Role As A Media Producer
It wasn't until 1984, however, that Luisito, who already himself had two small daughters, stepped onto the public light when he co-hosted, with Roberto, the daily game show Parejo, Doble y Triple (Square, Double and Triple), also at WAPA-TV. From the moment he and his brother stepped in front of the television cameras for the first time, they started to become more and more famous across Puerto Rico..
Later on, Vigoreaux went on to host other shows such as Sabado en Grande (Big Saturday, also with Roberto), El Show del Mediodía (The Midday Show) and De Magazin, one of several successful media partnerships with talent agent and former beauty queen Desiree Lowry. He has hosted or co-hosted and produced several other shows, both on television and radio. The most controversial of these shows has been -by far- Sunshine's Café, a comedy show starring Sunshine Logroño that aired in the mid-1980s.
Long divorced from his second wife, Marisol Gallisá, Vigoreaux in the early 1990s married Dana Miró, also a show host and daughter of Telemundo Puerto Rico's show host Eddie Miró.
Currently, Vigoreaux is one of the hosts of El Bayú, one of Puerto Rico's longest running morning radio programs (aired on the island's Cadena Salsoul radio network), along with merengue singer Giselle, and disc jockey Jorge Pabón, also known as "El Molusco". He became a grandfather in August 2006. On July 1, 2008, Vigoreaux develed several projects including the reproduction of several inactive teathre plays.

Famous quotes containing the words role and/or media:
“I wish glib and indiscriminate critics of industrialists had some conception of the problems that have to be met by factory management.... General condemnation of employers is a favorite indoor sport of the uninformed intelligentsia who assume the role of lance- bearers for labor.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
