o not worry. The familiar Informative telecinco is taking a new shape after more than 17 years on air. The news program will shed the silhouette that has defined its brand since August 2006 and will unveil a refreshed image starting in January. The change signals a broader refresh across the network, aligning the newsroom with contemporary presentation styles and a more streamlined on-screen look that resonates with audiences in Canada and the United States as well as Spanish-speaking viewers abroad.

The transformation actually began this past Saturday, when José Ribagorda and White Angels opened the news from the control room rather than the traditional anchor desk. That move behind the scenes foreshadows a faster, more dynamic presentation in 2024, with on-air updates and field reporting integrated into a cohesive newsroom experience. It marked the first concrete step in a restructuring effort that aims to modernize the channel and deliver clearer, more immediate storytelling to viewers across North America.

Noticias Cuatro returns

Looking back to September, it is remembered that FesTVal announced a reinvention plan for Mediaset in Valencia: the brand
s Noticias Cuatro would be revived. The relaunch is planned for January next year, signaling a renewed rivalry in the broadcast landscape and a fresh option for audiences seeking distinct, fast-paced news coverage. The revival is positioned to compete with other major news brands by emphasizing timely reporting, regional perspectives, and multilingual accessibility for diverse North American audiences who follow European networks closely.

Francisco Moreno, new news director

In tandem with these changes, the private broadcaster announced a leadership shift in its editorial team. Francisco Moreno has joined the groups news department, bringing a track record of project leadership and editorial stewardship. Moreno steps into a role after a long career as a principal editor, guiding newsroom strategy and program development. His prior experience includes responsibilities at RTVC through 2019, with recognition for high-quality news coverage in 2021 and the Waves Award for informative reporting on significant events such as the Cumbre Vieja eruption. The new director is expected to steer the network toward clearer, more authoritative reporting while expanding regional and international coverage that appeals to Canadian and American viewers who follow Spanish media closely.

The arrival of Moreno signals a broader commitment to robust newsroom governance, stronger anchors, and a refreshed approach to investigative reporting, weather tracking, and international correspondents. Viewers in North America can anticipate consistent updates, improved visual storytelling, and a newsroom culture that values accuracy, speed, and adaptability in a rapidly changing media environment. The leadership change is framed not merely as cosmetic but as a strategic move to enhance the credibility and reach of the network in a bilingual, transatlantic media space.
