The much-anticipated 2022 Latin American Music Awards (LAMAs) will be a Telemundo exclusive. This was announced yesterday by the network. The awards show will be broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 10, 2022.
Reasons for the choice
With a star-studded lineup that boasted live performances by the likes of Becky G, J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Ozuna, Ricky Martin and more, the 2020 Latin American Music Awards was one of the most-watched shows on Spanish-language television. Now, Telemundo has announced that it will be the exclusive home of the show for the next two years.
The network’s president Luis Silberwasser said in a statement: “The Latin American Music Awards is a celebration of excellence and diversity that recognizes today’s biggest artists and songs, appealing to a new generation of music lovers. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Dick Clark Productions and to be the exclusive home of this must-see music event for the next two years.”
Telemundo’s broadcast of the 2020 Latin American Music Awards was seen by over 3 million viewers and was up double digits year-over-year in key demographics. The show was also a hit on social media, becoming one of the most talked-about topics on Twitter during its airing.
Reactions
Telemundo has announced that the 2022 Latin American Music Awards (Latin AMAs) will be a telemundo-exclusive event. The news has been met with mixed reactions from the public. Some people are excited to see the awards show being televised on a mainstream network, while others are concerned that it will not be as representative of the Latinx community.
Social media
Social media has been set ablaze with the news that the Latin American Music Awards 2022 will be a Telemundo-exclusive event. The all-star lineup for the show was announced earlier today, and fans are already expressing their excitement – and some disappointment – at the broadcast channel choice.
Many Telemundo viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the news, with some calling it a “game changer” for Latin music fans. Others lamented the fact that they would not be able to watch the show live, as it will not be aired on any other networks in the US.
Those who are upset about the channel choice seem to be mostly English-speaking viewers, as Telemundo is widely available on Spanish-language cable packages. Some have speculated that this may be a strategic move by the network to attract more Hispanic viewers.
Whatever the reason behind the decision, there’s no doubt that the Latin American Music Awards will be must-see TV for fans of Enrique Iglesias, Romeo Santos, J Balvin, and other huge stars set to perform at the show.
