Telecinco is in the process of remodeling its television schedule and has therefore launched its new daily series. The audiovisual group announced just a few days ago that today was the day chosen to start its new fiction bet. With this new decision, the Sálvame program has had to cut its contents by one hour.
This decrease in broadcast time comes just two weeks before the definitive end of the social chronicle program, which will say goodbye to all its viewers on June 23 after more than 14 years occupying Telecinco's afternoons.
The new fiction bet of the chain has been Mine is revenge. A daily series starring Lydia Bosch and that will be broadcast from Monday to Friday at 3:45 p.m. The creation of this series is part of the new programming that the new executive leadership of the chain wants to implement, which is trying to give Telecinco a new image to recover the audience that they have been losing over the years.
But the premiere of the series has not been without controversy. One of its main actors, Armando del Río, has given an interview to El Televisero, to promote the new Telecinco serial. The actor has also spoken about the decision to cancel Save Me. "I think that if we are going to be the ones who go instead of 'Save me,' they should thank us. You have to change the chip a bit in this country. Leaving 'Save Me' themes, I don't know if to watch a daily series or to read a book," he declared.
"If the public saw Sálvame because of troubles and love affairs, they also have to get hooked on these characters," he confessed. These words have not been well received on social networks, which have caused a barrage of criticism, especially from those most attached to Jorge Javier Vázquez's program, who have not seen these statements well.
After the great stir that his words have caused, Armando appeared on Twitter to clarify the controversy. ''These people put quotes wrong, I didn't say exactly that, but what does it matter... Everything has an end and 14 years is not bad, but we have nothing to do with it. We are other pawns in his chess '', he assured.
