Saturday evening on La 1 looked different as Cosas nuestras went live and shot straight to the top of the ratings. Led by Aida Bao and Aitor Albizua, the show brought fresh energy to TVE’s afternoons, putting live action and audience involvement at its core. RTVE confirmed that it airs live every Saturday and Sunday at 19:00. It takes over the old Cine de barrio slot on Saturdays, while the Sunday schedule shifts to avoid clashing with Aquí la Tierra and Telediario 2.
Cosas nuestras is built around direct audience interaction, with segments that draw viewers in instead of leaving them to watch passively. Giovanna González leads the social media coverage, inviting people at home to participate and sharing exclusive moments from RTVE’s archives. Her section puts viewers on screen and gives them a visible role. El Confidencial reported that Catorce Producciones co-produces the program. The format centers on live reports and stories from the field, with viewers weighing in as events unfold. Pre-recorded studio pieces take a back seat.
The team includes Juan Pablo Carpintero, who covers pets through adoption cases and practical advice. Mar Villalobos draws on her background to connect city and countryside. David Arango provides weather updates focused on daily life. Aunitz Alberdi reports from the field, while Ángeles Cortina brings years of TV experience. The debut episode aired on October 3, 2026, focusing on storm damage and flooding, with live coverage from Madrigueras (Albacete). RTVE Play and leading Spanish media confirmed these details.
Live, on-location reporting sets Cosas nuestras apart, with reporters covering stories across Spain from the streets and the studio. The approach echoes the urgency of recent Spanish news coverage: during the Besòs river surge in Barcelona, for example, live updates and direct links to the scene were critical. Early reviews in the Spanish press, including El Televisero, say the show sparked debate. Viewers noted the more dynamic weekend format, and many focused on the chemistry between Bao and Albizua.
La 1 is putting familiar faces in direct contact with viewers. Cosas nuestras prioritizes relevance and participation over passive entertainment, and its strong debut signaled a bet on more open, responsive TV for Spanish audiences. If the show maintains this pace, it could change weekend programming on public TV. Its debut puts engagement and authenticity at the center of the program’s pitch to Spanish viewers.
