, one of the contests that attracted the most audience in the afternoons and that was presented by Luján Argüelles.

Atresmedia TV

has reached an agreement with

for the adaptation of this historic television program, as announced at the MIPCOM 2022 international fair in Cannes.

The program is one of the television formats with the longest history.

, it is most likely that the new

will consider such once as a single program in prime time one day a week.
