BURBANK, Calif., Oct. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EstrellaTV, the fastest growing Spanish-language broadcast network in the U.S., announced on October 4th the list of nominees for its Premios de la Radio awards ceremony from Auditorio Telmex in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
This year’s press conference featured various Regional Mexican superstars, such as Julión Álvarez, Alfredo Olivas, El Fantasma, Cornelio Vega y Su Dinastía, Virlán García, Edwin Luna, Los Plebes Del Rancho de Ariel Camacho and El Bebeto, who represent some of the genre’s hottest recording acts. Internationally renowned actress and television personality, Aylin Mujica, hosted the event along with the founder of these music awards, renowned music producer and radio programmer for La Que Buena Radio in Los Angeles, Pepe Garza.
For this year’s edition of Premios de la Radio, which will be held in Mexico for the first time in its history, the artists that garnered the highest number of nods include: Christian Nodal (5), followed by Alfredo Olivas (4), El Fantasma (4) and Virlán García (4); while superstars Julión Álvarez, Banda MS and Gerardo Ortiz obtained three nods each.
Premios de la Radio, a ratings juggernaut that year over year has swept the competition in the LA market as the #1 Prime Time show regardless of language, honors, celebrates and recognizes the best in Regional Mexican music, and is the only music awards show of its kind in the United States.
For the first time in the history of the awards ceremony, EstrellaTV, the only growing Hispanic television network in the U.S., will broadcast the show live from Guadalajara, Jalisco as a sign of solidarity with those recording artists that have been denied visas to work in the United States. By taking its music awards show to Mexico, the network is also standing firm with Latino immigrants who have been deported and whose families have been separated at the border.
Effective today, online voting is open to the public, so that they may vote for their favorite artists and bands on www.premiosdelaradio.com. The three-hour show will be broadcast live on November 8th on EstrellaTV from 8-11PM/7-10PM C and will also be live streamed simultaneously on the aforementioned web site.
