| "Acento LatinoTV" was
created by Juan C.G. Miguez owner of JM Productions, a video production company
operating in the Vancouver and
Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, CANADA .
Started as "Acento Latino" its first program aired on
the ROGERS Multicultural Channel on November 2, 1992. In its
beginnings Regina Cerna and María Julia Amestoy hosted the
programs, and from February 1994 Griselda Wrzesinski
together with Juan Carlos performed this task. There are also young
people involved in the presentation of videos as is shown every Wednesday on the world music show "Sabor
Musical" and on the variety magazine show "Sabor
Latino".
"Acento LatinoTV" brought once a week Televisa's Sistema Informativo
ECO to keep our viewers informed of Latin-American and World News and has pioneered the
English in-house subtitling of International Serial Dramas that aired from 1995 to 2003 on the channel.
In
1998 the name "Acento LatinoTV" was adopted to identify
it with the television media where it broadcasts. Afterwards the
channel became the SHAW Multicultural Channel as SHAW Cablesystems
took over the operation from ROGERS in exchange for SHAW Cable
operations in Ontario.
Also, starting September 2011 the show "Acento
Latino" aired on OMNI TV in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.
We brought to our viewers the best Latin
Music Videos and the best of local and international latin
artists for their enjoyment.
Juan C.G.Miguez Executive Producer of Acento LatinoTV has
made the decision to not renew contracts from September 2014 onwards of his shows "Acento
Latino" airing on OMNI TV and "Sabor Latino" and "Sabor Musical" airing on the
SHAW Multicultural Channel.
Acento LatinoTV has produced Spanish language programming
for 21 years and is time now to move on yo other International commitments and let young blood take on
that responsibility locally.
Acento LatinoTV Website will still be available for those
interested on what has happened in our Spanish language Community in the past 21 years. More videos will
be added as time permits, so, stay tuned and enjoy!
A great BIG THANKS to all the Sponsors who supported us
these past 21 years, to Rogers Multicultural Channel, SHAW Multicultural Channel and OMNI TV for the
opportunity of having our programming air on their channels, to Griselda and all our associates that
contributed to our shows and to all our viewers for watching.
Thank you ! |
