If nobody remedies it, 'Save me' has its days numbered. The new management in charge of Mediaset decided to end the broadcast of the program after fourteen years on the air. However, his production company has not given up yet. And it is that La Fábrica de la Tele has launched a web page with an intention addressed to the highest leaders of the country: to save the king of Telecinco afternoons from his disappearance. And it has worked well, perhaps excessively.
The producer of the program launched a portal to collect signatures for the Spanish Government and the Department of Culture, Tourism and Sports of the Community of Madrid. Its objective is to convert 'Sálvame' into an Asset of Cultural Interest, for having created "a new dictionary of popular expressions" and for being "the longest-running afternoon show on television". However, such has been the response of the followers that the page has collapsed.
Not even five minutes has the portal been standing before collapsing due to the immediate and massive response of the followers of the program. They have soon echoed through their Twitter profiles, where the petition has been launched. As of this writing, the portal is still down, proving that the show still has legs to run.
And it is that the program presented by Jorge Javier Vázquez has contributed to a large number of aspects of Spanish society since its premiere in 2009. Among the many reasons for declaring the program an Asset of Cultural Interest, the editor lawyer Jorge Albertini has also highlighted " contribution to the world of fashion by holding four editions of Sálvame Fashion Week", as well as explaining how 'Sálvame' can be understood as culture.
Despite the decision made by the new Mediaset management, the magazine team is doing everything possible to save its continuity. Requests like this are a good example of this, and the responses and reactions of the surrounding team also make him think. La Fábrica de la Tele published a message on Instagram questioning the end of 'Save me', while one of its collaborators was clear that this is not the end of the journey.
Antonio Montero left the seed of doubt after leaving the microphone open and saying clearly that the program "is not going to end." Whether it was a one hundred percent true comment or a joke is still unknown. At the moment the team and its followers are already mobilizing to avoid the closure of the magazine, and the first steps give good feelings.
