RCN Televisión aired its 6 a.m. news broadcast on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, marking the final episode of the morning show Mañana Express [1].
The conclusion of the program signals a shift in the network's early morning programming strategy in Colombia. As a staple of the morning routine for many viewers, the departure of Mañana Express leaves a vacancy in the network's schedule that may be filled by new formats, or expanded news coverage.
The broadcast occurred as part of the regular Noticias RCN programming cycle [1]. This specific date had been previously identified as the conclusion of the show's run [2]. The network integrated the final airing of the morning show into its standard news delivery, maintaining its commitment to early morning reporting while transitioning away from the Mañana Express brand.
While the network has not detailed the immediate replacement for the time slot, the end of the show follows a period of programming adjustments across Colombian television. The transition reflects broader trends in media consumption where traditional morning variety formats are often streamlined to prioritize hard news, or digital-first content.
Viewers tuned into the June 9 broadcast [1] witnessed the end of a program that had served as a bridge between the early morning news and the start of the business day. The network's decision to align the finale with the 6 a.m. news cycle ensured that the transition occurred during a peak viewing window for Colombian audiences [1].
“RCN Televisión aired its 6 a.m. news broadcast on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, marking the final episode of the morning show Mañana Express.”
The cancellation of Mañana Express suggests that RCN Televisión is pivoting away from traditional morning magazine formats in favor of a more streamlined news approach. This move likely reflects a response to changing audience habits in Colombia, where viewers are increasingly migrating toward shorter, more direct news updates rather than long-form morning variety shows.
