It's Fiesta Time for American Latinos as AIM TV Fires Up Fifth Season!

- AMERICAN LATINO TV & LATINATION Head Into Milestone Season With Record Growth & Big Celebration Plans!

NEW YORK, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- AIM TV GROUP announced today that AMERICAN LATINO TV, the original "in culture" English-language show for and by U.S. Latinos, confirmed renewals, dozens of new affiliates and upgraded timeslots climbing to over 100 markets coast to coast and clearing the way for its historic fifth season in syndication. The all-time-high distribution of over 71 million homes represents a record setting 92% of U.S. Hispanic Homes for the 2006-2007 Season.

Key affiliate renewals include KABC-7 Los Angeles, WBBM-2 Chicago, KTXA-21 Dallas, WFOR CBS-4 Miami, and many others. The three-time consecutive Imagen Award-winning show welcomes new affiliates for its fifth season debut (October 2006) including WWOR MYTV-9 New York, KDVR Fox-22 Denver, KTXH MYTV-20 Houston, KQCA MYTV-58 Sacramento, WRDQ-27 Orlando, and others.

"When we began, people were confused by the notion of reaching Latinos with English-language, culturally relevant television, not anymore. We never predicted we'd be in over 100 markets and attract the audience and marketing support we do. Five years represents a victory for marketers, the television industry and especially the viewers," states Robert G. Rose, CEO of AIM Tell- A-Vision Group and Executive Producer. "Our fifth season will be a celebration of this success and the American Latino culture and lifestyle. It's Fiesta Time! Our clients, affiliates and the whole country are invited!"

Celebrating with AMERICAN LATINO TV is its companion program, LATINATION, which clears the way for its third successful season and has also broken its own records for distribution, reaching over 60 million homes, via ninety markets, and covering 85% of U.S. Hispanic homes. Key renewals include KCAL-9 in Los Angeles, WCIU-26 in Chicago, KCWX-2 in San Antonio, as well as several new affiliates such as WWOR MYTV-9 in New York, KDVR Fox-22 Denver, WCTX MYTV-8 Hartford, WVUE-8 New Orleans, and more.

President of AIM TV's Maximas Productions Renzo Devia offers: "In five years we covered Eva Longoria before she moved from soap star to a primetime Latina icon, we aired a rare and touching English interview with Celia Cruz during her last days and gave Reggaeton a shot in the arm when it struggled for recognition. Our vision became reality and the best is yet to come."

In recognition of five years of successful syndication, AIM TV is throwing a season-long FIESTA! The Season Five Fiesta includes a series of events all over the U.S., a commemorative DVD compilation, The American Latino Awards, Flashback Segments, and much more.
