María Casado's departure from Telecinco

Entities: María Casado · Spain · Carmen Corazzini · Mediaset · Telecinco

Overview

On July 20, 2026, journalist María Casado said she would temporarily step away from Telecinco’s weekend Informativos to address personal matters and the strain of commuting between Málaga and Madrid. Three days later, on July 23, she confirmed a permanent exit, signing an agreement with Mediaset that lets her spend more time with her daughter and develop new projects with the regional broadcaster Canal Sur in Málaga. The departure, framed as a family‑driven move, was noted alongside her role as chair of the Spanish TV Academy and her long‑standing ties to RTVA leadership.

On July 26 Casado presented her final weekend bulletin, becoming emotional as she thanked viewers and expressed hope of returning to a new project. She reiterated that personal and conciliatory reasons, particularly the travel burden, motivated the decision. Telecinco announced journalist Carmen Corazzini as her immediate replacement for the weekend slot beginning in August, with the network indicating the change may be temporary or evolve into a permanent arrangement.
