For Donna Cunningham, general director and EVP for Latin America and U.S. Hispanic of Sony Pictures Television (SPT), the U.S. Hispanic market continues to be a growing opportunity for their production business.“Our alliance with Telemundo has been a strategic move to reach the U.S. Hispanic market with our high-quality co-productions. And, it’s a move that has proven to be a successful one with the premiere of Una Maid en Manhattan in the U.S. reaching nearly 1.6 million viewers to become number one on Telemundo’s primetime programming among adults & women 25-34,” Cunningham told PRODU.The executive points out discussions are ongoing for a second co-production with Telemundo this year.Regarding the region, she said it is a great time to be a producer in Latin America, as there are increasing opportunities for new creative and business approaches to TV programming.“Building on our expertise in creating and producing high-quality local language programming, we hope to increase our original productions for cable channels next year,” she added.
