Broncano leaves Movistar and signs for TVE to compete against ‘El Hormiguero’, as Informalia announced exclusively

Informalia announced it exclusively days ago and the contract is about to be closed. David Broncano leaves Movistar and signs for TVE to compete against The Anthill of Antena 3. Starting next week, and once it is ratified by the board of directors of the public channel, The resistance It will be broadcast on La 1 after the Telediario, in a head-on collision with the space presented by Pablo Motos.

The agreement that TVE and Encofrados Encofrasa have reached, the production company that Broncano shares with his colleagues Ricardo Castilla y Jorge Ponceincludes a period of three years for about 14 million euros maximum for each season of The resistance. Currently, TVE broadcasts the series in access prime time. 4 starswhich had a budget of 14 million for 100 episodes.

Broncano’s contract and The resistance with Movistar ends this June and the presenter’s future had been up in the air for months. Although he has had other offers, including Mediaset, TVE has been the only one that has been able to accept the three seasons that the comedian set as a condition for taking the program to another network.

The signing of David Broncano for TVE is “specially pleased” by him himself Pedro Sánchez, as confirmed to Informalia sources of all solvency, and José Pablo López, content director of TVE, wanted to please the president of the Government by closing an agreement so that the showman compete face to face The anthill from Antena 3, presented Pablo Motos, whom Moncloa considers one of the most “dangerous” media enemies of sanchismo.

With the arrival of The resistance to La 1 – a generalist, open-air and, above all, public channel-, Broncano will have to apply many changes in a format that has content that is not suitable for all audiences and much less if it is broadcast on access (from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.) instead of late night. In other words, Broncano will not be able to ask her guests how many times she has had sex in the last month or if she has recently practiced onanism.

Many may think that Broncano’s departure would be a blow to Movistar Plus+, which after the elimination of channel #0 has cut its entertainment bets. It is true that in this field The resistance It is something of an emblem but it is not a cheap program. Juan Andrés García Ropero ‘Bropi’, head of Entertainment at Movistar Plus+, showed confidence in the month of December in the renewal of the program presented by David Broncano. “The truth is that it is a pleasure to have a job with such a brutal impact. And after so much time, this May they will complete 1,000 programs and there is a lot of merit in doing what they do every day. The truth is that I don’t think it will take us long to understand with them, but we have not yet started negotiating. We are focused on the current season and it is too early to address the renewal,” he said. Outside of micro, however, sources on the Telefónica platform did not exhibit much consensus in favor of retaining Broncano at any price. On the other hand, sources close to Broncano indicated that Informalia that, although Movistar Plus+ guarantees a certain stability to the showmanpossibly with a contract for three years, A jump to free-to-air television “would be a great professional challenge for him” because he would target a larger audience.

Prime Video bought the latest project from Broncano’s production company

Broncano, together with Ponce and Castella, established Encofrados Encofrasa SL in May 2021, with headquarters on Ferraz Street, and was launched with a share capital of 3,012 euros. The corporate purpose of the company is the “organization, direction, production, management, distribution, marketing and general exploitation of musical and/or dance shows, theatrical, cinematographic, television works, fashion shows, showrooms, and/or any another kind of artistic representation, both in Spain and abroad”. The resistance It is their main project for Movistar Plus+, which also entrusted them with a second project “that did not meet expectations,” say sources close to the platform. This space was Good job, which was conducted by three collaborators from The Resistancea, Marcos Grison, Candela Peña and Antonio Resines. The intention of Movistar Plus+ was “to see firsthand that, although the routines are very different, perhaps the reasons that move these workers to make all that effort are not so different. And a lot has to do with passion and choice of life that each one considers”. Grison, Peña and Resines asked several professionals why they had chosen to “invest their day in a certain job, why they continue in that work and what is the legacy to leave or the future to pursue” and “who is the person behind the worker, What excites or frustrates you?

David Broncano signed for the failed Good job to the proven Peke Staracci, who previously directed one of the presenter’s favorite spaces, GEO: Beyond the limit, which was broadcast by Prime Video. The Amazon platform, curiously, was the one that bought Encofrados Encofrasa’s latest adventure. This project was an update of the mythical yellow humorrenamed as Takeshi’s Castle and produced by three of the brains of The resistance (Jorge Ponce, Miguel Campos and Javier Valera).
