TVE drastically cuts 'The Family on TV'

BarcelonaFrom 3:50 p.m. to 5 p.m. This will be the new opening hours starting June 2nd. The TV family, the program with which Televisión Española wanted to dominate the weekday afternoonsA below-expected audience in the first month of broadcasting has led TVE management to shorten its runtime. The program, an attempt to emulate Telecinco's former glory days with presenters such as María Patiño, Aitor Albizua, and Inés Hernand (and collaborators such as Belén Esteban), was conceived as a 3:50 to 8:30 p.m. slot, with two separate blocks for the series. Wild Valley and The promise. However, it hasn't fully worked. In fact, on Thursday, the audience share hit rock bottom: 5.5% in the first block (3:50 p.m. to 4:50 p.m.) and 5.7% in the second (6:40 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.).

As of June 2, The TV family will have a single block from 3:50 p.m. to 5 p.m. Then the series will be available Wild Valley and The promiseAt 7 p.m. it will be broadcast The 'Promise' Club, a discussion that will focus on the day's episode of this series and at 7:15 p.m. the contest The hunter stars, in a version featuring celebrities and hosted by Gorka Rodríguez. The evening will be closed by the informative magazine Here the land, presented by Jacob Petrus, which just this week reached eleven uninterrupted years on the air, with good audience figures as well.
