Carlota Reig leaves La Sexta after 20 years amid network restructuring

Carlota Reig La Sexta Atresmedia sports journalism television restructuring

Journalist Carlota Reig has announced her departure from La Sexta after 20 years with the network. Reig, who has led the sports news segment 'La Sexta Deportes' for the last 12 years, shared her farewell via social media, reflecting on her career covering major events such as the Champions League and international tennis tournaments.

Her exit coincides with a significant restructuring of the sports programming at Atresmedia. This period of transition follows the departure of another prominent figure, Josep Pedrerol, and the cancellation of the program 'Jugones'. The network is currently implementing a new, shorter sports news format to accommodate changes in the daily broadcast schedule.

Separately, internal tensions have been reported at Radio Nacional de España (RNE) under the leadership of José Pablo López. Staff members have expressed dissatisfaction regarding the high costs of hiring external talent for major programming slots. Recent high-profile additions, including Juan Ramón Lucas and David Cantero, have drawn criticism due to their significant annual salaries compared to the existing workforce.
