History
In January 2021, as its existing morning show Un Nuevo Día continued to face competition from Univision's dominant Despierta América, Telemundo announced that it would replace it with a new program, Hoy Día, beginning February 15, 2021.[1][2]
The new program would be hosted by former Noticias Univision anchor Arantxa Loizaga, Nacho Lozano (coming from Imagen Television in Mexico), and Noticias Telemundo correspondent Nicole Suárez. The first half of the program carries a stronger focus on news headlines and discussion, while the second half is oriented more towards lifestyle and entertainment topics, which are hosted by Adamari López and Stephanie Himonidis, whom continued from Un Nuevo Día.[1][2]
Loizaga stated that Hoy Día would be comparable to Today—its English-language equivalent on NBC, and explained that the program would carry a stronger focus on news content than entertainment. She cited ongoing events impacting the Latino community (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) as justification of the need to provide them "all of the resources that they require to make the right decisions for themselves and their families."[1]

In December 2020, Telemundo's Puerto Rico station WKAQ-TV announced that it would launch a new local morning show in February 2021.[3] On January 5, 2021 it was announced that Ivonne Orsini and Ramon "Gato" Gomez, who at the time worked with rival station WAPA, would be jumping to Telemundo to host the morning show.[4] On January 13, 2021 it was announced that Orisini and Gomez would also be joined by former Senator and WAPA reporter Zoe Laboy as a political reporter.[5]
On January 19, 2021, it was announced that the new program would be branded as Hoy Dia Puerto Rico — a local version of Telemundo's then-forthcoming relaunch of its morning show in the mainland, and that weekend anchor Grenda Rivera and meteorologist Elizabeth Robaina would also be joining the show to host a news segment and a weather/traffic segment respectively. It was stated that the program would have a magazine style format, and air weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.[6]
