TV Drama Builds Around David Broncano’s RT TVE Debut
David Broncano has emerged as the season’s marquee signing for RTVE, fueling anticipation about his formal entry into the public television landscape. Reports circulating last Tuesday, July 9, provided early data on the move, as commentators from the Spanish Eurocup semi-final offered details about Broncano’s impending arrival at RTVE. The chatter suggests that his return to prime-time television would mark a pivotal moment for public broadcasting, drawing attention from viewers and industry watchers alike.
Current information indicates a two-season deal valued at 28 million euros, equating to 14 million euros per season. The format is slated to air in prime time from Monday through Thursday, starting next September, positioning it to compete directly with long-standing favorites such as El Hormiguero, First Dates, and El Intermedio, in addition to Telecinco’s new project led by Carlos Latre. This lineup underscores RTVE’s ambition to reclaim a strong prime-time presence and to offer audiences a familiar, high-energy format in the current television landscape.
Another notable detail concerns the branding of the program. The distinctive brand associated with La Resistencia is owned by Movistar Plus+, which means it cannot be claimed by public institutions. As a result, the production company is tasked with finding a fresh name for the La 1 premiere that nods to the essence of the original while avoiding direct imitation. This careful branding effort highlights the balancing act between continuity and originality as the show transitions to a new public-stage identity.
Additionally, the program’s social media presence is poised to launch anew from scratch, even as the project continues to leverage the platform’s reach. The departure of the CM after the last episode marks a turning point, with the team preparing for a fresh era of engagement and audience interaction. The shifting social strategy is part of a broader plan to sustain momentum and ensure that the show’s voice resonates with both longtime followers and new viewers who discover it through online channels. — attribution: El País
Industry observers note that Broncano’s move signals more than a single program renewal. It reflects RTVE’s strategic pivot toward high-profile personalities who command strong public interest and a distinctive on-air persona. The upcoming format is expected to blend Broncano’s characteristic humor with the show’s traditional pace, aiming to captivate diverse audiences while preserving the elements that have made similar formats enduring staples of late-night and prime-time viewing. As production ramps up, teams are likely to refine the show’s cadence, guest dynamics, and segment variety to deliver a balanced mix of comedy, conversation, and audience participation. — attribution: Televisión Española reporting network
In preparation for the new season, producers are coordinating closely with networks, advertisers, and talent management to ensure that scheduling, promotion, and cross-media integration align with viewer expectations. The transition also involves logistical adjustments, from studio setups to broadcast rights management, all designed to facilitate a smooth launch. On-screen talent, crew, and researchers are expected to adapt to the public television format, while the creative direction seeks to preserve the essence that fans recognize, even as the show evolves under a new brand umbrella. — attribution: industry briefings
