Six months later, ‘La Revuelta’ and ‘El Hormiguero’ are still tied at audience. It’s excellent news for Broncano

Practically from the premiere of ‘The revolt‘Last September, that is, now almost six months ago, press and spectators we have raised a battle narrative between the two programs of the Prime Time. Given the spectacular audience rates that both programs have sustained and that We have been following practically day by daytried to proclaim a winner on both sides. The truth is that numerically still does not have a clear winner, although there is a battle that ‘El Hormiguero’ had won from the beginning: that of advertising.

The battlefield. Broncano did not have to wait too long to proclaim his first victories. In fact, from nothing less than The second day in broadcastits many initials could be aim: nothing less than 4.4 points of Share Of advantage in the strip of strict coincidence of both programs, a measure that we have used to using hereinafter. ‘El Hormiguero‘He began to stretch his start and farewell hours (a measure that would soon imitate Broncano) to add more spectators, which ended up renting, as we will see. But in the strip of a little less than an hour in which both programs coincided, the victory used to stop for the new 1 program.

2024: We have a winner. The Barlovento Communication agency did when it ended 2024 An analysis of the figures of ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta‘. He gave the victory to Broncano by the minimum: 26.7 million total viewers in the case of motorcycles compared to 28.9 million for the La1 program. In Sharethe difference is almost negligible: ‘El Hormiguero’ had a fee of Share average of 15.6% compared to 15.7 of ‘La Revuelta’. If we buy the monthly evolution of this graph we will see that ‘La Revuelta’ has an advantage in two of the four months of 2024, and the same happens with the number of viewers. The sum gives Broncano victory, but no matter how little.

He Prime Time Live, the fight continues. The return to normal after Christmas holidays has been full of ups and downs. ‘La Revuelta’ brought together more media attention after New Year’s Eve bellsbut motorcycles has remained firm. And so, there has been Shares For all tastes. He Return on January 7 He resulted in an overwhelming Broncano victory (17.4 compared to 13.2), but they quickly matched with tenth differences. There were also total victories from Antena 3, such as The night of January 15where Joaquín as a guest of ‘El Hormiguero’ (16%) and with his own documentary (16.3%) overwhelmed La1 (11,8). ‘El Hormiguero’ has also had Rachas of victories (four in a row) to finally return to The usual situation.

Some extra potholes. In addition, at this 2025 start, both ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’ have encountered a couple of extra challenges, which did not have in the last months of 2024: on the one hand the unforeseen success of ‘The island of the temptations’, which has turned his Montoya into An international success And he has taken the assault on Mondays and Wednesday. On the other hand, the Champions League has caused the audiences of both programs to fall When they have coincided with one or more important matches, and the Copa del Rey has delayed the Broncano Start time, sinking your audience.

The novelty effect does not exist with Broncano. The “novelty effect” is an issue that is being studied in marketing for years: The emotional implication that raises the new He brought up when he talked about the arrival of Broncano. There was the possibility that ‘the revolt’ would deflate as the initial impact passed. Finally, it seems to corroborate that the data that the first hearings persist: Broncano has appealed to an age strip And a type of audience that television did not see before that time, which has had an additional effect: the hearings of ‘El Hormiguero’, little interested in ‘La Revuelta’, have barely experienced variations.

The victory of ‘El Hormiguero’. Although the figures do not give motorcycles, in one aspect it can be calm: The juicy advertising income from your program They have not descended. The impossibility of the1 to issue advertising (except for occasional sponsorships that have already been given Some disgust) Leave all the advertising investment of that strip in the hands of the Antena 3 program. So although a contender has emerged at that time, something can be congratulated: at least, its competitor is on public television.
