“Maria Hinojosa: One-on-One” to end production in spring 2012

Citing “resource constraints,” WGBH is ending production of Maria Hinojosa: One-on-One, the Boston station announced today (March 5). The five-year partnership between the station and Hinojosa, a journalist, author and longtime pubcaster, produced more than 100 interviews with artists, activists, writers and civic leaders, and won an Imagen Award, which recognizes positive portrayals of Latinos in media. Nationwide, the show ran in 35 markets, and was also broadcast in Spanish on V-me through Season 3. WGBH said it is in “early development stages” of a new local Latino lifestyle program, and past episodes of One-on-One will remain available on WGBH’s digital World channel. “I know our relationship will continue in new forms in the future,” Hinojosa said.
