Three more deliveries than Chinese stories. This is the broadcast time of Babylon Show, Telecinco’s new program for the prime time slot, which aimed to compete with The anthill by Pablo Motos and also against the recently arrived format of The revolt at 1.
Thus, Mediaset announced this Wednesday afternoon that Tonight’s episode, number 13, will be the last in the space directed by Carlos Latre, and which mixed interviews with actors and reports. The low audiences of the format made the audiovisual group lose patience and decided to park forever this space whose motto was “where everything It is possible”.
This decision was predictable. The program failed to seriously interest the public even in the week of its premiere, to the point that reruns of The anthill They managed to produce better data than Latre and his team, made up of, among others, Marta Torné, Leonor Lavado and Rafa Maza, among others.
In fact, last week Mediaset already announced a reduction in the number of emissions of Babylon Show. So it went from a Monday-Friday viewing schedule to a Monday-Wednesday viewing schedule. Thursdays would be entirely devoted to Big brotherand on Friday, the broadcast ofFriday!.
This movement led to the incorporation of Laura Madrueño at the project Big brother. She will be responsible for driving on the access strip a summary of the reality TV show under the title of last minute, Monday and Wednesday evenings. Tuesday and Thursday will be entirely devoted to Big brother, and the fifth night will be fully occupied Friday!.
Throughout its brief history, Babylon Show has not been without its problems. So, last week, for example, there was a day when Abraham Mateo was supposed to participate as a guest, but at the last minute he was unable to attend. His void was filled by former candidates from Big brotheras a warm-up for the premiere of the new edition of the reality show. This Tuesday, in addition, the program suffered again from the same problem, and did not have a big star on the set with whom Latre could chat: the evening was once again dedicated to the reality show Guadalix de la Sierra, without any more mystery.
Carlos Latre in “Babylon Show”.
“Patience”
Last week, Marta Torné spoke of the “patience” she had asked of Telecinco with Babylon Showthe new program that he co-presents with Carlos Latre on Telecinco. “I understand that the channel is going to give it to us because They’re more into trends than audiences, from what Carlos told me. But of course, they’re going to give it to us unless we make 2%.“Of course,” he assured.
It hasn’t reached the point of scoring such tiny data yet, but the program didn’t get good data at all. Its maximum was on the first Friday, with Hombres G, and there Carlos Latre won 947,000 viewers with 10.5%. However, other deliveries have not even reached 5%, and their minimum occurred only two days ago, on September 9, when he signed 3.1% and 400,000 viewers. It was a complicated evening, in which he competed, for the first time, with David Broncano on La 1, as well as with Pablo Motos on Antena 3.
For now, It is unclear what Carlos Latre’s future will be in Mediasetonce I say goodbye tonight to this Babylonian show. And the comedian, who in recent years had been linked to Atresmedia, was presented as one of the big bets of this season on Telecinco.
