I commend our incredibly talented staff on their great achievement."

“We want families to come together for the entertainment and leave feeling good, and informed. Whether it’s how to approach making a recipe or understanding legal rights, we are addicted to enriching audiences with our original content,” added Astrid Cordoba.

Since its 2015 debut, ADICTIVO tripled viewership for WNJU Telemundo during its Sundays at 10:30 a.m. slot. Its unique brand of high-energy and community-focused morning talk invigorates audiences with relatable and culturally relevant lifestyle content that includes home, health, beauty, fashion, parenting, money, travel and cooking tips, celebrity interviews, musical performances, and empowering information surrounding the critical issues facing today’s Hispanic family.

Fans tune in for exclusive behind-the-scenes access to high-profile events and red carpet chats with entertainment luminaries. The debut seasons featured appearances from chart-topping musicians such as Gloria Estefan, Marc Anthony, J Balvin, Mana, Chiquis Rivera, Angelica Maria, Zion and Lennox, and emerging artists representing various genres from the Latin American diaspora.
