Los Angeles, California (July 9, 2025)- The Emmy Award-winning sports program Virus Deportivo is set to deliver a dynamic and culturally resonant special broadcast from Atlanta in celebration of the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. Airing Sunday, July 20 at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT on Televisión Dominicana, the official cable channel for the Dominican community in the United States, the program will highlight one of baseball’s biggest annual events through a distinctly Latin American lens.
Led by acclaimed Dominican journalist Omar Guzmán, who this year received a coveted Emmy Award, the special aims to provide exclusive insight into the All-Star Game festivities, placing a spotlight on the Dominican and Latin American stars who have made their mark in both the American and National Leagues.
The coverage will include more than just the main event—it will also feature segments from the Home Run Derby, the Celebrity Softball Game, and other official events during MLB All-Star Week. Viewers can expect behind-the-scenes access, in-depth analysis, and intimate interviews with some of the sport’s most celebrated figures, providing a rich and immersive viewing experience for baseball fans across the diaspora.
This year’s broadcast carries added weight and celebration as Virus Deportivo, after six previous nominations, finally secured an Emmy Award in the category of Best Single Special, thanks to its powerful documentary Boston Celtics: Al Horford, Primer Campeón Dominicano de la NBA. The win solidifies the show’s place as a beacon of quality, authenticity, and pride within the Dominican and broader Latino communities in the U.S.
Virus Deportivo is both produced and hosted by Omar Guzmán, who launched the program in the Dominican Republic in 2003. Since joining the Televisión Dominicana lineup in 2014, the show has expanded its reach across the continental U.S. and Puerto Rico, offering daily sports updates and a weekly magazine-format broadcast that regularly features top Dominican athletes, particularly in baseball.
For fans eager to celebrate the Dominican presence in Major League Baseball—and to experience the All-Star Game through the eyes of a community that lives and breathes the sport—this special promises to be a can’t-miss broadcast.
