6, 7, 8

Six in the Seven at Eight, usually called 6, 7, 8, is an Argentine political commentary TV program that was broadcast by the government-run Channel 7 from 2009 to 2015. Its name comes from the fact that, when it first started airing, there were five members on the show's panel, and its motto was you are the sixth one (the viewer). Since it was broadcast by Channel 7 at 8 pm, the name was shortened to "6, 7, 8". In late 2009, the program was moved to 9 pm, a new segment was added to be aired on Sundays at night, and new guest panelists were invited, making it more than six members. Nevertheless, the show's name remained unchanged. The program was first hosted by María Julia Oliván and a panel which included Orlando Barone, Carla Czudnowsky, Eduardo Cabito Massa Alcántara, Luciano Galende, and Sandra Russo, along with a guest analyst who would give their opinions throughout the program. María Julia Oliván announced in an interview for the website Television.com.ar that, on January 28, 2010, she would make her last appearance on the program. Her place was occupied by Luciano Galende, and from 2013 onward the host was Carlos Barragán. The program was nominated to the 2010 Martín Fierro Awards in the category Best Journalistic Program. The program's panel discussed national and world events, analyzing their social and political repercussions on Argentina. The program has come under criticism due to its perceived advocacy of Kirchnerism, which is controversial as it was aired by a state-owned TV channel during the time Cristina Kirchner was president. The program ceased to be aired shortly after the end of Kirchner's presidency.
