Fighting against Survivors 2023 is a very risky move and, finally, RTVE and Cover Night have lost the battle. The public channel has decided to change the day of the musical talent and move it from Thursday night to Saturdays after the audience failure of the last program in which it lost almost half of the viewers, from 1,104,000 at its premiere to 556,000.
Already on the day of the premiere, on March 2, the results did not predict that the second program would improve. The first Cover Night programme, released after a Real Madrid – Barça game, only achieved an 11.9% audience share and just over a million viewers. Cover Night competed in the same slot with one of the strongest reality shows on current television,
.
Last Thursday RTVE repeated the attempt, but without a football match preceding it, the hit was greater: from 11.9% to 6.5% share and 556,000 viewers on average. Meanwhile, the second Survivors 2023 gala grew in screen share and number of viewers, becoming the most watched on Thursday night.
Given the result, RTVE has made a quick decision before the music talent becomes another season failure for the public channel: Cover Night will be broadcast on Saturday nights after the Weekly Report.
A new attempt to save the musical bet of La 1 this season and try not to end up like other bets on the chain such as Todos Contra 1 or Vamos a llevarnos bien that have been canceled due to their low audience data.
Probably, on Saturday night in which the dynamics of viewers has little to do with that of a daily prime time and with less competition and not as strong as Thursday night, the audience for Cover Night, produced by Shine Iberia.
It will be a third installment with ten new contestants willing to leave their skin to conquer one of the desired booths. In addition to the talent and the best versions of great musical themes, Ruth Lorenzo, presenter of the program, will put the public and the jury on their feet with her spectacular version of Purple rain, by Prince.
Topics like Bailar pegados, by Sergio Dalma; Halo, by Beyonce; What did you do, by Jennifer Lopez; Blinding lights, by The Weeknd; or La Zarzamora, by Antonio Molina will sound on the Cover Night stage interpreted in a very personal way by the participants.
More than 120 singers from 17 to 70 years old will go through the different installments on the stage of Cover Night, a musical talent produced by RTVE in collaboration with Shine Iberia, with the aim of reaching the grand finale and winning the first edition of the program and a cash prize of 100,000 euros.
The evaluations of the juries will have a fundamental role in the future of the contestants, but, in addition, in the fight to occupy one of the 9 booths of the program that allow the participants to stay week after week, the public will also have a lot to say : Your votes live from the set will be decisive.
