Nico Occhiato continues to respond to the requests of the Luzu audience and has added a new slot to the weekend programming. Joining the existing A PLP, which airs from 11 AM to 1 PM, and Un sábado mejor, from 9 AM to 11 AM, is now Tarde de amigos, a show that will be broadcast live from the studios between 1 PM and 2 PM.
The hosts of the program are Luana Annichini, known as La Gurisa, Evitta Luna, Teo Podolsky, and Juan Cottet. The quartet was chosen to fill the midday with laughter and create a relaxed moment that reaches across the screen.
The debut is confirmed for next Saturday, August 22. The four hosts bring a different perspective on reality, one that is more creative and connected to the digital universe. Teo Podolsky, for example, was the creative director for Ángela Torres in several of her productions.
Juan Cottet, for his part, grew up in an artistic environment: he is the son of musician Lautaro Cottet and theater director Paula Etchebehere. He has participated in productions for platforms like Netflix, Disney, and Star+, including the film Descansar en paz and the series Diario de un gigoló and Amor animal.
Familiar faces and new energies
La Gurisa and Evitta Luna already have experience within the channel. The former shone as a producer for FM Luzu alongside Cris Vanadía and quickly won the audience's affection. Evitta Luna, meanwhile, came from Olga and brought her sharp humor to Luzu's proposal.
With this addition, Occhiato strengthens the Saturday lineup and aims to consolidate a space for relaxed conversation at midday. The program is presented as a commitment to the channel's own community, with hosts who are already part of that core.
The decision comes at a time of changes in the programming. Following the cancellation of El Show del Verano, hosted by Marley and Florencia Peña, the channel sought new alternatives to fill time slots and maintain the pace of live content.
In this context, Occhiato also announced another show for weekdays. On the air of Nadie Dice Nada, he explained that Pollo Álvarez and Mica Vázquez would start from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM with Un Mediodía Mejor, a space designed to uplift the midday with an energy similar to the rest of the lineup.
A commitment to the community
From Luzu TV's social media, the new weekly midday was promoted with a direct message: “They are going to lift your midday, no matter what.” The same logic of closeness and commitment to familiar faces is now being transferred to the weekend with Tarde de amigos.
The premiere this Saturday marks the formal start of a cycle that seeks to differentiate itself through its relaxed tone and the profile of its hosts, all with experience in the digital and audiovisual world. The idea is to create a moment of gathering that combines humor, conversation, and a fresh perspective on what happens on the other side of the screen.
With this addition, Luzu continues to expand its live content offerings and reinforces its commitment to profiles that are already part of its community. Tarde de amigos arrives to occupy a specific place in Saturday afternoons and joins a lineup that already includes established proposals in the same time slot.
The audience will be able to follow the debut this Saturday, August 22, from 1 PM to 2 PM, live from the channel's studios. The expectation is focused on how the quartet will consolidate and the type of relationship they will build with the audience during that time.
