Chimes and the various channels are placing bets on their hosting lineups, fueling the countdown with their own flavor. While Antena 3 keeps Cristina Pedroche and Chicote at the center of the broadcast, the network that has long led the December 31 show often tweaks the on-air roster. One of the touted names for 2023 is Jennifer Hermoso, reportedly joining the program as one of the year’s most talked-about figures.
Telecinco and Cuatro have embraced a bold approach this year, pairing Jesus Calleja with his latest TV discovery, Martha Finch, the Big Brother VIP host. La Sexta sticks with a familiar duo, Cristina Pardo and Dani Mateo, expected to add humor to the New Year’s Eve spectacle.
3Cat also made a strong play, lining up Laura Escanes and Micky Núñez to ring in the bells this year. Escanes is well known for amassing a large social media following—nearly two million on Instagram and close to a million on TikTok—before making her mark on television. She previously took part in TV3’s Struggle, finishing third in its third season. Escanes also hosts the podcast Between the Sky and the Clouds for Podimo. Her TV3 appearance came through the show 3Cat’s Journey, and this year she takes a step further into the TV landscape with Campanadas.
Meanwhile, Miki Núñez is no stranger to TV3 audiences. This marks the second year in a row that Chimes has shared duties with others, alongside Mariona Escoda. Núñez, known for his musical career and television appearances, brings both experience and charisma to the event. He rose to fame after competing in the tenth edition of Operación Triunfo, ultimately finishing sixth, and he later represented Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019 with La Venda, placing 22nd.
TV3’s Chimes is a cornerstone of the network’s year-end lineup. In 2022 the program secured a top-tier audience and even surpassed major nets in certain time slots. With the current year’s choices, TV3 aims to maintain and even surpass that strong position, demonstrating its appeal to a wide and diverse audience on one of the year’s most anticipated nights. The strategic moves this season underscore TV3’s commitment to delivering a memorable and inclusive campanadas experience for viewers across Catalonia and beyond.
Laura Escanes’ outfit is drawing attention
The announcement generated buzz among fans of the presenters and regular TV3 viewers alike. The pairing of Escanes with Núñez promised an exciting and unforgettable New Year’s Eve, with anticipation extending beyond Catalonia to a broader audience in Spain.
As is customary, discussion sparked about Escanes’ wardrobe, a topic that previously echoed the chatter around Cristina Pedroche. Even without the final wardrobe details, the promotional trailer for Chimes already stoked conversations about style and presentation on December 31.
