This star-studded super session will take viewers behind the drama, intrigue, and betrayal that occurs both on and off-screen in Latino Hollywood. The panel will also address business strategies and the creative challenges of entering into the world of “Hispanic” television with the cross-over of traditional Hispanic telenovelas taking on new life for English-language networks i.e. network shows like Telenovela and Jane the Virgin taking nontraditional primetime spots.
“This year’s focus is on the reality TV genre,” says Louis Hillelson, VP/group publisher of Broadcasting & Cable/Multichannel News. “This session not only reflects that genre, but has the added bonus of being a cross-over between Spanish and English languages.”
“My Life is a Telenovela presents a unique opportunity for WE tv, and one that builds on our commitment to diverse programming and bringing new faces and voices to our audience,” said Marc Juris, WE tv president. “We are excited to showcase this world, which is new to many of our viewers, and the passionate men and women who make these incredibly popular soap operas.”
The Hispanic Television Summit will also present additional programming that focuses on expanding the business environment of Hispanic TV and Video for a growing market segment.
