TVE Reschedules 'La Revuelta' Due to Football: Broncano Faces Competition. TVE is changing its broadcast schedule: the airing of 'La Revuelta' is being moved because of Spain's football match. Broncano's show will air at an inconvenient time and face strong competition.
TVE has announced adjustments to its evening broadcast schedule: on Thursday, the program "La Revuelta" will be aired later due to the live broadcast of the football match between Spain and Iraq. The game will begin on "La 1" at 20:45 and will serve as the national team's preparation for the upcoming world championship. After the match ends, at 22:50, "La Revuelta" with David Broncano will air in prime time.
For "La Revuelta," this decision means additional pressure: the program will go head-to-head with two leaders of the evening slot. At the same time, the final part of the reality show "Supervivientes," which consistently leads in viewership, will air, as well as "Horizonte" with Iker Jiménez, who regularly sets new records for audience share. According to TVE, these are the projects that most often pose the main competition for "La Revuelta" in the fight for viewers' attention.
Iker Jiménez, host of "Horizonte," has recently been granted daily prime time by Mediaset for his political discussions, often critical of Pedro Sánchez's government. This move is already yielding noticeable results: the latest episode of "Horizonte" reached a 9.7% share and an average of 1.1 million viewers. Although in absolute numbers the program lagged behind "La isla de las tentaciones" and "El Hormiguero," it came close to the results of "La Revuelta."
The rescheduling of the 'La Revuelta' broadcast due to a football match is not the first time that sports broadcasts have affected the audience of entertainment programs. Similar situations have already occurred during Champions League matches, especially in April when the decisive stage of the tournament begins. The impact of major sporting events on TV schedules and ratings is discussed not only in the context of entertainment shows: for example, the campaign of the 'Real' presidential candidate with loud promises also drew attention to how sports influence the media agenda.
For reference: prime time on Spanish television traditionally starts after 22:30, due to the specifics of the local pace of life. In recent years, competition in evening broadcasting has intensified, and sports broadcasts are increasingly causing changes in the schedules of entertainment programs. According to RUSSPAIN, such adjustments can significantly affect the distribution of viewers among channels and formats.
