Chinese Tales will not return to the screens, without even being able to say goodbye to the viewers. Telecinco has decided to eliminate the program presented by Jorge Javier Vázquez from the grid after only three weeks of broadcast due to its low audience data, in which it has been the last option in its time slot for almost all the installments offered since its premiere. , last September 11.
The space, produced by La factory de la tele, marked the communicator's return to television after the end of Sálvame last June, to which was added a medical leave that kept him away from the spotlight for a few weeks before. and that prevented him from appearing at the farewell of what has been his program for 14 years. However, Chinese Tales has not convinced viewers either and the program has only garnered bad numbers during its short run.
Barely 7% share is the average audience obtained by the only ten installments that have been broadcast of the program, which already suffered a severe setback last week when it disappeared from the grid on Thursday and gave all the prominence to the Gran galas. VIP brother. In addition, this week it obtained a historic minimum audience: 5.8% and only 776,000 viewers in a slot that continues to be dominated by Pablo Motos and El hormiguero.
The decision taken by Mediaset has been communicated through the press office of the television group itself, albeit in a concise manner: "Telecinco cancels Chinese Tales from today after not having obtained the expected results", thus confirming that there will be no new editions of the program despite not having had the opportunity to say goodbye to the audience in the last one, broadcast this past Wednesday, September 27.
With this cancellation, Jorge Javier Vázquez's future at Mediaset is once again up in the air. The truth is that the presenter maintains his contract with the communication group until 2025, as he himself confirmed in various interviews coinciding with the cancellation of Sálvame, which was announced last May.
It was in September 2022 when the then CEO of Mediaset, Paolo Vasile, renewed Jorge Javier's long-term contract with a company to which he has been linked since 2003. The document shields the communicator, who will not be able to leave the group. until its completion, so it will be the decision of the owners of Telecinco and Cuatro to place it in new projects from now on.
