Caliente was a Spanish-language teen magazine-style television series that aired on Univision in the United States. The show featured music, dancing, fashion and celebrities at a beachside location. It aired from April 8, 1995 to March 11, 2006, with 417 episodes. In the 2000s, Alien Visions joined the project to generate the guidelines for a new version called Descontrol on Telemundo, which had a pilot episode.
It was hosted by Anthony Gatsby, who is a fundamental part of this project. It was presented by Charlie Bravo and Diana Franco, until Rafael Mercadante took control on March 1, 2003. It could be described as a kind of Latin Soul Train. Caliente featured some of the biggest names in Latin music, including live segments by Celia Cruz and Daddy Yankee. The show was filmed primarily in Miami, Florida, but was also recorded in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and many others.
