Nelson Bustamante, founder of the online TV channel Motiva Channel, will produce together with Televen, the program Gente que Motiva, that will have its debut on Saturday, May 7th at 7pm. The program shows successful people, mostly TV artists, who tell the story of how they overcame the difficulties that they encountered throughout their career and how they managed to fulfil their dream. Bustamante will be the host of the half-hour program that he promotes with the 360 concept, because it also includes motivational talks in universities in Venezuela. Part of the agreement with Televen is to make a documentary with that experience and a book with the interviews of the program.The first 14 episodes were made in Miami, with Venezuelan artists who migrated, and talk about the difficulties they faced when starting all over from scratch, after being famous in their country. They include, María Alejandra Requena (the launching program), Annarella Bono, Camila Canabal, Nelson Bocaranda, Valentina Quintero, Carlos Mata and many others. It has been aired in the US for 6 months on TV Venezuela.In Venezuela, in an alliance with Televen, 23 programs have already been shot 22 more are about to be recorded. They all belong to one season.Motiva, as a concept, is a product that wants to reach all Hispanic America, but we must do one phase at a time, so we must first reach our natural audience that is Venezuelans. Some programs have already been aired in Panama and we are in conversations with Colombia, but the first thing we must do is see how Venezuela receives it, stated Bustamante.Rogelio Jaua and Félix Morantes are Bustamante´s partners in Motiva Channel.
