Univision to develop Pedro Infante merchandise

Pedro Infante was known as the "king of rancheras," and he starred in a multitude of films, often portraying a singing and guitar playing hero.

Although he died in a plane crash in 1957 at the age of 39, people may be seeing a lot more of him very soon. Univision, the Spanish language media giant, recently announced plans to develop a whole slate of products bearing Infante's name and likeness, from coffee to bottled salsa. 

For more in this we're joined by Gabriel Reyes, President of Reyes Entertainment, a Hollywood Hispanic Entertainment PR and Marketing firm.
