The change in Telemundo’s morning block, with the new show, Hoy Día, which starts on Monday 15, was the result of the audience’s wish to have more information in Spanish in the morning. “We are changing a morning program that was only dedicated to entertainment, to offer more than half of the program to the news. The main thing is to give the audience the morning news and what happened the previous evening,” emphasized Patsy Loris, SVP of News Specials & Programs, Telemundo.

“A bet on a newscast like this one had never been made on TV in Spanish. We are committed to the audience, and to have at the same journalistic rigor in these three hours in the morning, in an intelligent, entertaining, and moving away,” she ended.

She added that as the morning passes, the content of the show will get lighter and lighter to give way to music, viral topics, videos, interviews with artists, among other things.

“The nice thing about starting a new bet on a newscast is that we are renovating the studio. Now we have more screens on the set, with the latest technology, to visualize what we are saying,” explains Loris. They will add touch screens, graphics and many colors, and maps.

She highlighted they will have look-through screens. “We fill the video screen and then they open. We are combining making news with the latest technologies because it is a TV show,” she explained. She mentioned the studio is spacious enough to allow distancing between the different presenters.
