Grand Prix, the historic competition of Spanish Television and which La 1 has recovered this summer, has shown that 28 years later it continues to please the audience. Its July 24 premiere drew 2,572,000 viewers, giving it a 26.1% screen share and making it the best TV premiere of 2023. On Monday, the third show against the towns of Cervelló (Baix Llobregat) and Aguilar de Campo (Palencia) and again led the night despite the usual drop in television consumption during the first half of August
The competition presented by Ramón García – and which lost the Catalan town – led prime time with 1,719,000 viewers and a 20.6% share of the screen. Only Pasapalabra, from Antena 3, had a better share of the screen on Monday: 20.9%, although fewer viewers, 1,545,000.
The Turkish series Hermanos, from Antena 3, was the second most watched option of the night with 1,148,000 viewers and a screen share of 13.3%. But on Telecinco, the double episode of the series Días mejores , starring Blanca Portillo, Francesc Orella and Marta Hazas and which premiered on July 31, had only a 4% screen share on Monday, which translates into 390,000 viewers. The first episode marked 3.9% and the second, 4.1%.
On Monday afternoon, TVE began rebroadcasting La señora, a telenovela that premiered in 2008 and that launched its protagonists Adriana Ugarte and Rodolfo Sancho to fame. Despite the fact that the first episode coincided with the truculent murder committed in Thailand by the son of Rodolfo Sancho, the truth is that this fate of El pájaro espino achieved only a discreet 7.6% share of the screen, or 622,000 viewers. And La promesa, which aired just before, got an 11.1% share and 996,000 viewers.
La señora replaces El paraíso de las señoras, which TVE withdrew from its programming due to low ratings. On TV3, on the other hand, El paradís de les senyores achieved a screen share of 14.3% and 181,000 viewers in Catalonia on the same Monday.
The afternoon is not being good for Telecinco either. Así es la vida, the space presented by Sandra Barneda and César Muñoz that started with a desire to produce friendly content and to break with 14 years of ¡Sálvame!, has been sinking week after week. That is why during the last few days the magazine has taken a turn and is becoming a new version of !Sálvame! with increasingly morbid and scandalous content and with many collaborators from its predecessor program. The management of the chain just has to wait until September arrives and Ana Rosa Quintana gets the evening.
