Día a Día con Raymond y Dagmar is a variety program on WKAQ-TV Telemundo Puerto Rico hosted by Raymond Arrieta, Dagmar and Gil Marie Lopez that airs weekdays from 1pm to 4pm AST on Telemundo Puerto Rico.[1][2] The show premiered on January 15, 2007, and marked the return of Arrieta to television after having his long running show cancelled on rival station WAPA-TV.
History[edit]
In 2006 in the midsts of a channel rebrand and programming shuffle, rival station Televicentro cancelled Raymond Arrieta's long-running high rated comedy show El Show de Raymond causing Arrieta to leave the network. Arrieta was later announced as the new host of a midday variety show on Telemundo Puerto Rico alongside Dagmar set to premiere in January 2007 at 11am. The show would follow a magazine format and feature interviews, human interest segments, cut-ins from the stations newscasts and of course Arrieta's famous line up of characters in different sketches. In 2011, WKAQ-TV added a full on newscasts at 11am, pushing Dia@Dia to 11:30am in direct competition with WAPA-TV's midday show.[3] Dia@Dia would bounce around start times over the next few years before finally landing on their current start time of 1pm AST.[4]
In 2016, it was announced that Gil Marie Lopez (who at the time served as news presenter on WAPA-TV) would be joining the show as a co-host alongside Raymond and Dagmar.[5] Lopez took a more head on role as main co-host in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic which forced Dagmar to isolate at home due to being a high risk individual because of her multiple battles with Cancer. Dagmar still occasionally hosts segment remotely via Skype from the safety of her home.

Da Vida Caminando con Raymond[edit]
In 2008, Dagmar was diagnosed with Cancer on the tongue.[7] The diagnosis shook the entire Puerto Rican entertainment industry as Dagmar is a well liked long fixture of Puerto Rican television, no one came more shocked than Dagmar's Dia@Dia co-host Raymond Arrieta who pledged to be there for his co-host and help in any way he could. In 2009, Arrieta pledged to embark on a days long hike across Puerto Rico where he would raise funds for the Puerto Rico Oncology Hospital (where Dagmar was being treated).[8] While Dagmar would recuperate from Cancer she would wind up with two more diagnosis later on (all of whom she has beat).[9][10]
As Dagmar continued to fight with the disease and her multiple diagnosis, Arrieta's commitment to the Puerto Rican League Against Cancer grew and he would continue to hold his hike now titled Da Vida: Caminando Con Raymond (Give Life: Walking With Raymond) every single year for over 10 years and managing to raise over $1 million every single year for the Puerto Rican Oncology Hospital.[11]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the 2020 version the Da Vida Walk could not be held in person but to continue his dedication to the cause Arrieta managed to do the walk live from the studio where Dia@Dia is broadcast from, Arrieta walked the entire route on a treadmill while simultaneously hosting the show. A call-center was installed in the studio where viewers could call in and donate money as Arrieta walked in place. Arrieta walked 60 miles in 5 days.[12] Arrieta has already confirmed that he will embark on the hike again in 2021.[13]
