Resumen
It all began on January 14, 1952. The North American station NBC started up morning television —Breakfast TV— with a program that maintains the top position in the ratings even today, the “Today Show”. Here, and thanks to the influence of their radio namesakes, this type of entertainment program has evolved towards the area of news and its consequences, giving shape to the “magazine” or containing program. Some experts consider them emblems of the “info-show” or “infotainment”. For others, they are the perfect hybrid of genres, forming a “morning magazine of news and current events” which gives a new dimension to television. This genre represents a shift from “paleo-TV” to “neo-TV”, without losing sight of Neil Postman’s statement in 1985: “TV isn’t to educate but rather to entertain.” But who says that one concept conflicts with the other?
