Ana Morgade has publicly confirmed what YOTELE reported last Tuesday: the popular late-afternoon program Yu: don’t miss anything will bid farewell after nearly ten years on two of Spain’s leading radio networks, Los 40 and Europa FM. The farewell line is simple and direct: we are not on vacation; we are moving on to Parito, Amparito, signaling a new phase ahead for the team and the audience alike.
Over the past decade Morgade has helped shape the show’s voice with a blend of humor and warmth that has defined the format since its 2012 inception. The host notes that the journey has been more than a job – it has built a community and, for many, formed a kind of family around the microphone. The laughter and spontaneity that have characterized the program are described as foundational, with Morgade reflecting that the dream began as a three-year plan that somehow stretched into a long, shared chapter. Dani Mateo is credited with kicking off the project, while Morgade jokes about her own role in sustaining it over the years.
Looking ahead, Morgade expressed optimism about future endeavors. She sees new phases beyond the current show and speaks of a talent pool that can be supported by the experience the format has generated. The sentiment echoes a sense of continuity in the local radio ecosystem: the team feels confident that their work has created something lasting, even if the specific program is ending. It is described as an opportunity to celebrate the best moments while inviting new ideas to take the stage in the coming seasons.
YOTELE had previously reported that Europa FM plans to discontinue the current lineup linked to Vodafone Yu for the upcoming season, signaling a strategic shift away from a brand aimed at younger listeners. The decision aligns with a broader reorganization in the broadcaster’s approach to youth-oriented programming, and it sets the stage for fresh concepts to fill the schedule after the contract ends.
When the air date of the final program approaches, listeners can expect a special broadcast that revisits the most memorable moments created by the team behind Yu: don’t miss anything. This retrospective will honor the voice and energy that defined the program during its tenure under the Animal Maker umbrella, a collaboration that brought together Toni Garrido and Celia Montalbán to support innovative radio moments. The producers emphasize that the closing show will be a tribute to the audience who joined the journey from the start and stayed through the years of live interaction and entertainment.
The operational shift reflects Vodafone’s broader strategy to recalibrate its brand presence among diverse age groups. The focus appears to be on redefining how the company engages with listeners who are venturing beyond the traditional radio landscape and into new media experiences. While the specific program may end, the momentum built by Yu: don’t miss anything suggests that the team behind it will continue to contribute to Spain’s dynamic radio culture with new formats and collaborations in the future.
The evolution began in October 2012, when the show debuted on Los 40 with Dani Mateo at the helm, broadcasting live from 17:00 to 20:00 and streaming online. Across all chain stations, the evening slot was delayed to 21:00, allowing a broad audience to join the conversation. The scheduling shift in 2016 moved the live broadcast to 14:00, and in 2019 the program joined the Atresmedia Radio lineup, keeping a consistent presence through the years. As of the current season, the show remains anchored at 17:00, continuing to connect hosts, guests, and listeners with its characteristic energy. The evolution of the program mirrors the broader changes in national radio, where legacy formats adapt to new platforms while preserving the human connection at the core of listening culture.
