The night programme hosted by Santi Acosta and Beatriz Archidona bids farewell this Friday, July 31. Repeats will fill its slot until September, while the daily edition will be extended by half an hour from August 3.
This Friday, July 31, Telecinco will air the last programme of the season of 'De Viernes'. Starting August 7, the show presented by Santi Acosta and Beatriz Archidona will make way for repeats of the best moments of the format, as confirmed by the Mediaset network.
The decision responds to the decline in television consumption in August, which the network takes advantage of to give the programme's team a breather. Meanwhile, the daily version, 'De lunes a viernes', will not only continue but will be reinforced: from August 3, its duration will be extended by half an hour, airing from 17:45 to 20:00 hours.
This change in the evening schedule comes after the cancellation of 'Amor o lo que surja', the dating show hosted by Carlos Lozano. With its disappearance, 'El verano se mueve' will move its time slot forward and will be broadcast from 15:45 to 17:45 hours, making way for Acosta and Archidona's show.
Telecinco's initial intention is for 'De Viernes' not to return until September, coinciding with the start of the new television season. However, the network does not rule out bringing its return forward if the audience ratings for the repeats do not support it, especially at a time when the channel is experiencing a ratings crisis that has led it to a new historic monthly low in July.
For viewers in the province of Málaga, Telecinco's schedule remains accessible via TDT and pay platforms. The absence of the night programme does not affect the daily broadcast, which will continue as normal throughout August.
Hosts Santi Acosta and Beatriz Archidona will take turns leading 'De lunes a viernes' to enjoy a few days of holiday. Thus, while one rests, the other will take the reins of the daily format alone.
The Mediaset network is confident that this summer restructuring will allow the 'De Viernes' team to recharge their batteries for the upcoming season, in which the programme is expected to maintain its focus on celebrity news and social chronicles.
For fans of the format, the repeats that will air on Fridays in August will serve as a recap of the season's highlights, featuring interviews and reports that have marked the current television entertainment landscape.
Telecinco has not specified the exact return date of 'De Viernes', but internal sources indicate that the comeback will occur in the first week of September, provided that audience developments do not necessitate last-minute changes.
