  • Ángel de Brito said 12 years would be a suitable point to end the entertainment program LAM, while denying that he plans to leave television or his production company.
  • He said he wants to try something different because repeating the same daily topics can become tiring, not because of the people he works with.
  • De Brito confirmed that LAM will end at some point and said the program is approaching its 2,500th episode.

Ángel de Brito said he believes LAM has reached the kind of milestone that can justify an ending, but he rejected reports that he is retiring, leaving television or being pushed out by the channel.

Twelve years seems like a good time to close LAM, not to end my contract with the production company or the channel, nor to stop doing television.

· Ángel de BritoHe clarified remarks that had been interpreted as an announcement of his retirement or departure from television.

The host clarified that when he said the show “was ready to close,” he meant that 12 years seemed like a good time to end LAM. He stressed that this would not mean ending his contract with the production company or channel. Nor would it mean abandoning television. He said he had seen reports offering every possible version of the story, including that he was leaving and that he had been dismissed.

De Brito said he wants to do something else and is not strongly attached to staying in one job forever. The program has changed repeatedly, especially since he introduced rotating panelists, a format he said gives the show a different rhythm each day. He made a similar point about Bondi, where the panel also changes.

At some point, you get bored.

· Ángel de BritoHe explained why he wants to try something different after years of making daily entertainment programs.

“LAM will end at some point, yes,” he said, adding that 12 years seemed like a good number for its conclusion. The show is also about to reach 2,500 episodes, a figure he said he had recently calculated.

It’s not that I get bored with the people, but with doing the same thing every day. Every day talking about Wanda, every day talking about Tini, about everything.

· Ángel de BritoHe distinguished his fatigue with repetition from any conflict with the show’s panelists.

He explained that his boredom comes from doing the same thing every day, rather than from the people around him. “It’s not that I get bored with the people, but with doing the same thing every day. Every day talking about Wanda, every day talking about Tini, about everything,” he said. He rejected the idea that colleagues such as Jorge Rial or Viviana Canosa were models for a move into political journalism. De Brito said he enjoys gossip and interviews, although the program now includes more debate, live reports and arguments than it did at the beginning.

LAM will end at some point, yes. I think 12 years is a good number to close it.

· Ángel de BritoHe reaffirmed that the program will eventually finish while noting its approaching 2,500th episode.
