It is broadcast from the network's studios in Miami, Florida, and is hosted by Fernando Arau, Ana Maria Canseco, Neida Sandoval, and Raul Gonzalez.

Fernando Arau and Neida Sandoval have been on the show the longest. In fact, since the show's inception in 1997. Ana Maria Conseco has been on the show the second-longest and is most known for her "échate pacá" segments. She also is a frequent guest hostess of El Gordo y La Flaca.
