Saturday's

prime time

television offer

is dominated by two live debate formats.

On one side

Saturday Deluxe

, the weekly version

premium

of

Telecinco

its brand

Sálvame

;

and on the other side

La Sexta noche

, the political gathering program of the

Atresmedia

network

.

In this context,

TVE

launches this Saturday (10.00 pm) its great bet of this season:

The first question

, a new space similar in terms of format -live debate-, but whose identity remains halfway to the products with which intends to compete.

"We are not going to deal with the political part", guaranteed the director of Entertainment of RTVE,

Toñi Prieto

, during the presentation of

The First Question

.

"It will be a program about what citizens want to know in a fun and entertaining way," she added.

"We want to give viewers content that is completely different from what they are seeing on other channels," she settled, distancing herself from the formats settled on the grid that will try to bite part of her audience.

"It will not be a political debate," insisted

Lluís Guilera

, former presenter of Informativos on TVE and the one chosen by the corporation to host

The First Question

.

"You can debate many issues without falling into the usual political debate," reiterated the journalist who makes his debut in the entertainment genre and who will be accompanied in the conduct of the program by

María Gómez

.

Together with them, the journalist

Pilar Eyre

, the comedian

Carlos Latre

and the social media expert

Pilar de Francisco will

participate in different fixed sections

.

However, although those responsible for the program were resounding in the unchecking of the usual content that their competitor

La Sexta noche

deals with

, they were not so blunt in terms of the terrain that is treading on

Saturday Deluxe

.

"In principle, the structure of the program does not contemplate that there are

contents of the heart

, but this is an open format that will evolve," said Guilera.

"If there is something current that splashes the world of the heart one day we are open to dealing with it," he added.

In principle, the format of

The First Question

, as explained by those responsible, will start with a structure in which there will be two rounds of debate, one with a more social content and the other with a more casual nature, and an in-depth interview with current figures all types.

To start this Saturday the program will broadcast an interview with the tenor

Plácido Domingo

.

In addition, the singer

Mónica Naranjo will

also participate in the debut program

.

The

first question

will be produced by RTVE in collaboration with the Catalan production company

Visiona TV

.

The law prohibits the public corporation from outsourcing informational programs, but given the possible incompatibility of this program currently focused on the norm, Toñi Prieto denied that there is any problem: “They cannot accuse us of anything because this is a entertainment program.

It is not an informational format

.

The space, according to the head of RTVE, was born with the vocation of occupying a quarter on the grid.

Each installment will be broadcast live and will last around

three hours

.

It will be held in Barcelona, ​​from set number 5 in

San Cugat del Vallés

.
