Guillen joins Estrella Media from NBCUniversal, where he served as Executive Vice President, Commercial Strategy and International Development for the Universal Studio Group. He will report to CEO Peter Markham and be based in the company’s Burbank offices.

 

Guillen will oversee the U.S. domestic and global content strategy for Estrella Media’s television, streaming, digital, audio, events, and digital businesses, including developing, producing, and acquiring all television and film content, overseeing network and station programming, news, sports, digital content, and studio productions. In addition, he will be responsible for the international distribution of the company’s content.

 

“Enrique brings impeccable credentials as a leading executive in global content development and distribution, and he is a perfect fit to help our company accelerate our leadership position,” said Markham. “We look forward to Enrique taking a prominent role in helping us plot our next phase of growth as the changes taking place in our industry present unprecedented opportunities for Estrella Media.”

Guillen comes to Estrella from NBCUniversal where he most recently served as head of Global Formats, overseeing the team in charge of international sales and production of NBCUniversal formats around the world. Guillen also created a global portfolio of groundbreaking projects for the Universal Studio Group, including its first ever Spanish language series, “Supertitlan,” in co-production with the Mexican premium label Dopamine, and the 10-episode super-landmark series, “The Americas,” a cross platform multi-year natural history production for NBC and Peacock, in association with the BBC Studios Natural History Unit.

 

Prior to that, Guillen was one of the founding executives of the Universal Television Alternative Studio. As EVP of Alternative Development and Production, he oversaw the development, launch, and international rollout of properties, including “World of Dance,” “Titan Games,” “Hollywood Game Night,” and the award-winning hit game show “The Wall,” produced in over 25 countries.

A New Paradigm in Latino Comedy Comes to Primetime TV

Based on the Influential Characters from the Nationally Syndicated ‘Don Cheto Al Aire’ Radio Show, Norteados (“Turned Around”) Breaks Through with Dual Platform Premieres: Streaming Premiere on Samsung TV Plus on September 15, and Broadcast Premiere on EstrellaTV on September 22 at 8 p.m./7 p.m. CT

 

Wednesday, September 7, 2022– LOS ANGELES, CA – Norteados con Don Cheto, Estrella Media’s new one-hour scripted comedy series, will have the first dual platform launch for the EstrellaTV network. The series expands on the characters and rich lore of the hit radio show, Don Cheto Al Aire, featuring Don Cheto, Chino, Gisselle Bravo, and Said Garcia. It premieres with three episodes on the new streaming service Samsung TV Plus on September 15, and then two weekly, back-to-back episodes on EstrellaTV on September 22 at 8 p.m./7 p.m. CT and 9 p.m./8 p.m. CT.

The series unveils a new format for Spanish-language TV that borrows from sketch comedy, improv, mockumentary, and contemporary scripted sitcoms. Set in a cozy home garage, Norteados con Don Cheto features relatable storylines and incredible catastrophes (in Spanish with English language subtitles).

Don Cheto is the beloved character from radio, TV, and YouTube, who has won the hearts of millions of loyal followers in the U.S., Mexico, and Latin America through his daily Los Angeles based radio show. His three talented friends and co-hosts – Said, Gisselle, and Chino – round out a troupe that does relevant and irreverent comedy every morning.  First season storylines include: dueling with pocho podcasters,  finding a girlfriend for the elderly Don Cheto, being bilked by a hot repair guy, and the perils of occasional time travel.

The series was created and produced by Estrella Media’s Agua Fresca Studios, headed by the show’s Executive Producer Jose Marquez, based on the Don Cheto character created and performed by Juan Carlos Razo.  After premiering on the Samsung TV Plus streaming app and platform on September 12, and on EstrellaTV on September 22, the series will be available on-demand on the EstrellaTV app and streaming on EstrellaTV.com starting September 22.
