Spain TV ratings battle 2026

Entities: RTVE · TV3 · Dog House (TV series) · FBI International · La 1 (RTVE)

Overview

In mid‑July, Manu Sánchez’s late‑night program “El Perro Andaluz” on public channel La 1 saw its audience dip to a 12.5 % share and 831 000 viewers – the lowest since the show’s launch – yet it remained the most‑watched prime‑time slot, outpacing rival channels. Sánchez used his monologue to comment on the removal of the Gibraltar fence and broader social issues.

Two weeks later, La 1’s overall performance solidified its lead in the July ratings. Antena 3’s news bulletin captured a 23.1 % share, but La 1’s flagship “Viaje al centro de la tele” and “El Perro Andaluz” logged 12.3 % and 13.2 % shares respectively, with viewership figures around 1.1 million and 838 000. The channel’s cumulative July share rose to 19.2 %, confirming its dominance over competing networks.

The data indicate that despite a temporary dip, “El Perro Andaluz” continued to draw strong audiences, contributing to La 1’s sustained lead in Spain’s television market throughout July 2026.
