It has been a difficult year for Ana Rosa Quintana (66 years old). The presenter had to take several months off work to treat the breast cancer that had been diagnosed. A difficult moment, albeit full of affection, in which she left “The AR program” in the hands of her usual co-hosts: Joaquín Prat, Patricia Pardo and Ana Terradillos. Upon her return, professional good news was only chained to the journalist. Awards, recognitions, good data and, now, a springboard from which to jump to 2023. The production house that she presides is gaining ground and consolidating her position.
When Ana Rosa Quintana told viewers that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and would be taking time to heal, she made it clear that while she wouldn’t be on screen, her work wasn’t going to stop. President of production house Unicorn, Quintana has not lost sight of all her plans during his leave. And is that the tasks of managing one of the companies that currently produce the most hours of television are not easy.
According to a report by ‘Dos30’ which refers to the hours broadcast on La 1, Antena 3, Telecinco, Cuatro and LaSexta, the producer of Ana Rosa has increased its share by 2.25 points compared to the previous year. In other words, it produces one hour out of every five of television broadcasting on general interest channels. A complete success in particularly turbulent times both for companies, in general, and for the audiovisual sector.
Good professional moment for Ana Rosa
“A miracle is that I’m here.” Ana Rosa Quintana has taken over her position on ‘The AR Program’ with huge expectations. The absence of the presenter had logically worried those responsible for the supply chain. The space that Telecinco occupies in the morning has been the protagonist and one of the strengths of Mediaset programming for years. What would have happened without Ana Rosa? The loyalty of her viewers meant that she did not suffer from audiences, although the presenter’s site was difficult to fill.
Since his return, everything has taken its course again. Ana Rosa conducts the program from Monday to Thursday and tries to rest as long as possible on medical recommendation. At her side, always her partner in the production company, Xelo Montesinos. It was she who took the reins during the months in which the presenter had to devote herself to her care. And the result was not negligible.
The production company chaired by Ana Rosa is behind formats such as “El programa de AR”, “Ya es mediodía”, “Cuatro al día” or “Fiesta”. It has also taken its first steps outside the general chains and it seems that it will continue in this way in 2023 that has just begun.
Ana Rosa, recovered from her fight against cancer
A beautiful professional moment that comes to the presenter when she begins to recover from months of operations and treatment for breast cancer. With strength and great desire, Ana Rosa took over her program last October. Thus ended an absence of almost a year in which you won the affection of the public, your colleagues and even the Pope, as you yourself declared.
At her side, always her husband Juan, her children and her strong group of friends who never leave her alone. “Much love in my house, from my husband, my children, my friends. Well, without my friends, everything would have been much more difficult,” she acknowledged in her early days in front of the cameras. If the presenter can boast of anything, it is having a very close personal and family life.
