Career and history of René Franco

What we know regarding the creation of this radio program called La Taquilla, is that it was born from the need that René Franco felt to open a space exclusively dedicated to shows in the media, which was characterized by having a different approach. to other existing programs. In short, he wanted to give it his personal touch: humor and irreverence. This is how he presented his program in the company of Sergio Zurita and Katia D’Artigues on the date of August 31, 1996, with the production of Javier Chagoyán, on FM Globo, which now bears the name of Exa FM 104.9.

Soon after, Lupita Reyes and Daniel Bisogno would join the team . Later, Bisogno would leave and Susana Moscatel would enter in her place, after whose departure Jorge Dorantes and Hilda Isa Salas formed the team. A short time later Horacio Villalobos, Mauricio Clark, Hugo A. Maldonado, Vicente Gutiérrez, as well as ManuNNa joined. So that currently the team of this radio program is made up of René Franco , Civente Gutiérrez and Edgar Castillo, since we have to point out that over the years, due to various situations, some members of the team have made the decision to leave the radio show.

Later, in 2005 René Franco was a participant in the reality show known as Big Brother VIP but came in third place, only surpassed by Luis Hernández and Sasha Sokol but above other big stars such as  Raúl Araiza ,  Rafa Balderrama ,  Israel Jaitovich ,  Raquel Bigorra ,  Gaby Ramírez  among others who left before him. At the same time  , René Franco continued as the main figure of La Taquilla, a program that by that time had already cultivated a large number of followers as well as a remarkable success.

We must also mention that on July 2, 2008, René Franco , who was the conductor and producer of the broadcast, terminated the employment relationship due to personal problems between MVS Radio and his company called Franco Comunicaciones after not having reached any economic agreement. This news scared his followers, since La Taquilla was already considered one of the programs with the greatest longevity in the history of radio, so many could not help but think that with the lawsuit between Franco and MVS Radio, the radio production that they liked it so much was coming to an end. However, Rene FrancoHe decided not to give up, so that after a brief pause the transmissions of La Taquilla were restarted now as part of Grupo Fórmula, with whom he signed a contract back in September of the same year 2008.

After the success of La Taquilla with  René Franco , the television program known as Es de noche y ya llegue came into his life, in which he was the exclusive host for a period of time that ended up covering 12 years; However, it is our knowledge that in the past year 2020 it ended said exclusivity with the Televisa company, since its schedule is increasingly tight with the approach of the presentation of a new project that consists of a bilingual show that keeps similarity with that of Conan O’Brien or Jimmy Fallon.

Regarding this news, we must point out that René Franco took a course with Stephen Rosenfield at the American Comedy Institute located in New York City, after which he stated to the entertainment press in Mexico that: “Stephen was very interested that I did a late night with the format of a monologue, comedy, interview, and with a musical number at the end, that I could interview in English and Spanish, we began to develop the idea… which is to create a program that would be seen by Americans, Mexicans, immigrants and everyone.”

So with his departure from Televisa he also ended his company Franco Comunicaciones, although we know that he already created another production house next to Rodrigo Levingson.
