Cristina Pardo has returned to Madrid after a summer trip through London and New York, settling back into her home in the Ciudad Lineal neighborhood ahead of her move to Antena 3 with the new weekly current affairs show 'La Mesa' . The program, set to air in prime time after 'El Hormiguero', marks her definitive jump from laSexta, where she spent 20 years, most recently co-hosting 'Más Vale Tarde' with Iñaki López until June 12 . Antena 3 has not yet confirmed the exact premiere date, though Thursday is considered the most likely slot .
'La Mesa' is described as a live program with its own identity, blending information, analysis, and entertainment . It will not be a typical talk show nor a series of independent interviews, but rather a space that brings together the people behind the news to discuss stories in depth . The network emphasizes the premise: "There is another way to talk about what happens" . Pardo's rigor, spontaneity, and humor are expected to set the tone .
Before this new challenge, Pardo enjoyed a summer break, sharing beach photos in early July, then visiting Stonehenge and London, including the Harry Potter platform at King's Cross, before heading to New York . She announced her return to Madrid on August 5, signaling the start of preparations for the show .
