Hoy Día (Today, stylized as hoyDía) is an American (Spanish language) morning television show broadcast by Telemundo. The show is broadcast from Telemundo Center in Miami, and is hosted by Adamari López. It premiered on February 15, 2021, replacing Telemundo's previous morning show Un Nuevo Día.
History
In January 2021, Telemundo announced that it would replace its existing morning show Un Nuevo Día (which had continued to face competition from Univision's dominant Despierta América) with a new program, Hoy Día, beginning February 15, 2021.[1][2]
The new program would be hosted by former Noticias Univision anchor Arantxa Loizaga, Nacho Lozano (coming from Imagen Television in Mexico), and Noticias Telemundo correspondent Nicole Suárez. The first half of the program carries a stronger focus on news headlines and discussion, with weather segments provided by meteorologist Carlos Robles (coming from KTMD in Houston, Texas), while the second half is oriented more towards lifestyle and entertainment topics, which are hosted by Adamari López and Stephanie Himonidis, who continued from Un Nuevo Día.[1][2]
Loizaga stated that Hoy Día would be comparable to Today—its English-language equivalent on NBC, and explained that the program would carry a stronger focus on news content than entertainment. She cited ongoing events impacting the Latino community (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) as justification of the need to provide them "all of the resources that they require to make the right decisions for themselves and their families."[1]
On November 18, 2022 it was announced that the show would be going on hiatus due the ongoing coverage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup from which Telemundo would be broadcasting live games from Qatar during the hoyDia's time slot. As the show went off air, Telemundo announced a restructuring of the show's talent that saw most of the show's on-air staff either be laid off or relocated to a different show. Talent such as Rebeka Smyth, Stephanie Hidimodis, and Chef Alfredo Oropeza are no longer with the network, while Nacho Lozano, Carlos Robles, and Quique Usales will be relocated to work on Noticias Telemundo. Adamari Lopez (who's been hosting the show since its original iteration) is the sole remaining host of the show at the moment with Telemundo withholding details on the future of the show until after the World Cup coverage ends, only confirming the show will no longer be produced by its news division but rather its entertainment division as they look to move away from the focus on hard news stories.[3][4][5][6][7]
The show is set to return December 5, 2022 to its original time slot with the return of Adamari López, joined by Andrea Meza, Penelope Menchaca and ChikyBombom. Meza (Miss Universe 2020) would be leaving her position on En Casa Con Telemundo, whereas for Menchaca this would mark her return to American television after being working for TV Azteca in México.[8]

In December 2020, Telemundo's Puerto Rico station WKAQ-TV announced that it would launch a new local morning show in February 2021.[9] On January 5, 2021 it was announced that Ivonne Orsini and Ramon "Gato" Gomez, who at the time worked with rival station WAPA, would be jumping to Telemundo to host the morning show.[10] On January 13, 2021 it was announced that Orisini and Gomez would also be joined by former Senator and WAPA reporter Zoe Laboy as a political reporter.[11]
On January 19, 2021, it was announced that the new program would be branded as Hoy Dia Puerto Rico — a local version of Telemundo's then-forthcoming relaunch of its morning show in the mainland, and that weekend anchor Grenda Rivera and meteorologist Elizabeth Robaina would also be joining the show to host a news segment and a weather/traffic segment respectively. It was stated that the program would have a magazine style format, and air weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.[12] 5 months after the show premiered, WKAQ-TV promoted Robaina to the early evening newscasts, with WKAQ chief meteorologist Roberto Cortez moving to Hoy Dìa.
