After public media intervention by the government in February Javier Milei, uncertainty about their present and future was growing. After 72 years of history, the Public television is slowly becoming a time capsule dedicated solely to reproducing content from the immediate past.
And the same thing is happening with the programming of Match, DeporTV and Paka Paka, which no longer surprise viewers at all, nor bring anything new to the table. Simply they resist and try not to disappear. Behind closed doors, no one knows how much longer they can continue like this. But, What does the grid of these channels currently look like?
The strength of Public TV has become news. Nowadays, It is only active from Monday to Friday. The first edition of TVP News It’s noon, which is 12 to 1:30 p.m. It goes live at night the central information programme, from 8pm to 9.30pm.. This is, There are only three hours of live content in the entire day on the grid, which add up to a total of only 15 hours of broadcast per week.
The on camera news team consists of Silvia Fernández, Alejandro Puertas, Pablo Vigna, Magalí Ahrendts and Florencia Rodríguez.
The rest of the grid It is completed with repetitions of programs already created, such as Pampero TV, Stories from here and there AND Blind date. But the one that is repeated the most is Argentine chefs, the cycle whose completion caused a great stir a couple of weeks ago.
What it was the fixed program with the highest ratings on public TV now broadcast twice a day throughout the week, excluding Saturdays.
“Argentine chefs”, the cycle that Guillermo Calabrese created for the state screen. Even without it, it was one of the canal’s workhorses.From Monday to Friday it occupies the classic cooking series which recently said goodbye to the small screen four hours a day of total programming. And Sunday has three more hours on the air, becoming the favorite to fill the grid of Latin America’s oldest continuously broadcast channel.
And this was clearly not a random decision, but rather a matter of resort to maintaining a loyal audience, with the help of the more federal and integrative cycle that occurred on the canal. A gastronomic programme, but with an interesting cultural background on the habits and customs of the different regions.
The rest of the channels, with more recycling than ever
Encuentro, a signal created not with a mass destination but for a broad sector of cultural interest, has been able to be the ideal venue for entertaining those who prefer cultural and educational content. It began broadcasting in 2007 and from there has produced series, documentaries and interview programs characterized by plurality.
But today nothing is produced. Everything currently broadcast on Encuentro is previous productions, which are repeated over and over again. In some cases, twice a day. In this case, programs broadcast in “replay” mode are. Migrants, Dialogues with time, Two stories AND Meeting in the studiothe musical series directed by Lalo Mir.
The same thing happens with Paka Paka, which constantly repeats children’s series and has no new productions on the horizon. It’s surely, He is one of those whose survival is more complicated..
Lalo Mir and León Gieco, in a broadcast of “Meeting in the studio”, one of the repeating stickers of the cable signal.On the other hand, DeporTV only broadcasts live sports news, Central DeporTVlive from 2pm to 3pm. Furthermore, on Saturday a series of interviews with the athletes saved from the revolt, conducted by the journalist, will be broadcast Cecilia Ruffa.
Reality and the future remain uncertain within all the channels which today struggle to keep even just a couple of screens on. Meanwhile, the restructuring of the programming is being planned, but so far there is no precise information on what will happen, nor who would be responsible for it.
