Los Angeles, CA. May 10, 2011 – Throughout the month of May, Azteca America joins in the celebrating the 15th anniversary of the best-known entertainment news program and a pioneer of the genre – Ventaneando America hosted by Pati Chapoy with her incomparable team of experts: Daniel Bisogno, Pedro Sola, Atala Sarmiento and Jimena Pérez.

After 15 years of broadcasting in Mexico and nearly 7 years of airing its exclusive version for Spanish-speaking viewers in this country, Ventaneando America has earned a reputation for being the first program to break celebrity news and show business gossip. “We work very hard to find the sort of information that isn’t readily made available in a press conference or in interviews. We investigate what is happening everywhere and from every angle and that is an enormous challenge,” said Pati Chapoy.

“For Azteca America it is an honor to celebrate Ventaneando, one of the most successful and influential programs in Mexico, the United States and other Latin American countries, as led by the outstanding journalist, Pati Chapoy, who is an icon in the entertainment world. Congratulations on these 15 years of continuous broadcasts and best wishes for continued success in the future; this is the only program capable of high-impact exclusive coverage of important events and interviews of top stars,” stated Alberto Santini Lara, Vice President of Production, Programming, and Marketing for Azteca America as well as General Director of Azteca 13 and Azteca Novelas in Mexico.

Last week, Pati Chapoy kicked off celebrating “15 Years” of her program Ventaneando with a spectacular remodeled set, which she dubbed her “casona” (“big house”). “I am happy to be with Ventaneando and I feel proud of what we have accomplished in the first 15 years. I feel happy to have a phenomenal team and to continue producing an entertaining program that presents clear, truthful, objective, and timely information,” added Pati Chapoy.

Throughout the month-long celebration, Ventaneando America will travel back to the past in its segment “Memoradilla.” In this nostalgic section, the hosts will re-live the greatest moments from the show’s 15 years including interviews, anecdotes, trips, games, parties, and anniversaries.

The most famous living room for show business reporting has been redone to celebrate the 15th Anniversary gala with special messages from celebrities congratulating the show on its long run including luminaries such as Yuri, Joan Sebastian, Alejandro Fernández, Andrea Noli, and Susana Zabaleta, among other greats.

Ventaneando America is an entertainment news, gossip, and interview show where truth, commentary, and journalism meet to cover celebrities in Mexico, the United States, and around the world.

That is why the hosts of the number one entertainment program – the charming Pedro Sola, the charismatic Atala Sarmiento, the acerbic and witty Daniel Bisogno, and the beautiful Jimena Pérez, all led by the renowned journalist Pati Chapoy – will join their Ventaneando America viewers in remembering their hopes, dreams, and secrets. “I make it a point to create a show that is different, intelligent, and original… To have a show that is tenaciously committed to what we do,” added Pati Chapoy.
