To Jorge Javier Vázquez There is no shortage of boyfriends. At least in the professional sense. The new RTVE of Jose Pablo Lopez I would welcome him with open arms if I could pay him the salary that the Berlusconi’s pay him. Nothing new under the Sun if we remember the thesis of the new president installed by Pedro Sanchez in the Public Corporation, increasingly more commercial, with content intended to compete with private companies. What better face for salvage TVE that Jorge Javier?
It is not at all ruled out that Broncano ends up in Mediaset and Jorge Javier in TVE. But we don’t know how long. At the moment, the fashionable comedian has a contract for this and another season in the public. And Jorge Javier is at Mediaset with a long and expensive contract. Another thing is that José Pablo decides that instead of spending 1,270 million euros each year can ask for “a little more money”, like the Ronaldos, and take whoever they want like they take sporting events.
Jorge Javier from Badalona has done better in 2024 than in 2023, the year in which he lost his save me and his Deluxe and one of the loudest crackers on television hit with the resounding failure of Chinese stories. But this past year hasn’t gone so bad. The presenter, who seemed not to be liked by the new CEO of Mediaset España, carried out Supervivientes with good data, although the Fuencarral network seemed to hide it in Telecinco’s self-promotions. But Jorge Javier benefited above all from Mediaset’s change of direction after the renewal of Pedro Sanchez and the failure of Feijóo after July 23, 2023. One day it will be explained but, in the absence of explanations, we have the facts. Although the whys are missing.
Change of course after the July 23 elections
After the departure of Paolo Vasile, and with Borja Prado as president trying to arrogate executive powers without formally having them, Mediaset wanted to change the image and tone of its news. They destroyed the universe save me of the “reds and faggots”, they put Ana Rosa in the afternoons (which is not exactly “Ana Roja”), and they tried to retire Pedro Piqueras, with the center-left tone of the Informativos, with that of Vicente Vallés, very far to the right and critical of Pedro Sánchez. They tried to sign Vallés, despite it representing a radical ideological shift. But after the elections of July 23, Feijóo did not evict the socialist from Moncloa. Then everything changed: instead of looking for a right-wing News presenter, they hired Paco Moreno, head of Canarian regional television with the socialist and current Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory of Spain Ángel Víctor Torres, who he hired with the help of Pedro Piqueras to Carlos Franganillo. Borja Prado left the presidency and was replaced in the position by Zapatero’s former minister Cristina Garmendia, and Jorge Javier, close to the left and scourge of the right, was recovered for the cause.
In July, Mediaset España surprised everyone and everyone by renewing Jorge Javier Vázquez, who were once again entrusted with programs that worked for him in the past, such as Big Brother o There is one thing I want to tell you, in addition to instructing him to reactivate the after-dinner conversations with El Diario, which Patricia Gaztañaga once brought to success on Antena 3. However, El Diario de Jorge has not worked as expected and could disappear at any time and The Thursday galas of Big Brother have achieved the worst viewership data and the second worst share result of its 19 installments. Of course, the correct 16.2% screen share (doped by a prior) is more than expected and much more than what Telecinco can ask for, which is suffering the worst audience results in its almost 35 years of life. .
The recording of a pilot for Telecinco afternoons by Secuoya that was revealed by Informalia has caused nerves in the team Jorge’s Diary, that struggles not to lose its 8% share and is swept daily by Dreams of freedom of Antena 3 and almost surprised by the thriving everything is a lie of Risto Mejide in Four.
The former driver of save me has admitted his concern in an article published in Readings. “I was used to working without paying too much attention to the audiences because we had no rivals. Now I move in other coordinates: there is not a day that does not appear some news related to the cancellation of the program. Which leads me to remember one of the main characteristics of my job: instability.” “There are days when I return home really wanting to cry because things have not gone as I expected. Because what on paper was a good program later, for whatever reasons, has not been. But there are also other days, many, that I leave very happy. Very happy. With sensations very close to those experienced in the theater, so intense. And then I regain my enthusiasm again,” he adds.
Jorge Javier Vazquez accumulated a collection of hits in prime time and the afternoons that made him the star presenter of Mediaset España between 2007 and 2022. But the wear and tear of the Sálvame format and its subsequent cancellation, the KO of Chinese Tales and the failure of El Diario de Jorge They have lowered his status. Jorge Javier knows that if he is not out it is because they cannot find anything better. “I have to admit that I don’t dislike the feeling of having to fight to stay. It gives a certain epic component to my reality, which is usually quite prosaic. Continue or die, that is the question. Any hint of a green shoot becomes a reason for rejoicing and when things don’t go well, we have to grit our teeth and hope that the next day will be better,” he adds.
Return to provocation
A disappointing edition of Big Brother and the low follow-up to Jorge’s Diary They do not make it easier for the one from Badalona to grab the headlines as it did in the past. Perhaps this encourages you to look for political disputes, which does make you a topic of conversation on social networks. That and the scar he left Chinese stories They have led him to attack the man who destroyed him, Pablo Motos, and insinuate that the celebrities did not attend the failed show because of The Anthill, jumping on the bandwagon of anger and polarization commanded by Broncano from TVE.
Vázquez also seems to be bothered that Motos said that he would not fit in as a guest on the program, although with the visit of Belen Esteban It was evident that the driver of The Anthill has changed compared to the tabloid press (perhaps due to the competition of David Broncano). Atresmedia has turned a deaf ear to Jorge Javier’s darts, who a few weeks ago said he didn’t understand why he didn’t fit in as a guest at The Anthill, which according to him invites “people of dubious ilk who, in a climate of extreme kindness, have given speeches that would not pass the cotton test of a minimally democratic court.”
He says that David Broncano has hit Pablo Motos where it hurts most: “It has reminded you that no matter how much elixir of eternal youth you take and no matter how many pseudotherapies you put on your body, the years fly by. And that someone younger – and in this case more handsome – always appears to remind you that time “It happens for every top scorer.” The Telecinco presenter even crossed the line of bad taste in his attack against Motos. “What already causes me rejection is that excessive bulimia due to the success that Pablo Motos has, that lack of generosity with the rest of his colleagues who can take a few tenths of share from him, that excessive and pathological desire to always want to remain the only one.”
