At the age of 19, he began working in the studios of TVE in Prado del Rey, Madrid, with Victoriano Fernández Assisi, Jesus Alvarez and Miguel de la Quadra-Salcedo.
In March 1982, he was appointed director and host of the 15:00 edition of the newscast, which became the second youngest professional (the first being Lalo Azcona) that he combined both functions for the public broadcaster.
That same year, 1990, he was hired by Valerio Lazarov, then head of the fledgling TV station Telecinco to set in motion the news on the radio.
Thus, on May 3, 1990, he presented Entre hoy y mañana, a small news brief for just fifteen minutes, which over the years would be extending its duration to become the current Informativos Telecinco.
On May 31, 1993, he moderated the second televised debate between Felipe González and José María Aznar for the general elections that was held six days later.
