SPI-tv TURNS 15

NAFTA, Nancy Kerrigan, Lorena Bobbitt found not guilty and Kurt Cobain round off 1994 when SPI-tv Media Group, (founded as Silhouette Productions, Inc.) was formed. Since then the Company has gone through a variety of stages like being the first independently owned local production facility to go with digital non linear editing capabilities. From equipment purchases to staff additions and a whole library of commercial and broadcast projects, watching the Company grow has been fun. Never wanting to be complacent, we've tried to stay on top of our game by never swaying from our philosophy; providing quality service to broadcast and professional clients. As we sit back and relish in the blessings of being around for this long, we say thank you to our co-conspirators, client partners and families for trusting in our expertise.

Latino Market

telemundoEvery large corporation is now marketing to the Latino community so it's no surprise that Chicago is the nation's fourth largest Latino market.
