In a bold programming update, LaSexta announced a shift in its evening lineup. Tonight, a special edition of Target: elections will air, hosted by Ana Pastor, a move noted by the channel on its social channels. The change means the traditionally scheduled film slot will be paused so that the current affairs program can take the prime time position. This marks a clear investment in news coverage and live information, signaling LaSexta’s intention to foreground topical events and political analysis in its primetime schedule.
The decision follows a recent strong performance by LaSexta’s news-focused offerings. Last night, the standout special Al red hot: objective choices drew solid audience figures, achieving a share near 7.4% and reaching more than one million viewers. While these numbers place LaSexta behind some rival channels like Antena 3 and TVE in overall ratings, they demonstrate the channel’s ability to attract viewers to in-depth reporting and timely commentary during crucial news moments.
As part of the current week plan, The Objective will present a double feature dealing with the public’s perception and reception. In addition to tonight’s special, LaSexta has scheduled tomorrow a comprehensive interview between Ana Pastor and former Spanish politician Rodrigo Rato. The conversation is anticipated to cover pivotal parts of recent political and economic histories, framed by Pastor’s probing style and Rato’s firsthand experiences in government and finance.
Rodrigo Rato, who previously served as Vice President in the Aznar administration and as Minister of Economy, will discuss his later period of legal challenges and the events surrounding the Bankia case. The interview will provide context on his admission to Soto del Real prison in October 2018 and the implications of his conviction, offering viewers a candid look at the human side of high-profile political and corporate decisions.
Preview clips suggest that the conversation will address a range of sensitive topics. Journalistic questions are expected to touch on personal reflections about the early days of imprisonment, any regrets, and the potential for future penalties. The program aims to present a balanced, forthright discussion that situates personal responsibility within broader political and economic dynamics, inviting viewers to form their own conclusions about accountability, policy, and consequence.
