The program "El Intermedio" achieved this Thursday a significant milestone by reaching its 3,000th broadcast on La Sexta. To celebrate this achievement, the host Gran Wyoming ceded the opening of the program to his friend Juan Diego Botto, who took the microphone and delivered a moving monologue. Botto, aware of the impact of his intervention, expressed his 'great power' and responsibility to address a mass audience, highlighting the importance of keeping the viewers' attention at a time when television is facing fierce competition.
