Laura Bozzo back on America Television

Although it seems incredible, Laura Bozzo's new show will be broadcast by the Peruvian TV Station America Television. Telemundo directors were in charge of the renegotiations. From Monday, September 24, we will have Laura Bozzo back on the Peruvian TV. With this it is clear that things on TV will not change.

"I've met with Jim Mcnamara and he told there was a contract. He talked to America Television executives because he had thought the TV station wanted to cede the rights of the show, according to statements made by one of Telemundo's executives. The directors told me those statements had not been made by America, but by a person who did not represent the TV station's voice, and that they were, in fact, interested in the show. A contract is a contract and there's nothing that can be done against it", said the doctor.

Mcnamara told her that he understood how she felt, but he cleared up that she was an employee of Telemundo and that they could tell her which TV station was going to broadcast her show, that she could not oppose that. If she refused to do so, she would not be on the Peruvian TV, and that would have been against her interests.

"I'd have liked not to be aired by America, but… on the other hand, there're new directors now. I met the new president and he was very kind to me. But I don't belong to America but to Telemundo", said Bozzo, who added, "Marisol (Crousillat) and I have always been good friends. I've always said that she has had to bear a lot".
