• Appointment of Mamen del Cerro, new TVE news director

  • Public TVE will cancel Cintora's program in July and the presenter will leave at the end of June

First meeting of the Board of Directors in the new stage of RTVE and the revolution reached the public entity. The Corporation executed Wednesday an amendment to all the earlier stage of Rosa Maria Mateo: He turned to his chief information officer

, recovered reporters degraded in that period and put an

end date of the bets on the grid,

The

things clear

, the program presented by Jesús Cintora.

The first movement was the appointment of Mamen del Cerro as director of News to replace

Enric Hernández

. The veteran journalist, who has worked in the entity since 1983, will be in charge of coordinating the editorial part of television, radio and the digital part of RTVE and complies with one of the premises that President

José Manuel Pérez Tornero

had set for himself since the beginning for the position: a woman with experience in the entity.

Underneath the hitherto news director of RNE, a position she held since August 2020,

Miguel Ángel Idígoras

will be on television

. The former correspondent in London was relegated from the British capital during the mandate of the former sole administrator and sent to the territorial delegation of TVE in Vitoria. With this appointment, advanced by EL MUNDO, the journalist returns to the front line of the corporation.

Enric Hernández will be in charge of the digital part after being removed from the Information Department, which disappears after being created

ad hoc

for Catalan in the previous stage. The former director of

El Periódico

was going to be sent to Catalonia to direct the digital part, but, according to Prado del Rey sources, he rejected it and will finally end up in RTVE Noticias, the public section. However, other sources point out that this is not closed and there could be a definitive solution.

An exit that will take place in the case of Jesús Cintora and his program

Las things clear

. Pérez Tornero promised yesterday, according to sources in the negotiation, to end the format on July 23, just before the Olympic Games, and the departure of its presenter will be at the end of June. That will leave the passage of

things clear

on the grid of La 1 in just eight months.

The informative movements, ratified unanimously, will also be followed by structural changes in the corporation. At that point the addresses of TVE, RNE and Comunicación disappear, which were now occupied by

David Valcarce

,

Ignacio Elguero

and

María Escario

. Elguero will go on to coordinate in a new position the cultural part of the public entity and the Office of Communication and Institutional Relations will be headed by

María Eizaguirre

.

The Corporate General Management, held by

Federico Montero

, who, as EL MUNDO had already reported said goodbye to his colleagues last week, will now be in the hands of

Marta Torralvo

. And

Amalia Martínez de Velasco

, who had developed her career at Samsung and Paramount, will be in charge of directing the Content part, an essential area to refloat the audience of a public television, which in recent months has sunk to historical lows, between 8.3 and 8.7% share.

Once these first movements have been executed in RTVE, which represent a total change of course with the stage of Rosa María Mateo, it does not seem that the changes are going to slow down.

According to internal sources of the corporation consulted by this newspaper, the continuity of

Mónica López

at the helm of the morning

La hora de La 1

is not guaranteed and there could even be variations in the presenters of some of the Newscasts.

In addition, the new management will have to look for a replacement for the belt of Cintora, whom Pérez Tornero had already sentenced in his appearance in the Congress of Deputies in April when he affirmed that the "

infoshow

" had no place on the TVE grid.

But first, the president will ratify the changes already made today in his speech in the Senate.
