The death of Cristina Pacheco this December 21 at the age of 82 took by surprise all those who closely followed her career for more than 50 years, which just a few weeks ago she had put on pause.
It was last December 1 when the journalist said goodbye to television in what she thought would be temporary, since she was going through a complicated health situation at that time. Until yesterday, one of her daughters revealed that it was cancer.
Cristina Pacheco was an iconic figure of journalism in Mexico, especially in genres such as chronicle and interview, with which she allowed the audience to learn more about everyday life in Mexico City and some prominent entertainment figures.
Conversing: What was Cristina Pacheco’s program about?
Unlike Here we had to live, the program where Pacheco showed a portrait of the reality that people lived every day, especially in Mexico City (formerly the Federal District), had another where he was not on the streets.
This is Conversing with Cristina Pacheco, a broadcast where the journalist interviewed renowned showbiz and entertainment personalities who allowed themselves to show themselves in a different way.
The official synopsis says the following: “One of the most iconic series in Mexico, in which Cristina Pacheco, extraordinary journalist and host, turns her gift of conversation into a television program attended by famous personalities, who with their work and talent have left their mark on the events of our country.”
Conversing with Cristina Pacheco was broadcast every Friday in prime time, at 8:00 p.m. on Canal Once.
Cristina Pacheco’s last program: This is how the TV journalist said goodbye
Three weeks ago, on Friday, December 1, the Conversando con Cristina Pacheco program had as guests Orquesta Basura, an independent musical project that uses instruments built from recycled material and everyday artifacts.
When the broadcast was about to end, Cristina decided to say goodbye to the viewers who accompanied her week after week on her programs.
“Today I have to learn to face something that life is throwing at me. “It’s hard, I’m going to do it: For health reasons, serious health reasons, I have to suspend (at least momentarily) these conversations,” she said with a broken voice, while receiving comfort from her guests.
At the end of the program, he said goodbye in a different way, as he did not promise to see his audience again like every week, but he did say he would accompany them at all times.
“We are reaching the end of this broadcast and I am not going to say as always: ‘See you next Friday to continue talking’, but I am going to say that we will always be together,” Cristina Pacheco concluded.
Minutes later, the social networks of the Canal Once program published a message to fire the communicator.
“The end of an era. We bid a fond farewell to our beloved Cristina Pacheco, who today announced that she is retiring from public life after more than 50 years giving life to endless stories. We hug you with love from all the collaborators of Once.”
