## History

During the first years, Los Desayunos de TVE was once known under the title of Los Desayunos de Radio 1 because TVE2 was broadcast simultaneously by the Radio Nacional de España, as part of the segment Mañanas de Radio 1, hosted by Julio César Iglesias. Iglesias was in charge of conducting the interviews and he was always accompanied by journalists Diego Carcedo - Director, at the time of RNE - and Antonio San José.

### The departures of Carcedo and San José

In 1996, both Carcedo and San José left RNE and therefore the program. The trio of interviewers then passes consist of Iglesias, Alejo García and Javier González Ferrari, the new Director of RNE, which became primarily responsible for the program. Just a year later, Carlos Dávila and Isabel San Sebastián, alternatively, occupied the post of Alejo Garcia. In September 1996, the show was transferred to TVE1 and was renamed Los Desayunos de Radio Nacional. In return, the morning edition of La 2 Noticias was also absorbed by the Telediario brand and Los Desayunos moved its starting time to 9:00am. In 1997, it was finally renamed to its current name, Los Desayunos de TVE.
