The new television season began with a focus on the access prime timewhere until now The anthill beat all its competitors, yielding only to sporting events and sometimes to galas of Big brother And SurvivorsThis year, Telecinco has decided to bet again on this calendar and does so with the signing of Carlos Latre and his Babylon Show, a program with a spirit very similar to that of Antena 3, thanks to the fact that it is loaded every night with sections, humor and famous guests. Latre brought forward his premiere to August 26 and until now he had only faced the summer rehearsals of Motos and his team, but this Monday they already competed on equal terms. This is how his first battle for the public took place..
After the failure of the last season of Chinese stories by Jorge Javier Vázquez and the poor results of there you In this segment, the Mediaset network is not throwing in the towel to try to steal audiences from its main competitor. But TVE has also joined this fight with the signing of David Broncano and the entire team of The Resistanceeven though in their big leap towards the public they had to change their name to The revoltsince Movistar Plus+ did not allow them to use the brand after his departure. We will probably have to wait until Monday, September 9 to see the three programs compete, but The first confrontation between Motos and Latre had a clear winner by absolute KO.
Even if Babylon Show There were two great guests like José Coronado and Luis Zahera, protagonists of the series Interviews -which launched its new season a few minutes after the interview-, was not a sufficient affirmation. Rafa Nada’s visit to Trancas and Barrancas was more attractive than ever and the Atresmedia program achieved a spectacular 21% share and gathered 2,378,000 viewers, making it the best season premiere in history..
On the other hand, Telecinco had to be content with the 6.1% and 699,000 viewers on averageremaining at the antipodes of the program with which it intends to compete, in or 14.9 points difference and 1,679,000 spectators. In this way, the Valencian made it clear that despite the competition, it would not be easy to take away the leadership that he had had for seasons without anyone having yet managed to catch up with him.
But the most famous ants on television are not the only ones to return, since the rest of the programs have also done so with their new seasons, something that has been noticed. Babylon Showwhich also lost to proposals from LaSexta, Cuatro and TVE. It’s a worrying fact for what is one of the strongest bets of the season.
Audiences for all programs in the time slot The anthill
- The anthill: Rafa Nadal (first): 21% and 2,378,000 viewers
- Summer Grand Prix: 10.5% and 1,015,000 viewers
- The intermediary (first) 7.6% and 862,000 viewers
- First dates (first): 8.8% and 1,000,000 viewers
- Babylon Show: Luis Zahera and José Coronado: 6.1% and 699,000 viewers
- Numbers and letters (first): 3.8% and 404,000 viewers
It remains to be seen whether this huge difference is due to the novelty effect and a guest as powerful as Rafa Nadal or whether this will now be the usual trend. Motos and company are expected to lose ground, but they typically move between 15% and 17% of the audience without problems.
