Save me, the longest-running Spanish afternoon program, will say goodbye on June 23 after fourteen years on the air. Since the end of the program was known on April 5, social networks have been flooded with messages both for and against its cancellation.
La Fábrica de la Tele, the producer of the program, has revolutionized social networks this Monday, May 15. They have published on Twitter the name of Save me written in the sand on the beach, followed by three dots. The followers of the program have drawn their own conclusions about it.
“I have zero doubts that #yoveosálvame is going to another chain or platform”, “Little things are coming”, “What does an ellipsis mean?”, “Long live”, “Say where and we will be there” or “Follow Save me? You have made me happy on a shitty Monday that I had”, some users have written.
La Fábrica de la Tele, in which Mediaset (MediaForEurope) has a 33% stake, suffered a major setback after the confirmation that Save me ends in June, as anticipated Informalia in scoop last Friday May 5th. The new leadership of Mediaset has entrusted the afternoons to Ana Rosa Quintana, which will lead the evening slot starting in September. Meanwhile, in summer, the program of Jorge Javier Vazquez will be replaced by a new format presented by Sandra Barneda.
The ‘war’ between Jorge Javier and Ana Rosa has a lot of background behind it. It is not a simple substitution of programs, it also has a lot to do with ideologies. The “reds and fags” program of the Badalona presenter will leave his space to the hitherto queen of the mornings, a public scourge of Pedro Sanchez. All just a few months before the general elections. Ana Rosa Quintana with her producer, Unicorn Content, will have a great dominance on the Telecinco grid, since her morning show will also continue with Joaquín Prat in front.
