An internal conflict is shaking El Nueve after a host became upset about the channel's decision to modify its programming schedule. The controversy revolves around the cancellation of "Escuela de Cocina" and the broken promise of hosting a new show.
The situation was revealed by Paula Varela on Intrusos (América TV), while Eugenia Tobal herself confirmed on air that her culinary magazine was taken off the air after low audience numbers.

The host's complaint over a broken promise
According to Varela, Robertito Funes Ugarte is "outraged and betrayed" because he had been promised the new format that would replace "Escuela de Cocina".
The anger deepened when the channel decided to bet on another host for the dating show that will occupy the afternoon time slot. The news caused discomfort among media personalities who were expecting that opportunity.
Why "Escuela de Cocina" ended
This Tuesday, February 25, Tobal confirmed that her show will end this Friday by decision of El Nueve. The decision responds to the low audience levels recorded, according to the host's explanation.
