Member of an illustrious saga of television communicators, he faces a new season on the small screen with his usual chascarrillos.
Matías Prats, about his energy company: "It generates electricity, but it does not generate much more"
If Matías Prats were not an informative presenter, perhaps in a parallel universe it could have been an equation, or a mathematical constant. The constant of Prats is evident, it is as clear in his statement as E = mc2: time passes, and it is shown that it is relative, but it does not change just, which makes it a category of the absolute to which they would have lent Attention the medieval theologians, and, as we neglect, we will also become an empirical manifestation of the infinite. That is to say, we will leave (and the birds will remain singing, as in Juan Ramón Jiménez's poem), but he will continue there with the birds, or on the set of Antena 3 , telling the news with a final script twist that cause perplexity or, hopefully, an emission of laughter.
It is true that the passage of time is noticeable on his face, no longer as smooth as when he gave, years ago, the results of the pool in Spanish Television ('Estudio Estadio', when the times of the moviola, which Pedro Ruiz invented ), but does not change the pose, or the look, or the closeness or, of course, the humor. A few years ago, he attributed it to him as a man who maintained certain routines invariably: for example, cutting his hair once a week. Thus the viewer does not notice the change: Matías is always the same, every day of the week. Even when the procession goes inside: he was widowed in 2012 -Mayte Chacón had been his life partner since 1980, mother of his two children - and has had to go through the operating room. But nothing separates him from his vocation and responsibility.
As we said about Jordi Hurtado recently, Matías Prats belongs to that select minority of workers who have been able to say that they went in and out - if Prats ever leaves - of the same job without ever changing. In the case of the veteran presenter, already turned 66, what has changed is his position on the dial - from public television to Antena 3 -, but that is reasonable in the guild.
The approach has also changed: it began with sports, under the direct influence of his father, Matías Prats Cañete , a locutionist modernist who invented the Spanish lexicon to speak passionately about football and bulls in 20th-century Spain, and it's over in the general information. But the constant remains, and even extends into new generations: his son, Matías Prats Chacón, is also a long-standing face of the small screen. A saga of power (media) through which the history of modern Spain could be explained.
The perseverance, the extensive working life, the high level of the positions held and the good head have made Matías Prats, in general, a lucky man. In recent weeks we have known that age is beginning to bother him with some pain, and in 2015 he had to depart from the presentation of the Antena 3 night news for a few months to undergo an eye operation because of a retinal detachment , a risk that he had been running for 15 years, because of a stroke of a tennis ball he received near the eye, and that left him a latent injury.
In any case, that circumstance, which could have been more serious to the point of withdrawing you from work in front of the cameras, is no longer a risk as sharp as before. He has taken it with humor and, honoring his ingenuity for the chascarrillo , said that for some time now he saw the blurry news.
And if at any time you have to opt for early retirement, you will not go empty: according to 'Jaleos del Corazón', Matías Prats is an administrator of two companies -MP Babas SL and Photovoltaic Tarazona Trece SL- that are decided, respectively, to the representation of media professionals (and the production of formats), and solar energy. The second is the one that performs best, up to half a million euros of income - although with a high operating cost that does not leave much net profit margin.
Obviously, what gives him money is the salary on television and, of course, his advertising contracts. If his setmate, Monica Carrillo, is dedicated to poetry, he is dedicated to announcing banks . All added up, it gives you a comfortable position as a result of your effort, your charisma and how salty it is.
