Another feature of the new season for St. Augustine Tonight is that organizers are looking for sponsors for the entire season and for individual shows throughout the schedule.

FirstCoast.TV is the “unofficial Web station of the First Coast,” created by Rivera. The site informs and educates about current events in the area and focuses on St. Johns County and the St. Augustine area – a hotbed for culture and tourism. St. Augustine Tonight is a weekly talk show on FirstCoast.TV, hosted, taped and streamed before a live audience in Florida’s fastest growing county. Rivera launched the show in April 2017 with 13 one-hour webcasts per season and 118 on-air guests for 39 shows in the first three seasons, shining the light on local artists, chefs, musicians, entrepreneurs, actors, philanthropists, clergy, authors and comedians via a Youtube channel. There are more than 15,000 viewers on YouTube and thousands of followers on multiple social platforms.
