Ana Rosa loses Beatriz Cortázar, who signs for Antena 3: the end of ‘Save me’ precipitates the war of collaborators

Beatriz Cortazar (Madrid, July 9, 1963) is one of the reference journalists in the social chronicle. She is a professional with a long career, she works and has worked in numerous media, such as Abc or in the pink gathering of Federico Jimenez Losantos, in addition to numerous television programs. But for the majority of the spectators it is one of the usual conversations of Ana Rosa’s program, where he has been going several days a week for 16 years. Now, the Madrilenian gives her career a swerve and changes to Antena 3, where we can see her in different spaces, such as Public mirrorAna Rosa’s direct rival, or, why not, in the evening program of Sonsoles Ónega, which watches over weapons for the battle that comes after the disappearance of Save me and before the new stage that is coming.

The departure of Beatriz Cortázar is the spearhead of a battle that is being fought for collaborators. There is no truce, no white flags. The war has already begun and not only because of knowing who will lead the mornings or the new afternoons of Telecinco and Antena 3 from September, but because of their respective teams.

Quintana has also tempted a Planeta presenter. He has to put all the meat on the grill because the bet to replace Save me it’s too risky for her.

The chains are trying to recruit the best collaborators currently on television to try to scratch a tenth of a share that could be very significant. Quintana has for years in Unicorn with first swords as Antonio Rossi, Marisa Martin Blazquez or his right hand, Miguel Ángel Nicolás. But Informalia It is clear that Atresmedia is receiving offers from Telecinco regulars given the uncertainty of a new stage and some are leaving. Beatriz Cortázar has already signed with Antena 3 but there are others who are negotiating.

But this war for collaborators does not end here. So far the networks have not minded sharing staff, but that’s about to change. As indicated to Informalia people from the sector, “Antena 3 is not going to allow that if a journalist collaborates with them, they can also do it in a Telecinco program. They will have to choose”, they assure us. “And in Mediaset they have also considered it, although deep down, if one of the two puts it into practice, they will no longer be able to collaborate in both chains,” they clarify.

Until now, it was enough to not coincide in the same time slot, and for this reason we could see the same collaborator in a program on Antena 3 in the morning and in another on Telecinco in the afternoon, something that, deep down, drew the attention of the spectators. But this has changed and the war for audiences is going to intensify and they are not going to grant any benefit to the rival. In other words, the gatherings will have to choose between working in the afternoon in TardeAR or sit in the living room And now Sonsoles. Although this also extends to other programs such as Public mirror o Fiesta, among others.

Fernando Ónega’s daughter, as we have already said, has a lot of respect for an animal of communication like Ana Rosa Quintana, for whom she worked for a good season. It is not easy for her, despite the good audience results, to face the one who was her boss and friend for years. Ana Rosa always trusted Ónega as a presenter and put her in charge of a solo program. They even say that she saw her as her successor after her retirement (Ana Rosa is 68 years old, although she looks great). That’s why your treason going to Antena 3, he broke all his plans and, according to some sources, his friendship, if there ever was one beyond the professional.
