Telemundo Drops Myrka Dellanos as Wave of On-Air Exits Hits Network

Media reports link the staffing cuts to budget restructuring, with no detailed rationale from Telemundo.

Overview

  • Co-host Myrka Dellanos is out at La Mesa Caliente, a change announced on-air by Giselle Blondet at the start of the program.
  • Telemundo issued an official statement confirming Jessica Maldonado’s departure from Al Rojo Vivo and thanked her for her work.
  • Multiple reports say longtime Mexico City correspondent Magaly Ayala was also dismissed as part of the same round of cuts.
  • Dellanos was called to Human Resources just before a recording to be notified of her removal, and she later posted a faith-focused message quoting Romans 8:28.
  • Cristina Porta has been filling Dellanos’s seat on La Mesa Caliente on a temporary basis as programming continues without further explanation from the network.
