Unicorn Content, known for formats such as “Ana Rosa’s Schedule” and “Party,” has decided to end its contract with Martha Riesco. The decision comes after a long-standing professional relationship that began in 2017, when Riesco joined Telecinco’s morning magazine as an editor. The production company, under the leadership of Ana Rosa Quintana, opted to move in a new direction and discontinue their collaboration with the veteran reporter.
In recent weeks, Riesco has been at the center of intense public discussion, which appears to have precipitated the termination of her contract with Unicorn Content. The development was reported this morning by El Confidencial TV and was subsequently confirmed by Riesco herself on her social media channels, signaling a formal public acknowledgment of the change. The timing and manner of the disclosure have drawn attention from viewers and industry observers alike.
Riesco issued a statement indicating that she had received formal notification from the company and that the matter is being handled through disciplinary channels. She noted that she would reserve further comments about the reasons provided by the company, stating that she was not satisfied with the basis for the decision as explained by management. The message underscored a paused stance, with the reporter refraining from elaborating further until the process advances.
According to Riesco, the dismissal is currently being challenged through a court procedure. She indicated, with guidance from her legal counsel, that she would not discuss subsequent steps in the ongoing judicial process, and that any updates would come as the case unfolds in the coming months. This approach keeps the focus on the legal proceedings rather than on public commentary, at least in the near term.
As the situation develops, Riesco expressed gratitude toward her colleagues at Unicorn Content and the Mediaset network for the experiences shared over the years. She acknowledged the support she has received from people who have shown solidarity during what she described as a completely unexpected and especially challenging moment. Her remarks hinted at the broader impact of such personnel decisions on relationships within the industry and on the professional ecosystem surrounding high-profile productions.
