Shortly before the Grand Prix final was broadcastCarlo Boserman, general director of the IZEN group and of EuroTVProducciones, the company that has brought the return of the formathas attended an interview with verTELE in which he has been especially optimistic with the possibility of the program renewing for another year.
It will renew “at 99.99%. There has to be a tidal wave, an earthquake and a civil war; Of course it will be renewed, for sure”, Boserman summed up, stating later that the extension has not yet been signed. “If it was up to the chain it would have been renewed the next daybut I said that I was going on vacation and that we would talk in September.
The return to the small screen of the test contest in which two towns face each other became a reality after the abundant initiatives that were launched both on social networks and in public demonstrations. Ramón García has always established himself as one of the great defenders of television content that he considers “like a son”.
Defend the product and hallucinate with the audiences
Almost since the broadcast of the first program, the Grand Prix has recorded magnificent audience data. LThe screen share has reached 26% and has stood out especially among young people, a sign that shows that this age group was the people who expected the format the most. The magnitude of the figures has surprised even Boserman: “I believed in 17%, 18%, I bet on the club for 21%, and throwing something away because I am the general director and what am I going to say. But I didn’t expect 26% either ”, he admitted.
In the interview, he also defended the work of all the members of the squad and regretted the criticism that both Wilbur and Cristinini have received. In fact, in this sense, he does not hesitate to affirm that, if they finally end up renewing, they will offer all of them to continue. In addition, public television would continue to be the channel on which it would be broadcast.
The only aspect in which Boserman is open to small modifications is in the matter of the heifer. “We have to be very careful. Perhaps it is something that we have to improve the next edition, that it be more forceful, but we didn’t want it to be too forceful in this first season of return. There was a program that the heifer gave him with one hand, the contestant got angry and threw a ball at him. Imagine that we make it very forceful and we have a mess, ”he joked.
Regarding this fact, Miguel del Pozo, the person who plays the heifer of the program, confessed to having taken it with humor. “The game is difficult and if one comes to you with a stick. But come on, he threw me a pilates ball, nothing more. I tweeted when it aired to defend the contestantbecause I was afraid that there would be sticks for the action and I thought it was fun ”.
