Who will ring the bells on major TV networks?

It’s time to put an end to 2022. A year that leaves us with harsh images such as the invasion of Ukraine, but others more hopeful, such as the gradual return to normality in a pandemic that we are gradually overcoming. These themes, and many others, will be remembered by the presenters of major TV channels at the bells. Viewers will once again have an extensive TV offer to pick up the 12 grapes and thus welcome 2023.

After the historic surprise that Antena 3 achieved last year, seizing for the first time the guide of the chimes from Televisión Española, the public has made major changes to this traditional televised event. Without going any further, he gave up on Anne Igartiburu, after 17 years at the head of this show. Antena 3, for its part, will once again focus on the couple formed by Cristina Pedroche and Alberto Chicote, with the aim of reconfirming last year’s feat. Mediaset, on the other hand, once again leaves aside the Puerta del Sol (Madrid) and focuses this time on Mariló Montero and Risto Mejide, presenters of Everything is a lie.

Spanish television

Ana Obregón and Los Morancos are in charge of chiming RTVE this year and welcoming 2023 from Puerta del Sol, Madrid. Probably, this election supposes the most surprising movement of this year’s chimes, given that, after 17 years, Televisión Española is without Anne Igartiburu on this important date. The truth is that the presence of the Basque communicator on the public channel grid has been declining in recent months, once the Corporation is demoted Heart on the weekends.

Moreover, Igartiburu will participate in the next edition of Your face is familiar to me on antenna 3, something that, according to some media, could have been the trigger for the public body to make this drastic decision. Anne Igartiburu did not comment on this controversial movement, although she did congratulate Ana Obregón for rebroadcasting the chimes this year. In 2020, the actress attended this major television event, after experiencing a difficult year. However, last year, Obregón fell ill with covid and I was unable to attend this important appointment. Given Ana Obregón’s sudden retirement, RTVE decided that presenter Jacob Petrus would be the one to replace her.

This year, one hour later, at 00:00 in the Canary Islands, the singer Nia and Roberto Herrera They will be in charge of welcoming the new year. Herrera thus celebrates the 21st anniversary of him in this famous broadcast, while for the winner of Operation Triumph 2020 It is the first time that it makes its debut in the chimes. Also, this event will be very special for Nia, since she will be presenting it from Gran Canaria, the island where she was born.

Aerial 3

Ana Obregón’s last-minute resignation due to her coronavirus positivity dented the public channel last year, as many viewers preferred to see Cristina Pedroche’s dress and “haircut”. The San Sebastián de los Reyes chain started 2022 making history, beating, for the first time, A 1 in the retransmission of the chimes. For this Antena 3 relies again this year on the collaborator of zapping and in Alberto Chicote to greet 2022 and try to achieve the good audience figures obtained the previous year.

33.7% of the audience, or 6,308,000 viewers, opted for Antena 3 for the 2021 chimes, rising to 7,534,000 viewers and 37.9% of To share at the exact minute of the grape. However, Televisión Española had to settle for 4,185,000 viewers, which meant an average of 22.4% for the public channel. The transmission of Anne Igartiburu and Jacob Petrus thus lost 7 points and 1,922,000 spectators compared to the previous year.

The sixth

The Atresmedia chain has chosen to repeat last year’s strategy and Cristina Pardo and Dani Mateo will be in charge of welcoming 2023. Pardo will thus present the bells of La Sexta for the seventh consecutive year, thus becoming the face of the channel that has repeatedly performed this task. In Dani Mateo’s case, this will be his second year leading the Bells of the Atresmedia network.

The presenter of zapping surprised at his premiere last year with an extravagant one dress pink that, with rhinestones and an extravagant hat, he remembered Rocket man. Internet users were the ones who chose the presenter’s particular wardrobe The intermediate. This year, the public was also able to decide the outfit that Dani Mateo will wear the last night of the year through the La Sexta site.

Both presenters repeat La Sexta’s New Year’s Eve chimes in the lead after reaching 5.8% and an average of 1,156,000 viewers, making it the most watched since 2017. Atresmedia communicators lacked only a tenth and 15,000 viewers to surpass the audience that Telecinco achieved with Paz Padilla and Carlos Sobera of Vejer de la Frontera.

Mediaset Spain

Mediaset counts on Risto Mejide and Mariló Montero to greet 2022 and welcome 2023. The presenters of Everything is a lie they will leave their usual mission of analysis of current events and will become the protagonists of the New Year’s chimes of the Fuencarral group. This special broadcast will be carried out live, from the Parque Mágicas Navidads of Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid), and simultaneously for all channels in the group, except Boing.

It was Carlos Sobera himself who entered via video call Everything is a lie to pass the baton to Mariló Montero and Risto Mejide and give them some advice for the big night. Since the presenter entered the Cuatro format a few months ago, she has shown the good understanding she has with Risto as a television couple. Probably for this reason, Mediaset España has decided to have both communicators for try to increase the insufficient audience that connected year after year.

Contraction

In 2020, Ibai Llanos started broadcasting the chimes on Twitch, from his home and surrounded by friends. The streamer got very good audience ratings. Last year he made the leap to more serious live show and featured Ramón García. The Basque presenter of the Castilla La Mancha regional channel has been one of the most emblematic faces of the Televisión Española bells for many years, although last year he addressed a younger audience and, together with Ibai Llanos, managed to garner, at least for one minute, 2.2 million unique viewers while its slot lasted.

That’s why this particular tandem will meet again this New Year’s Eve, to greet 2022 from Twitch. This has been confirmed by streamer Basque on Twitter account: “Don’t lose the tradition. This December 31st I will chime live with Ramón García. From my Twitch channel. We spend the year together. 2023 we come for you”.

It’s time to put an end to 2022. A year that leaves us with harsh images such as the invasion of Ukraine, but others more hopeful, such as the gradual return to normality in a pandemic that we are gradually overcoming. These themes, and many others, will be remembered by the presenters of major TV channels at the bells. Viewers will once again have an extensive TV offer to pick up the 12 grapes and thus welcome 2023.
