After a strong controversy between Antena 3 and Pepe Navarro, the host decided to retire the lawsuit that he had filed against the channel in exchange for hosting La Vía Navarro on the pay per view channel Vía Digital, where, as he was not depending on large audiences, he made a great experimental format (he managed to broadcast from Kosovo in the middle of the war).[7] In 2001 he was director of the television series Papá, that only lasted 4 episodes.[8]
