On June 2, Mexican actor Arath de la Torre Balmaceda teased his fans with an Instagram snapshot declaring, “Listo para arrancar con todo @programahoy 👊🏻.” The post, which features the star flashing a confident fist in front of a morning-show set, signals his upcoming role on Televisa’s long-running magazine program, Programa Hoy, making headlines among his followers.

In the photo, Arath sports a crisp navy blazer over a white tee, standing before the cameras with a determined grin. The caption—when translated—reads: “Ready to kick off with full force on Programa Hoy,” capturing the actor’s high spirits as he gears up for the new season.

A Morning Show Makeover

Programa Hoy has been a staple of Mexican breakfast television since its 1998 debut, blending lifestyle segments, entertainment news and celebrity interviews. Arath’s arrival marks the latest addition to the show’s rotating team of hosts and guests who bring fresh energy to its weekday broadcast on Las Estrellas.

From Telenovelas To Morning Tv

Born in Mexico City on October 18, 1975, Arath de la Torre built his career in the late ’80s with roles in Televisa telenovelas and comedy series. His breakout came with the youth drama Rebelde (2004) and the hit sitcom La Fea Más Bella (2006). Most recently, he has been lauded for his performance as Plutarco López in the family comedy Una Familia de Diez, a role that earned him praise for his comedic timing.

Culinary Ventures And Beyond

This won’t be Arath’s first foray into Programa Hoy’s lineup. In May, he teamed up with chef Mauricio Báez to launch #HoySoyElChef, a cooking segment designed to bring lighthearted competition to morning viewers. In an Instagram post on May 26, Arath wrote (translated): “The sea’s current brings a team ready to conquer… On #HoySoyElChef @mbezares and @arathdelatorre form Team Marath! Big premiere May 26 on Programa Hoy.” Fans responded enthusiastically, noting the chemistry between the actor and the chef as they prepared to whip up signature dishes live on air.

Beyond television, Arath maintains a busy stage schedule. Last month, he celebrated 50 performances of his one-man show, Las Rapresidenta, at Mexico City’s Teatro Royal Pedregal. His Instagram feed offers glimpses of rehearsals and backstage moments, underscoring his versatility across media.

As morning viewers look forward to new segments, Arath’s multifaceted career—from drama and comedy to culinary fun—promises to keep Programa Hoy as engaging as ever. His blend of humor, warmth and stage experience is expected to add a dynamic element to the show’s daily mix.

Fans eager for a closer look at the actor’s preparations can follow his updates on Instagram, where he continues to share behind-the-scenes stories. With the latest announcement, Arath de la Torre has set the stage for a busy season on one of Mexico’s most-watched morning programs, and his followers are already counting down the days until the cameras roll.
