It originally premiered in 2008 as ¡Levántate! (Get Up!), which was produced from Telemundo's studios in Puerto Rico. In 2011, it re-located to Miami with a revamped on-air staff and a larger focus on entertainment content. In July 2012, the program was renamed Un Nuevo Día, after the addition of Adamari López as a new co-host.

In January 2021, Telemundo announced that Un Nuevo Día would be replaced by a new morning show, Hoy Día, beginning February 15, 2021.[1]

History edit

In May 2008, Telemundo announced that it would replace its existing morning show Cada Día (which had struggled in the ratings against Univision's dominant ¡Despierta América!) with a new program, ¡Levántate! The program would be produced from WKAQ in Puerto Rico, and be hosted by Alan Tacher, Erika Garza and Rashel Diaz.[2] The show launched on November 26, 2008.

In 2010, it was announced that Levantate! would be re-located to Telemundo's studios in Miami in 2011, in order to provide greater synergies with Telemundo's other operations, and allow it to be produced in high definition.[3] It broadcast its first edition from Miami on February 28, 2011. At the same time, the program underwent a retool, with a new format that would feature a "balance of information and entertainment ", and a new on-air team featuring Rashel Diaz, Daniel Sarcos, Omar Germenos, Azucena Cierco, and news correspondent Ramon Zayas.[4]

As Un Nuevo Dia edit

On July 16, 2012, Telemundo rebranded Levantate! as Un Nuevo Dia; Puerto Rican actress Adamari López joined the program as an additional co-host.[5][6]

In August 2013, Germenos announced that he would leave the program.[7] Telemundo subsequently hired former Despierta América anchor Ana María Canseco.[8] In 2014, another long-time Despierta América anchor, Neida Sandoval, joined Un Nuevo Dia.[9] In 2016, Sandoval left the program after her contract with Telemundo was not renewed.[10]

In 2015, Un Nuevo Día won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Morning Program in Spanish.[11] The program would win the award again in 2017.[12]

In May 2017, WNJU anchor Janice Bencosme joined the program as its new weather reporter.[13] In June 2018, Guatemalan actor Héctor Sandarti joined the program as a new co-host.[14]

In August 2020, María Celeste Arrarás and Rashel Díaz were laid off from Telemundo as part of a series of cuts by NBCUniversal, leaving Adamari López and Stephanie Himonidis as the remaining anchors.[15][16]
