América TV Taps Marina Calabró and Luis Ventura to Lead 'Primicias Ya' in 4:30 p.m. Slot Starting June 1

The shift reflects América TV's broader reset of programming, with Jotax staying on.

Overview

  • América TV will end Karina Mazzocco’s A la Tarde after five years and install Primicias Ya with Marina Calabró and Luis Ventura at 4:30 p.m. on June 1.
  • The network is also moving Pasó en América to 11 p.m. and Polémica en el bar to midnight as part of a wider schedule reshuffle.
  • Primicias Ya will be produced by Jotax, the same team behind A la Tarde, signaling continuity off camera despite the on-air change.
  • Calabró said on her radio show that the offer came together quickly and unexpectedly and that she spoke with Mazzocco to keep communication clear.
  • Coverage noted recent on-air friction when a technical slip on Mariana Fabbiani’s program led to a joking exchange, public criticism, an apology from Fabbiani, and a measured response from Mazzocco.
