Carla Jara will join the hosting team of TVN’s cultural program Chile Conectado, replacing María Luisa Godoy.
This transition marks a significant shift in the network's cultural programming and talent allocation. By moving Godoy to a high-profile competition format and introducing Jara to the cultural space, TVN is diversifying its on-screen presence across different genres.
The appointment was announced June 24, 2026 [1]. Jara will step into the role as co-host alongside Simón Oliveros, maintaining the program's focus on Chilean culture and connectivity.
The vacancy was created because María Luisa Godoy is transitioning to a new role as the host of Masterchef Chile [1]. This internal shuffle allows the network to leverage Godoy's popularity in a competitive reality setting while bringing Jara's perspective to the cultural show.
Chile Conectado serves as a platform for exploring the various regions and cultural identities of Chile. The addition of Jara is expected to bring a new dynamic to the partnership with Oliveros as they continue to document the nation's heritage.
TVN has not released specific premiere dates for the new hosting duo, but the announcement confirms the strategic move to reorganize its primary entertainment and cultural assets for the current season [1].

The move reflects TVN's strategy to optimize its talent pool by aligning presenters' profiles with specific program goals. Shifting Godoy to Masterchef Chile places a seasoned host in a high-stakes commercial format, while Jara's appointment to Chile Conectado suggests a desire to refresh the cultural program's appeal without altering its core mission of national connectivity.
