VIP Television
South Florida entertainment news covering celebrities, events, and trends.
VIP TV, short for VIP Television, is a South Florida entertainment news magazine show. Its coverage includes red carpet events, charity functions, sports, trends, and local celebrities. The program can be seen on The CW (via WTVX and WSFL-TV), Tuff TV, and MundoMax/WGEN-TV, reaching the Miami-Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce, and Key West markets.
The show’s pilot, a 22-minute episode, aired nationally via satellite on October 29, 2010. That early version featured current hosts Jayquan and Ana Maria Reyes, plus interviews with UFC fighter Spencer Fisher and rapper Fat Joe. Unlike today’s format, the pilot was shot in a North Beach studio and concentrated on South Beach fashion and parties. VIP TV debuted in its present 30-minute, commercial-free form in 2012 on WPLG Channel 10, the Miami-Fort Lauderdale ABC affiliate.

Background
The pilot episode of VIP TV, which aired on October 29, 2010, was a 22-minute broadcast that introduced hosts Jayquan and Ana Maria Reyes. Unlike the current show, that pilot was filmed in a North Beach studio and primarily focused on fashion and parties in Miami's South Beach neighborhood. It featured interviews with UFC fighter Spencer Fisher and rapper Fat Joe. The program later shifted to its current 30-minute, commercial-less format when it first aired on WPLG Channel 10 in 2012. On August 15, 2015, VIP TV held the first annual VIP TV Model Search to benefit No More Tears, a charity for victims of human trafficking and domestic violence. The event was hosted by actor Evan Golden and judged by record producer Scott Storch, Miss Universe Canada Chanel Beckenlehner, and Ms. United States Celine Pelofi. The on-air cast includes hosts Kavita Channe, Christine Curran, Natalia De La Cruz, Jayquan, Jennifer Riley, and Charelle Sno.
