artists, critics, and, most importantly, listeners was
absolutely amazing,” said John Sykes, President of Entertainment
Enterprises for iHeartMedia. “We’re thrilled to move the celebration to
Miami this year and excited to share what promises to be one of Latin
music’s biggest nights with Telemundo viewers.”
