Real Estate TV Show Update

Time goes by quickly! I mentioned in a blog last summer that we were starting to tape ½ hour TV shows for the Spanish Speaking community in Northern VA and wanted to provide an update. So far we have taped and broadcasted 12 shows on Channel 30, on the Cox Communication Cable Network that services much of Northern VA. The shows have received very good reviews by the local media critic and lots of positive feedback from the Spanish Community. Our general format is to feature community service providers, successful business owners, cultural event representatives and interspersed throughout – real estate related information - all for the Spanish Community.

It has been challenging. Sometimes the “talent” or guests cancel at the last minute, so you’re scrambling fill a 5, 7 or 10-minute segment. Sometimes the talent shows up not presentably dressed or guys with really shiny foreheads that they refuse to powder and end up looking like airport beacons…. Sometimes, though, we really make a difference in putting critically needed caregivers in touch with struggling families who needed help. We are particularly gratified when we receive that feedback.

Here’s my Coordinator and Program Host, Erika Echegaray:

Erika has done a fabulous job in mixing and matching guests to provide interesting perspectives and community service information. Erika is also a very talented Realtor. If you have a Spanish or English speaking client moving to our area, please keep her in mind. Although the primary purpose of the show has been to inform and assist the Spanish Community, we are also starting to experience real estate inquiries.

There are a myriad of details and considerations that go into producing a show for television and, if you want help or suggestions, feel free to get in touch. We expect to produce another 12 to 16 new shows for 2009. Our next taping is in February. If you are in the area, feel free to stop by and watch the show.
