Background

Xuxa became a household name throughout Latin America thanks to its children's television program El Show de Xuxa produced in Argentina during the years 1991 and 1993, and aired in 17 Latin American countries and United States by Univision, with an estimated audience of 25 million viewers. [3] [4]

She caught the attention of the Spanish public ever since starring on two TV shows on Telecinco a year earlier in 1991, and the annual releases of her international albums, as well as song, that had become popular there. [5]

Development

Xuxa Park was filmed in Barcelona, on a soundstage replicating an amusement park, in a similar fashion to Xou da Xuxa . The guests were usually singers, circus performers, and Spanish comic groups, as well as the presentation of games. The novelty in relation to Brazilian version, was that parents and children could compete in the games in teams, formed by two children and two adults.

Release

"Xuxa Park" was released in 1992, and was aired weekly on Sundays, totaling 15 episodes, each with an hour and-a-half during the spring schedule of Telecinco, Madrid's station with national reach, which holds 50% of the Spanish audience - which places second place after of the La 1. Before the launch of the show, a Press conference was organized by the issuer to present formally Xuxa and Paquitas to the public. [6]

Reception and ratings

Four months after the debut of Xuxa Park in Tele 5, the direction of the station expressed interest in renewing the contract for another five months with the host for a second season of the show, but the negotiations have not advanced due to busy schedule of Xuxa, and recordings of their TV show in the United States — Xuxa —that would be released early next year in North America. [7]

"Xuxa Park" conquered high ratings: 45 points (an estimated audience of 25 million people). [8]
