Hoy (which means Today in English) is a popular Mexican TV show that airs every weekday morning. It's a mix of different things, like a morning news show, talk show, and entertainment program.
The show first started in 1998 and has changed over the years. It covers many topics, including entertainment news, horoscopes, beauty tips, cooking, health advice, and even fun games and comedy sketches. You can also hear music and see previews of popular TV shows called telenovelas. Hoy is produced by Televisa and is broadcast live on the Las Estrellas network.
For a while, Hoy was also shown in the United States on channels like Univision and Galavision. This allowed more people to watch the show outside of Mexico.
