Jorge Javier Vázquez, from fearing dismissal to renewing contract with Mediaset: he will continue until 2027

Jorge Javier Vazquez will continue at Mediaset. The presenter has renewed his long-term contract that will keep him linked to the audiovisual group until July 2027. The news, made public by surprise this Thursday, a holiday in much of Spain, occurs on the same day as Vázquez’s birthday (53 years old) and less than a week before the communicator premieres Jorge’s diary, a format which will mean his return to Telecinco afternoons.

Jorge Javier Vázquez arrived at Mediaset in 2003 and since then he has been the star presenter (Save me, GH, Survivors…). But everything changed a year ago, when he feared being fired coinciding with the end of Sálvame. The setback he suffered in 2023 was accentuated by the failure of Chinese tales. However, Everything has changed in recent months, because The network has once again made him its favourite presenter and has entrusted him with the most important projects. In addition to Jorge’s diary y Survivorsthe Catalan plans to present the new next season Big Brother of anonymous and There is one thing I want to tell you.

A few days ago we asked him precisely about this turnaround that his professional life has taken in just one year. “I am the example of what television is. Whoever wants to know what television is like, should look at me. In television, when the time comes, everything suddenly disappears.” In that same interview he also spoke about the possible renewal of his contract, which was initially scheduled for 2025.I have been living in this house for 22 years and I can’t find a better place to be.“And since I’ve been here I’ve never had much interest in moving.”

As we said, Jorge Javier’s employment relationship with Mediaset ended in the fall of 2025, after Vasile renewed it for the last time in 2022 before the director left the company. A few months ago, Jorge Javier himself confirmed that date as the one that marked the end of his contract. It was during an interview on La 2, with Carlos del Amor, when the presenter spoke about his future in a somewhat disconcerting way. “I have two years left, until 2025. I suppose I will continue, but whatever they decide will be fine. I work in television and television is not mine. New executives have arrived and I understand that they decide to do what they want with the puppets that appear on TV. If they count on me, perfect; if they think I belong to another era and now I don’t fit, well, perfect too.“.
