RTVE Shuffles Programming: ‘Bad Tongues’ and Women’s Soccer Get Unexpected Twists

Television Española (TVE) is set for an atypical week in its afternoon programming schedule, marked by significant alterations to two key broadcasts. These changes, occurring consecutively, underscore RTVE’s strategic adjustments to its content lineup.

‘Bad Tongues’ Debuts with Dual Broadcasts

The program ‘Bad Tongues’, hosted by Jesús Cintora, is undergoing a rapid shift in its launch strategy. Instead of a single channel premiere, the new show will now be broadcast simultaneously on both channels 1 and 2 on Wednesday, April 9th, from 6:45 PM to 9:00 PM. Following this initial launch, the program will continue to air in the same time slot exclusively on channel 2. This move is intended to maximize exposure and reach a broader audience.

Women’s Soccer Pivots to Channel 1

The schedule takes another unexpected turn on Tuesday, April 8th, when Spain’s Women’s national soccer team will be broadcasting live on channel 1. Originally slated for channel 2, the match against Portugal in the UEFA NATIONAL LEAGUE is being moved to the flagship channel. The broadcast is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM, with an estimated conclusion around 9:00 PM, preceding Telediario 2. This strategic shift highlights the importance of the Nations League match for Spain’s qualification prospects. According to their official broadcast promotion, Spain will play in Channel 1.

‘Bad Tongues’ Faces Critical Match

‘Bad Tongues’’s premiere arrives amidst a crucial period for the Spanish national team. With just three days remaining in the first phase of the UEFA Nations League, Spain currently sits in second place in its group, trailing England by a single point and ahead of Portugal by two. A victory against Portugal is paramount to solidify Spain’s position and secure a coveted spot in the tournament’s semifinals—the only path to the final.
