• Better late Iñaki López and Cristina Pardo will be the substitutes for Mamen Mendizába

  • End of stage Mamen Mendizabal leaves Más Vale Tarde after 10 years at the helm

These are times of change in the grills of Atresmedia, especially in those of La Sexta. Mamen Mendizábal's announcement to leave

Better Later

after ten years at the helm has created a domino effect to which a new piece has now joined:

Nuria Roca

. The presenter, who has yet to premiere the

Family Feud

contest

on Antena 3, thus adds a new format to her career and her relationship with the group.

As EL MUNDO has learned and confirmed by Atresmedia sources, the Valencian presenter will be the one to replace Cristina Pardo, who together with Iñaki López will present

Better Later

, on Sunday afternoons. La Sexta will stop broadcasting

Liarla Pardo

and will bet on a "traditional magazine", Atresmedia sources point out, for that time slot. This new program

will be produced by Atresmedia and C Quartz

, who are defining the exact content together with its presenter, although it will not focus as much on politics as its predecessor.

The landing of Nuria Roca in the chain will take place already at the beginning of the next season, in September, because Cristina Pardo will continue with her current project until June. As explained in Atresmedia, the change occurs to "renew" the La Sexta grid and not due to an audience problem at

Liarla Pardo,

which has doubled the audience of that hourly plot.

With this change that Atresmedia intends to introduce on Sunday afternoon in La Sexta, providing more content in the line of the classic magazine, and with the commitment to Nuria Roca, there will be three programs in which the Valencian will continue her career at the same time. This new project; the

Family Feud

contest

,

which, according to sources to this newspaper, will premiere "soon", either in summer or October, and

El hormiguero

, where it will maintain its collaborations.

It was precisely this last program that once again put the experienced presenter, who has a 25-year television career, under the great spotlight.

His replacement for a week of Pablo Motos, infected by Covid, was applauded by a large part of the audience, who even asked that Nuria Roca be given a new program or that he be in front one day in

El hormiguero.

Requests that seem to have partially penetrated the dispatches of Atresmedia.

Saturday nights

Sunday afternoon will not be the only movement they will have to undertake in La Sexta.

The already confirmed departure of Iñaki López heading to

Better late

leaves a gap open on Saturday night that the Atresmedia group must fill in with a new face.

From the group they indicate to this newspaper that the idea that they handle at the moment is that the format of La Sexta Noche remains as it is and bet on a "continuity" policy for that time slot.

In fact, they recall that Iñaki López had to be away for a few weeks due to a health problem related to his eyesight and the political debate remained unchanged during that period.

At that time, it was Hilario Pino who assumed the functions of conductor, but, according to Atresmedia sources, the

decision on the new presenter is not yet closed

and is being studied to be able to announce it as soon as possible for the new season that will begin in September.

The last piece that remains to fit in this game of dominoes in which La Sexta is immersed is that of Mamen Mendizábal.

After announcing her departure from

Better Later, a

program that she has presented for the last decade, the journalist finalizes the details about her new project that has not yet been fully defined but that Atresmedia hope to be able to announce "soon".
