“Don’t miss tonight’s program.” This is how ‘La Revuelta’ started, promising a program that never came to fruition. ‘El Hormiguero’, however, started with a great guest, with Hugh Grant, who elegantly and politely entered Pablo Motos’ set to the applause and shouts of those present. However, David Broncano warned viewers of an event that recently occurred on set. “Today something happened, which I think has surely never happened on television in Spain.” “Today there is something very special,” they acknowledged. ‘La Revuelta’ had been left without a guest at the last minute. «I’m going to give the headline first and we explain the situation. Today Jorge Martín, Moto GP world champion, was going to come. At 4:30 p.m. they told us that in ‘El Hormiguero’ they found out that he was coming here today, and since in theory he was going there next week and they don’t want anyone to come here before there… Jorge told us that he cannot do the interview. A complicated night for Broncano.
And the hearings have passed judgment. ‘El Hormiguero’ scored a 15.5% share last night, gathered an average of 1,973,000 viewers and beat Broncano according to data from Dos30′ on figures from Kantar Media. Meanwhile, ‘La Revuelta’ registered a 13.6% share and attracted an average of 1,778,000 viewers on the night. Although Hugh Grant shined among the spectators and defeated a Broncano who had to manage the fall of a guest at the last minute, the Hollywood guests in ‘El Hormiguero’ usually make a good tip regardless of whether there is competition or not.
Although David Broncano and his team have boasted throughout the season about their “capacity for improvisation” that viewers were able to observe when they decided to bring in the guest coordinator when their guest fell in October, or when they decided to make a call through the networks social after a guest fell at the last minute, last night curiously they decided not to continue with the program. As ABC has learned, RTVE sources assure that the program was recorded with Jorge Martín, the Moto GP world champion, but that after speaking with the team it was decided not to broadcast the interview after learning of the conditions imposed by ‘The Anthill’.
The “veto” of ‘El Hormiguero’ is not something new despite the fact that this Thursday night some viewers discovered the conditions of Pablo Motos’ program. As ABC explained, the management of the guests in ‘El Hormiguero’ is done more than three weeks in advance of the final interview. Meanwhile, ‘La Revuelta’ boasted of improvisation, of last-minute management. During Mario Casas’ visit to ‘La Revuelta’, after having passed through ‘El Hormiguero’, the actor and Broncano were joking about the conditions of the Motos program without any importance. “We don’t care if people go there rather than here,” to which Mario Casas responded: “I don’t think it matters to them.”
The exclusivity conditions of channels like Antena 3 are not a new issue and were not born as a result of the competition in ‘access prime time’ this season. For years now, ‘El Hormiguero’ raises these conditions from the chain like any other private chain. Furthermore, as ABC has learned, the guests, who know three weeks in advance of their participation in ‘El Hormiguero’, are fully aware of these conditions and are reiterated to them on numerous occasions.
