TVE cancels the ‘Grand Prix’ with an hour’s delay due to the celebration of the National Team and receives a flood of criticism

TVE viewers who were waiting for the Euro Cup celebrations to end this Monday so the match could begin Grand Prix They were left wanting more, because the special broadcast was extended beyond its expected length and the public channel decided to cancel Ramón García’s programme. The problem and the controversy arose due to the delay with which TVE announced the change of plans.

TVE had scheduled the start of the second program of the season of Grand Prix at 10:30 p.m., half an hour later than last week to allow time to see the national team celebrations that took place this Monday in Plaza de Cibeles (Madrid).

The special program has been extended more than expected, but TVE He kept a ‘fly’ warning that the Grand Prix would start ‘next’. This was the case until after 11:00 p.m., when the announcement disappeared and was replaced by the announcement of the program of the Chábeli brothers and Julio José Iglesias that is broadcast on Tuesdays.

TVE has not commented on the Grand Prix on any of its channels, while the audience continued to wait bewildered. After 11:30 p.m. the public channel did so through the program’s X account to warn that “tonight is for them,” referring to the players of the National Team, because “they are the champions of Europe.” The program also warned that it would return to the programming “soon” with the second episode of the season. “Thank you for being here.”

That message, also shared by other accounts of the Corporation, has been the only message from the public channel, while the criticisms began to multiply in X, not so much for the cancellation itself, but for the delay with which the audience was notified, one hour later than the scheduled start time of the program. By the way, lThe commentators of the special of the Selection have not made a single mention of the change of TVE programmingIn other words, anyone who does not have an X account has not been informed of the public channel’s decision.

After the celebration special, TVE has broadcast a rerun of the first programme of this season, the same one that was shown last Monday and this Sunday morning.
