TUXTEPEC, OAXACA, Mexico, Feb. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Montejo and the legendary Mexican rock band Maná announced today an official partnership that will make the Mexican lager the official Mexican beer sponsor of Maná’s nationwide concert tour set to begin in June 2015.

“Maná is a universally known band that remains true to the Mexican culture. They’re authentically Mexican, and at Montejo, we too embody that same spirited, unapologetic and prideful mindset,” said Ryan Garcia, vice president of regional marketing for Montejo. “With Montejo’s presence throughout Maná’s U.S. summer tour, we seek to create a memorable experience that makes their loyal fans feel like they are getting an authentic taste of Mexico no matter where the tour stop might be.”

As part of the official partnership with Maná and Montejo, additional sponsored activities will include: branded VIP areas at each concert stop, a consumer promotion where one fan will win a one-on-one experience with Maná, branded visibility in Maná music videos and a live concert event set to take place at a brewery in Mexico later this year.

“Montejo is one of the few beers made in Mexico and imported to the United States that doesn’t try to adopt an Anglo personality or try to change what it is; also it’s a beer that honestly tastes delicious, and created with the rain, wind, sun and the earth of Mexico. Drinking a Montejo is drinking Mexico,” said Fher Olvera, vocalist for Maná. “It’s important for us to feel the connection with our heritage and our fans, especially when we are traveling. We can’t be more proud of having Montejo as our sponsor to help us celebrate our music with our fans in the United States.”

With origins in Guadalajara, Mexico, Maná has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide and their albums have topped the charts in various countries. Additionally, Maná has received numerous accolades including four Grammy Awards, seven Latin Grammy Awards, five Latin America MTV Video Music Awards and 14 Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Since its creation in Cerveceria Yucateca, S.A. in Merida, Yucatan by Jose Ponce Solis, Montejo and its brewmasters have provided the country of Mexico with a beer that represents the experiences and attributes of the country where it was born. The golden light lager carries a brewing tradition that dates back more 100 years and is renowned for its crisp, refreshing finish, but with a smooth and full flavor that contains 4.5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV).  Montejo is currently available in bars, restaurants, and at grocery and convenience stores throughout California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Florida, Colorado, and Nevada.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In response to today’s ruling by the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, which denied the Commonwealth’s motion to dismiss, and declared the Recovery Act void, Matthew McGill of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, attorney for BlueMountain Capital said:

In its ruling, the court commented specifically on the Recovery Act, stating on page 75: “The Recovery Act is preempted by the Federal Bankruptcy Code and is therefore void pursuant to the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.

Comcast Forcing Estrella TV — No. 3 Spanish Broadcaster in the U.S. — Off the Air Feb. 19

Comcast Forcing Estrella TV — No. 3 Spanish Broadcaster in the U.S. — Off the Air Feb. 19


Minority-Owned Estrella TV to Launch Massive Education Campaign Today with Top Hispanic Entertainment Stars to Give Voice to Consumers Furious Over Comcast’s Bullying Tactics


LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Despite earning sky-high ratings that surpass competitors Telemundo, Univision, UniMas, and nearly all others in the Spanish-language television space, minority-owned Estrella TV will be forced off the air by cable industry giant Comcast in three major U.S. cities effective Feb. 19.

Comcast’s decision to force Estrella TV off the air in its Houston, Denver, and Salt Lake City systems comes as Comcast’s own Spanish-language network, Telemundo, has seen a growing percentage of its viewership change the channel in favor of Estrella TV. In the media markets where Comcast is forcing the network off its systems, Estrella TV ranks as the number one Spanish network in Salt Lake City beating Univision; number two in Denver beating Telemundo; and number three in Houston beating UniMas. In the Los Angeles media market, Estrella TV is outpacing giant rivals Telemundo and UniMas combined viewership and beats Univision in primetime hours.

“This has been a real-life David versus Goliath battle, with our minority-owned company fighting one of the largest companies in America, and armed with a simple message: let the people watch what they want to watch,” said Estrella TV Founder and Chairman Jose Liberman. “With Estrella TV now surpassing Telemundo in the Los Angeles market and elsewhere, it is troubling to see Comcast act irresponsibly by putting its own self-serving business interests ahead of a small minority-owned company, and ahead of Comcast’s Hispanic customers.”

In response to Comcast’s actions, Estrella TV has launched a campaign to educate its supporters about the loss of programming choice for Spanish-speaking viewers, and the real reasons behind Comcast’s decision to force Estrella TV off its systems. Estrella TV’s campaign will reach hundreds of thousands of Hispanic viewers in Denver and Salt Lake City, and more than two million Hispanic viewers in the greater Houston area through its sister Spanish-language radio stations in those markets. The campaign is also utilizing social media channels to reach Hispanic audiences, encouraging them to contact Comcast to demand that Estrella TV remain on its cable line-up in Houston, Denver, and Salt Lake City.

Notable Hispanic entertainment stars have rallied to support Estrella TV in its efforts to put pressure on Comcast to extend the network’s carriage, and are participating in the massive education campaign. Popular personalities including Don Cheto, Noel Torres, Tucanes de Tijuana, Arrolladora Banda El Limon, Luis Coronel, Enrique Gratas, Myrka Dellanos, Julion Alvarez, Banda los Recoditos, and Kevin Ortiz have all joined the education campaign, “No Pierdas Estrella TV,” to rally to keep Estrella TV on air.

“I’m calling on Estrella TV viewers across the country to join us in demanding that Comcast carry our network to give Hispanics what they want, which is to keep the programming they love on the air, and that means keeping Estrella TV on air,” said Enrique Gratas, award-winning journalist and host of ‘Noticiero con Enrique Gratas’ on Estrella TV. “Hispanic viewers that love the popular programming Estrella TV provides should join me in contacting Comcast to demand that they keep Estrella TV on the air. Let’s ensure that Comcast, which has an unfortunate reputation with customer service as demonstrated in recent news headlines, hears us loud and clear.”

In addition to eliminating choice for Hispanic viewers, Comcast’s forcing Estrella TV off its systems will negatively impact the Hispanic-owned company and Hispanic communities across the country through the potential loss of middle class jobs (more than 90 percent of Estrella TV’s 1,000 employees in production are Hispanic). Estrella TV has attempted to negotiate with Comcast for a long-term carriage deal that would give it the financial stability to retain these middle class jobs as well as to ensure that Spanish-language broadcast viewers have a choice in programming so that the market isn’t dominated by foreign- and non-Hispanic-owned giant corporate entities like Telemundo and Univision. Estrella TV, owned by Mexican-Americans, has been a trusted and recognized name in Latino communities, and, through its original progamming, has launched the careers of many popular Spanish-language musicians topping the charts.

Estrella TV is a division of the privately owned Liberman Broadcasting, the country’s largest minority-owned Spanish-language broadcaster. The company owns stations in Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City, Denver, Chicago, New York, and Miami. Estrella TV will continue to attempt to negotiate an agreement with Comcast to keep the network on the air in Houston, Denver, and Salt Lake City beyond Feb. 19. For more information on the campaign to get Estrella TV back on air, visit www.nopierdasestrellatv.com and follow the conversation on social media using #NoQuieroPerderEstrellaTV.

About Estrella TV

Since its 2009 launch, Estrella TV has established itself as a top U.S. Hispanic television network across demos and time periods. The broadcast network has achieved its fast-track success by programming high-quality all-original programs produced in-house featuring well-known stars and popular personalities from the U.S. and Latin America. Estrella TV has built a catalog of more than 7,500 hours of programming now being distributed by the company to broadcasters worldwide. Estrella TV is owned and operated by Liberman Broadcasting, Inc., a leading Spanish-language, minority-owned entertainment company and one of the largest Spanish-language radio and television broadcasters in the U.S., based on both revenues and number of stations.
