USA / Latin America - Production Resource Group (PRG) provided a complete lighting package for the live broadcast of Univision's Premios Juventud, the first annual award show on Spanish-language television honouring popular Latin stars. Broadcast throughout Latin America, the show was seen by over 23 million viewers in the US alone. It was the second highest-rated awards show in history on Hispanic television.

Entertainers featured in the show included Mexican superstar ThalĂ­a, Colombian heartthrob Juanes, and pop music sensation Paulina Rubio. The stars gave performances and received awards on an expansive stage that was decorated as a dance club, complete with a DJ booth and V.I.P. lounge area. The show's production crew included lighting director/programmer Felix Peralta, lighting director John Daniels, Catalyst programmer Jason Rudolph, head electrician Angus Sinex, and moving light technician Chris Nye.

The lighting package for the show contained some of PRG's most popular automated fixtures, including VL3000 spot units, VL5 wash units, VL1000 TS/AS ERS luminaires, VL6 spot units, MAC 2000 wash units, and Studio Beam PC wash units. PRG also supplied five Catalyst media servers to create special lighting effects and integrate the show's lighting and video elements.

"PRG provided us with top-notch customer service. We asked for many different types of fixtures in large numbers, and PRG met our requests without complaints or a single substitution", stated lighting designer Carlos Colina. "Our PRG account manager, Gary Mass, helped make the whole production experience a real pleasure."
