On July 13, 2006, Univision Communications Inc. announced the naming of Satcha Pretto as the new co-host of the highly rated daily newsmagazine "Primer Impacto - Fin de Semana" ("First Impact - Weekend Edition"), on Saturday and Sunday, 5:00-6:00 p.m. ET/PT (4:00-5:00 p.m. CT). Just six months after joining the Univision Network, Pretto hosted the network's broadcast of the 2007 Tournament of Roses Parade, and did so again in January 2008. In May 2007, Pretto covered a visit by Pope Benedict XVI to Brazil and was subsequently chosen to be part of a select group of 70 journalists who traveled with the pope during his visit to the United States in 2008. In doing so, Pretto made history by becoming the first female journalist from a Spanish-language media outlet in the U.S. to travel on board the Pope's plane.
