After weeks of uncertainty, today the signing of David Broncano for Radio Televisión Española has finally been made official. The Board of Directors of the public entity held an extraordinary meeting this Wednesday, where they gave the green light to the signing of the presenter with a two-season contract.
Therefore, starting next September, RTVE’s La 1 will broadcast in access prime time the television space it presented on Movistar, La Resistencia, to fight directly against the all-powerful El Hormiguero of Antena 3. With the signing of Broncano , the public channel intends to improve its audience data in that time slot with the aim of reaching at least a 7.5% share, or otherwise, the public entity could end its contractual relationship.
The signing, which has been generating a great debate for weeks both on social networks and in different media outlets, has caused many faces on the small screen to want to express their opinion. One of the first to speak out on the subject was José Pablo López. The former content director of RTVE was one of the first professionals to opt for the hiring of David Broncano.
However, his interest in hiring the presenter triggered a major confrontation against the former interim president of the corporation, Elena Sánchez, who refused to accept the conditions that the presenter and the production company had proposed, a 3-year contract and 42 million euros. euros.
Finally, José Pablo López, who did not want to negotiate the conditions requested by Elena Sánchez, a single-season contract, was dismissed a few weeks ago by the Board of Directors after Sánchez promoted the dismissal and dismissal of the content director. The mess did not end there, and a few days later, the interim president herself was also dismissed.
Now, after the signing of David Broncano has become effective, José Pablo López wanted to use humor through social networks to comment on the hiring. The former director published a meme of the presenter himself in which he blows a kiss to the camera, thus sending a hint to all those who opposed his proposal.
