Mario Picazo
This program marks Picazo
's return
to Mediaset after 11 years to take charge of this new challenge, leaving behind his time as a professor at UCLA University in Los Angeles (United States). The scientist and meteorologist faces this new experience with enthusiasm on his return: "I am grateful that Mediaset has opted for a program like this, something new for the house. I know what I am getting on board for, and that we can do something different in a time slot that It has other types of content, it is very good.
All the topics that we are going to address are increasingly interesting
. I am a pure and simple scientist, a meteorologist, but I am also a popularizer, and when they called me, they told me that this was "made for me. A format, in terms of content, that I take on with great enthusiasm."
His partner,
Verónica Dulanto
, has changed
Cuatro al día
for
Tiempo al tiempo
in just one week: "The pace of television is frenetic, I have had a year of many changes. I arrived at Cuatro al día in September, which gave him It happened to my colleague Fernando Díaz de la Guardia (he suffered facial paralysis)... Now, a new challenge. The change has been minimal because the team of both programs is the same, and I already know them. Of course,
I am pragmatic because I don't "You can have a love for the programs
. When you become very fond of them... then they go and end," he admits.
But... What will viewers be able to see in
Tiempo al tiempo
? Picazo explains that "
we have come from going from 7 degrees to 28 degrees in temperature in a week...
This did not happen before: Why? We want to explain it.
We will talk about health, the climate...
and not only about catastrophes and hardships, but the explanations that we can give to people so that the environmental situation can be improved.
We have the task of raising awareness by educating
."
Dulanto, for his part, adds that "it is a different offer, we are going to leave that gap to the present, first because it is the hallmark of the house, also of the production company, and it is important for everything that may happen.
The strip requires it and we want to detach ourselves a little from what is being told in the morning news
, news... And in the afternoon turn towards more social news, because we are interested in what happens to people beyond the day" .
"What we do is more varied, with more content, because there is more time and more live connection"
Mario Picazo
Regarding the comparisons with
Aqui la Tierra
on La 1, Picazo points out that "indeed, there are other programs of this type, there are not so many, although there are more and more.
Here we have the endorsement of the live show and that differentiates us from others
. For the presenter "It is gratifying to interact with people on the street, it gives it more dynamism and brings us to the present. There are days when we will have background content and on another we will be where the news is: a DANA, a heat wave...".
"I have a very good relationship with
Jacob Petrus
(host of
Aqui la Tierra
) and I have even collaborated with his program. It is a program that has evolved over time, it started doing a few things and now, 90% is food. That has given them brought to a specific format and
what we do is more varied, with more content, because there is more time and more live connection
. That is what differentiates us, because it allows us not to be packaged or canned, but to be very current and be at the exact moment to tell things," he concludes.
