The curious question in focus was, “Who is my father?” The answer arrived with a bold surprise during the second broadcast as Carlota Corredera’s late night program seized the moment. In the wake of the death of King Emeritus’ presumed son, Juan Carlos, the show capitalized on the shockwave, drawing a solid audience and climbing to 14.1 percent ratings. The episode pulled in 1,191,000 viewers, signaling a strong performance that built on the success of its premiere and reinforced the program’s position in the ratings race.
Across the rest of the networks, the situation differed sharply. The premiere of LaSexta’s explanatory block, LaSexta Explica, did not manage to outshine its predecessor LaSexta Noche, maintaining similar numbers as the earlier program. Hosted by José Yélamo, the segment settled at 4.7 percent with about 457,000 viewers. In the same lineup, Great Confusion managed to break through with a modest 5.7 percent audience share, attracting roughly 609,000 viewers.
On Antena 3, the evening brought middling results for the movie slot El Peliculón. The broadcast Like Life Itself remained steady around 9.3 percent and captured 963,000 viewers. In contrast, Liam Neeson’s action feature The Passenger found a bit more traction, delivering 8.6 percent and 911,000 viewers, a modest improvement that underscored the competitive nature of prime time cinema on the network.
Afternoon programming delivered a surprising surge for Socialité, which shattered season highs under Núria Marín’s leadership with a 13.9 percent share and 905,000 viewers. Yet the late-afternoon block managed to steal the spotlight with The Wheel of Fortune, climbing to 17.3 percent and amassing 1,275,000 viewers. Later in the day, the momentum persisted as Antena 3 closed the window with Antena 3 Noticias Fin de Semana, the weekend news bulletin, reaching 20.5 percent and drawing 1,998,000 viewers, becoming the most-watched segment of the day.
As the afternoon rolled on, Aruseros Weekend entered with a respectable 5.3 percent and 472,000 viewers, while Telecinco’s Fiesta maintained steady interest, posting 12.4 percent and 1,096,000 viewers. The day’s schedule illustrated how different formats—late-night talk, cinematic blocks, daytime talk shows, and weekend news—each carved out their own niche, with audience preferences shifting in response to breaking events and the evolving television landscape. These numbers reflect a diverse viewer base that tunes in for a mix of entertainment, information, and personality-led programming across the major networks.
