Viaje al centro de la tele has become one of the most prominent compilation formats on Spanish Television. Along with Cachitos de hierro y cromo, this program that recalls programs and television figures from the past allows one to look back in a relaxed way and, depending on the consumer's preference, to chain several consecutive editions in the form of a marathon to keep the day busy. The different themes offer a great visual variety, and the last one is no exception.
This coming Wednesday, August 16, starting at 11:30 p.m., La 1 will broadcast a new chapter of the program narrated by Santiago Segura, corresponding to the seventh installment of its twelfth season. On this occasion, the space will be dedicated to one of the most recognized figures on television in Spain in recent decades, who also had a notorious career and great moments on the public channel: Mercedes Milà.
The communicator from Esplugues de Llobregat began her television career in 1974, presenting the Sports Center program. Her first big break came four years later, in 1978, when she was assigned the task of commanding Dos por dos alongside Isabel Tenaille. Other spaces that she directed Milà during her stay on RTVE were Good night, Thursday to Thursday or Next Tuesday, before she returned as a guest on La noche D and Las tres puertas.
From all this material you can see a summary of Milà's career on Radio Televisión Española, before making the leap to Antena 3 with the renowned Queremos saber. The program anticipates several of the moments that it will share during its broadcast, such as the interviews that Mercedes conducted with Adolfo Suárez, Vargas Llosa, Camilo José Cela, Isabel Pantoja, Paco Umbral or El Fary, as well as various instances that it had throughout its race with Miguel Bosé.
Although she will be the protagonist of this Wednesday in Viaje al centro de la tele, Mercedes Milà, she has been away from the world of television for some time. The presenter opened up to the Sálvame Deluxe team in the last program in her history, highlighting her battle against depression. "It took me years to understand that depression is chronic and you have to fight it," she confessed, while she admitted to having gone through three different depressions.
Despite this, the presenter from Esplugues de Llobregat knows perfectly how to deal with it. “Feed well, go to the psychologist, I have a naturopath… and a support system that covers you when you don't need to be alone. When you are in such a bad way, like the people who are listening to us, it is finding the light at the end of the tunnel and I have found it, ”she explained.
