LOC 'Sálvame': Tired of a format or its famous collaborators?
TV The save me maneuver that squeezes Sonsoles Ónega
Since the day that
Anena 3
announced the time and date of the premiere of the
Sonsoles Ónega
programme ,
And now Sonsoles
, the bets to see if
Telecinco
would withstand the blow with
Sálvame
or counter-programmed with some knock-on effect have been constant.
Finally,
Telecinco
has made the decision: save
me
short to offer the successful series
Café con aroma de mujer
.
Starting this Wednesday, as announced by
Mediaset
,
William Levy
, the series' protagonist, will be the face that occupies the slot from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the broadcast slot for
YNow Sonsoles
.
TV
Antenna 3.

For the premiere of the series,
Telecinco
has decided that a double chapter will be broadcast this Wednesday, with which
Sálvame
will go from almost 5 hours of daily broadcast to just over 3 hours.
What
Mediaset
does not say is whether this surprising change in its programming will be daily or will be only one day a week.
In other words, it is unknown if
Café con aroma de mujer
will be broadcast from Monday to Friday in the 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. slot, if it will only be broadcast on Wednesdays, or if
Telecinco
is still undergoing trial and error to definitively shorten the one that has been for many years his flagship,
Save me
.
At the moment, the premiere arrives this Wednesday, with a double chapter, so the adventures of Sebastián (
William Levy
) start with two hours of broadcast (each chapter lasts about 50 minutes), which will probably remain in one, although It
remains to be decided if they will always be in the 7:00 pm slot or after trial and error, it will end up being broadcast from 8:00 to 9:00 pm, thus hooking up with the
Pedro Piqueras
news and trying to scratch some of the
Pasapalabra
audience .
Although the premiere of
And Now Sonsoles
further accentuated the loss of audience for
Sálvame
, the truth is that after that 17.6% audience share on the first day, the
Sonsoles Ónega
program gradually stabilized and at the end of the week ended by 13.1% without surpassing the edition of
Sálvame
with which it coincides,
Sálvame Naranja
, which on average last week was just over 14%.
Following
Antena 3
's tactic of not broadcasting advertising during the hour of
Y Ahora Sonsoles
,
Sálvame
stopped the flight of spectators.
However, it seems that
Mediaset
has made a decision that a year ago it would not even have considered: change its afternoons after 9 years, put
Save me
to bed and program a soap opera, which works so well for its main competitor.
However, with
Mediaset
you never know if this will be your definitive programming or you will want to check the audience for the
William Levy
series and then turn the programming around and place
Café con aroma de mujer
in another slot.
It is not the first time that it happens with the series.
They are programmed in a slot, the series does not work the first two weeks and
Telecinco
ends up relegating it to another time slot, or programming it on its second channel,
Cuatro
.
This historic change in your afternoon grill is undoubtedly historic.
For 9 years,
Save Me
has been the immovable program of that strip.
It has been a leader, with exceptional audience shares, for years, but since
Telecinco
lost its leadership, a year ago now, the afternoons of the main
Mediaset
network have been losing audience without those responsible knowing what to do to recover everything lost after the departure of
Pasapalabra
to
Antena 3
.
The fall of Save me began when
Pasapalabra
began to mark audience ratings impossible to beat.
Afternoons became
Antena 3
with the surprising success of
Tierra amarga
and later with
Pasapalabra
.
Antena 3
only had to
improve the slot of
Boom!
and they decided to bet on a live window and on the signing of the year:
Sonsoles Ónega
.
The arrival of
Sonsoles Ónega
has been the finale for
Mediaset
to have made the decision to start trying to find a change in their afternoons.
So far, they have done so with one of the most successful series on
Netflix
,
Café con aroma de mujer
.
The series, an 88-chapter remake of the 1990s telenovela, tells the love story of Gaviota (
Laura Londoño
) and Sebastián (
William Levy
) on a Colombian coffee plantation.
Café con aroma de mujer
has remained at the top of the most watched series for more than ten consecutive weeks after its premiere and has reached number 7 in the ranking of the most watched non-English speaking series in the history of the platform.
However, this does not ensure success since
Telecinco
experienced failure in prime time when it premiered
Pasión de gavilanes
.
One of the most watched series on the platform and which ended up being banned on
Telecinco
due to its low ratings.
