Cocineros Argentinos might have its new home on TV Pública

According to journalist Juan Etchegoyen on Mitre Live, the show has a high chance of moving to TV Pública. Although it is not yet confirmed, negotiations would be advanced.

"There was also the option of Telefe, but the channel would have decided not to add it to its line-up," Etchegoyen detailed. He also hinted that the show could undergo a significant change in hosting.

Will Carmen Barbieri be the new host of Cocineros Argentinos?

One of the most striking pieces of information that emerged in recent hours is that the production of Cocineros Argentinos would be interested in adding Carmen Barbieri as a host.

Etchegoyen stated that the proposal is already on the table and that the channel's idea is for the show to return in April. "Carmen's name was proposed by TV Pública and now the producer Kapow is working on it," he assured.

What did Carmen Barbieri say about the possibility of joining the show?

The host is in the midst of a professional transition after her departure from Mañanísima on El Trece, which will be replaced by the new magazine Mujeres Argentinas.

Consulted on Polino Auténtico (Radio Mitre), Barbieri confirmed that she was contacted by several channels and was surprised to learn about the rumor regarding Cocineros Argentinos. "I didn't know it was Cocineros Argentinos, I go crazy for that show, it fits me like a glove," she expressed enthusiastically.

She also acknowledged that she has a pending meeting with TV Pública: "Surely they will offer me that, but I didn't know." However, she made it clear that she has not yet made a decision: "I would like to, but I want to see times and conditions. I don't want to leave Mañanísima and do another show right away, I need to rest my face for the people," she joked.
