Andrea Llosa Severs Ties with ATV After Two Decades, Cites Disagreement Over New Format
Andrea Llosa has confirmed her departure from ATV after nearly 20 years with the network, a move that surprised many in Peruvian television. The announcement, made via Instagram on January 16th and 17th, followed discussions regarding a potential new program format that ultimately failed to reach an agreement, according to Llosa.
Llosa expressed deep gratitude to ATV for the opportunities afforded to her over the years, particularly for the trust placed in her as director and host of both Andrea and Nunca Más, alongside her production team led by Jimena Appiani. “I just said goodbye. I had a very nice conversation and I think that’s how stories should be closed, thanking and with joy, with enthusiasm, with motivation and with the desire to do other things,” she stated in a video posted to her Instagram account.
The journalist explained that ATV had proposed a “new format” following the conclusion of Nunca Más and Andrea. However, despite multiple conversations, the parties were unable to come to terms. “Conversations come and go, and we couldn’t reach an agreement. This isn’t due to the affection and respect that both sides have for each other – I mean the channel and us. So, we simply said no. The moment arrived. We haven’t renewed. We said goodbye,” Llosa shared.
Llosa’s departure includes formally signing off from Nunca Más in December 2025 after 14 years, and from Andrea after more than six years. She emphasized the amicable nature of the split, expressing appreciation for her long-standing production teams.
Despite ending her long run at ATV, Llosa assured her audience that she intends to remain active in television. “After almost 20 years, I say goodbye to ATV. This stage closes, but my path in television continues. We will see each other very soon,” she said, offering no specific details about her future projects.
In her Instagram message, Llosa also highlighted the positive impact of her programs, stating she felt “satisfaction in achieving that many children have a last name” through the work done on Nunca Más and Andrea. She recalled the early days of Nunca Más, when her team began “filming in the street,” and noted that Andrea resolved more than 50% of the cases presented during its six years and five months on air, facilitating 252 conciliatory agreements.
Llosa extended her thanks to lawyer Roberto Miranda, conciliator José Andrés Chuman, and her producer, Jimena Appiani Servat. She also acknowledged ATV’s respect for the creative freedom afforded to her and her team throughout their collaboration. “Grateful, above all, because the channel has always respected our content and has respected us and allowed us to work with absolute freedom,” she concluded.
