History

In January 2021, Telemundo announced it would replace Un Nuevo Día with Hoy Día, premiering February 15, 2021. The original hosts were former Noticias Univision anchor Arantxa Loizaga, Nacho Lozano from Imagen Television in Mexico, and Noticias Telemundo correspondent Nicole Suárez. The first half focused on news headlines and discussion, with weather segments by meteorologist Carlos Robles from KTMD in Houston, Texas; the second half covered lifestyle and entertainment topics, hosted by Adamari López and Stephanie Himonidis, who continued from Un Nuevo Día. Loizaga stated the program would be comparable to NBC's Today, with a stronger focus on hard news rather than entertainment and tabloid content, citing the need for information amid events like the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 on-air talent except López, as the program transferred from Noticias Telemundo to the network's entertainment division, repositioning with a variety, news and entertainment format.

Hoy Día Puerto Rico

In December 2020, Telemundo's Puerto Rico station WKAQ-TV announced a new local morning show launching in February 2021. On January 5, 2021, Ivonne Orsini and Ramon "Gato" Gomez, previously with rival station WAPA, were announced as hosts. On January 13, 2021, former Senator and WAPA reporter Zoe Laboy joined as a political reporter. On January 19, 2021, the program was branded as Hoy Dia Puerto Rico, a local version of Telemundo's mainland relaunch; weekend anchor Grenda Rivera and meteorologist Elizabeth Robaina joined to host a news segment and a weather/traffic segment respectively. The show aired weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in a magazine-style format. Five months after premiering, Robaina was promoted to early evening newscasts, with WKAQ chief meteorologist Roberto Cortez moving to Hoy Dìa. During its 2023 Upfront presentation, WKAQ-TV announced Douglas Candelario would join the show; Candelario, who worked over a decade with rival WAPA-TV, brought DIY, home and gardening projects to his segment Cosas de Douglas, airing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:30 a.m. starting December 12, 2022. On January 13, 2023, local radio host Jacky Fontánez was announced as a host after guest hosting for a week; with her arrival, the show debuted a segment called Mi Punto de Vista, where Fontánez joined co-host Ivonne Orsini, news anchor Grenda Rivera and a guest in discussing hot topics.
