'La Noche del Diez,' Hosted by Soccer Astro Maradona, Comes to the Screens of Azteca America

NEW YORK, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Azteca America, the fastest-growing Hispanic television network in the United States, is pleased to announce the arrival to its screens of "La Noche del Diez," the irreverent talk show hosted by soccer astro Diego Maradona that has been taking Latin America by storm.

The program, which has featured guests such as Pele, Thalia and Christian Castro, as well as personal confessions about some of the most crucial moments of FIFA soccer history, has caused a furor in Argentina, attracting over 6 million viewers.

"Azteca America is 'THE' place for Mexican soccer. And now our viewers can enjoy one of the greatest personalities in the history of world soccer," said Jorge Jaidar, COO of Azteca America.

The program debuts this Saturday 24th of September at 10 pm PDT & EDT / 9 pm CDT.

Don't miss the truth behind the polemic goal with the help of what has been considered the "hand of God," which clinched an Argentine victory over its bitter rival England in an epic game during the FIFA World Cup held in Mexico, or straight confessions about Maradona's rivalry with Pele, the greatest Brazilian striker in history. But more than anything, share the openness and frankness of "La Pelusa," number 10, that has made Maradona endearing to a generation of soccer fans and helped a scrappy player move from fame to defeat and then back again.
