Join Outgoing NALIP Membership Coordinator
Abel Salas for Birthday Send-off
Pachanga Happening on Aug. 17th
After Rocket Science & Salsa Performance
Yes it’s true, Abel Salas has finally let go of
NALIP as he transitions more completely into his new job as
Membership and Registration Coordinator at NATPE, the National
Association of Television Program Executives. LITI subscribers
have been fortunate to have Erick Garcia, formerly of Moctesuma
Esparza’s office, in Abel’s old slot as the interim Membership
Programs staff person. Thank you Erick.
In a goodbye gesture, Abel would like to invite
all to LA area readers and NALIPsters to celebrate his big
move and his birthday with a party on Tuesday, Aug. 17th at
the Zephyr Theatre, 7456 Melrose Ave. He hopes you’ll join
him in support of the Picante Pictures production of ROCKET
SCIENCE & SALSA: THE SHAYLA RIVERA STORY, a one-woman play
featuring puertorriqueña Shayla Rivera, a former NASA aerospace
engineer who left her career in science for stand-up comedy.
The autobiographical production is directed by
legendary Debbie Allen. The script is co-written by Michael
Ajakwe, Jr., a writer/producer on UPN’s comedy series EVE.
It runs Tuesdays and Wednesdays through Sept. 1st at the Zephyr.
Producers envision the show as the basis for an eventual sitcom…
the Latina women’s answer to The George Lopez Show.
Curtain is at 8 p.m. and tickets are $20 each,
but Abel’s guests and NALIPsters get a $5 discount on admission.
Seating is limited, so if you want him to reserve your ticket,
e-mail him at Regato65@aol.com and join him in celebration
of yet another crazy year in the business while helping to
launch the lovely Shayla Rivera as the next big thing in Latina
comedy. He would really love to see you all there!.

AIM TELL-A-VISION AND MAXIMÁS PRODUCTIONS ANNOUNCE
THE LAUNCH OF NEW SHOW FOR FALL ‘04
Pioneering Producers Announce “Firm Go” Status
for Historic Third Year of Programming with “American Latino”
New York, August 3, 2004 – Even before arriving
in living rooms across America this fall, American Latino
TV (ALTV), a new nationally syndicated, half-hour culture
and lifestyle program debuting this October, will be the largest
distributed weekly program in English produced for U.S. Latinos.
AIM Tell-A-Vision, producers of American Latino TV and the
award-winning Urban Latino TV, secured station renewals in
key U.S. markets and added over 20 new markets to its distribution
list, giving the new program an all-time high reach of over
85% of Hispanic Homes. The show, which targets the largest
untapped market today, young, U.S.-born Latinos (over 60%
of all U.S. Latinos), has helped solidify AIM Tell-A-Vision’s
position as the leader of English television programming for
U.S. Latinos.
Stations renewing with AIM Tell-A-Vision for the
new American Latino TV include KABC-ABC in Los Angeles, WCBS-CBS
in New York, WFOR-CBS in Miami and WBBM-CBS in Chicago. Additionally,
the show secured clearances for the Fall in several new markets,
such as St. Louis, Milwaukee, Raleigh, N.C., Nashville, Reno,
Nev., Jacksonville, Fla., and more -establishing the show
and its producers as the widest distributed programming service
available for U.S. Latinos in English.
The multi-award winning production team of Robert
Rose of AIM Tell-A-Vision and Renzo Devia of Maximás Productions
is in its historic third year of syndicated programming. The
launch of the brand new American Latino TV marks the legitimacy
of the growth of the underserved segment of the U.S. Latino
market, U.S. born Latinos, according to Rose.
“American Latino is a reflection of what is going
on all over the United States, not just in large, urban areas,”
states Rose, President of AIM Tell-A-Vision and Executive
Producer of the new show. “The clearances and reach of the
show into new markets in the nation’s heartland reflect this
phenomenon. We are very excited to help showcase Latinos’
voices in areas that may have previously been left out of
the boom that’s occurring.”
Every week, American Latino TV, hosted by Liza
Quin, a talented vocal artist and songwriter, will take an
entertaining and informative look into the world of American
Latinos and uncover the “cultura” that is influencing mainstream
culture in the U.S.
The show is set to launch on October 4, 2004,
on over 75 outlets in over 70 markets across the U.S., representing
over 51 million homes.
Through August 15th!
