“Why are you congratulating me?”

La Patrona moves to TVE. It is the news that is most popular this Wednesday afternoon and that is shared and commented on on social networks up to the Trending Topic. It was a matter of time before it reached the editorial office of Not even if we were shhh… and her own reaction Belen Esteban It hasn’t been long in coming: “Why do people tell me ‘Ole, I’m so happy? About what?”he asked his colleagues with his cell phone in his hand. “It’s just that I have the phone that I dropped from press people.”

Kiko Matamoros was the first to respond, followed by Marta Riesco: “Because you’re going to La 1”; “Because you’re going to be a presenter.” The talker’s face was a poem: angry, she looked at María Patiño while she hit her thigh with her hand and, with a restrained air, she turned her back on the camera and moved away to put her cell phone in her bag. The presenter, calmer, continued the game: “Seriously, when are you leaving, Belén?” And director Valldeperas also took the opportunity to add insult to injury: “Belén, well I don’t know anything and you’re not leaving here without my permission,” a comment that earned him one of Paracuellos’ killer looks.

As advanced Vozpopuli, the ex of save me is the star signing of TVE’s new afternoon show, designed to compete in the pink strip of Ana Rosa Quintana and Sonsoles Ónega. Its presenter will be Marc Giró, currently in charge of Late Xouand who this Tuesday tried his luck on La Primera with success after several seasons on La 2. In addition to Belén Esteban, there will also be María Patiño and Lydia Lozano, who is already a regular face on Mornings.

Although the landing of the faces of Sálvame on TVE began several months ago, it has intensified in recent weeks after the return of José Pablo López to the presidency of RTVE and the appointment of Sergio Calderón as the new director of TVE. This new stage opens the doors of TVE to the production company Fabricantes Studio (former Fábrica de la Tele), which warned a few weeks ago of its willingness to offer formats to TVE. “An opportunity opens up,” they told us. “Public television has to be television that competes and is competitive. From there, we will think about those products that can make public television competitive television, just as we have done for 20 years at Mediaset.” That same day, Belén Esteban spoke about the possibility of jumping to TVE afternoons. “I would love to compete with Sonsoles Ónega and Ana Rosa Quintana.”
