Los Angeles Falls in Love With Comedian Alexis Valdes
Fans packed the Los Angeles Theater Last Friday Night to see Comedian and Host of the hit Mega TV show "Esta Noche Tu Night"
Spanish Broadcasting System (SBS) (NASDAQ: SBSA) announced today that MegaTV personality Alexis Valdés' show last Friday, May 29 in Los Angeles was a huge success, drawing over 1,200 fans to the La Mirada de Norwalk theatre.
The audience enjoyed a two hour show filled with laughter and fun, along with music from the multi-talented director, producer and singer/author, Alexis Valdés. Alexis, Magdalena "La Pelua," Monico Pino and "Cristinita" (Avana) dazzled the audience with the song "Cristinito," which received a standing ovation.
"I was surprised and overjoyed by the warm welcome I received at my first event in Los Angeles," said Alexis Valdés. "The audience came to see the television personalities that come into their homes every night perform live, and that is exactly what they got."
"The Los Angeles event was so successful. Alexis Valdés has broken the mold, demonstrating that good television on the West Coast is possible and showing that nationality doesn't matter, but talent does," said Eduardo Suarez, Vice President of Production for Mega TV Programming. "It was amazing to see such a diverse group of people coming together for the same reason: the love and laughter that Alexis Valdés brings to audiences everywhere. Alexis Valdés and the MegaTV group are very happy and grateful for the response received from the public, and promise to continue working hard to provide the public with the quality and content that Hispanic audiences in the United States deserve."
Several spectators expressed their eagerness for a different program because traditional channels, with the exception of the news, offer "different dishes" but use the "same ingredients." MegaTV is a channel that represents all the different interests and "tastes" of the various Hispanic communities that reside in the United States.
