Direct from the heart of debate, Telemundo presents “Enfoque con Jose Diaz-Balart,”
the special “Arizona Hora Cero” and “Noticiero Telemundo”

MIAMI – July 23, 2010 – Telemundo, a leading producer of high-quality content for Hispanics in the U.S. and audiences around the world, today announced the broadcast of a series of in-depth special programs highlighting the developments around Law 1070, two weeks before its possible implementation in Arizona. “Enfoque con Jose Diaz-Balart,” the special “Arizona Hora Cero” (Arizona Zero Hour) hosted by Vanessa Hauc and “Noticiero Telemundo” will broadcast directly from the border state to bring viewers all the details surrounding the controversial law that’s currently being debated by the Federal Government:
- A special edition of “Enfoque con Jose Diaz-Balart,” Telemundo’s weekly public affairs program, will present a forum titled “We are America” from Phoenix on Sunday, July 25, at 11:30AM ET/10:30C. The forum will feature four lawyers with different backgrounds to inform Hispanic viewers regarding what they can and can’t do when faced with a legal situation in the United States.
- The same day at 4:30PM ET/3:30C, Vanessa Hauc will host “Arizona Hora Cero” (Arizona Zero Hour), a news special including a series of reports and debates on the immigration issue, in addition to exclusive interviews with singer Jenny Rivera and Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The program will also feature segments from the concert “Voces Unidas por America” (Voices United for America) held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during the LULAC convention (League of United Latin American Citizens). With the participation of Cristian Castro, Ozomatli, Pee Wee and Luis Enrique among others, the concert joined the efforts of non-government organizations and other activist groups to support immigrants since the passage of Law 1070.
- For a full week, “Noticiero Telemundo con Jose Diaz-Balart” will broadcast live from Phoenix, July 26 - 30, providing up-to-the-minute reports should law 1070 go into effect. “Noticiero Telemundo” airs nightly, Monday through Friday at 6:30PM/5:30C.
With live broadcasts and special programs directly from the scene of events and coverage of all angles of the issue, Telemundo has been the most important source of news for Hispanics from the moment Law 1070 was approved.
