Telenovas, like Encrucijada, are breaking new ground in helping deliver health-specific messages to spanish-language audiences. Colorado, and specifically, the Colorado Health Foundation is leading the way. In fact, the first Encrucijada section debuts inside Viva Colorado on Thursday, February 9 and will then be airing on Univision Colorado on Sunday February 12 at 5pm and 10pm. The show will also repeat Friday and Saturday nights on Rocky Mountain PBS's V-Me Channel.
