LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) May 11, 2017 -- LATV Networks, home of LATV and American Latino Syndication, held a very successful Upfront Presentation on Wednesday, May 10th in New York City at the Diamond Horseshoe.

It is our goal to use all platforms and resources to connect with the new generation of Latinos and their biculturalism, regardless of language.”
