As we told you, Univision announced in the last upfront that ‘Wake up America ‘ , one of the most successful shows of the chain, now it would extend one more day: Sundays .
However, from that moment on everything was handled with great secrecy… When will it start? How long will it last? and most importantly, who will be your presenters? Next we will tell you everything.
Although the announcement has not yet been made officially, we can confirm, unofficially, that ‘Despierta América’ on Sunday would have the premiere date of 16 of September , would last two hours and, although it would maintain the spirit of the week, it would be very different .
Who will drive it? Here is the surprise, although at some point It was rumored that they would be Karla Martínez and Alan Tacher, the hosts of the Sunday version are María Antonieta Collins, Jackie Guerrido and Raúl González .
Yes, Jackie returns to ‘Wake up America’ , show in which for a long time hos years was in charge of giving the weather report . More than 10 years later, but as a presenter and in this new format .
But, as far as we learned that space Jackie would have fought it with others colleagues who had also auditioned hoping to be chosen. Who is it? Maity Interiano, Karina Banda and Aylen Del Toro .
Let’s remember that the Puerto Rican reappeared just a few days ago, after having given COVID – 19 positive together with other colleagues such as Borja Voces
What would be the content? Although many imagined that would have a news tint , and more if we think of Marie Antoinette Collins as one of the co-presenters, would not be that way, because for them it is already ‘Al Punto’, with Jorge Ramos .
According to what we were able to find out, unofficially, it would have the purest essence of the show: help , provide a service and entertain . Something that has a lot to do with the spirit of one of the three presenters: Raúl González and what he always defines as the ‘sions’ of his life,’ passion, profession and mission ”…
Why did Univision decide to extend the show at the risk of saturating the public? This would have been the idea of outgoing news president Daniel Coronell , and taken over by the current president of the chain, Luis Silberwasser . The intention would be to take advantage of a registered and proven successful brand.
‘Despierta América’ is one of Univision’s oldest shows and the one that has always remained number one in its schedule above its most direct competitors , such as Telemundo, and even some American networks .
Will it work? , if the public will want to wake up with the ‘happiest house on Hispanic television’ also on Sunday? If the reports, surprises, interviews and help to the community will conquer on the most familiar day of the week? That only time will tell, and we will tell you .
