Sources: 24. Developments: 5. Televisión Española (TVE) is marking its 70th anniversary with various programming tributes to Spanish journalism. Initial commemorations included the return of former ‘Informe Semanal’ presenter Mari Carmen García Vela to the studio after thirty years. As part of the celebrations, Telediario 1 held a special live broadcast from Robledillo de la Jara in northern Madrid, a location chosen for its symbolic connection to the arrival of television in the region. This broadcast featured archival footage, musical performances by the RTVE Orchestra and Choir, and a tribute to retiring meteorologist Ana de Roque. On October 18, the network aired the 45-minute special ‘El Telediario de nuestras vidas’. Hosted by Pepa Bueno and directed by Carlos del Amor, the program reviewed seven decades of major news events, including the death of Francisco Franco, the Spanish Transition to democracy, the moon landing, the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the 9/11 attacks, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The broadcast featured a reunion of iconic journalistic figures, including Iñaki Gabilondo, Ana Blanco, Matías Prats, Carlos Franganillo, Pedro Piqueras, Olga Viza, and Manuel Campo Vidal. To promote the event, the network released a promotional video styled after the opening scene of the film ‘Reservoir Dogs’, showing journalists walking toward Torrespaña. On October 19, the anniversary celebrations included a tribute to Queen Letizia, highlighting her previous career as a journalist. To further commemorate the milestone, RTVE has launched a dedicated 24-hour thematic channel, ‘RTVE 70 años’, on its RTVE Play platform, providing exclusive access to the corporation’s historical audiovisual archive. ## Claims - A special news program titled ‘El Telediario de nuestras vidas’ will air on Monday, October 19.
