In the past, Mega TV, owned by SBS Broadcasting, has offered its Spanish language dominant audience Brazilian programming with success (see WSBS airs Brazilian telenovela) so once again the company will air a made-in-Brazil serialized program. Beginning at 6 p.m. EST and 7 p.m. PST September 21, Mega TV started airing a new Brazilian soap opera, 7 Mujeres based on the romantic novel written by Leticia Wierzchowski by the same title.
The serialized program takes place in the 19th century in southern Brazil, in a town where people, enraged by forced ideals, fight for liberty against the dominion of an empire. One of the central characters is Bento Gonçalves, one of the leaders of the revolution who is married to Uruguayan Caetana. The war has forced Caetana and her daughter, Perpétua, with her three children, and María who is Bento’s younger sister and her three daughters, Rosario, Manuela and Mariana to take refuge.

Discovery en Español will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month 2009 with four original productions scheduled to begin airing September 20 and continue every Sunday night at 9 pm E/P during Hispanic Heritage Month (traditionally celebrated September 15 to October 15 see Getting Ready for Hispanic Heritage Month). The theme for this year is the optimism, determination, perseverance and courage of Hispanics to survive and conquer adversity. Scroll down to watch a Discovery en español video in Spanish about the 2009 Hispanic Heritage Month campaign.
The programs will explore the pilgrimage that transformed the lives of field workers and gave rise to César Chávez, a well known Latino leader, in La Marcha de las Uvas. Un Continente Tiembla, Vivir Para Contarlo, and Atrapados, focus on the fighting spirit of Latinos and their a shared drive and aspirations.
“During Hispanic Heritage Month, we look to offer our audience programming that is objective, enriching, and relevant. This Hispanic Heritage Month Discovery en Español will celebrate Hispanics, not only through original programming, but also via a national sweepstakes that will offer one lucky winner the chance to get a head start and to make his or her dreams come true,” said Luis Silberwasser, senior vice president and general manager of Discovery Networks U.S. Hispanic Group.
La Marcha de las Uvas, scheduled to air Sunday, September 20 at 9 p.m. is a one-hour special about Hispanic farm workers’ fight for equality in March of 1966 in Delano’s Fields, California. At that time, 70 grape pickers left the field to protest accompanied by the banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe and led by a humble farmer. The march culminated 25 days later, in Sacramento, with 10,000 people. The program name means The March of the Grapes in Spanish. The production required nine months and was filmed mostly in Delano and Sacramento, California by Eye Works/Cuatro Cabezas under the supervision of Michela Giorelli, director of production and development, Discovery en español.
Un Continente Tiembla, scheduled to air the following Sunday at the same time is a documentary about some of the worst natural disasters of Latin America. The goal of the program is to capture the spirit of survival of that region’s inhabitants. Using archival footage and dramatizations the producers showcase people’s resourcefulness when dealing with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico and Chile.
Atrapados airs the first Sunday in October and shares the story of 65 miners who died after an explosion at a coal mine in Mexico. The producers address the dangers of mining, what they believe may be one of the world’s most dangerous industries. The human story of the Mexican disaster is the central theme of the program which examines what happened at the Pasta de Conchos mine in Coahuila; how the trapped miners were cut off behind caved-in roofs with insufficient oxygen, and how and why the rescue workers, even after days of courageous efforts, were unable to reach them in time.
A series of six episodes,Vivir para Contarlo, is scheduled to begin airing Sunday, October 11) at 9 p.m. It is about some of the most terrible tragedies in Latin America, from the view point of the survivors, the rescue teams and the journalists who covered them. Each of the episodes will cover one particular tragedy, mixing archival footage, interviews, where-are-they-now sequences and dramatization. The series begins with Avalancha, Spanish for Avalanche, and runs every Thursday starting on October 29.
Starting on September 15, the Spanish language network will invite viewers to participate in its national Dreams come True initiative, which incorporates a sweepstakes and a virtual online share at discoveryenespanol.com. On the website visitors are in invited to exchange stories of aspiration and triumph via video and photo uploads.

“’Xtreme: On The Verge’ is a show that stays true to the mun2 brand by showcasing the uniquely American experience of bicultural Latinos in the U.S. today,” said Flavio Morales, vice president, Programming for mun2. “We’re excited to bring our viewers a true Bronx story with a universal appeal.”

In an effort to spread the word among Spanish speakers about environmental issues and the state of our planet, Discovery en Español will launch a three part awareness campaign beginning this month. The company celebrated Earth Day, April 22, and began the campaign earlier in April with a multifaceted approach featuring on-air, online, and grass roots elements.
They hope these efforts will inform and inspire viewers to reflect on the state of the world, create awareness and motivate them into becoming an active part of the solution. The three parts of the campaign are a new Green Block Programming Initiative, two airings of the documentary An Inconvenient Truth, and “3 Pasos 3 Personas,” a new grassroots campaign in partnership with La Onda Verde. Scroll down to watch videos.
Discovery en Español premiered, for the first-time on Spanish network television in the United States, the movie An Inconvenient Truth with a Spanish language voice over April 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The program will air again at the same time April 25. The famous documentary narrated by Al Gore and released by Paramount Vantage addresses environmental issues. It received an Oscar and a Grammy and Gore received the Nobel Peace Prize for his film related work.
“The Earth has always defined our brand. Programming is a key tool in our arsenal to communicate our love for the planet. Yet we view our commitment as more than the spectacular specials we bring to our audiences. That is why we continually look for additional ways to enlist and inspire,” said Luis Silberwasser, senior vice president and general manager of Discovery Networks U.S. Hispanic Group.
Discovery en Español is also unveiling the first component of a new partnership with La Onda Verde de NRDC, the division of the Natural Resources Defense Council created to inform and involve Hispanics in the protection of the environment. The joint campaign, dubbed “3 Pasos 3 Personas,” to be released on-air and online is a call to action for viewers to become involved by visiting discoveryenespanol.com/3pasos. See video below.
Adrianna Quintero
“The goal of this campaign and the online application developed for this purpose is to motivate viewers to make three simple eco-changes in their lives that can make a difference, and then inspire three friends to do the same,” said Adrianna Quintero, director of La Onda Verde. “The applications will make it easy for people to learn about simple actions to save the planet. It will enable them to easily challenge friends to do the same by kindling conversations on social networks such as Facebook and Myspace as well as via e-mail.”
Discovery en Español will also launch an environmental series of one hour programs for green living oriented audiences scheduled to air Saturday nights at 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT as part of the network’s Green Block programming. Stuff Happens, hosted by Bill Nye the “Science Guy,” will be the first part of the series to air May 2, 2009. The program explores the source of things, what happens after we use them and how their disposal impacts our environment.
Discovery en Español is the Spanish-language voice of Discovery. The network offers Spanish speaking viewers in the United States science and technology, world culture and history, nature and wildlife and real-life drama from a selection of the Discovery networks and in house original Spanish-language content.

AOL is now in the publishing business. Earlier this year, the company established MediaGlow, a publishing business unit and plans to launch 30 websites this year. Latinos in the United States (and Latin America) are part of AOL’s target audience. As part of its efforts to reach Spanish dominant Hispanic women through a series of websites, AOL Latino recently launched TecnoPadres.com, a new website offering new technology information for parents. Company executives expect about 60 percent of the website’s audience to be Hispanic.
The idea is for the Spanish language website to become a resource for parents to learn and understand technology, especially in relation to their children and their online safety. The website, sponsored exclusively by Verizon Wireless, is part of part of AOL Latino’s women’s lifestyle network Tu Vida y Más.
Miguel Ferrer, director, AOL Latino
“TecnoPadres.com will be a valuable resource for parents to learn how to keep their children safer online and to understand and relate to the technology that is increasingly shaping their children’s lives,” said Miguel Ferrer, director of AOL Latino. “TecnoPadres is an important new venture for AOL Latino, not only because the Latino parent market is largely untapped but also because it shows we continue to be forward thinking when it comes to showing leadership within the Latino category.”
The site features regular updates of content from several bloggers including translated content from The Online Mom, a content partner; as well as articles by TecnoDad, Carlos Cano, Laura Rendon, Sarah Klein, Barry Myers and TecnoBlogger. Topics planned include social networking sites like Bebo, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and mobile devices including cell phones and game units.
The Nuevo Esta Semana (New This Week) section will highlight staff picks of the newest and most relevant weekly features in websites, helpful tips and games. There are also plans in place for company produced videos visitors can watch, along with pre-roll commercials, on an embedded video player.
In the works is a video on how parents can set parental controls. Online safety for children is a topic AOL has addressed in the past in other forums. In September 2008, AOL launched SafetyClicks.com, offering online safety education. It recently introduced an updated version of its free, downloadable parental controls software for parents who want to supervise their children’s activities online.
AOL Latino, a bilingual portal for U.S. Hispanics, offers U.S. and Latin American news, financial tools, music and entertainment, personal finance, sports, fashion and beauty content as well as fee free email and instant messages. The website had 1.6 million unique visitors according to January 2009 comScore Media Metrix data, ranking it as one of the top three bilingual portals for Hispanics.
MediaGlow is designed to centralize AOL’s programming efforts, AOL.com and its content verticals, dozens of niche sites, and studios in Los Angeles and New York City. MediaGlow operates more than 70 sites and attracts more than 70 million unique visitors each month, according to comScore Media Metrix. MediaGlow, Platform-A for ad sales, and People Networks for social media efforts are AOL’s three strongest business divisions.
