Sálvame turns 14 on the television grid this Thursday, April 27, and the program is going to celebrate it with a special programming with which it will pay tribute to Mila Ximénez, who died in June 2021 after a long illness. Jorge Javier Vázquez, Belén Esteban, Terelu Campos, Lydia Lozano, Kiko Hernández, Kiko Matamoros, María Patiño, Gema López or Chelo García Cortés are some of the veteran faces that will participate in the special, but how much have they changed since their beginnings in the program?
Surgeries, injectable cosmetics and the passage of time. All this has made many of the collaborators look unrecognizable while others have better endured the passing of the programs. Save me is a controversial program that has been described on many occasions as trash TV, it is the television space that accumulates the most complaints for not complying with the Self-regulation Code for Television Content and Children and its methods have been questioned since the scandal over the alleged illegal spying on more than 140 celebrities.
But the program is still on the air, reaping enviable audiences for 14 years. Sálvame premiered weekly on Thursday, March 19, 2009, in late-night hours after the first Survivors gala on Telecinco, but April 27 is the day it became a daily program, which premiered as an after-dinner program on the channel .
Multiple collaborators with different sections have passed through the program. For example, in 2010, María Teresa Campos joined the program as an "audience defender", or the actress Paz Padilla, who since 2009 presented the program a few days a week until she was fired from Mediaset at the beginning of 2022. Alba Carrillo, Rocío Carrasco, Antonio Tejado, Suso Álvarez, Laura Fa, Alonso Caparrós, Antonio Montero, María Lapiedra, Gustavo González, Víctor Sandoval, Miriam Saavedra, Jesús Manuel Ruiz, Antonio David Flores, Anabel Pantoja, Miguel Frigenti, Cristina Porta, Kiko Jiménez, Pilar Vidal, José Antonio Canales Rivera or Carmen Alcayde, are some of the leading faces that have gone through the program as collaborators.
But if there is something that really sets Sálvame apart from other programs, it is that the format has become a mass phenomenon. Despite multiple criticisms from many sectors, Save Me is still on the air. On December 17, 2014, the National Commission for Markets and Competition threatened Mediaset España with eliminating the Sálvame format for violating protected children's hours, but neither short nor lazy the program continued its broadcasts, adapting its content and ratings. by ages.
Since December 22, 2014, Sálvame is divided into several subprograms that are separated by a simple curtain. Currently, the program is divided into Sálvame Limón (4:00-4:58 p.m.), with more freedom to broadcast certain content, and Sálvame Naranja (4:58-7:10 p.m.), with more limited content because it is broadcast during protected hours, and It is also subdivided into Sálvame Naranja plus (19:10-20:00), in which once again there is more freedom to address some issues.
