Abascal sets a historical record of viewers for Broncano and 'La revuelta'

Barcelona33.6% of viewers chose yesterday to watch the interview with Santiago Abascal on La1. These figures are three tenths of a percentage point below the 33.9% achieved a few days earlier by Pedro Sánchez with his participation in La revuelta. Mind you, if looking at the number of viewers, the Vox leader reached 4.8 million while the socialist reached 4.4 million. In Catalonia, Abascal was followed by 31.9% of the audience and 589,000 viewers while Sánchez stayed at 571,000 followers and a 33.0% share.

With these figures, this Monday's broadcast of La revuelta becomes the most-watched entertainment program of the entire year on any Spanish channel (since Spain's non-participation in Eurovision this year has left vacant the top spot usually taken by that contest).

Abascal's data on La1 is even more relevant when taking into account that La Séptima had counter-programmed with an interview with Pedro Sánchez. The Spanish president gathered an average of 14.2% and 2.2 million viewers (12.8% and 274,000 in Catalonia). Although these are more modest data, it must be taken into account that this new television station is operating in its early days at around 3%.
