Broncano’s show is a pain, no matter how many people watch it, but before Christmas Mediaset will try to sign him

I belong to the immense group of Spanish women who from Monday to Wednesday barely saw a second, out of the corner of their eyes and without a voice, not even Pablo Motos ni a David Broncano: I estimate about 40 million non-viewers, according to non-audience data. But this Thursday, faced with the surprising audience figures aired by the fashionable preachers, I fell into the temptation of visiting this new television revolution called The Revolt, open version of The Resistance, that kind of naive rebellion, so effective, a topic of conversation in hair salons or more or less virtual bar counters.

The controversy that preceded the comedian’s debut of Jaen origin on TVE, the expectation created, the pull of a showman like Broncano, and the privileged and historical demarcation of the program, devouring a good while of the space occupied by the Newscast at nine o’clock at night, are undoubtedly some of the reasons for the undeniable success of this new bet by RTVE, a success that should be applauded with even more fervor if possible by the sanchistas who manage the Public Corporation. Not only because it works an idea from the President of the Government himself, not only because it is not as risky as moving Broncano from Movistar to La 1, but also because TVE’s successes have been very rare for some years now, and that helps us to better enjoy such rare successes.

Because, at Caesar what is Caesar’s, and the brilliant idea of ​​taking Broncano out of Movistar to put him on La 1 in front of Pablo Motos is Begoña Gómez’s husband. We were talking about the controversy that preceded the signing of Broncano in reference to the fact that, in order for the contract with the comedian to go ahead, The top brass of RTVE blew up, including the former president, who sacrificed himself, taking his number 2 with him, in the face of the conditions of the agreement demanded by the presenter and his partners, aware that the head of the Executive ordered the operation no matter what it cost, a ‘whatever it takes’ in the style of Lagarde, because it is clear that we can define Broncano as a very high interest rate, by the way.

The abrupt departure of Elena Sánchez due to her arrival at TVE has not been denied by Broncano. Precisely the best evidence that proves that the order to sign Broncano came from much higher up than the highest office of RTVE is that the comedian has not stopped denying that Pedro Sánchez has signed him. He denies it seriously and jokingly, in the program, in a press conference and in the interview he gave to The Country. (PRISA and the PSOE media guru José Miguel Contreras have closed ranks with the Broncano plan, logically).

The presenter insists that Pedro Sánchez has not signed him, but he does not say who has signed him, with name, position, date and other data that allow us to pull the thread in the hierarchy to see whose magnificent idea it was and, incidentally, find out who, if not Moncloa, has enough effective power to push through a contract of 24 million euros in RTVE that the president of RTVE opposes. Sorry: former president.

Broncano insists on repeating that he is not going to indoctrinate anyone and that Pedro Sánchez is not his father, As Raúl Cimas, this Thursday’s guest, joked. But we already said that Moncloa’s objective in putting Broncano there was not to pontificate by turning the comedian into a kind of Marxist hair growth salesman to the tune of The Internationale, but to weaken Pablo Motos, considered by Sánchez and his media makeup artists to be the most powerful scourge and the one who hurts them the most. But that objective has not been achieved. Pablo Motos won this Thursday and closes the best week in his history with a 20.5% average audience share, although Broncano has an incredible 18.4%. Motos is two points ahead of him, but the comedian’s success is fabulous. At least until now. Because Motos has not only not lost audiences, but has gained them since Broncano was on the show. What’s more, the one who is losing viewers is Wyoming, who is not exactly a media wizard of neo-fascism. Rather, it is a scourge of the right. And then there was Carlos Latre, who is no longer with us. Broncano’s information has surprised everyone, including the presenter himself and TVE, where they put a minimum of 7% in the clauses of his contract in order to be able to remove him, fearing his effectiveness on open television.

A quarter of the time they are clapping

Returning to the programme itself, one of the main conclusions we can share is that, at least this Thursday’s programme, was a bore. No matter how many people watched it. It was long and repetitive, disorganised and at times extremely boring. A quarter of the time they are applauding. If each programme costs 90,000 euros, they spend about 20,000 euros per night on applause.. And it is also visually poor: try listening to it without watching it, as if it were radio, and you will see that it does not lose much. Broncano’s television journey began at Movistar, he has arrived at TVE, and in a few months they will be offering him a contract at Mediaset, and he will accept it because it will be an offer impossible to refuse. As soon as he finishes with TVE he will land in Fuencarral. If the information about Broncano has surprised, even more surprising was the news that he signed for TVE to compete with motorcycles when we gave the scoop in February. But it has happened. Broncano ends up at Telecinco like Franganillo or Bertín Orborne. In time.
