Fans who assumed Save Me would vanish after a brief three hour window when the news of a 25 word surprise aired were mistaken. Even with a new rival show led by Christian Galvez, the program has decided to keep its place on the schedule, starting at 19:00, while the media landscape continues to evolve around it. The decision to extend the afternoon magazine into a longer broadcast reflects a broader strategy to maintain audience engagement and deliver more content during the day. As of Monday, December 19, the show will reach its final phase on Telecinco, continuing to captivate viewers with familiar faces and segments that have become a fixture of the daily lineup.
In this expansion, the controversial segment lineup anchored by Jorge Javier Vázquez, Adela González, Terelu Campos, and María Patiño will move forward with its established 16:00 start time. The show will still air as usual in that time slot, but from 19:00 onward it will transition to a different platform. The network has confirmed that the late afternoon hour will migrate to Mitele Plus, aligning with a growing trend where audiences are asked to subscribe for extended access. This shift was reported by reliable entertainment outlets and reflects the ongoing negotiation between traditional broadcast and streaming services to offer more comprehensive coverage to viewers who crave extra content beyond the standard broadcast window.
Industry insiders have learned that the Premium edition of Save Me will occupy roughly one additional hour and is expected to feature exclusive material designed to enrich the three hour broadcast. The aim is to entice subscribers to watch the extended episode and, in turn, bolster the appeal of the pay tier. The strategy appears to center on sustaining viewer interest throughout the day while creating value for paying subscribers who want a deeper, uninterrupted experience beyond the regular air time.
For a period, the production team faced the challenge of filling airtime without sacrificing the program’s core identity. Early discussions considered using the premiere format 25 words and the concept known as Chain Reaction as ways to stretch the content. However, leaders decided to preserve the existing cadence and focus on leveraging new subscribers to support a broader portfolio that includes Turkish series (Dizi), cinema offerings (AContra+), and assorted content on Mitele Plus. The objective remains clear: nurture a loyal base while exploring opportunities to grow the platform’s audience through varied programming, without overreaching or devaluing the main show that fans expect at certain times of the day.
