The broadcast of chimes is one of the rare events that still brings together the whole family or friends in front of the television. And there are those who have made it their own brand: the chains. This Friday, La 1 woke up with a sad look … news: Andreu Buenafuente, who, with his wife, the actress Silvia Abril, was going to present the chimes, announced to his subscribers, through RTVE’s social networks, that he would not be able to host the show. The presenter, who a few days after signing announced his temporary leave due to an “excessive workload”, explained that in this context of recovery, it was impossible to return to television. “I don’t see the point in forcing myself to do a day’s work. We have to come back. You have to be on the path, on the path, moving forward, and have the serenity to do again what I love (…) I had an episode of stress, something very common, not pleasant but common, in a society like this which is a little accelerated. Thanks to work that I create myself, I motivate myself and I believe myself (…) There was a moment when I couldn’t do it and my body told me that I had to stop.
The commitment to the stability of RTVE that had been made until a few years ago with Ramón García and Anne Igartiburu was modified by the attraction of Broncano, who presented with Lalachus the last bells after landing on Spanish television. So far, little is known about the new faces. After the great success of the 2024 campaign with Bronchano and Lalachus, the company launched a platform where the public can nominate candidates and vote for their favorites. Since its launch, a constant stream of names has continued to appear and the possible options have been very diverse, ranging from personalities from the world of music to profiles from the political world, to see David Broncano and Pablo Motos together, in Rosalía or a possible Marc Giró with grapes in hand. RTVE sources fear at the same time that this broadcast will become “a vindictive or ordinary act” and will cause characters like Inés Hernand to appear on screen. Even if everything indicates that this mystery will be solved next Tuesday, when RTVE makes its Christmas programming public.
Although the one who also made this show a brand is Atresmedia, which since 2014 has presented Cristina Pedroche, for the first time with Frank Blanco on LaSexta, and since 2015 on Antena 3 with Alberto Chicote. The presenter has become a media icon. Cristina Pedroche’s dresses in Las Campanadas have become a media phenomenon that arouses great intrigue among the public every year. This wait has become an essential part of the New Year’s Eve television tradition, prompting millions of viewers to tune in to the show not only to say goodbye to the year, but also to experience Pedroche’s long-awaited style. In addition, this year they are playing with a new asset: the presence of Santiago Segura, the creator of the saga ‘Father there is only one left’, now also transformed into a series, who will also accompany the two presenters.
Telecinco, on the other hand, tends to bet on innovation and in recent years faces of all kinds have appeared on the screen: Ion Aramendi and Blanca Romero, as well as Angeles Blanco and Ricardo Reyes, Jesús Vázquez and Paz, Jesús Calleja and Lara Álvarez or the tandem formed by Christian Gálvez and Sandra Barneda. This year it repeats partially with Barneda as presenter, but this time with Xuso Jones, who will do it from the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees, both for Telecinco and for Cuatro.
