The destiny, the death of the Pope or the blackout last Monday have led to the fact that TV family Exactly released on 5, 5, 2025; a figure that capriciously symbolizes how the “telecinqueado” tve. And a capricious anniversary: It was a May 5 of 2 years ago when from this portal we advanced the scoop that Mediaset was loaded Save me After 14 years on antenna and placed Ana Rosa Quintana in the afternoon.
But beyond whims of fate or coincidences, the truth is that who at this point in May 2025 puts this afternoon the 1 of TVE might not recognize what chain is seeing.
The drift that RTVE is taking under the presidency of José Pablo López It is without dissimulation A trip to Telecinco past. What should be a public chain focused on public service, informative plurality and the promotion of quality television, is progressively becoming a Showcase of characters and most sensational television formatsthat which once defined the old Telecinco as an epicenter of the so -called “Telebasura”.
The programming of the 1 seems more and more an alternative set of Save me or an extended special of realities Exiduous. Characters like Rosa Benito, Master Joao, Lydia Lozano, Belén Esteban, María Patiño, Isa Pantoja or Kiko Matamoros copan the grill. Media figures whose presence was linked to a widely questioned television model even within Mediaset, which ended up regardless of its main promoters – an Cornejo and Adrián Madrid – for understanding that their production style was incompatible with a renewal of image and content.
Precisely these two producers, at the head of the TV factory (today reincarnated in the Osa Audiovisual Productions), They seem to have found a new refuge in RTVEby the hand of a president who not only recovers his figures, but also has placed Sergio Calderón, a former director of Mediaset and the producer of Cornejo and Madrid as number two.
These types of strategic decisions are not merely aesthetic. They mark an ideological, ethical and cultural direction. Turning RTVE into a clone of the old Telecinco can collide the audience and even look like many regular spectators not only an error, but a betrayal of the mandate of a public television funded with money from all citizens. You cannot justify a screaming programming, morbidity or family conflicts In Prime time with the audience argument, when RTVE’s obligation is to offer quality alternatives, not compete with the worst market with the excuse of looking for a audience in the way.
RTVE deserves respect. Citizens deserve a public television that raises the level of debate, which reports rigorously and entertains without degrading. What is happening under the direction of José Pablo López is a regression. And the most worrying thing is that, if it does not stop in time, it can be irreversible.
