Subrayado is the news program of the Uruguayan Channel 10. It airs from Monday to Friday at three different times, in addition to a broadcast on Sundays and holidays. It is presented by Blanca Rodríguez.
The first broadcast of Subrayado was in 1971 under the leadership of the journalist Omar Defeo, being its director until 1989. It is currently the most watched newscast in Uruguay.[1] It has also been accoladed with the Iris Award for best newscast on several occasions.[2]
In 1990, Blanca Rodríguez and Jorge Traverso began presenting the central edition of Subrayado. In 2010, they would celebrate 20 uninterrupted years in front of the Channel 10 newscast and flagship.[3] In 2013 Jorge Traverso left the news program to continue his talk show Hablemos. In his last day presenting the newscast, his colleague Blanca Rodríguez said goodbye to him on the air with an emotional speech and recognition of his career and companionship for so many years, "This is how the world is, friends" she stated. It is a phrase immortalized by Traverso at the end of the editions of the central newscast, that was declared a national heritage by the National Academy of Letters.[4]
