• 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.

'Reventón' by Sonsoles Ónega at the premiere of And Now Sonsoles

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.
