El Número Uno ("The number one") is a Salvadoran television show based on the Spanish format of the same name created by Gestmusic Endemol and Antena 3. It airs on Telecorporación Salvadoreña's Canal 2, and is hosted by Mónica Casamiquela.
History In early 2013, it was confirmed that Telecorporación Salvadoreña had acquired the rights to adapt El Número Uno, the Spanish format created by Antena 3 and later purchased by Endemol, in El Salvador, becoming the first country in Latin America to have its own version of the show. The start of the production was officially confirmed in a press conference in July 2013.
Production El Número Uno became the most ambitious project in the history of TCS, and to produce it a new studio, known as "Foro 5", was built and added to the television complex of TCS. The first season started on September 15, 2013, on TCS' Canal 2.
Season 1 (2013) The first season ran from September 15 to December 8, 2013, and featured a panel of judges composed of Álvaro Torres, Gerardo Parker, Pamela Robin, Arquímedes Reyes and Lucía Parker.
