno, la Mala, y el Feo” hosts Raul Molinar, Carla Medrano and Andres Maldonado will serve as hosts to the Pop / Rhythmic and Regional Mexican sessions, respectively.

The series will be live streamed every Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on UforiaMusic.com/Verizon, Uforia’s Facebook and YouTube channels. The Uforia Hangout Sessions will also be available via local Uforia Audio Network stations’ social media accounts. During each Uforia Hangout Session, fans will be able to interact with artists and hosts in real time via chat rooms, polls, and interactive on-screen elements.
