The premiere of Cuentos Chinos, Jorge Javier Vázquez's new program on Telecinco, which marks his reappearance after several months of television absence, does not convince viewers. If the setback hit on Monday, last night the number of spectators dropped again.
So much so that the figures that have already emerged at this time lead the new access time format of Mediaset's first channel to lower the average and face its biggest rival, El Hormiguero and Antena 3 Televisión. Neither Bárbara Rey nor remembering anecdotes about María Teresa Campos have served to keep the program afloat on its second day of broadcast.
Competing against a giant like El Hormiguero is complicated. It is visible. Not even another giant of communication, this time from the competition, such as Jorge Javier Vázquez with his followers and detractors, is able to handle it. It has been of little use to the Catalan to use humor by urging the audience to tune in to his program.
Not even that previous letter in which he addressed the Valencian where he introduced himself and threw the odd funny dart at him has worked to attract potential new viewers. Cuentos Chinos' strategy last night: invite Bárbara Rey and announce her as her collaborator by surprise. She had no pull.
Chinese Tales only had a screen share of 7% with 940,000 viewers compared to Pablo Motos y su Hormiguero with 15.4% share and 2,026,000 viewers thanks to the visit of the actors Inma Cuesta and Luis Tosar.
For the second consecutive day, Antena 3 Televisión's program had twice the audience of Telecinco. In addition, to this was added an important handicap: the European classification of the Spanish soccer team against Cyprus. The match won everyone with a 24.5% share and 3,070,000 viewers, in turn boosting the second installment of El Conquistador to a 12.5% share and 1,200,000 viewers.
