HISPANIC MARKET: Interep's recently created Hispanic Independent Television Sales rep firm signed its first client, Pappas Telecasting Companies' Spanish-language television network TuVision. LATV Networks inked an agreement with Over-Man Productions for the comedic animated series Caesar and Chuy. It debuts today at 930p as the second animated series in LATV's original programming block. Caesar and Chuy are animated rockers and music video critics that comment on people and music from their rather cheeky point of view. Over-Man Productions teamed up with Artistic Warfare and Alfonso Arney Designs to produce the series. Galavision's debut of Vida Salvaje, which debuted November 4 at 8p, was the biggest primetime premiere in its history. It delivered 200,000 A18-49 viewers according to Nielsen Media Research's NHI ratings, an increase for the time period audience of +39% (NHHI/NHI Nielsen Media Research - 7/2/1996-11/04/07 primetime).
