His conversations about culture grace News and other TVE programs, infusing warmth into storytelling and letting poetry breathe through explanations. The unique style feels deliberate and unhurried, a pace that respects the subject rather than rushing through it. This signature approach belongs to Carlos of love, born in Murcia in 1974, a presenter who once transformed television’s perceived slow lane into a compelling interview space on the show Mathematics of the Mirror. He is now recognized with the prestigious Ondas award, and his wish is simple: he hopes other programmers will embrace the same openness toward cultural informants that he does.
Already a recipient of the Ondas for best presenter, it was nearly unimaginable for him to see it come to pass. The moment arrived as he moved through the Albéniz Palace gardens, an atmosphere that felt almost surreal. On the outside, the scene appeared unreal, and in truth he is not a lifelong host in the conventional sense; he is still discovering what his professional identity truly is.
Maybe a poet, some might wonder. He answers with a thoughtful smile, acknowledging the value of cultural knowledge being rewarded. Too often, such information is dismissed by audiences with only minutes left for entertainment. He takes pride in being part of a project that honors culture and in receiving recognition for that commitment. He sees this achievement as the result of communicators who care deeply about culture, and seeing one’s name among the honored list carries meaningful resonance.
He is frequently described as a poet because his introductions are richly detailed and he takes time to illuminate what truly matters. In contemporary television, many moments are cut quickly to capture attention, but his approach feels like a luxury that invites viewers to slow down and listen carefully.
He asserts that public television enables these kinds of explorations. The year-end recap broadcast on December 31 offers thirty-five minutes that assemble voices from across the cultural landscape. It also allows a thirteen-minute segment to be produced and shared with the major reporting program Informe Semanal. It even reserves a couple and a half minutes for Miguel Hernández’s chronicle. He increasingly advocates slow TV, a pace that fosters reflection, thought, and genuine enjoyment of culture. It remains a privilege to work in a space where such deliberate pacing is possible.
And yes, the reward matters. Being recognized with an award brings a lasting sense of pride that lingers long after the ceremony ends. When asked about appearing on a private platform or chain, he speaks of a future where producers stay deeply connected to culture. He already collaborates with them and hopes this happiness will extend to his colleagues as well. He envisions a landscape where audiences remain engaged and where culture does not lose importance. He believes any programmer who understands this must participate in the effort that sustains cultural programming.
From the outset, his work has stood out for a profound respect for cultural informants and a willingness to slow the tempo to allow ideas to breathe. The conversations unfold with patience, offering space for context, nuance, and reflection. Viewers experience more than entertainment; they encounter an invitation to explore the layers of culture that often go unnoticed in faster formats. This approach creates a meaningful connection between the audience and the cultural subjects, turning listening into an active, shared journey.
His philosophy extends beyond individual programs. It shapes his collaborations with producers who share a commitment to culture and to audiences that want depth, not just data. He envisions a broadcasting environment where culture is not a side note but a central thread that weaves through every segment. In his view, programming that respects cultural complexity can sustain engagement without compromising accessibility. This belief fuels his ongoing efforts to promote thoughtful pacing, careful storytelling, and a respectful presentation of cultural material.
Critics and colleagues alike praise the way he humanizes cultural topics. He proves that a well-told story about culture can be as gripping as a fast-paced documentary, perhaps more so because it invites the viewer to linger, to ponder, and to return for another look. The strength of his approach lies in trust: trust that audiences will stay with the narrative when given time to absorb it, trust that cultural stories deserve a place where they can unfold with intention. This trust forms the cornerstone of his work and underlines why his contributions are celebrated with distinction.
Looking ahead, he remains committed to collaboration that elevates culture across channels. He sees a media landscape where producers are more connected to cultural communities, where audiences are kept engaged by thoughtful programming, and where the respect for cultural knowledge never wavers. He believes every programmer who appreciates this mission should participate in the ongoing dialogue that sustains cultural programming for diverse audiences across North America. .
