Antenna 3 marks two years under its current leadership with a solid performance that confirms the network’s position in the market. The primary channel in the Atresmedia group has kept a steady lead for twenty-four consecutive months, delivering an average audience share of 12.8 percent in October. Even with a slight dip of two tenths from September, the channel remains well ahead of its competitors, showcasing consistent appeal across diverse viewing habits.
Support for Antena 3 remains robust across key time blocks, from after-dinner and late afternoon to prime time. The network’s flagship programs continue to anchor its success, with sensations like El Hormiguero, Pasapalabra, La Ruleta de la Suerte, The Voice, and La Hermandad standing out as core pillars that drive steady audience engagement. In information, the channel remains a constant presence thanks to Antena 3 Noticias, reinforcing its leadership by maintaining the top spot for the forty-sixth month in a row.
In second place, Televisión Española continues to hold strong, despite a modest month-over-month decrease of one tenth of a point. Public television posts an average share around 10.4 percent, buoyed by autumn staples such as MasterChef Celebrity, which fuels daytime and late-afternoon performance in the flagship schedule. Afternoon viewers tune in to strong formats like Promise, Hunter, and Aquí la Tierra, while The Hour of 1 shows signs of growing audience in the morning hours, signaling a broad, schedule-wide pull across the day.
Telecinco remains in third place, dipping slightly after a double-digit October. The Mediaset channel closes the month at about 9.7 percent, a marginal rise of one tenth from the previous period. The network finds resilience in reality formats like GH VIP and Talented, which manage to protect prime time slots. Even when competing directly with Pasapalabra, Telecinco sustains a notable presence in the afternoon, keeping a place in the public conversation and offering variety to viewers who balance multiple tastes.
Rounding out the top tier, 6.5 percent is a steady share that aligns with a broader pattern observed across the major networks. The audience remains loyal to established shows and consistent viewing blocks, while the second tier channels continue to present a mix of entertainment, light drama, and informative programming. The overall picture points to a mature and predictable demand, with fans returning to familiar formats as new episodes and seasonal specials enter the lineup. These dynamics underscore a competitive landscape where scheduling, branding, and continuity play decisive roles in audience retention, even as fresh formats vie for attention and new viewers explore the catalog of available series and events.
