LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Azteca America kicks off the year with important primetime programming changes, including the launch of two new shows hosted by two of the most lauded names in Hispanic television: Marta Susana and Fernando Arau .

Marta Susana leads off the primetime lineup with Cuentame tu Historia, where each night, she will profile one person's story from beginning to end, using dramatized re-enactments to illustrate events as they unfolded.
