Failure
Significantly, from the beginning, Sunday night never worked in terms of viewership. In the few months that it was on the air, Cycles never managed to average above a ratings point, becoming one of the biggest failures of the year on US TV screens. The last shipment averaged 0.6 points.
Let us recall that a television program was created and hosted on Sunday night Gerardo Sofovich (1937–2015) in 1987, aired in prime time and is considered a classic program on Argentine television. The program returned in 2022 following Sofovich’s death at 201.5, this time hosted by Iudica on America TV.
Throughout its history the program would have a curious journey through the five air channels of Argentine television. After passing on Channel 13, in 1988 with the arrival of Héctor Ricardo García he moved to Teledos, where he would watch the birth of his twin brother, i.e. on Saturday nights, then with García’s sudden departure from said channel – Sofovich was able to watch his twin brother’s birth. The programs would move (in 1989) to Channel 11 screens, where they would remain until the late 1990s. In early 1991, Marcelo Tinelli began his run of the night on the Telefe screen, so he forced Sofović to leave said station, Stopping at ATC.
After 5 long years at State Station, in 1996 he returned his classic program canal 9, After a brief stint in the US in 1998, he returned to ATC in 1999 for a new season. Between 2000 and 2002 Sofovich ran the Hacete la America cycle on America TV with a similar format to La noche del Domingo. The program returned with its namesake in 2008 until its last season in 2013 on Channel 9.
