'La revuelta' and 'La promesa', the two programs that cost the most money on RTVE

BarcelonaAfter years of requests, today RTVE has broken down for the first time in its history the cost of productions that are outsourced; that is, those that are made through production companies outside the public corporation. The entity has published today a list of the production companies with which it works with the breakdown of the contracts signed with each of them. In this way, one of the commitments made by the president of the corporation, José Pablo López, before the parliamentary commission of RTVE is fulfilled.

According to the list provided by RTVE, in 2024 the production company that headed the ranking was El Terrat, which signed a contract of 28.1 million euros to make The revolt, David Broncano's programme, for two seasons a year. In second place is Bambú Produccions, which had a contract of 17.2 million euros to produce the daily afternoon series. The promise, which precisely comes to an end this week. Both Broncano's programme and the serial are two of the spaces that work best on La 1 in terms of audience.

From third and fourth place onwards, we begin to see which are the production companies that have the greatest influence on La 1, since in many cases they are companies that produce more than one programme for public television. In third position is Boomerang TV, which, on the one hand, produces another of the channel's daily series, The Modern Tea Room and, on the other hand, participates in the production of the Benidorm Fest. Thus, in total, Boomerang TV's contract with RTVE for 2024 amounted to 15.7 million euros. In fourth place is Shine Iberia, which last year produced four programs for the corporation: MasterChef, MasterChef celebrity, Masters of sewing and The Morancos route. For those four programs, the production company received 14.8 million euros. This 2025 Shine Iberia will continue to have a lot of weight in RTVE because, at the moment, it heads the list of contracted production companies. According to the list provided by RTVE, this year it has a contract of almost 8.8 million euros to make a new edition of MasterChef celebrity.
