Clarissa Molina's Claríssima Becomes First Uforia Podcast to Land TV Deal

Clarissa Molina is closing out a successful run in digital media and stepping into a new space that could expand her reach even further. Her podcast Claríssima, which has built a dedicated following across multiple streaming platforms, is making the jump to national television this weekend. The show premieres Saturday, January 10 at 5:00 PM EST on Univision and UniMás, marking a significant shift for both Molina and the podcast itself.

From Digital Success to Broadcast Television

Claríssima has been available on ViX, Uforia, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, where it's attracted thousands of listeners with its straightforward approach to entertainment coverage. The show features conversations with notable figures in Latin entertainment and culture, mixing personal stories with lighter, more casual moments. Now, it's becoming the first podcast from Uforia to transition to television, a move that puts it in front of a broader audience beyond digital platforms.

The television version will keep the same format that resonated with its existing audience. Molina isn't changing the formula, just the medium. For viewers who prefer traditional TV over streaming, this premiere offers a new way to access content they might not have encountered otherwise.

Alejandra Espinoza Joins the First Episode

The debut episode features Alejandra Espinoza, another familiar face in Hispanic television. Both women got their start on Nuestra Belleza Latina, the reality competition that launched several careers in Spanish-language media. Their conversation covers their experiences on the show and how their careers have developed since then. It's a reunion that connects their shared history with where they've ended up professionally.

For fans of either personality, the episode offers insight into how reality TV contestants navigate the industry after their time on screen ends. It's less about nostalgia and more about the practical realities of building a career in entertainment.

What This Means for Molina's Career

Molina shared her thoughts on the expansion in a recent statement. "When I imagined Claríssima, I envisioned it exactly as it is happening today. This proves that when there is focus, teamwork, consistency, discipline, motivation, and creativity is never lacking, the results can be incredible. Today, Claríssima reaches television, and I feel deeply excited and happy about this great achievement."

The move to television represents a natural progression for someone who's already established herself across multiple formats. Molina has worked as a television presenter, actress, and beauty queen since winning Miss Dominican Republic in 2015 and Nuestra Belleza Latina in 2016. Adding a television show to her resume fits with her existing work rather than representing a dramatic departure.

A Multi-Platform Strategy

Claríssima's television debut doesn't mean the podcast is leaving digital platforms. It will continue to be available on all the streaming services where it currently exists, giving audiences the option to watch or listen however they prefer. This approach reflects how media consumption has changed, with many people moving between TV, smartphones, and computers depending on their schedule and preferences.

The production team behind the show includes Molina as executive producer, José Ceballos as general and content producer, and MS Communications by María Sabatella handling public relations. According to the announcement, Molina has more projects planned for the coming months, though specific details haven't been released yet.

Looking Ahead

For Univision and UniMás, adding Claríssima to their Saturday evening lineup brings in content that already has a proven audience. The podcast's existing followers might tune in to see how it translates to television, while new viewers could discover it through traditional broadcast. Either way, the premiere represents an interesting test case for how digital content can cross over into more traditional media formats.

Whether this marks the beginning of more podcasts making similar moves remains to be seen, but for now, Molina's show is leading that charge.
