Ana Rosa Quintana marks a milestone birthday for a program that has become a daily fixture on the Mediaset morning lineup. On January 10, El Programa de AR will celebrate eighteen years on air, a moment the presenter recalls with vivid clarity: the show began by inviting viewers into a shared space at home, a space where many things could unfold, where emotions were felt, and where television memories took shape. After eighteen years, the host believes that goal has been achieved. Mediaset
After a long journey, the program has matured alongside its audience. It has grown with its viewers, adapting to today’s world while consistently reflecting major political and social events with a steady cadence over nearly two decades. The moment arrives to toast eighteen years of morning television with strong leadership and a national footprint, a show that remains the top choice in morning slots with a robust audience share.

In this anniversary reflection, Quintana notes how El Programa de AR has reshaped television production itself. Looking back, she sees a path that built a recognizable style, a steady rhythm, and a habit of entering and staying in many homes. Achieving that level of familiarity requires honesty, teamwork, and reliability, she observes. Mediaset
For eighteen years, waking up early has yielded rewards in the form of audience loyalty. Quintana expresses pride in returning to the program and reaching a broad audience with the entire team. She acknowledges personal and professional growth achieved through those years, a journey owed to the viewers and the professionals who have joined her in the early hours. Mediaset
The balance of nearly two decades has been overwhelmingly positive for the Madrid journalist. The show began in a time when the younger generation was just shaping its digital habits, amid a digital revolution for television. The team continually reinvented itself, developed a distinctive style, and maintained a presence as technology reshaped the industry. Now, eighteen years later, the program produces live, real-time footage, delivers the news, and provides explanations every morning. This era opened possibilities that once seemed unimaginable. The year 2023 began with the good news of longstanding leadership and the chance to thank the audience and the professionals who have shared in this journey across more than eighteen years of mornings on Spain’s leading television team.
