Nicolas Repeat on Eltrece's plans for prime time

Nicolás Repetto is poised to return to television screens through a planned prime-time slot on Eltrece, according to reports from local media. The project, which would mark his formal comeback to the entertainment genre and the channel, has been the subject of intense speculation in recent days. If finalized, the initiative would involve Repetto hosting a new game show format, with production beginning towards the end of this year and the program slated to air on January 4th, 2027. This potential return comes after more than eight years since Repetto last appeared on television, during his brief tenure as host of El noticiero de la gente on Telefe in 2018, a role that did not meet expectations and led to his departure from mainstream media. Eltrece, the network behind the programming shift, has already begun outlining its strategy for the summer months and early part of 2027. At present, the production company Kuarzo is positioned to lead the prime-time schedule from 9 p.m. onwards. Following the completion of the second season of Es mi sueño, a popular reality series featuring celebrities that debuted this week, there are plans for the revival of Los 8 escalones, a long-running quiz show hosted by Guido Kaczka. For this new season, the successful format will move to afternoon hours, running from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., once the current season of Ahora caigo, hosted by Darío Barassi, concludes. Meanwhile, rumors have intensified regarding advanced discussions between Repetto, Eltrece’s management, and Kuarzo regarding his possible return. These conversations suggest a high-level agreement could soon be reached, though no official confirmation has yet been issued. The proposed show would be described as a large-scale game show, designed to attract wide audiences and align with the network's ambitions for the upcoming season. In addition to these developments, América TV is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a special programming block. On Sunday, the channel will feature an edition of Pasión de Domingo, a classic music-focused show, starting at 2 p.m. and concluding at 4 p.m., hosted by Alejandro Beltzer. This special edition follows the regular Pasión de Sábado broadcast, which continues at its usual time from 1 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. Later in the day, from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., América TV will present Especiales América 60 Años, a tribute to the channel’s history, led by Daniel Ambrosino. The segment will focus on Moria Casán, highlighting her contributions to the network over the decades. Blender, the streaming platform under Cale Group, has also announced new programming additions. Pamela David will launch her weekly interview series En Subida on Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m., starting August 25th. Meanwhile, Martita Fort will debut her weekly show Fort Night Show on Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m., beginning August 26th. Designed for social media engagement, the show will blend current affairs with interviews, offering a dynamic and interactive format aimed at generating viral moments. The inclusion of these two prominent figures underscores Blender’s continued investment in content tailored for online platforms and its strategic emphasis on digital entertainment. The ongoing shifts in programming across major networks reflect broader trends in media consumption, with a growing emphasis on both traditional and digital formats. As Eltrece prepares for its new season, América TV marks a milestone in its history, and Blender expands its offerings, the landscape of Argentine television continues to evolve. With Repetto potentially returning to the screen, the coming months promise further changes and opportunities within the industry.
