History change

After the breakup at the end of 2017 of the partnership with the Indalo Group, Showmatch lived a year with many conflicts, leading to almost ceasing broadcasts. At the end of that year, continuity was confirmed of the cycle in the present 2018 and 2019, with the support of the authorities of El Trece, but without the participation of Ideas del Sur as a producer.[6]

However, there were rumors that the program should change its name since the Showmatch brand would not belong to the new production, so the possibility of retaking the old video match name was considered, but given the protection of said name by being owned by Telefe, the name that was handled for the 2018 season was originally going to be called ShowDance, then Tinelli decided that the name would be Bailando, but in the end, it returned with the same name as always (Showmatch).

Creation change

According to Marcelo himself, he commented on Facebook Live in which he introduced the production company, the name is due to the union between the company's employees and viewers with more than twenty years of experience. He commented:

"After so much laughter and joy, and also some tears, we are already a family. So when it came time to decide on the name, we thought about that relationship. It was a bond that developed naturally, spontaneously. There is a family relationship because they invite us to go to their house. And we thought that the name should be a tribute to this back and forth bridge that we form. (...) That is why the chosen name of the new production company is LaFlia"[7] [8]
