Ana Rosa Quintana’s return will have to wait: “A big kiss, today more than ever”

“A big kiss Ana, today more than ever,” he said Joaquín Prat live days ago, addressed to his boss. The return of Anna Quintana to his program will have to wait at least a few more weeks. As you have been able to find out Informalia, Everything was ready for the veteran journalist to return after her treatment for breast cancer in mid-September and will take the reins of the space that they are running with great success so far Joaquín Prat y Patricia Brown. But he couldn’t.

The directors of Mediaset assumed that they should delay the reappearance of the star of the chain and empress of the mornings until the first week of October, coinciding with the new programming, but, as they have transferred to this digital, for the moment, his return is delayed sine the.




Ana Rosa, despite the fact that she already goes to meetings at the production company’s headquarters, and regularly meets and talks with Xelo Montesinos, her right hand and general director of Unicorn, “is not prepared to get up early and face the work involved in presenting a program of more than five hours a day,” they explain.

It has been decided to wait a few more weeks. And that they even considered that Ana would only be in one part of the space and delegate another to her colleagues, who are doing great according to the excellent audience data collected, an island in the middle of the disaster to which Telecinco is being dragged by the resounding failures of the docudrama of Rocio Carrasco or the return of George Xavier al prime time, scoring record lows in September. This Friday Deluxe dragged very under a million viewers, humiliated by The voice, Antena 3’s proposal, which practically doubled its rival’s screen share.

For Mediaset the return of Ana Rose it is a necessity. Only the morning format that bears the name of the journalist from Usera avoids an even greater disaster for the listed company that she pilots Paolo Vasile, that lost the game of the audience for eleven months, and Antena 3 takes distance.

The arrival of Ana Rosa after her convalescence was expected because she is needed. In fact, they had even begun to manage impact interviews with which she usually starts each season, including the long-awaited first appearance of Inigo Onieva, but they had to be postponed.

“Ana Rosa is not feeling bad,” according to what people who are close to her tell us. They also tell us that “she is responding very well to the treatment”, but that “she does not stop being a cancer and she has to be fine to spend so many hours in front of the camera”, they tell us. Hence, despite the pothole that Telecinco is going through, no one pressures her to return. “She will do it when she is one hundred percent,” they assure us.
