On Tuesday night, Rich hosts an exclusive interview with retired government official Dennis E. Gonzalez about the unfolding Puerto Rico water crisis on the Rich Valdés This Is America podcast. As the founder of Gonzalez Strategies and Solutions, Dennis brings decades of raw insider knowledge from his time serving decades in both the U.S. Department of Health under both Trump administrations and the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration under past governors. He exposes the ugly truth: how career politicians weaponized corruption, allowed catastrophic disrepair, and kicked the can down the road for decades while actively misusing resources meant to protect the island's critical water infrastructure. While this historical disaster cannot be placed on the shoulders of newly elected Governor Jenniffer González-Colón, Valdés highlights her aggressive, proven leadership in effectively ending the island-wide blackouts alongside major federal support from President Trump. With Puerto Rico finally stabilizing its electrical grid without a major island-wide blackout for almost a year, the big question remains: can Governor González-Colón work that same magic to rescue the island's failing water system before it's too late?

America's Liberty-Loving Latino Expands Upbeat Commentary to Bilingual Audiences, Available to Roku's 90 Million + Subscribers in the US, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
New York, NY – January 23, 2026 – Global Media Federation (GMF), led by Latin music icon Raul Acosta, and its streaming network Festiva TV, today proudly announced the signing of acclaimed broadcaster Rich Valdes for a forward-thinking syndication partnership. This collaboration delivers Valdes’ popular late-night show exclusively in Spanish to Roku’s 90 million+ subscribed households, while unveiling the network’s new cutting-edge streaming TV studio overlooking iconic Times Square as the production hub.
The deal marks Festiva TV’s strategic expansion beyond its core music offerings into high-quality news and commentary programming, bringing Valdes’ signature upbeat conservative commentary—covering current events, culture, and faith with Puerto Rican flair—to a massive Spanish-speaking audience via AI-dubbed content. The program to be available at 9:00 pm EST and is syndicated exclusively on Roku through Festiva TV (in Spanish).
Acosta, the visionary behind GMF and creator of the merengue band Oro Solido, approached Valdes for this first-of-its-kind collaboration, recognizing him as one of the top hosts in the country and the most recognized Hispanic broadcaster in conservative talk media—highlighted by his hand-picked succession to the legendary late-night syndicated timeslot once held by Larry King and Jim Bohannon, plus frequent commentaries on Newsmax TV.
“Given the shifting political tides in the Caribbean and Latin America, choosing Rich Valdes as a syndication partner for our Roku channel was a no-brainer,” said Acosta. “He’s nationally recognized, extremely talented, attracts high-quality guests, and his personality and clear perspective are exactly what our audience is looking for as we grow Festiva TV into a premier destination for news and commentary.”This strategic alliance enables true bilingual access: audiences can continue enjoying Valdes in English on iHeartRadio and other platforms, while viewers can now watch the AI-dubbed Spanish version on Roku and major streaming devices, including Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV.

Production will originate from Valdes’ new flagship streaming studio in the heart of Times Square, featuring panoramic views of the landmark Times Square view and supporting dynamic town-hall discussions and in-depth interviews.“It’s a blessing to partner with Raul Acosta and Festiva TV to bring my show ‘En Español’ to tens of millions on Roku,” said Valdes. “This allows us to reach new audiences in Spanish while I remain completely open to English syndication opportunities across...Sat, 24 Jan 2026 - 1080 - Abandoned, Arrests, Announcement
