The changes continue at
Mediaset
. This time it was
Four's
turn . With no scheduled date yet, the audiovisual group has announced in a brief statement the cancellation of one of the programs already considered classics of the group's second network,
Cuatro al día
.
The program that Carme Chaparro
,
Joaquín Prat
or
Ana Terradillos
presented at the time and that
Verónica Dulanto
and
Fernando Díaz de la Guardia currently present
,
is going to be cancelled, although it is unknown when its last program will be or the reasons for this cancellation.
Although
Cuatro al día
managed to double the network's audiences in its slot with its arrival in 2019, this season it has been surpassed on many afternoons by
Más vale siempre
, the laSexta program presented by
Iñaki López
and
Cristina Pardo
, reaping as much only 4% screen share on average.
What Mediaset has reported is that its replacement will be a new program that will be produced by
Unicorn Content
,
Ana Rosa Quintana
's production company also in charge of
Cuatro al día
, and that will have as its presenter the man who was the man from Telecinco's El Tiempo.
Mario Picazo
.
The popular meteorologist and presenter thus returns to his home where he was not only in charge of providing weather information but was also one of the first co-presenters of
Survivientes
.
According to Formula TV, the idea is for
Mario Picazo
to present an environmental outreach program, which could be called
Planet Earth
, in a similar format to
Here the Earth
, the climate awareness program that La 1 broadcasts in the afternoons.
With this new project,
Mario Picazo
signs the peace agreement with Mediaset after an abrupt departure. Mario Picazo arrived at Mediaset in September 1995 as head of Meteorology for
Telecinco News
. Between 2007 and 2009 he presented
Survivors
, where he contracted typhoid fever.
In 2008, the first tensions between the presenter and the audiovisual group arose, as Mediaset decided
to outsource the Meteorology service.
Picazo ended up creating his own meteorology services company and had to accept Mediaset's offer to continue working with them.
In addition, Mario Picazo presented and produced the program
Extreme climates
for RTVE, which caused a new confrontation with Mediaset, since shortly after Cuatro broadcast the program
¿Qué do yohere?
Picazo accused the chain of plagiarism due to its similarity to
Extreme Climates
. A year later, in 2014, Picado and Mediaset broke their relations. Ten years later the meteorologist returns to his house.
