WABC New York’s ‘Tiempo’ Celebrating 40th Anniversary

Tiempo, the Emmy-winning public affairs program dedicated to issues of interest to the Hispanic community in the New York metropolitan area, is celebrating its 40th on-air anniversary. The English-language morning talk show airs weekly on WABC on Sundays at 11:30 a.m.

Tiempo is hosted by Joe Torres, WABC-TV’s longstanding news anchor and reporter, who also anchors the station’s Saturday and Sunday night newscasts with Sandra Bookman. A native New Yorker of Puerto Rican heritage, Torres has been hosting the show for more than 20 years. A special anniversary edition of Tiempo will air and stream Sunday, Feb. 12, at 11:30 a.m.

“Tiempo has been serving the Hispanic community for 40 years, keeping its viewers informed and up to date on topics that matter the most to Latinos in the New York area,” said Marilu Galvez, WABC president-general manager and the first Hispanic woman to hold the position. “I cannot begin to express how proud I am to be part of this truly momentous occasion and to be at the helm of this historic program that has served the Hispanic community so well. We look forward to continuing to bring Tiempo’s thought provoking, impactful and informative format to its viewers and to deliver critical information to the greater communities we serve.”

The special edition of Tiempo airing Sunday, Feb. 12, will feature three former hosts as guests: David Novarro, Anna Carbonell and Miguel Pérez. It will also be available on demand on abc7ny.com/tiempo and the ABC7 WABC-TV streaming app for Roku/Apple TV/Amazon Fire/Google TV, along with archival content and extended interviews from the special.
