“The inauguration of our own offices in a key city for the World of Entertainment in Latin America is a step of enormous importance for our company and underlines the commitment of Vivid TV with their clients in the region,” asserted David Guerra “This is just the first step in a process to establish our presence in Latin America and the Caribbean to meet the needs of our audience and commercial partners.”

Among the contents of Vivid features a linear channel programmed in blocks of 24-hours, World Class quality as well as a wide range of VOD content such as the renowned adult tapes (Vivid-Celeb) with the participation of celebrities as Pamela Anderson, Kendra Wilkinson and Kim Kardashian, their successful parody for adults (Vivid SuperXXXHeroes) among that highlight Superman XXX, Spider-Man XXX, The Avengers XXX and Star Wars XXX: this last one recently awarded by the “AVN” prizes as the film most sold and rented in 2012.

Vivid’s offer includes also a portfolio of adult Film Classics developed over 30 years and that includes leading titles like Ginger, Fade to Black and classic re-makes as Throat and A Cautionary Tale whose popularity contributed to locate the Vivid brand on an international level.

The Wit, Swiss-based agency that studies TV trends worldwide, presents this list, and during the commemoration of its 50th anniversary, will award this distinction to the series Pablo Escobar: “El patrón del mal”, ratifying it as one of the most outstanding productions of recent years. The list includes TV classics like Sesame Street, The Wheel of Fortune, Dallas, Columbo, Star Trek and Jeopardy, milestones in the history of video that will continue to be relevant for generations to come.

The general production was managed by Juana Uribe, Vice-President Caracol TV Network, who accepted the challenge and accomplished a great production that narrates each episode with film optics. The series was shot completely outdoors in 500 locations and with more than 1,500 actors.

“This is the story of Pablo Escobar, narrated with deep respect for his victims, and for those that fought and opposed his destructive power. We tell this story with the ability to envisage history from a distance, in order to illustrate it correctly”, says Uribe.

The Wit had previously referred to this important series as the most commented launch throughout Latin-America’s social networks in 2012, and the first episode, as the second most commented news of the week worldwide.

The titles for each decade will be gradually announced in Facebook during the weeks prior to MIPTV:
