The Trajectory of Daniel Bisogno at TV Azteca

The late host Daniel Bisogno began his career at TV Azteca with the support of Pepillo Origel and the backing of his aunt Angélica Ortiz. His legacy in Mexican television is remembered after more than 30 years in the industry.


Daniel Bisogno, who passed away on February 20, was a prominent figure in television and radio with a career spanning over 30 years in the media. His role as a host on the show 'Ventaneando' made him a recognized figure in the entertainment world in Mexico.

However, the origin of Bisogno's career has been a subject of controversy. According to Pedro Sola, a well-known economist and collaborator at TV Azteca, he played a fundamental role in recommending Bisogno to Pati Chapoy, the host of 'Ventaneando'. Sola recalls hearing Bisogno on the radio and considering that he had the qualities for television, which is why he encouraged him to speak with Chapoy.

On the other hand, Juan José Origel, who was the first to give Bisogno work in radio before his foray into television, presents a different version. Origel claims that he was the one who provided Bisogno with the opportunity in the media after the host's aunt, Angélica Ortiz, interceded on his behalf.

Origel denies Sola's version and accuses him of lying about the role he played in Bisogno's arrival on television. According to Origel, he was the one who gave Bisogno his first opportunity in the media industry, not Sola as has been claimed.

Amidst this controversy over who was truly responsible for boosting Daniel Bisogno's career, the contributions of both remain in question regarding the host's success in the media. Bisogno, who started in radio with Origel, ultimately found fame on television with Chapoy in 'Ventaneando', leaving a legacy in the entertainment world in Mexico.
