PRESS RELEASE:

V-me is working with The New York Times News Service to bring The Times's content into the Hispanic television market for the first time. The two media companies will collaborate on a new weekly program called Páginas del New York Times.

With Páginas del New York Times, V-me draws on the world-renowned journalism of The New York Times, and selects topical stories and features covering global politics, lifestyle, economics, culture and entertainment - all presented from a U.S. Hispanic perspective.

The fast-paced, engaging program, hosted by well-known journalist and presenter Marian de la Fuente, debuts on V-me on March 1. V-me has commissioned leading international company, Plural Entertainment, to produce the series for the network.

"V-me is a mirror reflecting the issues and interests of US Latinos, but it is also a window on the world, bringing Hispanics information and insights into stories that are important for all Americans," said Carmen M. DiRienzo, president, V-me. "Paginas del New York Times fits perfectly with V-me's mission to collaborate with world-class media companies in bringing the best content available to America's Latino families." 

V-me is presented locally on KUED digital channel 7.3 and Comcast digital 108.
