There are few broadcasts on television as predictable as the chimes. Every year, the same list: greeting the spectators, a brief explanation to distinguish the noise of the carillon from the sound of the bells and a generous congratulation so that we enter the new year on the right foot, accompanied, of course, by long promotional spots of the chain itself. You have to sell the programming. On Antena 3, Cristina Pedroche meanwhile plays with her dress, which has also become something that the audience seems to not be able to miss. However, TVE’s commitment is clear: tradition, simplicity and with an eye on the most important thing about New Year’s Eve, the clock in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol.
On this occasion, the public channel gives a twist to the usual broadcast with a trio of presenters with whom it wants all audiences to see themselves reflected in a night where the family once again gathers around the television. On December 31, Ramón García returns to TVE after his experience with the streamer Ibai Llanos on Twitch, but he will do so with the singer Ana Mena as a companion. To top off the night, world champion Jennifer Hermoso will also stop by the balcony.
«I thought it was someone’s joke. It was something unexpected, but obviously I was very excited because being on the most special night of the year, at Puerta del Sol, I think is something that cannot be rejected,” says the soccer player, considered one of the most influential women in the world. world according to the Financial Times and who, a few days before New Year’s Eve, is still preparing with the RTVE team the words he will say to say goodbye to a historic year. “I’m new to this and I have to learn how to handle the situation,” she says.
From 2023 he will not forget August 20. Spain won a women’s soccer world cup for the first time. The selection made history. Days later, the victory was soured by the non-consensual kiss of the former president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales. She received the support of all her teammates and other athletes around the world. And again they made history. «We have been champions and that is what has to overcome everything negative or that we don’t like it so much. What we have achieved in women’s sport is a historic milestone,” the player emphasizes.
Regarding her new television challenge, the soccer player confesses that she has already spoken with Ramonchu and Ana Mena about the bells. She says that they told her that she should be calm and, above all, that she should enjoy it. On the balcony of Puerta del Sol she will be accompanied by her brother. “He will be there because the other part of the family is going to be at home watching me on TV,” she says. By 2024, Jennifer Hermoso wants the Spanish team to enter the Paris Olympic Games. “Whatever else you can dream or think… we know that 99% of the things you want never happen,” she acknowledges.
The cape returns
But the chimes bring with them the return of the presenter of this annual event par excellence: Ramón García. It will be the fifteenth time that the Basque eats grapes on public television screens, after doing so on Antena 3 and on Twitch. He explains that the broadcast will not lose the essence or tradition of RTVE, however, he warns that there will be “new things.” «They are going to be very new and very different. They will be in the same place. What is going to change a little is the content itself of what the broadcast is. There will be a very spectacular start, with a lot of color,” he says.
The communicator closes 2023 in a great professional moment. His success with the program ‘In company’, which is broadcast on regional television in Castilla-La Mancha, was joined by the return of ‘The Grand Prix of the summer’ to La 1, a real hit with audiences that exceeded the expectations of the corporation. “We veterans ask for health for the new year,” he emphasizes. This December 31, in addition, the public channel once again has the challenge of recovering the audience leadership in the bells, after losing it in favor of Cristina Pedroche and Alberto Chicote on Antena 3. «That no longer depends on us. What does depend is on making them attractive, trying to improve the data from recent years. Audiences are cyclical: they go up, they go down…. Let’s see on January 2 in what position they leave us,” says the communicator.
