Almost six years and 900 programs, that is the baggage that Andreu Buenafuente will leave
behind
in
Late Motiv
, the nighttime comedy program that will start at Movistar + back in 2016. Because both the platform and the producer, El Terrat, have
already set a date at the end of the space in December 2021
.
The Catalan will thus close the year and close the project.
But what will not be closed, according to the statement issued by Movistar +, of just three paragraphs, is the relationship of the communicator with his current workplace. "After this farewell to
Late Motiv
,
Buenafuente will continue to join Movistar + in other projects on the platform,
" says the letter issued this Monday at noon, which highlights that
Late Motiv
"has generated great television moments" during its seven seasons.
The end of this project, advanced by
Bluper,
is associated with the Catalan's intention to start a new fiction project of his own as the protagonist. A task that is difficult to fit into a daily schedule when carrying out recordings. This fiction could be one of the projects for which Movistar left the door to Buenafuente's future open. In the company, however, they refer to the press brief.
The presenter has also probed other projects to carry out. One of them linked to RTVE for a program that followed the nightly newscast, but that project, as confirmed by the public entity to this newspaper, has been rejected. That could have been Buenafuente's return to free-to-air television, which has not been present since Atresmedia canceled its program
En el aire
in 2015.
Another avenue that Catalan has explored is the one already taken by great American
late night presenters such as
David Letterman or Conan O'Brien:
abandoning the nighttime format on television to try their luck on
streaming
platforms
.
There, the option that the communicator has explored is that of HBO Max, which for just a month has launched its new model with which it seeks to grow in its implementation in our country.
This end of
Late Motiv
could also mean a change of cycle for one of the great promoters of the
late
format
in our country.
In the last two decades since his jump to national television, there have been several programs at this time that the Catalan has hosted:
Buenafuente, Buenas noche y Buenafuente, En el aire
and finally
Late Motiv,
his jump to pay television.
In fact, the Ministry of Culture recognized Buenafuente with the National Television Award in 2020 for "
the versatility of a professional career that encompasses
very different languages and formats, as well as the meeting in his creative personality of the different facets of the producer, the comedian, presenter or actor ".
The department headed by José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes at that time highlighted in the award that the presenter's ability to "incorporate exemplary innovations for new generations of professionals, highlighting his generosity in training and managing work teams."
