Marc Giró's late night show flops
Marc Giró's late night show on La Sens has failed to connect with audiences. Critics, both viewers and analysts, point to a format that never quite takes off. The host, known for his provocative style, faces a tough outlook for late-night television.
The track record of late night shows on La Sens is rocky; no format has managed to establish itself in that slot. Marc Giró's case is no exception. Social media has been flooded with negative comments, some particularly harsh about the show's editorial line and the host's personality. There is speculation that the program could be renewed for reasons unrelated to ratings, or that the host could land at other public channels.
The debate over the show's failure has also reignited criticism of RTVE's management and its alleged lack of independence. Some analysts suggest that, despite public rejection, the project could be kept alive for political reasons. However, the current situation suggests the format has not caught on and that Marc Giró's future in television is uncertain.
Meanwhile, the question hanging in the air is whether late night has a future on Spanish generalist television, or whether audiences have definitively migrated to other platforms.
