As if nothing interesting were happening in the Valencian Country and the fulfillment of the principle of proximity communication medium established by the foundational law of public radio and television had been suspended, this Friday viewers of À Punt will be able to verify that the channel will dedicate part of its programming to broadcasting a bullfight from the Madrid Feria de San Isidro. As striking as it may seem, it will not be the first occasion; in fact, the broadcast of the bullfighting show from the capital of the State began on May 9 and will be repeated this Sunday. What will be, however, is another example of the evolution of a channel that, with the arrival of PP and Vox to the Generalitat, is increasingly opting for content in Spanish, the mix of opinion and information, crime stories, and the dissemination of shows linked to the most conservative Spanish worldview. A trend that gives no reason to believe it will change, but rather the opposite, with the appointment this week of Román Ceballos as the new president of the board of directors of a channel that for many has long resembled the old Canal 9.

Actor and former Ciudadanos MP Toni Cantó has now steered his erratic career toward television as the host of a debate on the Valencian public broadcaster À Punt. It's the latest publicity stunt by the Valencian public broadcaster to discredit itself. The show premiered Friday night. The debate Asking herself, "Is feminism in crisis?" Obviously, Cantón couldn't care less about feminism. Rather, it fuels her anger, which was evident in the charade she staged. With her ego inflated before the cameras, she orchestrated a fallacy that only sought to discredit and ridicule feminism. The four panelists participated in this farce, because it's the typical program where you're invited to be used, not listened to. Cantón's cynicism became immediately apparent when, after her introduction, she wanted to make it clear that "this program will not deny violence against women." A very strange and biased preemptive strategy, which betrayed the deceptive nature of the debate's premise. They warned that they wouldn't deny the number of murdered women (of course not!) only to then proceed to attack feminism. In the midst of the chaotic show, with an equally manipulated audience, they staged a face-to-face debate featuring a commentator with sexist, ultraconservative, and xenophobic theories. They incorporated, via video link, the intervention of Juan Soto Ivars, who presented a book in which he claims that the official low rate of false accusations of gender-based violence is a lie and that the real statistics are higher, with many men falling victim to the abuse of a biased feminist system.

The management of À Punt. That was the reason given by both Carlos Mazón and Maribel Vilaplana's entourage to justify their controversial lunch at El Ventorro. A meal that wasn't confirmed until ten days later. The journalist asked the Valencian president to keep quiet about who she had lunch with, and he did so until the media made it public. She didn't want to be implicated in a tragedy she knew nothing about. Therefore, a compelling reason had to be given for a lunch that lasted almost four hours. But Mazón had already extended that offer two weeks earlier. Specifically, on October 11, eighteen days before the DANA storm, as ARA has been able to confirm and as it had already pointed out.

The shadow of the old Canal 9 is very long and the employees of À Punt, many of whom worked in the old Valencian public broadcaster, do not wish the channel to suffer the degradation of its predecessor. At least, not with their silence and complicity. That is why this Sunday they have filled social media with posts denouncing that they do not share the practices of the new corporation.

On Thursday night, on À Punt, the Valencian public television channel, journalist Vanesa Sanchis conducted the official interview with the president of the Generalitat (Catalan government), Carlos Mazón. Just before the first anniversary of the Dana tragedy, the lamentable spectacle that Valencians had to witness was heartbreaking.

The intention of the new general director of À Punt, Francisco Aura, to prioritize Spanish over Catalan in broadcasts on Valencian public television has generated controversy. Compromís MP Maria Josep Amigó has made public through X various details of Aura's internal report that indicate the intention to marginalize Catalan. "Objective: impoverish the language. They're not hiding anything," says the Valencian leader in the publication. Aura was appointed at the end of January of that year.

The Labor Inspectorate has fined Punt €50,000 for the risks taken by some of its employees while covering the effects of the DANA (National Hurricane) on October 29. This was announced on Tuesday. Eldiario.es This was confirmed to ARA by sources from the Valencian public broadcaster, who also explained that the public company has extended the fine.

More broadcasting in Spanish and the door open to programming bullfights if they are "profitable." The announcement of the formula with which the new management of À Punt intends to gain more viewers seems to lack innovation or differentiation in a schedule full of monolingual media in Spanish. This was made clear this Monday by the president of the network, José Vicente Ordaz, during his first appearance before the Corts Valencianes.
