Leo Dias to end daily hosting of Melhor da Tarde in 2026
Journalist and presenter Leo Dias has announced that he will step down from his daily hosting duties on Band TV’s program ‘Melhor da Tarde’ at the end of 2026. The decision is driven by a desire to reorganize his personal life and reduce the exhaustion caused by three hours of daily live broadcasting.
Dias plans to relocate his primary residence to Pernambuco, intending to split his time between the Northeast and São Paulo. While he will leave the daily routine of the afternoon show, he will not leave the network. He intends to maintain a presence on ‘Melhor da Tarde’ through sporadic appearances and remote links.
Additionally, Dias is set to lead a new prime-time project for Band titled ‘Dossiê Celebridades,’ a documentary-style format focused on the lives of celebrities. Band presenter Joel Datena expressed relief regarding the announcement, clarifying that Dias is not leaving the network but rather transitioning to new projects and a different lifestyle.
