If we talk about the iconic hosts of the morning show “Mucho Gusto”, it is impossible to leave out Magdalena Montes, journalist who was the first woman to command the morning news Mega. She arrived at Mega in 2001, after a brief stint as a presenter on a TVN program, and she took charge of the morning program which, at that time, lasted 45 minutes and was broadcast only on weekends.
Montes experienced the transition of “Mucho Gusto”, which went from being a short-lived program that was broadcast only on Saturdays and Sundays, to a 4-hour morning program broadcast from Monday to Friday. The journalist had as colleagues Chris Carpentier, Carlo Von Mühlenbrock and finally, to José Miguel Viñuela, who accompanied her until 2008.

The present of Magdalena Montes
In 2013, he founded a communications agency called Reflectin which she serves as director, offering communication advice and oral expression training sessions to companies and independents, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The journalist also gives talks where she helps entrepreneurs with different techniques, “to learn to communicate with confidence, working on one’s own style and overcoming the insecurities of feeling exposed,” she said in a post on the aforementioned social network.
This 2024, Magdalena would return to the media with a cooking competition program that will soon be broadcast on television. And the journalist, despite not having a recurring role on the small screen, has accepted during these years to appear in spaces of this style.
On his Instagram he has a little more than 16 thousand followers, with whom he shares images of his daily life and his new work challenges.
