In this country, it is possible to spend a fortune of everyone’s money on ruining the audience and not giving explanations or arguments. That happens in the Public Corporation. But at least we can point out those responsible. Jordi Gonzalez drove his last DCorazon last Sunday, August 18, with a devastating figure: a meager 4.2% before leaving for vacation. The gossip show returned last weekend to the La 1 schedule after a long three-week break due to the Olympic Games and returned with the Catalan as the presenter alone and without Anne Igartiburu. He came back worse than when he left. Just the opposite of what happened in the next slot, this Saturday: with Jordi out and Anne in charge of the magazine, the audience has shot up by more than 60%; that is, it has gone from scoring 4.2% to 6.7%, which is not a great figure, except if we compare it with the previous disaster.
The transparency portal forced to reveal that TVE pays Anne Igartiburu 1.750 euros for each D Corazón programme, while Jordi Gonzalez gana 1.900 euros. Jordi González therefore pockets 150 euros more per delivery than his partner. But, curiously, the Catalan’s efficiency is disastrous with the data in hand. Presented alone by Jordi Gonzalezthe audience plummets to historic lows, but if it is alone Anne Igartiburu and it is the Catalan who is not there because he has gone on vacation, D Heart It scores almost 7%. If Jordi presents eight programmes a month (two for each weekend), the money that the Public Corporation pays out in exchange for sinking its own audience is almost 16,000 euros a month. And that’s not counting what he earned for presenting (with very poor data). Blood Ties, already retired.
TVE abolishes Jordi González’s programme after it failed miserably in the afternoons on La 1
The last program broadcast with the Catalan at the helm (Jordi has already sunk The Square y Blood Ties) It scored a poor 4.2% share and only gathered 268,000 viewers, half of which Socialiteits direct rival, which signed 8.9% (518,000 followers) on Telecinco. In that same time slot, Roulette continues to sweep despite offering reruns The data of D Heart It wasn’t much better on Saturday, when he signed a weak 5.5% (336,000 viewers) against Socialité’s 8%. Comparing Saturday against Saturday, Jordi also loses by a landslide against Anne. The most worrying thing is that D Corazón leaves a weak trail to the Telediario of La 1 of TVE, which is the one who pays for the mess of its opening act.
Jordi González himself announced that he was taking another break, as he said a week ago, before saying goodbye to the viewers. “I have ten seconds to thank Javi, Marina, Euprepio and Alba [los colaboradores] your presence in the program and for I want to tell you that I’m going on a little vacation.. And next weekend Anne Igartiburu will be here and then the next weekend we will both be here. Good afternoon,” said the journalist before leaving until August 31.
Jordi González has also just finished his work at the head of Blood ties with an audience that has not accompanied either. In fact, the presenter remembered this program during the last broadcast of D Corazón, when he made a dig taking advantage of a wordplay when he was talking about Isabel Pantoja and her niece Anabel. “We are going to talk about blood of her blood. Look, I could make a dig, Blood Ties, her niece Anabel Pantoja.” The square We don’t even talk about it anymore. Conception Cascajosa, President of RTVE, who has one month left in office if the Council does not renew her mandate, we should ask her why she pays 2,000 euros (an hour) to Jordi Gonzalez of public money, if the gossip space that precedes the Newscast It works better when we save that money (4,000 euros every weekend if Jordi is there on Saturday and Sunday). The de facto successor of the ousted Jose Pablo Lopez, the history of the house Ana Maria Bordas, Director of Entertainment and Outreach at RTVE, also does not explain whether she has a better idea about where to spend Jordi González’s 16,000 euros a month. Is there any defensible argument? Can public money be wasted like this? Is gossip an essential public service? Are Ana María Bordás or Cascajosa going to explain these things?
