Beyond ending the dictatorship of audience figures that ‘El hormiguero’ held, it is indisputable that ‘La revuelta’ has brought new ingredients to the access diary (or, as we will have to call it from now on, “the authentic prime time“). To begin with, and as we have already talked about on other occasions, an age group in the audience that until now remained in many cases away from the television at that time.
Music yes. Another element that Broncano’s program has unquestionably brought to the scene (we leave the quality of approaches and guests for another day, which are ultimately subjective issues) is live music. Very often, artists appear on stage to sing live, and people like Danna Paola, Ana Mena, Israel Fernandez, Judeline either Carin Leonbetween many other. Among the most talked about were the soprano Sonya Yoncheva because it is unprecedented for an artist of those characteristics to sing live on television, or Biznagawithin a punk style also very unusual on television. But none has been talked about as much as the farewell before vacation that he gave Amaia.
A walk around the stage. To present her new single, ‘I have a thought’, the Navarrese artist began what seemed like a more or less conventional performance within the program, singing acapella without warning, camouflaging his “gift” verses like those traditionally exchanged between David Broncano and his guests. Little by little, more musical elements appear in the song (keyboard, winds and strings, choirs) as the artist leaves the stage, crosses the audience and ends up reaching the street, where a band is waiting for her. A sequence shot of notorious complexity and mathematical preparation, as can be seen from videos like this one of an essay that shared Jorge Prieto, the steadycam operator.
3 days of rehearsal. That cost, According to VerTele, prepare this spectacular performance. In addition, it involved a considerable personnel effort, coordinated by the production company of the program owned by David Broncano and Jorge Ponce, Encofrados Encofrasa, with the participation of 13 musicians, 24 backup singers and 40 extras in the recording. ‘La Revuelta’ also had ten more people than usual to achieve this result.
Remote times. It reminds us of ‘La Revuelta”s attitude towards live music in the past on television, when an intervention by a musician on camera was an opportunity to demonstrate their talent, not an invitation to play tricks. Programs like ‘Aplauso’, ‘Popgram’a or ‘Musical Express’ were a reflection of times in which music was essential entertainment for the general public. Over time, tastes and the way of understanding music itself have changed, and only remnants of that remain: isolated programs such as the veteran ‘Los Concertos de Radio 3’, also on the public La 2, and above all, occasional moments in programs with format late nightwhich usually incorporate a band. But just as ‘La Revuelta’ does, in its purest form, with top-notch artists and at a privileged time, it had not been seen for years.
Also in ‘El Hormiguero’. In ‘El Hormiguero’ there have also been live performances, and usually from singers of greater international significance, as are usually the guests of Pablo Motos’ program. Men G, Yerai Cortes either Robbie Williamsamong many others, have played live, but the characteristics of the Antena 3 program make it possible less frequently. The merit of Broncano’s program, without a doubt, is in the space it offers to not so well-known artists and of lesser genres. mainstream, and who thus find an unusual projection at a privileged time. The merit of bringing live music to television, however, belongs to both of them.
The figures, as always. None of this helps ‘La Revuelta’ or ‘El Hormiguero’ to proclaim themselves winners of the duel they have been fighting for months. Yesterday, as usual, Broncano defeated Motos in the strict coincidence range, with 15.7% share and 2,002,000 viewers compared to 15.3% and 1,963,000. However, ‘El Hormiguero’ averaged more in the overall count of the day, although very little: only 31,000 more viewers and 15.4% of share compared to 15.1%. This is how both closed before the holidays in a close season from which we can now obtain data.
Damage balance. The consultant Windward CommunicationFor example, today they published an analysis in which they declared ‘La Revuelta’ the winner, which in these months has averaged 15.7% of share and 2,054,000 viewers compared to 15.6% and 2,036,000 for ‘El Hormiguero’. There is even more distance on average in the band of strict coincidence, with 16.3% of share of Broncano compared to 15% of ‘El Hormiguero’. A competition, in any case, healthy for the spectators and if it is giving us gifts like Amaia’s, it is welcome.
