Everything about Marcelo Tinelli totally explained
Marcelo Hugo Tinelli (born
April 1 1960 in
Bolívar,
Buenos Aires Province) is an
Argentine TV host, media producer and businessman, best known as the host of the TV show
Showmatch broadcast on Argentina's
Canal 13 (Argentina) (formerly
Videomatch broadcast on
Telefe).
Tinelli was working on
Radio Rivadavia as
football sportscaster before
Juan Alberto Badía brought him to TV to
Badía y Compañía. In 1990, after several years as sports commentator, he created the light-content
Videomatch, based on sport results, easy jokes,
hidden cameras and
bloopers. Around 1996 the program left the lightest contents and included musical shows and guests. In 1999 he received the Golden
Martín Fierro Award for
Videomatch. The show is still aired, but under the name of
Showmatch.
He created the TV production company
Ideas del Sur (Ideas from the South), which has produced many TV shows including
Okupas,
Buenos Vecinos,
Tumberos,
Fugitivos and
Los Roldán. He also bought Radio Uno FM station, and the Spanish
Segunda División football club
CD Badajoz.
He has two daughters with ex-wife María Soledad Aquino (married May 1986 to March 1993), and a son and a daughter with current wife Paula Robles (married November 1997).
Videomatch/Showmatch
He became popular as the presenter of Argentina's high-rated show
Videomatch on the Argentine network Telefe. The variety show had sketches, musical guests, contests, and introduced bloopers to the Argentine audience.
Tinelli caused controversy in 2005, when he announced plans to switch to
Canal 9, the third highest rated network. His show increased the average audience of Canal 9 by giving the network the highest-rated show in the country.
In 2006 Tinelli announced a switch to
Canal 13, Telefe's largest competitor. Tinelli now works at Canal 13 and produces TV dramas with his own production company.
The show title changed from
Videomatch to
Showmatch since the Videomatch name was owned by Telefe.
Showmatch is also the name of a short-lived version of
Videomatch that aired in
Spain.
