Overview
- In early June the channel removed Florencia Peña and discontinued her show after she repeated a false report that Jorge Messi had died, and the show's production team was dismissed.
- Peña is evaluating legal action and her lawyer Fernando Burlando has said the contract rescission did not follow the agreed terms, with media citing a possible claim in the 720–750 million peso range.
- Nicolás Occhiato closed Luzu TV’s World Cup streams from Miami with a public defense of the outlet and said the program will return to broadcast from Buenos Aires on Monday.
- Reports of lost sponsors circulated after the incident but were quickly denied by outlets covering the channel, leaving the financial impact unconfirmed.
- The dispute leaves Luzu TV balancing operational recovery, ongoing legal risk and reputational damage, and could lead to courtroom claims, settlements or further programming changes in the coming weeks.
