Ana Rosa Quintana is one of the most prominent journalists in our country. With more than four decades of work in the media behind her, the presenter has established herself as one of the audience’s favorite communicators.
Today, Friday, January 12, Quintana turns 68 years old. It is a very special birthday for the Madrid native, since 2023 has been an intense year in which she has experienced a series of incredible changes, as well as different experiences that she will never be able to forget.
After 19 years at the helm of her own program on Telecinco, Ana Rosa’s program, the new leadership of the communication group asked her to make a jump to the afternoons to try to fight against Y Ahora, Sonsoles and other programs that led that slot. .
Quintana did not hesitate and accepted the challenge. Although the audience data is not what was initially expected, Joaquin Prat’s friend is happy to continue growing professionally and to touch new informative buttons.
Adored by some and criticized by others, Ana Rosa Quintana does not leave viewers indifferent. Her way of making her journalism, her traditional values ??and her fierce political criticism in the different spaces that she has presented have placed her in the spotlight more than once, something of which that she is deeply proud of her.
It should be noted that the communicator will not celebrate her 68th anniversary on the small screen, since she agreed with the network’s bosses that she would not have to work on Fridays and would thus enjoy a longer ‘weekend’ to be able to spend more time with his family and friends. Instead, we can see Frank Blanco every Friday on TardeAR.
If we talk about Ana Rosa’s origins in television (she had already worked in radio before), we have to go back to 1980, when she presented 625 lines with Pedro Mari Sánchez. However, her career took off in 1982, the year in which she was hired to host the nightly edition of the TVE news program alongside Alberto Delgado. After living for several years in New York and working as a correspondent, Quintana returned to Spain and established herself as one of the most eloquent presenters in the industry.
Her way of communicating opened the doors to having her own programs, which (sometimes) had her own name: Sincerely Ana Rosa Quintana, Extra Rosa, Ana Rosa’s program, TardeAR, etc. 44 years after her debut, Quintana remains on the front line of television, an achievement within the reach of very few figures in the history of our country.
