Overview

  • 'La familia de la tele' has been split into two distinct blocks: María Patiño leads a gossip-focused segment, while Aitor Albizua and Inés Hernand handle current affairs.
  • The changes follow on-air tensions, including Belén Esteban's announcement of her intent to leave, citing dissatisfaction with the format.
  • RTVE's news council and 132 former employees have criticized the show for undermining the network's credibility and public-service mission.
  • Despite the restructuring, audience figures remain alarmingly low, with viewership falling to 5.5% in some segments, raising doubts about the show's viability.
  • Reports suggest staged on-air confrontations and fabricated executive appearances were used to manage the fallout from poor ratings.
