Jay Fonseca starts on Monday, at 03:20 am a new stage on Wapa TV, with the program The data is the data, a little hurt after his departure from Telemundo.
Last Tuesday, X-rays (Telemundo), which was his space from 2015 until mid-July, began a new cycle with Yolanda Vélez Arcelay, as the main figure.
“I didn’t see it and the reason is that it hurts me, the breakup is still there for me. However, knowing that good people do investigative journalism and good journalism, I have no doubt that it gives a follow-up to what we had started there, “Fonseca acknowledged in an interview with the spokesman.
Listening to this feeling of pain, as both Vélez Arcelay and producer Tony Mojena – last Monday at a press conference – acknowledged their contribution to X-rays, the graduate also commented “like any relationship that ends, one knows that must end, but it does not stop hurting. “
Likewise, his words have been of praise to his colleagues from the now competing channel.
“I didn’t say anything negative, (Luis Enrique) Falú, Yolanda, Valeria (Collazo), Ernie (Cabán) and Osvaldo (Carlo) are good people and I get along perfectly well with everyone. What can I say, if they are all my friends and I love them very much, ”he stressed.
In his new television house, he starts with “a program that will look for ways and means to highlight what I understand are the most important research topics,” he added who will be producing it.
The data is the data will have a news format, but will include entertainment.
“It will be a program mainly of analysis, news commentary and news. But it had elements of comedy and entertainment, the balance is 90% to 10%, it is much more newsworthy,” he advanced.
Twitter personalities will be responsible for the comedy and satire.
“There’s a lot of young talent and we want to bring in some of these rabid tweeters who shoot me to death, come and do it. Let them make their entertainment space, it’s not necessarily traditional comedy,” he abounded, reserving the names. of resources.
Ready for your night space
Meanwhile, it still has no release date for what will be its nightly show on Wapa.
“I wish we were already on the air and it’s taken longer than I expected. We’re missing a little bit. As far as I’ve talked, it’s once a week. There’s been a chance to do it every day, it’s been talked about, “he said.
Faced with the question of whether he will compete on Tuesday, at 10:00 pm, he decided that the decision will fall on Jimmy Arteaga, president of programming, promotions and production.
“When I come here, I knew there was a possibility that this would happen. I think there is room for investigative journalism and everyone will have their own spaces, for the audience to decide,” he explained.
To questions if journalist Milly Méndez will integrate one of her productions, since the spokesman saw her next to part of her team in the corridors of the canal, Fonseca acknowledged “we have a dialogue, but there is nothing final. I would like her to be part of our spaces, but this is a decision of hers “.
Regarding his evolution, from starting on a Christian station in 2002, to his space The Fury on YouTube and then his arrival on television, Jay confessed “I always run scared because there is no such thing as a having the paella grabbed by the handle.If anything life teaches you is that it can end at any time.I am aware that this can end and I run all the time thinking it may end.So let’s try to do the better, evolve and that (channel) change went to that. “
