In addition to the President, Arevalo also conducted interviews with Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior and Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security.

"We are honored to, once again, be one of the few television station groups invited to sit down and have exclusive access to President Obama," said Walter Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Entravision. "Latino voters are playing a significant role in the upcoming election and this interview represents an opportunity for our audiences to hear the President address the critical issues that are most important to them."

Entravision recently announced the launch of its new weekly political public affairs show "Perspectiva Nacional con Armando Guzman" on all 24 of its Univision affiliate television stations, including stations in key battleground states.

Entravision has also been an active member of the ya es hora campaign, The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), the National Council of the Raza (NCLR) and Mi Familia Vota, and has partnered with a number of organizations on public service campaigns.

"Entravision's markets are among the fastest-growing and highest-density Latino markets in the nation, with the Latino community representing 68 percent of all the population growth since the 2000 Census," added Ulloa. "As a leader in Spanish-language news and information, we take very seriously our role to inform the Hispanic community about the upcoming election as a means of promoting their civic duty to get out and vote on Election Day. We are proud to be expanding our coverage with the launch of 'Perspectiva Nacional con Armando Guzman'."
