The Spanish media landscape is undergoing significant restructuring and programming updates for the 2026-2027 season. New developments include the upcoming launch of the television channel La Séptima on November 5, which is building a roster of talent including Alba Carrillo, Marta Márquez, Javier Ruiz, and Rocío Delgado.
