The Comisi?n Nacional de Espect?culos P?blicos, the local government organization that regulates show business, prohibited the passing of the Show de Cristina in the 5 to 6 pm time slot. The organization’s president, Laureano Guerrero said that Channel 5 should move the program to a slot after 10 pm given the immoral content of the talk shows. In the past months there has been an increase in the number of shows presenting Dominican nationals in demeaning situations. Recently local TV producer, Nuria Piera presented several former participants that admitted that they had been paid to impersonate characters as per scripts given to them by the producers of El Show de Cristina, described as the Spanish-language Oprah Winfrey show. Channel 5 has rejected changing the hour of the talk show alleging that in all other Latin American countries it is shown at the same time as here.
