TVE’s recent decision signals a pause rather than a renewal for the program known as Let’s go further, at least in its upgraded form up to this moment. After one broadcast, the public broadcaster chose to suspend the project, a move that places the onus on Ana Morgade, the host who was responsible for communicating the show’s message to audiences across social media channels. The immediate consequence was not just a scheduling hiccup but a broader reflection on how risky formats are treated when early indicators fail to convert into a sizable audience. Morgade’s leadership on the show was meant to bridge studio energy with online engagement, yet the response from viewers pointed to a disconnect between the concept and what viewers wanted from late-night or afternoon programming. The decision to pause rather than push forward hints at a conservative approach from the network, one that weighs audience signals heavily before committing to a longer run. The behind-the-scenes reality is that a single broadcast can redefine a project’s fate, particularly in a landscape where competing channels and streaming options continually alter the bar for success.

The premiere, held last Tuesday, registered a modest 4.8% share and reached about 486,000 viewers. These numbers, while respectable in some niches, signaled to executives and producers a problem of reach and resonance that could jeopardize future airings. In statements shared with the press and reflected by industry observers, Morgade acknowledged that since the summer she had been working on a project that debuted with that first episode, but it was not going to continue on the planned grid. She noted the dedication involved, the long hours and the creative energy poured into the venture, and she stressed that despite the hard work, the audience engagement simply did not meet expectations. In a candid moment that underscored the pressure of live audiences, Morgade joked about the numbers, admitting that the show had drawn fewer viewers than teletext, a playful reference to the nostalgia of traditional broadcast methods while underscoring the gap in appeal compared with more contemporary media experiences.

The public narrative around the project is that it may be difficult to sustain momentum in its current form, even with the potential for revision and rebooting. The host has stated that if reforms are approved, she cannot remain in the program, and she is considering other creative avenues as plans diverge. The sense among insiders is that the effort would need clearer differentiation, sharper pacing, or a different mix of segments to reengage audiences. While Morgade emphasized that this is not the last time she will explore a television project, she framed the development as a clear end to the current attempt and a strategic pause rather than a definitive exit. The line she gave about this war being over captures a feeling of decisive closure for the moment, signaling a reallocation of energy toward new opportunities while leaving the door ajar for future collaborations in perhaps an evolved format or with new collaborators. The overarching message is one of measured disappointment tempered by professional resolve—exit doors open to new possibilities even as the immediate program ends its current chapter.

In the final remarks, the producer behind the venue expressed gratitude for Morgade’s trust, ideas, and the courage she brought to the project. The producer thanked the team and the audience, noting the moments of laughter and shared enjoyment that had emerged during the run. The closing sentiment from Morgade was warm and forward-looking: appreciation for the audience who watched and found value in the program, a lighthearted nod to ‘the little people’ who were brave enough to tune in, and a genuine commitment to continuing to bring humor to audiences in new formats and venues. The tone throughout suggested that while this particular project may have concluded, the relationship with viewers and the creative energy of the team would persist. As the curtain falls on this chapter, the emphasis shifts toward learning from the experience, refining ideas, and preparing for fresh opportunities to illuminate screens with a blend of wit, warmth, and shared moments that audiences have come to expect from the humor-driven side of public television.
