Overview

• On July 8, in a podcast interview with Juan Ramón Lucas, David Cantero described Mediaset’s proposal to cut his salary as irregular and without justification.
• He publicly declared he would pursue legal action rather than accept the pay cut, accusing the network of an illegal demand.
• Mediaset and Cantero negotiated for five days, culminating in what he called a “dignified and convenient” exit agreement he signed in March.
• RTVE announced on July 5 that Cantero will co-host Radio Nacional de España’s afternoon show next season alongside Juan Ramón Lucas.
• The move marks Cantero’s first radio role after over three decades in television and supports RNE’s broader effort to refresh its schedule.
