Al Rojo Vivo (Red Hot) is a Spanish language news program on the American television network Telemundo, which has been broadcast on that network since 2002, replacing the long-running Ocurrió Así. The name derives from the Spanish language expression meaning heated until red hot, the glowing color of an object between about 500 °C and 800 °C. As in English it can be used to indicate intense emotion or a situation ready to be shaped or forged by public opinion.

The show is very similar to its Univision competitor, Primer Impacto, featuring a mix of tabloid and entertainment news, sports, weather, and human interest stories. The show has a tamer and less-aggressive approach compared to its competitor, however, with less coverage of crime stories and more lighter fare.

The show was hosted by

KBLR in Las Vegas.[1] The new presenting team was poorly received upon launch, critics opining that it was too similar to its competitor, and lacked the flair of Arrarás.[2]
