With only a week and a half of duration, La Plaza, TVE’s new bet for the afternoons of La 1, will say goodbye to viewers today, Friday, according to El Televisero and confirmed by EL PAÍS. The program presented by Jordi González did not meet the expectations of the public broadcaster, which preferred to find a quick solution so that the space, which only reached an average of 6.6% of the screen share, did not take advantage of the channel’s good data more affected the rest of the afternoon programs of La 1. In this way, the new battle for supremacy of the afternoons proposed for the new season between Ana Rosa Quintana, Sonsoles Ónega and Jordi González has already claimed its first victim.

The show, a magazine show with a talk show consisting entirely of women (except the host), premiered on Wednesday, September 27th. His arrival on the afternoons of La 1 meant the disappearance of the competition The Wild Card, which returned to air with unaired episodes to fill the gap left by the magazine. According to official TVE sources, the square remains “in workshops”, meaning it will be withdrawn to reconsider its future and whether it can be restored in some way or redesigned or converted into a weekend format if it changes its name. . , or it won’t come back. They also confirm from RTVE that Jordi González remains associated with the channel despite this cancellation.
The dates for La Plaza when it premiered on September 27th didn’t bode well. The share remained at 7.8% and 563,000 viewers, a far cry from the 12.8% and 14.4% achieved by the two episodes of “The Promise” scheduled that day. On Tuesday, October 3, it hit a low of 5.4%, dragging down The Hunter, the subsequent competition, which remained at an 8% share.
