David Broncano returns to TVE with a dig at Pablo Motos and a loss to 'El Hormiguero'

The ratings battle is long and fraught with horrors. So many that even David Broncano's hair has changed color. What hasn't changed is the strength of 'El Hormiguero,' which has been posting good numbers for a week now and, in its first matchup of the season with 'La Revuelta,' has once again prevailed.

The season begins as it ended, with Pablo Motos's 'El Hormiguero' leading the ratings. And now...

This Monday, the Antena 3 program began the week as the most-watched entertainment program on television, with a 17.2% audience share, one point above its main rival, which was the most-watched program on La 1 but failed to beat 'El Hormiguero'.

According to data from Dos30', an average of 1,944,000 viewers watched Mar Flores' return to television, interviewed by Pablo Motos without any reference to the public network's program.

David Broncano did speak about Pablo Motos, although he didn't need to mention the host directly. His guests were enough.

After the Magic Man's usual appearance to ask the children to leave the room, the host of 'La Revuelta' took the floor: "All children are worthy of the audience. Then they always beat us because of the children. You say the children should stay."

In case the allusion wasn't clear, he also referred to some of the guests on 'El Hormiguero' last week: "Last week, Sergio Ramos, Arturo Pérez-Reverte , and Bertín Osborne—a real statement of intent."

Theirs have also been revealed, but for now it seems they are not enough to beat the strongest rival on the grid.
