Farfán’s Satélite Plus Launches ‘La Manada’ With Reported 17,000 Viewers and Early Glitches

The celebrity-backed launch faces questions over unusual engagement metrics.

Overview

  • The live premiere drew about 17,000 concurrent viewers on YouTube, according to La República’s reporting.
  • Hosts acknowledged audio problems during the broadcast and offered apologies to viewers.
  • Early counts showed more likes than live viewers, prompting on-air jokes about bots without any independent verification of manipulation.
  • Same-day comparisons said the debut outdrew Todo Good’s “Good Floro,” while La Roro Network’s “Ouke” hovered near 15,000 connected viewers.
  • Peruvian creators responded with both support and skepticism, raising concerns about audience scale and the approach to an election year.
