This is what the Telefe grid looks like after the end of Popstars

Telefe is preparing a significant change in its programming following the end of Popstars, the musical reality show hosted by Nico Vázquez This Tuesday, November 3, the last episode of the competition will air, and starting Wednesday, November 4, the channel will reorganize its schedule to strengthen its entertainment offering throughout the week

The main novelty will be the return of Pasapalabra, hosted by Iván de Pineda, to the channel's daily programming, after several weeks in which the show was mainly aired on weekends

With this decision, Telefe bets on one of its most established entertainment formats to fill the space left vacant by Popstars, while keeping MasterChef Celebrity as one of the main stars of its nights

Telefe changes its programming: the new schedules for Pasapalabra and MasterChef Celebrity

Starting Wednesday, November 4, Pasapalabra will begin airing from Monday to Thursday at 9:30 PM, immediately after Telefe Noticias

The quiz show will thus regain a prominent place in prime time, while MasterChef Celebrity will maintain its usual airing at 10:15 PM

In this way, the programming from Monday to Thursday will be organized as follows:

• 8:00 PM: Telefe Noticias

• 9:30 PM: Pasapalabra

• 10:15 PM: MasterChef Celebrity

This strategy will allow the channel to maintain a stable structure during the weeknights, combining information, entertainment, and culinary competition

The incorporation of Pasapalabra into the prime time from Monday to Thursday represents the main change in the new schedule, as the show will occupy the slot that until now belonged to the musical reality show

What will happen on Fridays with MasterChef Junior and Pasapalabra

Fridays will have a different organization, with a greater presence of programs aimed at family entertainment

After Telefe Noticias, which will keep its 8:00 PM slot, MasterChef Junior will start at 9:30 PM, becoming the main offering in the first part of the night

Subsequently, Pasapalabra will move to 10:45 PM, while Staff will close the nighttime programming at 11:45 PM

The Friday schedule will be established as follows:

• 8:00 PM: Telefe Noticias

• 9:30 PM: MasterChef Junior

• 10:45 PM: Pasapalabra

• 11:45 PM: Staff

With this modification, the channel seeks to give more space to the children's culinary competition without sacrificing the presence of the show hosted by Iván de Pineda

How the new Telefe programming will be on Saturdays and Sundays

The weekends will also maintain a significant presence of Pasapalabra, which will begin airing seven days a week

On Saturdays, the programming will start earlier with Muro Infernal, which will go on air at 6:30 PM. Then Pasapalabra will follow, followed by PH: Podemos Hablar and Tierras

The Saturday schedule will be:

• 6:30 PM: Muro Infernal

• 8:00 PM: Pasapalabra

• 9:30 PM: PH: Podemos Hablar

• 11:45 PM: Tierras

On Sundays, there will be a similar structure, although with some time modifications

Muro Infernal will start at 6:45 PM, while Pasapalabra will air from 8:15 PM

At 10:15 PM, it will be MasterChef Celebrity's turn, and subsequently, Juego Chino will close the programming

The Sunday schedule will be:

• 6:45 PM: Muro Infernal

• 8:15 PM: Pasapalabra

• 10:15 PM: MasterChef Celebrity

Popstars reaches its finale: who are the eight participants seeking to join Chapeaux

The programming change will occur after the finale of Popstars, the musical reality show hosted by Nico Vázquez, which this Tuesday, November 3, will determine the members of Chapeaux, the new female group emerging from the competition

In the penultimate episode, aired on Monday, November 2, the participants had to face a particularly emotional moment: performing a song alongside a loved one

Some chose to sing with their partners, while others shared the stage with friends or family

After the performances, Nicki Nicole, Ángela Torres, and Charlie García, members of the jury, had the responsibility of selecting the eight participants who will compete for a spot in the band

The chosen finalists were:

• Mía Piñeiro

• Magalí Altamirano

• Kala Bidner

• Juana Distefano

• Oriana Ledesma Castillo

• Sofía Helmich

• Micaela Dobarrio

• María Adolfina Pérez

Meanwhile, Constanza, Lola, and Brisa were eliminated in the round prior to the grand finale

The eight selected participants will compete for the five available spots to join Chapeaux, which will begin a new artistic phase once the program concludes

The strategy of Telefe to maintain ratings after the end of Popstars

The reorganization of the programming responds to the need to fill the space that the musical reality show will leave available and maintain a competitive offering during prime time

In this scenario, Pasapalabra becomes one of Telefe's main bets to sustain the audience, thanks to a format that combines questions, games, and guest participation

The show hosted by Iván de Pineda has demonstrated its ability to adapt to different time slots, so it will now occupy a permanent place in the channel's nights

At the same time, MasterChef Celebrity will retain its 10:15 PM slot from Monday to Thursday and on Sundays, while MasterChef Junior will have a prominent space on Fridays

The strategy will also allow for a stable programming schedule during the weekends, with the presence of Muro Infernal, PH: Podemos Hablar, Tierras, and Juego Chino

The goal is to strengthen continuity between the different shows and prevent the exit of Popstars from creating a void in the nighttime slot

Thus, Tuesday, November 3, will mark the definitive end of the reality show hosted by Nico Vázquez, while Wednesday, November 4, will begin a new phase in Telefe's programming, with Pasapalabra as the star of the seven nights of the week

The performance of the new schedule will reveal whether the channel's bet on its traditional formats manages to maintain viewer interest in the face of competition for ratings
