New Half-Hour Series Features Innovative Bicultural Entertainment In Spirit of Network's Off-the-Wall, Interactive and Award-Winning Website

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- mun2, the preeminent voice for Latino youth, is launching the highly-anticipated Holamun2.com: El Show, a new half-hour magazine series set to innovate bicultural entertainment, offering the best of mun2's quirky and Webby-award winning online content with deeply integrated interactive features. Holamun2.com: El Show circulates byte- sized mun2 entertainment from the web to television to mobile and back starting Thursday, February 14th, 2008 at 9PM.

"Holamun2.com: El Show offers never before seen bicultural wit and insights in a fresh program where everything that matters to the new Latino generation is on the radar and a target for comedy," said Flavio Morales, mun2 VP of Programming.

Set to continue the website's trailblazing efforts in the Latino youth space, Holamun2.com: El Show brings to the television screen a one-of-a-kind show offering Latinos from coast to coast an invigorating blend of hip, irreverent, bilingual and interactive entertainment.

mun2 host Renato Lopez will lead viewers through the twists and turns of Latino pop culture by dishing the latest in news and trends as well as introducing comical original shorts featuring the mun2 audience and celebrity guests as never-before-seen. Dropped headfirst into offbeat scenarios, (getting ready for a blind date, trying his luck at the dog park, eating bad candy), Renato effortlessly translates the best of holamun2.com, from its multimedia user-generated content to its unrivaled and often hilarious celebrity vignettes.

Series highlights include Mexican-American pop star Yuridia healing a sick child, reggaeton superstars Wisin y Yandel locked in a thumb war, Tejano rapper Chingo Bling on Abraham Lincoln's closeted Mexicanness, sultry Cuban- American actress Eva Mendes rolling a giant pink R, crossover hit Daddy Yankee in an intimate and "kinda awkward" webcam chat with one of his biggest fans, and much, much more.

Highly regarded by industry pundits, music fans, culture vultures and Latinos of all stripes, holamun2.com has already received great praise from diverse experts such as the founder of Latina magazine, Christy Haubegger, and Xeni Jardin, the curator of boingboing.net, one of the web's most popular blogs. Jardin, inspired by an Holamun2 vignette featuring Duranguense stars Los Alacranes Musical in mortal laser combat with a gang of furries, says mun2 is "doing some really hip, forward-thinking stuff online with this site."

Expect nothing but more "forward-thinking stuff" on Holamun2.com: El Show each Thursday at 9PM!

The show's premiere episode is available for viewing at holamun2.com/press/el-show-preview. In addition, launching this week, viewers can visit the show's website at holamun2.com/elshow to see episode clips and submit comments.
