Is CNN wooing Spanish talk queen Cristina?

By Rafael Abreu Posted Feb 25th 2011 01:00PM

Since the end of her contract with Univision, there's been a great deal of speculation as to what Hispanic talk show queen Cristina Saralegui would be up to next. Saralegui herself has admitted that she's received a few calls from suitor networks such as Telemundo, Azteca TV and Televisa with tantalizing offers, but she hadn't decided on which to choose.

Speculation again abounded recently after an interview with Azteca TV's Frank Cairo about which network she would choose. But there was no mention of one serious consideration that appears much closer to sealing a deal with the enterprising hostess as one of their own: CNN en Español.

In the network's latest move into the Hispanic market, it is seeking out strong, notable voices in the Latino world within the United States. For them, Saralegui, known to fans everywhere as Cristina, would be the ideal candidate.

AOL Latino has learned that representatives for the Spanish talk queen along with her husband, Marco Avila, are negotiating with CNN en Español to allow Cristina to host her own show during peak programming hours, as well as some involvement in the American English version of the network.

While talks continue, will she return to the small screen? She assures she will. Cristina remains dedicated to her other business ventures as well, including a home-fashions line, which doesn't appear to be taking off as expected.

he visto con mucha pena y desconcierto la entrada de Cristina Saralegui en la politica estadounidense por varias razones entre ellas ,el momento (precisamente cuando decae su imagen en tv)y al lado de Obama que tiene los mismos ideales que Fidel Castro. Si tienen dudas la frase "pa,tras ni para coger impulso.Era la favorita del siniestro . Cristina la uso en el lugar indicado en la convencion democrata.Creo indignante que un cubano respalde ideas marxistas. De eso venimos huyendo y vamosa ayudar a que este bendito pais sufra lo que nosotros? de verdad no me senti orgullosa de verte alli. Nunca te senti sincera, ahora veo . Tu eres del 99%, estarias dispuesta a repartir tus bienes entre los del 1%?Claro que no lo haras.
