The Copa del Rey football final between Real Madrid and Osasuna on May 6, broadcast by TVE's La 1, had an audience of more than 5.3 million viewers and a 39.5 % of screen share, the most viewed space in May. A month in which Antena 3 was once again the audience leader and it has already been 19 months, according to the Barlovento Comunicación report drawn up with data from Kantar Media.

In fourth place are the autonomous chains (8.7%) followed by La Sexta (6.2%), Cuatro (4.7%), Energy (3.1%), La2 (2.8%), FDF (2.6%) and Divinity (2.2%). This is the ranking of the first ten open chains, but also highlights the data of the set of more than 73 chains that make up the payment themes, with a 10.5% share and its best May in history.
By communication groups, Atresmedia (29.5%) regains the lead despite having one less channel than Mediaset (26.2%), while RTVE (15.2%) is the operator that rises the most by adding almost a point of quota Antena 3 news, with an average audience of 2,060,000 and an 18.9% share, are the most watched for 41 consecutive months.
