Cancel the “Now is it!”

The company producing the program “It’s now! “Announced the highlight of the television space today, after three years at Univision Puerto Rico.

The production company, MasterMind Hub, reported that starting yesterday, Friday, January 15, the business relationship with the station that is transmitted by the WLII signal ended.

The MasterMind Hub contract with Univisión ended on December 31, 2020 and the producers decided not to renew with the new owners, Liberman Media Group. The sale of Univision Puerto Rico was announced in August.

“We at Univision are extremely grateful for the confidence in our vision of healthy, fun and socially conscious content. We managed to establish a style of television that was welcomed by the public, which immediately confessed our loyalty and affection for us. However, given the upheaval we have experienced as a country and as a society, we understand that it is time to start another path. We wish Liberman Media Group and all the staff of the channel success. Our decision is not due to any discomfort, on the contrary, we appreciate the respect they have always given us and the positivism and professionalism that have characterized our working relationship “, the production company said in written statements.

The production announced this week the time change at 14:00 Since Monday, January 18, he has suggested he stay on the channel.

The announcement was made through the social network Instagram, but today the program account is disabled.

Animators of the space Yizette Cifredo and José Santana, are the founders of the production company and, beyond the official statement of MasterMind Hub, they did not share their new plans due to the cancellation of the television space. Both presenters led the space for three years, along with collaborators Brenda Rivera and makeup artist and actor Bryan Villarini.

Prior to the time change, the program had occupied other hours that included 13:00, 15:00 and 17:55

The changes to Univision seem to be the order of business before the new administration.

According to a source close to the companies involved in this transaction, it is expected that with the official change from Univision PR to TeleOnce, the productions that Liberman Media Group already presents on the television stations it owns will be integrated into the programming of this channel. United States. This programming is aimed primarily at Latino audiences on the west coast of the United States.

In the same way, it is likely that some of the local productions that are currently being broadcast will be maintained. To these would be added the production of a news and a morning program. This explains Telemundo’s move to start producing “Morning Show” scheduled to premiere on February 15 as a competitive strategy at the time, dominated so far by Wapa TV’s “Noticentro al Amanecer”.

The sale of Univision PR takes place because the new owners of the Univision network are Searchlight, ForgeLight and Grupo Televisa. Searchlight has interests in turn with Hemisphere Media Group, the owners of Wapa TV. The Federal Communications Commission requested the transaction to avoid congestion on the island’s television stations under the same owner.

However, TeleOnce is committed to continuing to broadcast content from the Univision network.

At the television level, Univision still owns the WOLE channels in Mayagüez and WSTE in Ponce.

Univision kept the WKAQ and KQ105 radio stations, which began to undergo changes from new network owners, such as the departure of Javier Cosme, news and content director for WKAQ 580; and Carlos González, programming director for KQ-105.
