In September of that year, he was selected by the network to inaugurate the new morning news program Antena 3 Noticias, where he remained for the entire season.
In February 1997 he started the program that has brought him the most popularity and with which the public associates his face: Impacto TV, a program that broadcast images of surprising, unusual and sometimes violent events in line with the American program Real TV.
In 1998, the program was renamed Noche de impacto, and García-Hirschfeld presented it until 2004 (in the first season with Silvia Jato). In September 1999, he took over the sports program Por la escuadra, which, however, was not very popular with the public and was withdrawn from the program a few weeks after its premiere. A year later, he directed Web te ve, a program about Internet, presented by Lucía Riaño.
In the 2002–2003 season, he also hosted the motoring program En marcha, on Onda Cero.
In 2004, after thirteen years at Antena 3 Television, he left the channel when he was hired by Telemadrid to replace Javier Reyero in the sports program Fútbol es fútbol, which he hosted with José María del Toro for two seasons.
At the beginning of the 2006–2007 season, he collaborated with Nieves Herrero's show Hoy por ti, also on Telemadrid and in December of that year he participated as a contestant in La Sexta's show El club de Flo.

In 2013 he returned to television as an occasional contributor to La 1's program Tenemos que hablar.
On December 4 of the same year, he relieved Josep Pedrerol as presenter of Punto Pelota at Intereconomía, after a series of disputes due to the debt contracted by the DTT channel with the Catalan presenter.
In 2015, he returned to present Seguridad Vital, in La 1, along with Marta Solano. The program would last until February 2018.
From 2018 to 2020 he continues to work with his production company La Nuez on several communication projects for companies and directs the cooking show La Cocina de Hola, with chef Pepa Muñoz and Master Chef winner Jorge Brazález.
