Hoy Día
Hoy Día (Today) is an American Spanish-language morning television show broadcast by Telemundo. The show is broadcast from Telemundo Center in Miami, and is hosted by Penelope Menchaca, Andrea Meza, Lisette Eduardo, and Daniel Arenas.
The series premiered on February 15, 2021, replacing Telemundo's previous morning show Un Nuevo Día. It initially had a news-based format comparable to its English equivalent Today on sister network NBC, and was produced by the network's news department Noticias Telemundo. In November 2022, Telemundo moved the program to its entertainment division; after a hiatus for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the show was relaunched in December 2022 with an entertainment-driven format.

History
In January 2021, Telemundo announced that it would replace its existing morning show Un Nuevo Día (which had continued to face competition from Univision's dominant Despierta América) with a new program, Hoy Día, beginning February 15, 2021.The new program would be hosted by former Noticias Univision anchor Arantxa Loizaga, Nacho Lozano (coming from Imagen Television in Mexico), and Noticias Telemundo correspondent Nicole Suárez. The first half of the program carried a focus on news headlines and discussion, with weather segments provided by meteorologist Carlos Robles (coming from KTMD in Houston, Texas), while the second half was oriented more towards lifestyle and entertainment topics, which were hosted by Adamari López and Stephanie Himonidis, who continued from Un Nuevo Día.Loizaga stated that Hoy Día would be comparable to Today—its English-language equivalent on NBC, and explained that the program would carry a stronger focus on news content than entertainment. She cited ongoing events impacting the Latino community (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) as justification of the need to provide them "all of the resources that they require to make the right decisions for themselves and their families."

2022 revamp
On November 18, 2022, Hoy Día went on hiatus for Telemundo Deportes coverage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. During the hiatus, Telemundo laid off or reassigned nearly all of Hoy Día's on-air talent (aside from López). This came amid the transfer of the program from Noticias Telemundo to the network's entertainment division, which would reposition it with a "variety, news and entertainment format".On November 30, 2022, Telemundo announced that Hoy Día would be relaunched with its new format on December 5, 2022, with López joined as host by Penelope Menchaca, Lissette "Chiky Bombom" Eduardo, Miss Universe 2020 winner Andrea Meza, and rotating guest panelists. After featuring guests hosts for over a month, it was announced on January 24, 2023, that actor Daniel Arenas would be joining the show as a permanent co-host. Arenas officially joined the program on January 25, 2023. On April 6, 2023, it was announced that Adamari López would be leaving the show after 11 years on the network. López was the last holdout from the shows previous eras as she was one of the original hosts of Un Nuevo Dia and the only one to not leave the show after the 2022 revamp. On a written statement Telemundo reiterated this was a mutual decision taken between López and the network and that they were grateful at López's dedication to her role in Telemundo.
