Ángel de Brito confirmed that Beto Casella is leaving El Nueve to join the screen of América TV. The news broke this Monday, November 13, on Los Ángeles de la Mañana (LAM), where the host revealed the first details of the move and the time slot he will occupy.
After more than twenty years at the helm of Bendita, Casella is starting a new chapter in his career. The journalist will be on air during the channel's prime time, in what promises to be one of the most significant moves in television.

According to the details, Casella will terminate his contract with El Nueve in the coming hours. His debut on América TV will be in February and he will go on air right after LAM. "Welcome Beto Casella to América starting next year," De Brito concluded.

A heated exchange before the farewell
Days before the announcement, Beto Casella and Edith Hermida had a tense moment on Bendita. During a debate about Nancy Pazos and Diego Santilli, the host said: "I'm going to get out of here and you know how much you'll miss me".

Hermida replied with irony: "You're not leaving at all". Casella retorted: "When you need help with the rent, you'll come, you'll look for a man like me and I won't be there". Amid laughter, the panelist wrapped up with humor: "Of all the ones you're going to take with you, none is like me".
