[via press release from MTV] MTV OBSERVES WORLD AIDS DAY AS MTV STAYING ALIVE FOUNDATION CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF CAMPAIGNING AROUND HIV & SEXUAL HEALTH AWARENESS

MTV logo to wear universal HIV/AIDS awareness red ribbon worldwide on air and digitally
New global Viacom research reveals 2 in 3 people believe HIV/AIDS is an urgent issue today, but nearly half do not actively take steps to protect themselves

image: http://thefutoncritic.com/images/shows/mtv20181130.jpg
NEW YORK/LONDON (NOV. 30, 2018) - In global observation of World AIDS Day tomorrow, which is held annually on December 1st to unite people worldwide in the fight against HIV, MTV's logo will wear the universally symbolic red ribbon on its channels and platforms in nearly 180 countries. MTV International will also launch a limited short-form series titled "Myths Debunked" on linear and digital, which discusses safe sex, getting tested and common myths around HIV/AIDS.
To commemorate both World AIDS Day and the 20th anniversary of the MTV Staying Alive Foundation (both of which fall on December 1st), parent company Viacom and UNAIDS also released new research that observed the perception of HIV/AIDS today. The survey looked at awareness levels of HIV/AIDS around the world and if people are taking preventive steps to avoid infection.

Findings include:
· On a global level, two-thirds of people think HIV/AIDS is an urgent issue today.
· Nearly three-quarters of people globally consider themselves educated on how to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV. However, almost half do not actively take measures to protect themselves. Globally, 44% of people do not actively take steps to reduce their risk of contracting the virus.
· Nearly half of people globally have also never been tested for HIV.

"Young people must have a seat at the decision-making table about their own lives," said Michel Sidibe, executive director, UNAIDS. "Today's young generation will make ending AIDS a reality."
"Since its inception 20 years ago, the MTV Staying Alive Foundation has pioneered a youth movement in the relentless fight against HIV, proudly supporting youth-led initiatives and empowering change-makers across the globe," said Georgia Arnold, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the MTV Staying Alive Foundation. "As we celebrate this important milestone, we acknowledge that while we have indeed made great strides, there is still more work to be done in pursuit of our goal of building a world where all young people are able to make informed choices about their sexual health and well-being."

Earlier this week, the MTV Staying Alive Foundation also celebrated its 20th anniversary of fighting HIV/AIDS. The star-studded gala at Guastavino's in New York recognized the foundation's 20 years of campaigning around HIV and sexual/reproductive health and rights, and raised more than $570,000 toward the global fight to end HIV.

Grammy award-winning artist and AIDS activist Alicia Keys honored Viacom for its founding support of the organization by presenting an award to Viacom President and CEO Bob Bakish. Additional speakers and performers at the event included Jack Antonoff, Phony Ppl, Henry Luyombya, and Nelson Mandela's granddaughter Swati Dlamini-Mandela.

The MTV Staying Alive Foundation promotes sexual and reproductive health and rights globally, by funding innovative youth-led programs and producing ground-breaking content - including the multi-award winning MTV Shuga - that encourages young people to get tested, practice safe sex, and live without stigma and fear. To date, the foundation has awarded more than $6 million in grants and directly educated more than 3.8 million young people across 70 countries about HIV.

MIAMI - Nov. 29, 2018 - Telemundo announced today the full cast of "La Reina Del Sur," the much-anticipated return of the network's most successful series in its history. International film and television star Kate del Castillo ("The 33," "Ingobernable," "Weeds," "All About Nina") will reprise her iconic role as Teresa Mendoza in this continuation of the groundbreaking serial drama. Del Castillo anchors an internationally renowned, multi-lingual cast that includes Italian lead actor, Raoul Bova ("Under the Tuscan Sun," "All the Roads Lead to Rome," Ferzan Ozpetek's Facing Windows," "Alien vs. Predator"), Humberto Zurita ("La Querida del Centauro," "La Reina del Sur," "Bajo la Metralla," Luna De Sangre"), Paola Nuñez ("The Son," "Reina de Corazones," "Amor en Custodia"), Antonio Gil ("The Man who Killed Don Quixote," "Risen," "The Merchant of Venice," and "Chocolat") "Patricia Reyes Spíndola ("Fear of the Walking Dead," "Frida," "Atrapada," "Los Hijos de Sánchez"), Mark Tacher ("La Hija del Mariachi," "Abismo de Pasión," "Curse of the Mayans"), Kika Edgar ("Amor Real," "Mujeres Asesinas," "Nada Personal,"), Flavio Medina ("El Recluso," "Estar o no Estar," "El Habitante"), Eduardo Santamarina ("El Señor de los Cielos," "Yo Amo a Juan Querendon"), and Academy Award(R) nominated actor Eric Roberts ("Head Full of Honey," "The Dark Knight," "Inherent Vice"), as well as members of the original series cast.

"The return of Kate del Castillo and 'La Reina del Sur' to Telemundo is absolutely an event," said Marcos Santana, President of Telemundo Global Studios. "In the nine years since its debut, the impact of this hard hitting drama is still being felt today. Kate's star has risen even higher since the series' debut and having her back on board in her most iconic role is just the beginning. We are confident that its combination of international talent, an emotionally compelling and action-packed narrative, and the heightened production values of this global production all add up to a must-see entertainment experience for all audiences."

Shot on location in seven countries, the return of "La Reina del Sur" is set eight years since powerful drug trafficker Teresa Mendoza disappeared into the U.S. Federal Witness Protection Program after bringing down Mexican presidential candidate Epifanio Vargas. Hers is now a life of total anonymity in Italy as "Maria Dantes," peacefully raising her daughter Sofia in the Tuscan village of Massa Marittima. However her life takes an unexpected turn and she will do the impossible to reclaim her throne as La Reina del Sur.

"What made 'La Reina del Sur' a success is the storyline," said del Castillo. A beautiful story about a woman who is an anti-heroine that fights for her life. This is a new 'Teresa.' It is her love for her daughter that is the strongest aspect of her continuing story. Now she's confronting all these people in order to get her daughter back. I'm amazed about what we've done with the new season. Fans around the world are going to be blown away. This is 'La Reina del Sur' reloaded!"

Based on author and journalist Arturo Pérez-Reverte's international bestseller, "La Reina del Sur" premiered in 2011 as an instant hit with audiences beyond the Spanish-language market. Season One finale outperformed all English and Spanish-language programming in its time slot. Still the highest rated series in Telemundo's history, its success launched the network's Super Series(TM) franchise. One of the most influential television dramas of its kind, the series inspired the hit English-language version "Queen of the South," premiering its fourth season on the USA Network in 2019.

What else would you expect from a two-fisted, spinach-munching sailor man? The 1940s brought new sights and sounds to America's favorite cartoon star. Regulars Olive Oyl and Bluto return, while Popeye resumes his riotous relationship with his shipmate Shorty and his naughty nephews Pipeye, Poopeye, Peepeye and Pupeye. With the addition of full color, cartoonists were now free to let loose with journeys to exotic lands and give Popeye a fresh stock of new friends and foes. But it's the eternal love triangle, Popeye and Bluto competing for the attention of Olive, that drives the majority of these zany situations - as well as the hilarious action-packed gags.
