RTVE launches a new contest with a prize of up to €150,000 and an unusual format. RTVE has unveiled the 'El túnel: avanza y gana' contest, hosted by Jesús Vázquez. Contestants will compete for €150,000 in a unique setting. Casting is already open to all adults.
RTVE has announced the launch of a large-scale entertainment project — the competition 'El túnel: avanza y gana', which will air in prime time in the new season. The show's host will be Jesús Vázquez, who recently joined the channel after a long career on private television. The new format combines intellectual challenges, strategy, and fast-paced action, with a top prize that can reach 150,000 euros.
The essence of the competition is a series of duels between participants, who must answer questions and make tactical decisions to get ahead of their rivals and stay in the game. Each episode turns into a tense battle, where not only knowledge matters, but also the ability to take risks and pick the right moment to strike. Organizers promise an unusual set design and nonstop suspense right up to the final seconds.
Jesús Vázquez is already well known to RTVE viewers for his work on 'Benidorm Fest' and the music special 'La Casa de la Música'. This year, he will also host the third Academia de la Moda Española awards ceremony in Madrid. His return to public television has become a notable industry event, given his more than 30 years of experience in entertainment formats.
'El túnel: avanza y gana' is produced by Fremantle España in collaboration with Eureka Studios. According to the casting rules, anyone over 18 can take part, regardless of education or profession. Organizers emphasize that success requires not only erudition, but also quick reflexes, strategy, and the desire to show yourself to the whole country. Applications are now open.
In recent years, RTVE has been actively updating its lineup of entertainment projects, focusing on original formats and bringing in new faces. A similar approach to creating unique events was recently demonstrated by the authorities of Castellón, who launched a campaign to protect festivities using special bracelets. You can learn more about this initiative in the article on safety measures at mass events in the region.
For reference: RTVE is Spain’s largest state media group, regularly launching large-scale projects in television and radio. Fremantle España is known for a number of popular shows, while the participation of Jesús Vázquez traditionally attracts a wide audience. The new competition is expected to become one of the main events of the season and draw attention not only from fans of intellectual games but also from viewers looking for fresh formats on Spanish TV.
